Good to know some people see accessibility as abusive..

This is definitely a you problem. Deal with it, ableist.

He was too busy endorsing Harris..

Why insist on continuing to spend all your focus and resources on participating in a system that is functioning exactly as it was designed to, and expecting different results?

If only we had the state's monopoly on violence on our side like they do, eh..

Here's hoping..

Oh noes!

This community really should cap upvotes at 196 to avoid this from happening in the future lol

Which is excellent.

Just to be clear, I'm not criticising anyone who is reeling and scared right now, or you personally, or even the post itself, I just think it's long past due that we stop wasting our collective energy and power on focusing on and trying to fix the symptoms, instead of their cause, because that's never going to work.

But that's still settling for suffering, which is always to be undertaken by those already most vulnerable and marginalised in society (E: as I mention, even when the "lesser evil" wins, they continue to actively target us).

And this willingness to settle for suffering is partly how we got to this point (it's functionally how the Overton window shifts).

Aim for more.

Demand more for yourself.

This probably won't make anyone feel any better, but here in the UK we got the "lesser evil", and all of the threats that existed before, still exist now. They are going ahead with cutting benefits and making them harder to get, they are continuing their attack on trans people, they are not opposing genocide in any significant way., they continue to favour rich over poor.

The problem isn't who sits at the head of the pyramid, the problem is the pyramid itself, because by definition someone always has to be at the bottom and bear the brunt of those above.

As bad as they are, we must stop focusing on the symptoms, and address the cause - abolish capitalism, abolish the state, abolish hierarchy.

Every single one of them is telling on themselves.

The system is what it does, and what it does is decay in to fascism.

Hey, look, you found a word to describe the situation that isn't a slur, in your attempt to excuse and justify the use of a slur!

Pro tip: work on your internalised and lateral ableism. Or at the very least, don't be that person who gives people a pass on behalf of an entire community, because you personally don't think it affects you or others like you, because there isn't one.

Why the need to defend, and really, hold on to the ability to use ableism? 🤔

Looks like OP could use the reminder that being angry at fascists doesn't make it ok to throw disabled people under the bus because you can't come up with words to describe your feelings, however valid, without slurs.

And the thing is that this post isn't an open question about tastes or attraction, it isn't an invitation for debate, it is a simple indisputable statement of fact, but some people are just too fragile to sit by and let truths that make them uncomfortable exist without getting defensive, they must make it about themselves and let the world know who they would and wouldn't fuck, because that's all other people (though lets be honest, these are 95% likely to be cis straight men making these comments, so women) are to them - objects.

If you’re camping you should have a fire

Not before you get to your destination (and sometimes there, too, if you're really disorganised), nor in the case of the person I was replying to, who just wants some purse hotdogs to eat on the go. So while I agree about the texture, sometimes you just have to make due with a pale hotdog lol

Vegetarian/vegan hotdogs are great for this, since they can last fine without refrigeration for a decent amount of time. When I was a kid my parents would always pack them when we went camping, take a packet out of the freezer on the way out, pop in one of those soft cooler bags, by lunchtime they're thawed and good to go, and if you have any left, they'll still be good for dinner! No cooking should be needed (always double check the packet though), just some condiments, or even a tin of baked beans to make a meal of it.

This.

One of the best ways to confront a bigot is by pretending to be completely naive of their intentions, and getting them to dig their own hole by repeatedly asking them to explain what they mean.
