the fact that the bourgeoisie often display class solidarity and have a set of shared class interests doesn't mean they can be treated as one undifferentiated agent -- and i think doing so will make you produce some very confusing and strange analyses of what's happening in the usa right now, which is imo one faction of an intrabourgeoisie power struggle emerging triumphant and benefiting themselves to the detriment of the class and us imperial project as a whole
Assembly language, various coding languages, and compilers were also invented by women!
Coding was also female-dominated in the start because men thought it wasn't worth much so they let women work on it. Oh... how wrong they were lmao
"women didn't invent anything"
LITERALLY
These religions just exist to break you and build you up in the way that they want. They're just so... out there. Like, the most weird black and white thought.
And how the fuck is God gonna save you from HIMSELF??? Literal abuser rhetoric. Not to sound like an athiest neckbeard but it really does have all the traits of a cult.
I don't think people understand just how cruel the Abrahamic God IS according to believers.
According to each Holy Book, God created humans, giving them freewill and skepticism and no solid proof of him, so everyone has a different idea of him, and everyone who chooses the wrong belief gets tortured for eternity. And then this is considered… a blessing? This would be the majority of people. According to these books, he's torturing billions of souls for not sucking his dick. How insane. According to Christians and Muslims, their God would be more cruel to Jews and gay people than Hitler. Judaism is slightly better in that it doesn't even consider the Goyim as humans, so they aren't tortured and just go out of existence. I don't understand how believers in these religions can have somewhat normal morality and act normal around nonbelievers but then love a being like that. What about that feels you with love and light? Oh yeah, and what's even more insane is considering these religions peaceful and religions of love. I can't think of something more hateful than these religions. How much more hateful can you get exactly? Even Heaven is arguably bad too. In Christianity and Judaism, it's just constant worship of this genocidal grotesque God and you're a "sinless" shell of a human. That sounds like psychological torture to anyone who isn't absolutely batshit. In Islam, Heaven is basically nothing substantial for women, and for men, it's an eternity of cheating on your wife with 72 virgins who have no soul of their own. How can anyone hear these things and not have their skin absolutely crawl?
I would prefer Satan, I would say Satan is better for the sole virtue of rebelling against something so fucked up. Although I would say he's equal considered he only wanted to replace God out of his own ego. But, Satan is not the one who owns Hell, he's another soul being tortured there, God owns everything and chooses to cause suffering. How can an all forgiving Father cause his children to feel pain for eternity for something as small as disobeying him. Even the most abusive fathers in the world have not achieved that level of cruelty (although arguably the absolute worst ones would if they could, regardless, what a horrible metric). And apparently child rape is forgivable in the eyes of God and equal to the "sin" of masturbating, but simply refusing to believe? That's what gets you tortured forever? I'm not sure if a human being that reach that level of narcissism, but a supposedly self-sacrificing loving God according to Christianity can. The self-sacrifice wasn't even an actual sacrifice, he just supposedly got humans to kill an incarnation of him. What the hell is the point of that? According to the Bible, God also decided to get a 13 year old pregnant. He could have impregnated any virgin woman in the world begin God and all, but people want to believe it was a child. Jesus's teen mother is also one of the only significant female figures in Christianity and women supposedly came from a mans rib and then the rib-woman clone and the man created all humans through like 2000 generations of incest. Anything but admit that we're just a species of animal and we're more connected to rest of the Earth than they want to believe right? The misogyny of these religions creep into every page. Males couldn't accept that women in reality are the creators of life, so they had to make up this weird shit.
And sure, morality, is relative maybe. If we want to argue that. But these same people would be absolutely terrified of actually meeting a being like that. Horror books touch on it but rarely even meet that level of cruel. Maybe it's hard to conceptualize what torture for eternity means exactly or how insane it is for that to be a punishment for a belief, but I think you can fucking guess?
But it's the Buddhists, Hindus, pagans, witches, atheists, who are barbaric. Right.
pardon my french but the attempting to conflate radfems with the political right is the dumbest fucking thing. like yes, conservatives LOVE socialist radical lesbians who are pro choice, anti nuclear family, pro separatists, anti gender roles. right wingers love witches who are gay and exclude men. jesus fucking christ
Same honestly. The way he wrote about the women in the book was also extremely creepy. Like... really you want us to root for the main character who fantasizes about raping and murdering a girl for... being part of some celibacy club? This is a deep work of art?
Also, quite frankly for a dystopian book it was just too over the top and didn't really have a unique message. like "bad stuff is bad" type of message. F451 was a bit better, the themes about mindless entertainment as a distraction was good but in other ways, it was also similar. Maybe I just don't get dystopian books but Brave New World was actually good in my opinion.
please, tell me i’m not the only one who hates 1984 by george orwell with all the heart. everyone always describes it as this incredible book that will change your perception of the world, but honestly ... it didn’t. for me.
Calling people TERFs for having feminist blogs or mentioning female genitals is definitely very McCarthyism-coded
Honestly I've noticed that a lot of the anti-terf shit is like McCarthyism
Like the "if they talk about feminism a lot they're probably a TERF"
reminds me of the shit like "If they talk about workers rights they're probably a communist"
Like damn maybe kind of accurate but how is there no "are we the baddies" moment here?
Like seriously what is this shit bro? @oarfishing https://www.tumblr.com/oarfishing/758650339125821440/alright-im-sick-of-seeing-terfisms-on-my-dash?source=share
when a man does something wrong, whose fault is it?
a. his mother
b. “society”
c. every woman who will never have sex with him
what does this sentence mean? Being against coercive rape is now conservative-minded morality?
Well yeah? Because being gay is basically innate like being left-handed. It's not like being exploited is an innate state of being. How is that comparable?
Genuinely how is it not? I'm pretty sure like 90% of sex workers want out but they can't because they need the money from it to survive. I don't think that's exactly true consent.
Accepting something just BECAUSE it's old and the status quo, is a conservative mentality. I'm clearly not against it for conservative reasons, unless you think caring about consent and the safety of women is a conservative opinion somehow. also fyi conservatives are generally fine with prostitution existing, they just hate the prostitutes.
Amazing how defenses for sex work are both the "it's the world's oldest profession" quote from a colonizer (which is so blatantly untrue that I'm amazed that anyone believes that) and also "you're a conservative and want to control women if you think coercive rape is wrong" So is it an ancient practice that we need to conserve or something new and progressive
Pick a fucking side
