"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.
Key secessionists have been planning this since 1865. The myth of the lost cause has been allowed to propagate in the South mostly unchecked, and backed by old money.
This was always their playbook:
If you can't win, change the rules. If you still can't win, ignore them.
I just can’t with calling these horrible humans “kids.”
Ever notice when it’s a Black 18-year-old male, he’s a “man,” but when it’s a white 27-year-old male, he’s a “kid.”
"anti-patriotic gun-owning veteran psychedelic-taking small-business owner" is actually an extremely common Maine Type and it won't hurt Platner unless he lets it

having returned to the workplace and being around the general public recently has shown me that there are a vast number of people who are completely unaware of the problems with using generative AI, or even the fact that there are problems with it
All the edgy sneering about "representation" was a way to ironize and therefore obscure the complaint that someone not white was being hired to do a job.
If every incel somehow got a girlfriend, the net violence in the world would only go up. Because guys who think like that are violent and abusive to their girlfriends.
It's not their singleness that's dangerous, it's the way they think about women and will treat them.
There are two types of people on this. Those that believed these you g republicans when they told you they were "trolling" 8 years ago, and those who didn't believe they were trolling.
