Okay buddy if you want to be purposely obtuse and pretend you don’t understand the difference between attraction and fetishizing, then go ahead. But it would be better for everyone if you left that kind of bullshit on reddit where it belongs.

Cool that’s not what you’re doing though. You’re fetishizing an entire subculture because you think it looks hot.

Bro it’s not hard to just be a decent person.

Bro stop being obtuse. Just have some common decency for fuck sake and Stop fetishizing people.

Yes I agree, but the whole “big toddy goth GF” meme is 100% fetishization

I mean none of the alternative people I know are into being fetishized like that. In fact they absolutely hate it.

Why do dudes that fetishize “”“goth”“” girls all look exactly like you would expect them to.

Let me guess. They’re using the bribes donations are a form of free speech argument?

While I have my strong doubts and nothing will erase the harm of what’s he’s done already, I think we should encourage anyone that says something like this, especially if they are in a position of power. Sincerely hope shes able to make these words reality.

Hey remember when musk did his Nazi salute and they came out in support of him.

Yeah that’s kind of my point, some 40% of people in New York would still rather vote for the rapist because racism against Muslims and socialism fearmongering

Maybe him saying “barely” is hyperbole, but a candidate as good as Mandami only being 9 points ahead of an openly corrupt rapist without official support from a party in New York of all places doesn’t fill me with hope going forward.

Oh there will be an election. But it will be one of those where Trump gets 103% of the vote and anyone that doesn’t vote for him gets a visit from ICE.

I kinda agree, but crucially I think it’s less that the country isn’t ready to vote for a female president, it’s that after Kamala and Hillary, the Dems think the issue is with them being women.

Also the republicans would have no issue voting in a woman if it was one of their own.

And also, Bernie is way too old to be president. I think the most realistic thing would be to put a “”“moderate”“” dem on the ticket to help ease the pearl clutching from corporate Dems you would get by running AOC so someone like Waltz or Newsom.

Well I’m not American so my government hasn’t gone fully fascist yet.

But to answer anyway as part of Just Stop Oil I’ve participated in shutting down LNG depots, crashed a fossil fuel investment fair, shut down shell offices and allegedly some criminal damage to a sea floor survey vessel used by BP. and I’m currently waiting for trial date for supporting Palestine Action.

Okay, sorry. I’m sure holding up your witty sign about how it’s so bad even the introverts are here will totally make the fascist reconsider their ways and free all the people ice has illegally detained

Hope of what?

A peaceful protest isn’t going to do shit. No protest, no matter how big and how widespread is going to make fascists not be fascists.

Anything that isn’t direct action is just an excuse so people can say they “did something” then go back to doing absolutely nothing whike Trump and his cronies do whatever they want to The US and those people can say “well I went to protest, so it’s not my fault, I did something”

Nah, as long as Microsoft dangles their bullshit stats about improved productivity in front of managers and as long as the competition is using AI then the bosses will keep trying to shoehorn it in to their companies that don’t need it.

And then in a couple years lemmy goes the way of reddit and suddenly were flooded with right wing bots and bad actors spamming lemmy with misinformstion and hate and they scream and cry whenever you try to do anything about it.

Leftists deserve our own space on the internet.

Honestly, as much as i dont like the “Hillary and Kamala lost because theyre women!!” Narrative, i think enough people have convinced themselves that its true that the safer bet is just to run AOC as VP and have someone more appealing to your average old white guy democrat as the PoTUS. I think Waltz would be a pretty good pick in that regard, but hell i would take Newsom (or anyone really) at this point.

Unfortunately amongst the unwashed masses of the British public this bill isnt actually particularly unpopular.
