if you have hearing loss & ask me to repeat something & I say ‘nevermind’ I promise it’s not cause I’m a jerk treating you like an inconvenience, it’s cause I realized what i said was fucking stupid

Okay but like, please repeat it anyway, and then add that you realize it’s stupid? Or at least say “I’ve realized it was stupid, so I’d like not to repeat it”. Please don’t just say “nevermind”.

Yes PLEASE do this. I’m hard of hearing and when someone says “nevermind” it always feels like they’re actually saying “ugh your hearing loss is such a pain in the ass, it’s not worth the damn effort” even if that isnt the truth. I don’t care how dumb it is, the clarification makes me feel so much better.

this is really important feedback, thank you! From now on I will make certain to either repeat myself or explain respectfully why I prefer not. You deserve to feel comfortable and respected in all conversations. My insecurities and self-consciousness is a issue, but it’s my issue to deal with.

Deported to where?

Hey folks, just a reminder that this is a *fascist* government

last year: There is literally an old Trump tweet for every awful thing he does!

this year: There is literally a direct nazi parallel for every awful thing he does!

This is true to a degree but if I can admit that. Then y’all need to recognize that anti-fascism people are trying to limit free speech under a moral and good disguise just like the Nazi storm trupers did!

Fucking the world’s going to he’ll in a hand basket no matter who says what or thinks what.

Free speech means the government cant arrest you for saying shit. It doesnt mean that there arent social and personal consequences for saying shit.

Nazis advocate for genocide. Anyone with any morals at all should oppose that.

I…. deporting someone for taking a knee during the nation is about as anti free speech as you can get, given that all the anti-fascist people on this post are against it, and the fascists seem to be all for it I really don’t understand how the fucking hell someone could come to the conclusion that the anti-fascists are the ones against free speech here

What’s funny is that this actually happened. 

I’m unfamiliar with this story please elaborate

Finnish soldier gets separated from the rest of his unit but he’s the only one carrying the emergency amphetamines for the unit, takes too many and goes on a one man rampage for like 2 weeks straight giving the opposing Soviet soldiers nightmares for decades. Oh and he did it all on skis. 

Did he survive?

Yes, during his methed up 2-3 week rampage he got injured by a land mine, travelled 400km on skis, and only ate pine buds and a Siberian Jay that he caught which he ate raw. When he made it back to Finnish lines he was taken to a hospital where it was found his heart rate was nearly 200 beats per minute and his weight had dropped to 43kg (94.7lbs).

His name was Aimo Koivunen if you want to look him up

Those are the eyes of a man who has seen god and laughed

He still off the shits

Maybe Lemmy was somehow related to this guy.

Remember the TERF group that
spent £40,000 on a full page ad attacking trans rights in the Metro newspaper, which was apparently funded by US-based conservative Christian groups?

Now they’re boasting on fb about encouraging random men and “gangs of lads” to commit violence against trans women.

TERFs will claim in one breath to be against male violence, while with the other they incite this very same violence against the women they hate.

handing out propaganda to men and encouraging them to enact violence upon already oppressed people in order to supposedly “protect their wives and children”… not like that’s such a common and exclusive tactic of reactionary hate groups that it’s a hallmark of fascist organising or anything 😬

TERFs aren’t just silly internet weirdos with regressive beliefs; they’re a hate group with a very clear mission statement in removing trans people totally from the public sphere if not eradicating them entirely. Their politics are inherently violent and they will seek to enact that violence whenever they get the chance.

It’s not just internet discourse. This shit has a bodycount and they’re looking to increase it.

THERE’S STILL TIME TO HELP. The UK government’s consultation on trans and genderqueer rights is online and closing at 11pm Friday 19 October 2018. You can fill in the whole consultation here or Stonewall’s shorter version here.
