      Stay the hell out of peoples bedrooms you damn Nazis.

      Unfortunately, we have a large and wealthy class of people who believe kicking in your bedroom door and arresting you for the crime of fucking is good public policy. And until those people lose power, they will continue to fund the social and literal murder of the LGBTQ community.

      Complicating things further, we have monetized the process of stigmatizing minority groups. So not only do we have a wealthy upper class that believes in sexual prohibition. We have a profit-seeking industrial system that wants to maximize the amount of money generated through surveilling, assaulting, imprisoning, and publicly castigating members of the underclass. Until that engine of profit-seeking is destroyed, we’re going to see poor residents turned against one another in the struggle to access the enormous economic surpluses horded by the upper class.

        The only way for them to lose power is for them to lose their life. But not enough of you Lefties own guns compared to MAGA, and you continue to vote in favor of restricting ownership in most blue/left-leaning states. So it’s not going to be well for anyone for the next fifty years.

          not enough of you Lefties own guns

          I think you’d be surprised how many do. But guns aren’t magic. I haven’t seen anyone clearly articulate what we do with our guns that we have.

          Not the least bit because anyone bold enough to try is kicked off the site.

              No. It is to empower local militias to take land from unincorporated native peoples.

              Absent the legal authority to communicate your grieveness, congregate a movement in opposition, and define your ideological tenants free from persecution, how do you build up a militia with which to resist a tyrannical state?

              Unless you’re psychic, there’s no way to mobilize a mass movement. The best you can do as a lone gunman is stocastic violence.

            I know you’re joking, but all that will do is get you arrested and put in prison, nor fix the underlying issue that fascism keeps coming back due to pacifist dipshits are afraid to deter them with armed protests and violent rhetoric.

    Wake up folks and see how religion is a great way for those in power to control you. Stop giving money to religious groups and religion loses all of its power.

      Religion is a tool used by Fascist. You don’t defeat Fascism by pretending one of its tools is the true problem. Religion can just as easily be a tool of anti fascist resistance movements. Removing that tool from leftist movements has been a vital flaw of many revolutions.

      I am not religious. But saying we should abolish religion will just have the “Ms. Rachel” types of Christians with actual real moral compass (her stance on Gaza obviously being one) caught in crossfire.

      There is no working class movement without embracing religion as a tool to form solidarity. Religion is not just all fundamentalist idiots.

        I don’t see where they said to abolish religion. It was a call to people to stop giving money to religion. You can be religious without donating a single cent to religion.

          There are a lot of religious groups helping to protect people from ICE right now. Blindly saying to stop giving money to religious groups across the board is either malicious or naive. I assumed naive.

          Why do you think the feds gave the ability for ICE to enter religious buildings that use to be protected?

          Religion is a tool. It’s not good or bad in some fundamental way.

            This is a common defense of religion, but it naively (or maliciously) ignores that secular groups help to protect people as well. Unlike religions, secular non profits are required to show how they spend their money, so the help is more direct and you can confirm if they are using the money you donate the way you want instead of some of it going to bigotry.

            If it’s a tool it’s a bad one. You can’t even check if it’s working right. It’s like a tool you can’t check and just hopes it works the way you want it to.

              It’s not a defense of religion. I don’t know why atheist Andy’s have a hard time understanding that THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE RELIGIOUS.

              So, instantly alienating religion and religious groups is just giving away a huge part of the population away to fascist propaganda. Religion can be used as a tool of anti fascist for leftist propaganda too though.

              If you don’t understand that then you clearly have never spoken with any leftist from the black communities of the South. Religion is a fundamental unifying part of any movement of solidarity there.

                I literally am a black leftist in GA. I, nor the first person said to alienate nor abolish religion. Op said to stop giving religion money, and I pointed out giving money to religion is better spent giving money to organizations that directly help, and specifically help.

                There are also organizations working towards making communities for black people who aren’t religious, such https://blacknonbelievers.org/

                I welcome religious people and churches helping out, and I’m not going to say anyone should reject such help. I am saying, that as a religious or non religious person, directly giving to organizations that help specifically would help much more than giving to a religion. It’s similar to say the difference between getting ad revenue and Patreon or other direct donations. The latter is more effective.

                Lastly, I will say there definitely is a critique of religion, in that many either way into a global fund/membership that donates to organizations that have contributed to where we are now, or directly do so themselves. Can I gaurantee every single one does? No, mainly because as I pointed out they have special rules where they can hide where their money goes. Some small unaffiliated churches may be completely clean.

                However, those aren’t even the ones you are talking about, since you specified the large populations of religious people in the south. Those standard denominations definitely gave to anti LGBT, anti abortion, and donated to have exceptions in law carved out for themselves, which significantly contributed to GOP effort to stiffle freedoms. That money helped Trump

    Conservatives spent at least two decades saying that queer acceptance is a slippery slope would lead to the normalization of incest, then bestiality, then pedophila, in that order. And then it turns out that being conservative was the thing that led to pedophila all along. So I’m left feeling like every accusation is a confession, and that homophobia is their way of covering their tracks.

        Nah bro. I’m not stupid enough to vote 3rd party when a 3rd party candidate stands exactly 0% chance of winning.

        In 2024 the 3rd party candidate with the most votes got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast. Confirming that 3rd party candidates stand a snowball’s chance in hell of winning.

        You’d know that if you weren’t stupid.

        It boggles my mind that less than a year ago fools like you found out exactly what happens when you vote 3rd party when no 3rd party has worked to become viable and yet your hamster brain is ready to go for it again. Zero lessons learned.

        Nah, unlike you I’ll be smart and live in reality where the safest bet for our nation is voting for the viable non-fascist party that we can then work to reform once we’re sure the fascist party is out of the picture.

        P.S. Your link is fucking stupid because none of the fools that voted 3rd party knew whether their choice was going to make the difference or not when they voted. So they’re still fucking idiots who just happened to be inconsequential idiots this time around.

          Nah bro. I’m not stupid enough to vote 3rd party when a 3rd party candidate stands exactly 0% chance of winning.

          As opposed to the diet-Republican candidates who also have a 0% chance at winning as demonstrated by Donald Trump getting elected a second time and the Republicans controlling every branch of government? Sound logic there.

          In 2024 the 3rd party candidate with the most votes got a whopping half of a single percent of the total votes cast. Confirming that 3rd party candidates stand a snowball’s chance in hell of winning.

          That’s because people like yourself decided to throw their votes away voting for the people colluding with Republicans to wipe our democracy out.

          It boggles my mind that less than a year ago fools like you found out exactly what happens when you vote Democratic party when no Democratic candidate has worked to become viable and yet your hamster brain is ready to go for it again. Zero lessons learned.

          Nah, unlike you I’ll be smart and live in reality where the safest bet for our nation is voting for the viable non-fascist party that we can then work to reform once we’re sure the fascist party is out of the picture.

          So then you do support third parties? They’re the only non-fascist parties we have in this country, but I’m sure a smart guy like yourself knows that. Please describe this scenario where “the fascist party is out of the picture” because I’d love to hear it. It’s quite comical to see you write this immediately after talking about how you “live in reality.”

          P.S. Your link is fucking stupid because none of the fools that voted 3rd party knew whether their choice was going to make the difference or not when they voted. So they’re still fucking idiots who just happened to be inconsequential idiots this time around.

          It’s quite telling when someone, on numerous occasions, has to include in their argument how smart they are and how much of an idiot everyone else is. That’s the cornerstone of a well reasoned argument.
