TW: direct quotes from Winston Churchill
"I hate indians, they are a beastly people with a beastly religion"
When asked about sending food to help with the famine, he said it'd do no good because they "breed like rabbits"
The man was a monster, plain and simple. May he rest in hell, same as Hitler.
Ah yes the comic that deprogrammed me on anarchism
It's my go-to for western movies and tv - what do y'all use?
My other goto's:
But for tv and such I'm not too too scared of viruses, they'd have to use an exploit in the codec, and usually they just use a .mp4.exe or similar bc they lazy 😁
Yeah, Papa Et Al registered Et Al as his family name, and combined names when he got married
Common misunderstanding - her full name is "Jessica McCarty Et Al"
There is a trauma in being feared - ask any Muslim who was in the US circa 2001-2008
Not fond of this "both sides" attitude - you don't see women threatening the safety of men: the onus is on men to ensure that women feel safe around them. It's not enough to not hurt a woman, but to ensure the woman is always in a situation where she feels like you aren't a threat. Don't isolate her from a crowd as there is safety in numbers. Be confrontational against men who male her feel unsafe. Keep space so she doesn't have to fear sudden movements from you. Etc etc etc. It's work to navigate in such an environment, but it isn't impossible.
If you want to engage with women on more equal footing, your enemy is the men who are making them feel unsafe, not the women for feeling unsafe. This is the only viable path forward.
Being a straight woman in this day and age is so unfortunate, I feel bad for y'all ngl
Damn, lemmyworld really is becoming a right wing trashpile
Yeah, this way the US gets to control the algos and surveillance
