I wanna watch a movie for Halloween tonight. Anyone with a suggestion?

I don't have too many demands other than no cheap jumpscare or overly gore movies

 

We had municipality elections a few weeks ago and in some municipalities the right wing extremist, neo nazi party Vlaams Belang got very popular, as expected. Until now there was this unwritten rule of not governing with them but some local parties decided to do it this time.

In said municipalities, reps of the party got threatened, intimidaties and what not by people not wanting a neo nazi party to govern.

Libs are falling over themselves saying: I don't like them but threats should never be an option in a democracy!!!! And they are now siding with, again, actual neo Nazis.

Grow. A. Fucking. Spine. For. Once.

 

Their account, complete with 1488 in it, is still active though of course.

Just ranting but Jesus fucking Christ social media is beyond repair

Well, regardless of what you think of their politics, that's a huge loss for a country with the position Iran is in right now. I hope they manage to keep calm and prevent foreign shit starting.

Km or miles? Either way can be intimidating, but I'm sure you're going to make it 💪🏼

Juche maybe but I am a bit offended by the Hoxha claim. We did not ban Winsconscom 438 times to be called Hoxhaists.

Gender is a social construct often upheld by patriarchal societal standards. The being of a man or a woman comes with many societal expectations, and quite a lot of people don't agree with that. Some people go as far as to not even agree with the body they are born with. Non-binary people, for example, don't feel like they can express themselves by being merely 'man' or 'woman' and in fact chose to be none of the two or equally both. Transgender people don't agree with the gender they were born is as it does not coincide with the gender they feel like.

Now, I only want to comment on the gender aspect as I am sure that you, master observer that you are, can acknowledge stuff like intersex people existing, who are born with both sets of genitals for example.

Now, gender as we know it now has evolved in capitalist societies. For thousands of years the human concept of gender has been very different throughout the ages. Non binary people, for example, have been around since the beginning of mankind and have even been acknowledged by historic societies. The concept of 'man' and 'woman' is made up and should be seen as seperate from sex. Hence why some people come to the conclusion that they don't fit in with either gender, and sometimes even that their body doesn't match with who they see themselves as.

You comparing gender identity with someone dying and claiming to see God is a bit weird as it seems to imply that you think gender and gender expression to be somewhat of a delusion. It is not a delusion. It is not the same as someone suffering from, let's say, schizophrenia seeing entities that are not real.

Lastly, what is your society you speak of? Is it Vietnamese? As there are a lot of transgender or genderqueer Vietnamese people. They will have their own struggle against the status quo perceived notion of gender in Vietnam, just like the LGBTQ+ communities have done in the west for example.

I once saw an interesting video made by people in the Shanghai LGBTQ+ scene. I haven't been able to find it since but I hope someone knows which video I mean.

He was sort of anti NATO. At least very critical of sending more aid to Ukraine.
