This is what always happens with terfs. They hate women. Nobody hates women more than terfs. Women who are different than them in any way. Women who don’t fit their extremely narrow definition of what a woman should be. What a woman should look like. What a woman should think.
Terfs hate women.
- Comment on How much would it cost the next president/tax payers to tear down the ball room and restore it back to normal? How long would it take? And fixing the rose garden? 4 days ago:
I mean tearing it down just sounds a waste of taxpayer money. Although admittedly considering the shoddy job they’re almost certainly doing we might have to tear it down for safety purposes.
- Comment on Would mechs make effective tools or weapons assuming the engineering and physics worked out, or are limbed piloted vehicles really just a rule of cool thing? 5 days ago:
I cannot answer this question objectively. Mechanics are too fucking cool and I want to see them too much.

Suggesting that nobody cares when a man is put to death is a wild suggestion. So increadibly and maliciously ignorant that I’m stunned.

It was a pretty brutal and heinous murder.

How unfortunate for you.

Yes privilege often comes through effort. Although never effort alone. Surely you can see that had things gone differently in your life, had a few unlucky brakes happened, that you would not enjoy this privilege you brag about. That judging someone for not having what you’ve obtained is foolhardy. And assuming everyone has the same resources is beyond ignorant.

How privileged you are.

Wildly optimistic
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 1 month ago:
How do you determine if they’re educated? How do you determine if they’re informed? Who decides? How would you even go about enforcing the fact that they spend their time researching? Instead of campaigning or getting donations or just fucking around?
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 1 month ago:
No I don’t think that tracks, I’d say it’s kind of a modern interpretation really. Historically it’s a a darker seedier reasoning really. Traditionally representative government has been favored because the wealthy delete didn’t think the people could be trusted. Unwashed uneducated masses couldn’t be allowed to make decisions. The liberal bourgeoisie in no way wanted the people making any decisions. There’s a reason most liberal revolutions did not result in widespread suffrage, much less universal suffrage.
After all it’s not like Representatives had extra time to do research. When they weren’t traveling by horse or mule they were conducting their own affairs, not researching well into the night. No it’s much more about class than actual dedication.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 months ago:
That isn’t quite accurate. Congress hasn’t gotten a pay raise since 2009. Because they vote against giving themselves one.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 months ago:
Who decides what a random person is and what a knowledgeable person is in your scenario though? Where are these knowledgeable people? Our current Speaker of the House every time he gets in front of a TV Camera claims he knows nothing at all whatsoever. He’s never heard anything he’s never read anything he’s never seen anything and he just doesn’t know about anything. So knowledgeable people aren’t in charge now.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 months ago:
Maybe not everything, but we could certainly vote on a lot more directly. There’s no reason we couldn’t. Representative government was a necessity when we only used horses to get everywhere. Now much less reason for it.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 months ago:
Sortition. It’s a system that sounded crazy decades ago when I first heard it, but the more and more you think about it the more and more it doesn’t seem that bad.

OP has no idea what health insurance cost these days.
- Comment on Min wage in most states is so sad 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t say it’s so that they can’t be bought, so much as so they don’t have to be bought. It’s part of the reason they haven’t voted for a pay raise and so long. Their owners don’t want them to have other options.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 2 months ago:
I wish my bills were that low.
- Comment on People are sitting on the bike lane or parking on it. Saint Denis, France 2 months ago:
Complete opposite here. I understand the parking, that’s just standard asshole Behavior. That I get. I’m used to it. The sitting is just fucking bizarre. Why? Just why? They brought a chair for fucks sake. Out into the street. They passed the wide open sidewalk while carrying their chair. It makes no sense.
- Comment on Why do women in golf wear those short/skirt things while the men wear pants? 2 months ago:
Cause they won’t let the men wear skirts too the sexists.
