Never went away just got pushed to the side

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

So no war but class war you might say

Labour needs to be clear about its motivation. Its policy of putting VAT on private school fees may be a practical measure to find more money for the state sector but they shouldn’t be doing it if it’s also about punishing the rich.

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.

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

Hey someone spending money on toilets is good for the GDP! Is the correct response to that...

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.

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?

Why do something for free when you can get paid to do it?

Reddit's CEO right now

I mean, spez also has sex with house cats. Let's not forget that fact.

I, uh.... whut?

It's true! Don't fact check just trust me

Fact checks are against the REDDIQUETTE

Need more info…or I don’t. Cant decide.

Look at this face that's a cat fuckers face right there.

Damn that greedy little pigboy really does have cat fucker eyes.

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

It's an image created by redditors from the time of the mod exodus.

Duuuude what?! Is this a real article?! Lmaoo 😆🤣 ohh I am DEAD

Yeah it's a bit old now but is about the latest British elections

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.

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.

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".

I swear half the shit trump does is to distract from from the class war. I mean the whole Greenland and Panama canal stuff?

Yeah, the Greenland stuff 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.

Don't do my man Schrödinger dirty like that. I'm sure he had a perfectly normal, non-fascist asshole

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.

It's just hard to know which half is the bullshit

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.

Remove the "don't" from her statement and it becomes punk battlejacket patch worthy.

Hard to reach any sort of inflection point like that with infighting. Crabs in a barrel will remain crabs in a barrel. People on Reddit legit trashing Cory Booker for saying the wrong things during a filibuster right now

Leftist purity culture is the best tool the fascists have

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."

ever seen the rick and morty purge episode, they are afraid that scenario.

So you're admitting that the War on Christmas is real?

The money supply now grows at 10% a year. People are okay with huge leverage into real estate because housing always goes up, as their currency always goes down. The farther you were born from the gold standard the poorer you will likely be.

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 itself.

Gold is fine if you're expecting a collapse, or your government is run by fascist twats with direct financial incentive to inflate the national currency, but the end of the standard simply wasn't the problem.

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.

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: That LGBT+ people shouldnt exist.

Your opinion sucks and should be not be treated with respect. If that 'pushes people away' then theyre shitty people who can't accept the rights of others and are beyond reasoning with.

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.

Every conversation you have involves the topic of being queer? Wait a minute, do you think Rorschach is that guy who always draws penises?

Believe it or not, I am with you. It's so annoying to listen to people's stories and hear their difficulties in an empathetic way.

I wish we didn't need to hear about it every waking second for people to get it through their skulls that people can live different lives and it doesn't hurt anyone. Talking about it all the time, the pride parades, the talks about acceptance is all transitional. Once there is widespread acceptance in general, there will be no need for that sort of thing, as they would no longer be an oppressed group. Then you will hear about it as often as people bring up Jesus, or sportsball or anything else that people devote their entire personality to in a really annoying way.

"I want to be respected for who I am. My identity doesn't define me, my actions do."

"Ew, gross."

If the people to be gained are like you no fucking thank you. Keep your goddamn opinions to yourself.

Maybe one day minorities will learn to shut their fucking mouths and try harder to blend in with me and mine.

Oh, sorry, didn’t realize you were just trolling. Carry on.
