Whoops, simple questions expose the instigator account.

I'm being a bit nasty here, it's possible you're just a person being an all-natural incredible asshole, noticed my irony in those questions, and chose to stop engaging.

But if that's the case, why even do such a good job, of taking your feelings out on people, with such a nonsensical, victim-blaming opinion?

And I'd like to stand on that point and specific word: Victim-blaming.

You did the "If she wasn't wearing that she wouldn't be assaulted" thing.

That's why I'm honestly asking what you thought about in this situation.

Girl, I've been looking at your comment history, and the number of times the word "burden" and "parasite" has come up when you've been describing yourself in the last 24 hours, is through the roof.

Girl:

You're just having a mental health episode.

It's ok. You're fine. You're going to be fine. People here care about you.

This voice in your head telling you those deprecating things? It's a liar, and it's wrong. The proof is around you, in the way that people here treat you now, and in the way they've been treating you until now.

It sounds like you're going through some Shit. Do you have a mental health professional you're going to, for psychotherapy? If not, getting one might help a lot.

But at the very least, as much trust as you've got in this random internet stranger, put it all in this sentence:

These feelings will pass. They're just feelings. They're valid to have, don't beat yourself up for having them, and at the same time, they're wrong. Things are going to be fine, the people who care about you will continue to care about you.

Just take care of yourself until they do pass. I know these situations well, I've felt them in my bones. Sometimes, your mind just lies to you. Slowly, you can learn when, and why, but right now, you need care. And you can provide some of it yourself, and you can ask for it from the people around you, like you have been doing these days from all of us, asking for attention and validation, and provably getting it, because you deserve it, according to the actions of all these people who take the time to respond.

Take care, get cozy, and wait it out. Love ๐Ÿฉท

For the record, you're right after all, I was assuming things about Israel (that it's a country with more than one generation of people having lived there lol) that are apparently untrue.

What you said about them all having more than one citizenship, is really interesting and telling of the reality there.

This is the comment of the interaction I realized how that place just isn't a normal country.

Society being roughly the same thing with nationality, is just the truth of other, poorer places. The privilege to "be able to leave", is not universal, and also currently under attack btw, which is why I was wrongly trying to extend grace to such people over there.

Israel is a fake country though, apparently (not snark, I mean it word for word), and I was extending grace to a 100 year-old settler-colonial rich-guy sadism-retreat.

The argument for ai investment is basically a threat:

"give us money so that when everything goes to Shit, upended by our AI General Hyperintelligence, you're on the winning side".

"Very bad" is the literal selling point. The more dangerous and powerful and unstoppable from outside the prompt screen, the more the promise to the investors is delivered.

By the way, as an anarchist seeing the vitriol against tankies, I wanted to ask you your opinion on this vibes-based opinion of mine:

State-vanguardist communists, until they act against the anarchists (see: many historical attacks, where the "communists" in government oppose the anarchists, before being slaughtered themselves by the fascists (I think I heard about that happening in Spain, before Franco's fascistic takeover?), are not necessarily an enemy, since a Leninist socialist state has less hierarchical oppressive power, compared to an authoritarian one.

I know of some of the horrible things, but the way my reasoning tells me it probably works, is that "authoritarian communism" is corruptible, and therefore shouldn't be treated with trust, but I worry there's an amount of red-scare in all that hate.

Seeing this little interaction here, and your long historical explanation comment below, even though it was two days ago, I just wanted to tell you.

I've been in your position before, and wanting to inform clueless people of the opposing ideology, is a good thing to aspire to, and it's good to try in many other cases.

However this specific person you're responding to, is not clueless, and their opinion isn't what it is because of lack of knowledge.

Their comment, was textbook D.A.R.V.O. (Wikipedia link, see if you can track the exact sentences for each step lol), followed by the simplest moral grandstanding.

It's exactly the comment a propaganda bot would make, and, while I don't think this person is an actual bot, the very core of what they're (probably thoughtlessly) writing, is 100% ideologically coherent and pure and intentional:

"If it was not the Israelis, it would be the Arabs."

This means they can strictly, only believe in one of the two following things:

  1. Either "Israelis" and "Arabs" (funny racist equivalence lol) are the same, and it's human nature to genocide without cause, which is why the Israelis have to currently genocide first as self defense to prevent something that hasn't happened, or

  2. "Arabs" "genociding" Israelis would happen with cause (I wonder what that cause would be), and prevention of that "genocide" is morally acceptable and neutral (therefore the causes of that enmity, are not deplorable (read: the current ongoing genocide is not morally deplorable))

This is not a clueless perspective. It is the, textbook, fascist ideological perspective.

One can never "stumble" into this opinion, whether a refined and experienced apologist, or just intuitively picking up the most useful and most defensible-sounding argument, that really represents their opinion, without understanding that opinion.

That's a fascist.

Assuming you're a person, the most descriptive/representative reason to add the description of an image, is as alt Text, for the visually impaired who use screen readers for example.

Your claim that 4chan isn't necessarily fascistic is... Unfortunately ahistorical. 4chan has been so central to neonazi recruiting and propaganda, so many times, that it's not even funny anymore.

Both the origin of the meme, and its real content, are pretty bad.

For one, we're way past the necessary level of complexity for bots to do that, many months now. If any even slightly large corporation wants to, they can easily and cheaply spin up chatbots to do that.

On the other hand, I wouldn't instantly chalk it up to bots, simply because there's many many people, who comment backwards reactionary shit they don't understand, just to feel better themselves. And few things are more satisfying to such people, than dunking on the new-and-alternative thing.

It's a very pleasant thing, to feel content that you've made the right choices, and don't need to change anything.

I mean, I fully agree with what you're saying, as long as this sentence is true:

"Israelites who desire to leave Israel, can do so".

Is it? I come from a poorer country, where "leaving" is something many people want to do, but not so many can. It takes a lot of money and/or financial security to leave your homeland, in our case, and that includes the wealthier part of European countries, moving to the less wealthy ones. Same currency, no passport required, and it's still difficult.

Maybe Israel is different, being a younger, richer, more artificially developed country (mostly non-natives). I have no idea.

I mean it literally, when I say this:

Maybe this specific country(Israel), due to historical and material reasons, functions differently than other countries, and the identity of "Israeli" shouldn't get the same treatment as other national identities.

As a thought, all that sounds to me "too convenient to be true", but boy, do you find me lacking in historical context.

While I fully agree with the opinion behind this, it feels like a bad faith argument for the sake of mocking.

Especially with how it uses the word "create".

I'd say the good faith argument for ~~communism~~ Leninism would be them trying to take over the government, and then corrupt the government's purpose to achieve their own.

Still in my opinion, a bad way to go about it, prone to red cops, but this meme feels dishonest.

Edit: correcting words, comments below are right to distinguish those things.

Ah yeah. Makes extra sense in this community. And it is still currently carrying the harmful meaning, it's not even just origin.

 

Hello Florencia! (I assume you made this community, since you're the mod and poster)

Can I ask, what the idea behind this community is about? More specifically, what you mean by liberalism, because I've got a very anarchist-propagandized brain, and I'm probably thinking of something different than you, when I think that word.

What is the dream of what you're trying to make here?

An essay I stole, and wanted people to read: (margaretkilljoy.substack.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/mtf@lemmy.blahaj.zone
 

A user named Nissa, some hours ago, posted the link to this essay as part of a comment, in this very community.

When I read it, it really fucking resonated with me, and I thought that it really deserved to be its own post in this community.

Nissa (or anyone else), do tell me if you, for any reason, want me to take down this post.

 

 

Hi, I'm not completely not ok, but my headspace is a mess, so I'd like to ask for media recommendations and tips for the panic I'm going through.

I've kinda known I am trans for years, but only in a dissociated, intellectualized sense, while living as a man. And recently I've gotten a tiny extra amount of monetary safety, enough to make me emotionally relax, and the realization of my transness hit me.

I was unable to imagine my self 5 years down there line. I drew a complete blank. My imagination suffocating between dysphoria and denial.

I've been seeing myself only as a girl in dreams for a week, and it has felt wonderful, and when I'm awake I'm paralyzed in dread of the amount of work in front of me, my deeply internalized misogyny about my appearence, my bigoted (though "safe enough") surrounding people...

Question, what have you watched that brought you trans joy? Encouragement to go on towards something worth it.

And, in more mentally panicky matters, what do I do about an incredible amount and thickness of body hair? I know that the very dark coloration of it makes laser an option, I've heard electrolysis is underrated, but those seem like absolutely enormous steps right now. What can be easy, early, discreet steps I can take for some euphoria?
