The irony of posting this in the context of someone who had been effaced specifically because of their sex is overpowering.
- Comment on Erasure 5 days ago:
Can you please explain what about this sounds kind of sexist to you? We are very confused.

If you abuse cattle for a living and fish for a hobby, why should I lift a finger to help. Helping you harms those I love more than it aids you.

Nonsense. Diaspora have communities all over the world without culturally purging themselves for no obvious benefit.
- Comment on Should law enforcement workers form unions? 3 weeks ago:
If it doesn’t have the legal powers of a union, then it’s not a union. It would be impossible to have a military that is unionized in any meaningful sense of the word. Yes, they still have the power of collectivism, and they should still use that power to their common advantage, but that doesn’t make it a union.
- Comment on Should law enforcement workers form unions? 3 weeks ago:
No. It will not help. The problem is not the individuals we hire. It is the job we hire them for. The JOB is not labour. It is violence. The purpose of the police is to maintain the state’s “legitimate monopoly on violence.” The reason every police officer exists in every nation is to do violence against members of a state on behalf of that state’s needs.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_on_violence
Police are not labour and this is well known. So well known that technically, police in North America (and likely other jurisdictions) are not allowed to form unions. If you take a close look at the “police unions” in North America, you will find that they are all actually “police associations.” They don’t enjoy the same rights and powers as an actual union, but they adopt all the trappings so that people don’t realize, and don’t think about the true relationship between citizen, state, and the police.
- Comment on Should law enforcement workers form unions? 3 weeks ago:
That is impossible. If they didn’t do violence to citizens of a state on behalf of the state, then they are not police. They would be something else. A “citizen service league” or something.
- Comment on Trump tariffed Columbia in response to not letting a plane of deported illegals in. 3 weeks ago:
Did Trump not just run an entire campaign with the idea of reducing groceries being a major plank of his campaign? You’re arguing in bad faith.
- Comment on Trump tariffed Columbia in response to not letting a plane of deported illegals in. 3 weeks ago:
because only left wingers consume agricultural products, naturally…
- Comment on Should law enforcement workers form unions? 3 weeks ago:
I think the implicit answer is, “they don’t deserve labour rights because they oppose the people.” Not how I would put things but I think that’s what’s being said.
- Comment on Should law enforcement workers form unions? 3 weeks ago:
Police aren’t labour.

In the 80s and 90s, Gen X were coming in late and the Greatest Generation was firing their our asses. It’s generational because every generation becomes more concerned with punctuality.

So basically you paid money to store someone else’s oven. How long before we are installing vending machines in our kitchens instead of fridge and stove.
