    I feel pretty done with being plugged in to the online bubble of hope/doom conjecture. I’ve already unfollowed and detached from some online spaces that I used to consider extensions of real life communities but now just view as meaningless spaces for folks to hear their own voices and force arguments for sport.

    Democrats see polling that says 58% of people believe trans athletes should compete in the division of their birth sex and are going to throw trans people under the bus in 2026/2028



    and completely skip over the same polling shows that 65% are strongly in favor of passing laws protecting trans people

    This state rep from Michigan really gets it, he was an organizer for Bernie and for his local union. Oh yeah and he is a DSA member.

    I got kicked off a discord server (where I had to verify I was black to join) because I was pro LGBTQIA+ this is an unfortunately common in many black male spaces. It goes a step further often that there is seen to be a (white/jewish/etc) conspiracy to emasculate us so being queer is twisted into being "anti-black". This opinion runs pretty strong across age brackets too. I connected with my biological father after 20 years of searching with him to find out he was a homophobe and blocked him.

    I'm not sure how to combat it, better messaging I guess.

    it’s so engrained in the culture I truly don’t see it ever changing. it really explains why trans women of color have such a high murder rate.

    if it makes you feel better, black men are generally the most progressive male demographic.

  16. lots of stuff here all of us have said many many times, but the "republican party fears their base, the democratic runs away from their base" is the most concise version all the words i wrote above :crylaugh:

    and a lot of hasan's popular clips and viral tweets aren't anything that requires a memorization of dad kapital. most of his stuff is just reaction to the absolute brain dead moves by Dems and making fun of republicans which we all do in here daily. might as well have a reach into gen z and make some money from it
     
  20. as someone that would 10000% pause on camera and fucking hates talking into a camera it makes me sad writing can't make money anywhere anymore :crylaugh:

    gonna use an ai to turn our best politic posts into a youtube channel and read this shit out

    I am just going to forever be a dinosaur and it comes to the streamer stuff. I just can’t stand the platform and just the way everyone talks irritates me. That Destiny character has shown up a few times on things I watch and he acts like he some deep understand if American foreign policy but he‘s still learning whether he should say the r word on stream. I can’t take these people seriously, they have no experience it’s like me back in first semester of college. I was a dumbass posting on ap, I shouldn’t have been influencing anybody

    Does this thread get less divisive during Republican terms? Like you wont have to argue about whether dems are malicious, incompetent, or trying their best. Or do people just come in hot like "we need to get the dems back" and it's business as usual?

    Hasan gets smeared as an anarcho communist by the most brain dead people alive and still pulls the numbers he does and yeah he’s not saying anything particularly novel or revolutionary just basic material analysis that the rest of the mainstream left completely lacks from a voice as charismatic as his

    i think i would be able to talk into the camera for a planned scripted video than stream tho. i dunno. maybe if its like a 2 hour long stream with a run sheet i can do that. i do enjoy the stuff from black liberation media.



    their morning show satisfies my need for a z100 morning zoo type thing.
