Culture war is class war! Propagandized rightwingers are just one of the weapons.

Man I sure hate the trans agenda of checks notes wanting a place to pee in public without being harassed?
Seriously fuck all this, trans rights are human rights, and insanely easy to accommodate while hurting absolutely no one.

I can’t remember if this was said to me or if I overheard it. Maybe I’m fabricating the memory entirely, but in any case, I recall a conversation where someone said almost exactly what you did in that last sentence. The reply was of course
“Well someone always gets hurt.”
“What do you mean?”
“It costs someone money to put those bathrooms in.”
Cue the “what the fuck did I just hear” alarms
Soup@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Wait, did they think the bathrooms were special and cost money? Many places just slap a paper “gender neutral” sign on their washrooms and call it a day until a nicer sign can come in. The really good places knew this shit ages ago and already saved themselves the trouble by putting in a shared sink area and having stalls with real doors. As someone who has literally had to fit washrooms into floor plans I can guarantee that if cost and ease were problems then we’d only have gender neutral washrooms.

Hey someone spending money on toilets is good for the GDP! Is the correct response to that…
Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
In many public places, they just designated some of the bathrooms that were already there gender neutral

pee in public
Why don’t you use a restroom like everyone else?

Should’ve gone with “spez fucks Vance’s used couches”
Or “spez sucks musk’s diseased limpy for attention”
Idk I applaud your effort but it lacked some oomf imo

She went to the kind of Uber wealthy private school you get to go to when your grandpa literally discovered the electron. Easy to say when two Nobel prize winners have funded your education and lifestyle.

Me, a liberal: “You need to understand that gender and ethnicity and religious tradition naturally divide us. But we can overcome all that with meritocracy. If we just stack rank everyone, we can skim the cream and anyone who works hard enough can join the professional class.”
Also me, still a liberal: “Yeah, we’re just firing all the women, the non-Europeans, and any out LGBTQ faculty member from the organization because we need to comply with new Anti-DEI rules. No, I don’t see what that has to do with their economic position or social standing in society. Maybe they all should have just worked harder.”

Absolutely nobody is against Christmas. Even people who don’t like Christmas are cool with others celebrating it. Like 90% of people who say “Happy Holidays” celebrate Christmas. But the right wing confuses inclusion of others with an attack on the majority.
eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I mean I’m more against Christmas for the idea you need to buy gifts, and “you gotta be happy, its the one day a year to be happy!”
But I dislike that for every holiday, not because it involves Christ or anyone else.
ganbramor@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
To be fair, there’s are way too many people who freak out if you put your tree up “too soon” or take it down “too late” for their personal taste. These may be the same people who worry about who’s sleeping with who, while none of affects them.

Class War never went away, but they only call it Class War when the poor fight back. Otherwise it is just “business as usual”.

Recently saw that young people in the UK are more concerned with money and work than culture war. So I am glad it’s just the media trying to push bullshit that people don’t actually care about much.

I swear half the shit trump does is to distract from from the class war. I mean the whole Greenland and Panama canal stuff?
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Yeah, the Greenland shit will seem like a distraction all the way up until the day he announces the invasion.
Don’t sleep on that shit, this man does not make jokes.
NielsBohron@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
His handlers are just using it as a distraction from the class war. Trump is too dumb and fried to think with that level of intention.

The money supply now grows at 10% a year. People leverage into real estate because housing always goes up as currency goes down. The farther you were born from the gold standard the poorer you will likely be.
DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 weeks ago
The gold standard ended in America during the Great Depression, and deficit spending with a fiat currency helped end the problems Wall Street’s short sighted greed caused.
Inflationary policy has its problems but the vestigial remains you’re referring to ending in 1970 didn’t mean anything compared to the rise of neoliberalism.
turnip@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
They excluded housing appreciation from the CPI in the late 80s, created 30 year loans, massive bailouts adding to moral hazard; I agree its neoliberalism, deregulating the money supply growth made people over leverage to profit off the cantillon effect, obviously leading to asset bubbles.

Maybe one day alphabet soup people will learn that everyone is entitled to their own opinions?
The constant preaching of “pride” and “acceptance” pushed more people away than it gained.
Freshparsnip@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
When you are actively voting against other people having equal rights, you don’t get to hide behind “difference of opinion”

The opinion OP is referring to: LGBT+ people shouldnt exist.

I’m sorry - what strategy finally got us gay marriage?
Gay marriage is presently legal in the US at a federal level due to a Supreme Court ruling, not a law. It seems inevitable that this will change given the present makeup of the court, similar to abortion.
I am all for LGBTQ rights, but until something is passed by Congress the current situation seems precarious.
GuardYaGrill@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I’m sorry - what strategy finally got us gay marriage?
Yeah, then you guys did it for… how many years afterwards?
it hasn’t even been legal for 10 years.
So… 9ish years of preaching? I’d say around the 5 year mark is when it started to get annoying.
