It's also a plainly bullshit way to advance social progress.
By all rights economic development and higher education are the keys, and those come through effective public policy and fair trade deals, yet they claim progress can come at the barrel of a gun. We saw in Afghanistan and Libya how horribly that backfired. Doesn't help that the US/Europe have continuously murdered all the liberal/secular leaders in the Middle East in favor of religious fundamentalists. Like how can you be close allies with Saudi Arabia and give them a bunch of money and weapons and then claim to care about gay rights lol.

Gender segregated, communal living with fit young men with strict bottom/top hierarchy would be heaven for a gay would it not? It's like how pedophiles tend to get jobs that deal with children, like teachers, coaching, daycare and priesthood etc.

>>8443
Not for verse guys who would be forced into topping

I don't think most gay people would enjoy the frat environment and fear of being bashed. Also I was discussing the military-industrial complex, not the military.

I was reading a twitter thread about you know who, and personally one reply gave me a lot of insight.
Let me pref reface, this isn't a huge trend but A EXPLANATION

Marginalized communities feel cheated from life and will work harder to close that gap or build community, sometimes, these people will take roles aiding in the empire or supporting the "lesser evil" in their mind because they feel the world order of imperialists have more voter power to "close the gap"

Neo-liberalism is attractive because people don't understand world revolution or care about south exploitation, they care about the fact it will "close the gap"

>>8409
>Is the gay people in the military-industrial complex stuff a meme or real?
real? they exist year why wouldnt it be? or are you implying they are over represented or something? qeustion unclrear.

>>8439
nah, it's almost always tankies who call the ghey a "bourgeois decadence"

>>8439
Damn I'm in the US. I do have Swedish ancestry on both sides, would they let me move there?

>>8446
I am swedish, pretty sure they would let you stay if you marry a swede

>>8446
Can't you stay in your burger containment zone? Why do you have to go out and corrupt the rest of the world

>>8447
Hmm…

What if I'm trying to escape the American Century of Humiliation?

Your self-loathing will cannibalize you.

>>8416
You look like a woman. Your fashion sense or interests do not affect your passability in the slightest, everybody who looks at you is going to see a woman no matter what.

>>8416 Hey, I actually really appreciated how honest and self-reflective your post was. A lot of people just vent about that 'terminally online femboy-trans' stereotype without owning any of their own tastes, but you laid out your actual hobbies pretty clearly.
From what you described — gardening, reading theory, writing, Sailor Moon as a kid, and dropping video games years ago — you honestly don't sound like you fit that hyper online, thigh-highs + sci-fi shirt + constant hornyposting archetype at all. You seem more grounded and introspective than the Discord/twitter noise you were describing.
I agree with you that clothing choices and oversharing the hypersexual stuff do a lot of damage to how people perceive the broader group. 'Passing' (socially, at least) is heavily influenced by just blending in like a normal woman instead of leaning into the obvious male-brained nerd/fetish aesthetic.
Curious though — what kind of theory do you like reading these days? And what sort of writing do you do? Philosophy/politics stuff, fiction, essays?mind if we continue on Discord? Disc is Maxilosaurus

Is being into metal and punk considered male brained?

>>8424
dont give a fuck about what gender should be doing what, its a mind opp promoted by liberals who need in groups and out groups.

just do what feels right and looks fun, let the haters sniff your farts as you breeze past.

hello i think this site is cool.

The main characteristic of capitalism is that all production is geared towards commodity production and the existence of a monarchy doesn't change that. Have you even read Capital volume 3?

>>8311
They're just lavender compradors, not really different from pink, Black, Red and Brown compradors.

There needs to be a different word for imperialist countries like "co-semi-feudalism" or "co-colonialism". It's true that these countries create and perpetuate regressive structures but the material base is in the colonies and so on.>>8312

My definition in no way disqualifies Pinochet, who deregulated and privatised many sectors and while he often sold state assets to allies, on the whole he exposed the economy to more market discipline than before. This is not true of Thatcher, Major or Blair, who preferred state-direction role-playing as the market.

The key point that I have tried to emphasize is that the UK is NOT acting in a way that helps the accumulation or flow of capital, that this is a result of its own anomalous social structure, and that if Britain were run in such a way it would be less reactionary than it is now.

>>8389
Let's try this: insofar as the UK is oriented towards commodity production, and insofar as services are taken to be a commodity, a disproportionate share of commodity production in britain is effectively produced for the state, to state specifications, not for a market. This is papered over with role-playing.

bad words are a stupid concept, you just dont say some of them because the level of extreme exclusion youll receive isn't worth it.

uyghur isnt a big deal and faggot definitely isnt.

>>8374
brilliant! :-DDDDDDD

>>8376
They're only a stupid concept if you're autistic.
Shibboleths are a useful social tool. There may be nothing inherently wrong with the word, but "the people who say this are generally dickheads so don't say it if you don't want to be mistaken for a dickhead" is very sound logic.

A nazi uniform is just fabric, but wear one off a film set or historical LARP and don't be surprised when people think you're a wrongun.

Honestly I don't really understand how faggot or transhumanist could actually ever be offensive. If someone is trying to use those to hurt you they are an enemy anyway and you shouldn't be listening to them. What really hurts is being clocked in public.

Like how being a housewife is inherently gender euphoric for transwomen

only gringos, nuestro general Amelio Robles was a revolutionary who would put in his place anyone who dared misgender him.

>>8350
Why did he keep "Amelia"?

>>8335
Fake, where is snopes?
saged.

>>8352

he didn't, he changed it to "Amelio", the image palette distracted me, didn't realize late it says that

You don't even have to tell anyone.

You aint getting any younger…
Repping kills the soul

get shit here: diyhrt.market

i'll try to keep this short, feel free to ask questions if this is missing something.

get injections, ideally estradiol enanthate: you just inject 5mg like one a week, then you no longer have to worry about it.
a vial lasts a while and is pretty cheap.
you can buy syringes, alcohol wipes and cute dinosaur bandages online.

you can also get spray with a high concentration from homebrewers, but you'll have to use it at least twice a day and you'll use it up pretty quickly.
put it on your balls.
if you're scared of needles and that makes you not get hrt, then at least get spray. it's also really easy to homebrew and you won't have to worry about it being sterile, so if you can get a hold of the raw powder you can always do that or store it somewhere if you're afraid of losing access.

ignore stupid guidelines saying you need your e2 blood levels below a certain threshold. you need a higher dose than whatever some random cissoids decided for absolutely no reason bc you'll want it to stop testosterone production. there are no actual downsides to a higher dose. you can technically od but i don't know how you'd even go about doing that (injecting the whole vial at once?)

pills are trash. won't get your levels high enough to block testosterone, so you'll need another medication with side effects. like spray, you'll also have to take them multiple times a day and they're expensive as fuck.

DIY HRT + boymode

Is that the Linux fox?

before i knew HRT was an option i daydreamed about all the expensive "sex change" surgeries
the only reason i pursued a career was being able to afford these as my dysphoria made me more and more doomer about any future in my assigned gender

This sounds like cope, like you've convinced yourself that you'd be 100% "normal" if it hadn't been for your wealth bracket, when there's several well off trans people, such as at least 5 of Elon Musk's kids, or the many trans people that do have families to support.

Also trans people were just as abundant in whatever before-times you're idolizing, just less well documented.

>>8297
Yeah nah. transhumanists have been around forever but the technology has just gotten better and they are less persecuted so they are more visible these days it seems
