YUS I feel so filthy yet so satisfied, it’s wrong and I’d do it again

Upload gif to catbox.moe and then paste the URL they give you into the post box! But videos (mp4s and others I’m sure) don’t play nice. Only ones without audio (gifs and webps)

Put it in catbox.moe and link to the catbox link? That’s how you have to post gifs but idk how to embed a link and have it show up as a pic

Trans people are at risk right now, states that ban transitioning will kill them. Gay people were at risk years ago but decades of voting for politicians that support peoples’ rights have allowed you to live and be out now. I am glad you have the rights you deserve and will not lose them in a year, but trans people are losing rights they deserve now. Not to mention abortion rights have been lost that are deserved well.

But voting got justices in place to enact rulings that decriminalized sodomy in 2003. Literally it was illegal to be gay in a bunch of states prior to 2003. Just as not voting let Trump install justices that removed abortion access.

Your right to a same-sex marriage (2015 ruling, very recent, only 36/50 states allowed same-sex marriage prior to that ruling and of course after 2003) and even being with someone of the same-sex (2003 ruling) are both Supreme Court rulings that can easily be repealed just as Roe v Wade was. I want everyone’s right to love who they want to be enshrined in the constitution, but until it is same-sex relationships are somewhat vulnerable. Voting and political action are the only way to enable your rights to remain forever. And voting is ez pz you just tick a few boxes for the person that doesn’t want to kill trans people.

You are correct; your life will continue whether or not you vote. But the quality of life is greatly impacted by the will of the people, which is gauged through voting. And the quality of life of other groups (people transitioning) are in danger right now

🤓🤓🤓 But in more seriousness, it is true for the majority - ok some states let independents vote in one party’s primary but they have to request it and it’s harder and I’m not gonna add that addendum to a long ass diatribe

This is classic 196 discourse, especially when fighting against people who downplay various rights (or life in the case of the Palestinians) infringements!

It’s ok to feel overwhelmed - just avoid these types of posts and do not click in!

But apartment 196 never was and never will be apolitical when people are dying and trans lives are being threatened. 196 includes politically advocating for groups that need support to live, in addition to the shitposts

Beefy arm T. rex would destroy me

Naw this is classic 196 shit

Too guilty pleasure, I don’t ever crave them, I don’t like it when I down a pack, but when I start I simply cannot and will not stop, I do not have the will to stop eating them all and I do not know why

If you do not accept my first person account of a deleted post, then you are likely a bad actor byeeee

If you don’t vote, I don’t care, I say donezo on the reg and will say it again. Doesn’t change that Palestinians are dying by the thousands

Giving up is worthless, especially when one evil will ensure everyone in the LGBTQ+ sphere will die at some point in the near future and one won’t. Look inside yourself from an ethical perspective - if you can make some positive change, do it. Especially if it costs you nothing but gets trans people everything

Please stop trying to stir up infighting by stirring up infighting.

The post in question that garnered all of the comments referenced by the 3 following meta-me-mes that were posted here, including this one. The post was about ending the genocide of the Palestinians via urging Biden to use his influence by way of the uncommitted protest vote.

OP made the post in question. OP clearly strongly feels that Biden has the power to end the genocide or at least significantly curtail it and not enable it, which is the correct analysis of the situation.

I interacted with many people who clearly did not understand the US primary system in that post and informed them. But then the clear astroturfing began. OP captured many examples in their screenshots but it is not OP’s job to document all of the Bullshitticus, but I seent it. Additionally keep in mind that “defending genocide” to OP, and many others, can be people saying that the protest vote was wrong because it would weaken Biden in the general because people would also vote uncommitted there, a clearly stupid take. But that take has been manufactured to dampen support for the “uncommitted” primary vote campaign, and thus continue enabling the genocide of the Palestinians. Basically, the need to end the US-funded and enabled genocide surpasses whatever hoops people dream up for why you shouldn’t protest vote, since lots of civilians are dying and have literally no escape.

Essentially, yes OP’s post is factually correct, I am a first person witness, there were many out-of-196 bad actors saying horrible things, OP is not insane or stirring shit, it is good to call for the end of the genocide of the Palestinians, OP is correct that Biden is enabling the genocide, even in the face of pure fascism we must not give up the right to speak out against tyranny elsewhere

The picture is a pinned political statement in 196. 196 is inherently political because leftists (especially LGBTQ+) are forced to be political, often to not be killed. Apartment 196 is not exclusively about shitposting, it’s just that the community that lives in 196 seems to be very good at it

Ah I meant that a “fascist-in-leftist-clothing” is a tankie! (Edit: v big generalization of course)

Thanks for making the me-me!

Holy hell what a shit take this is a leftist apartment that shitposts, the pic is literally a pinned post in this community lol

A now-deleted-post was inundated with that shit hence that post was made. OP screenshotted some of the comments. There were many more, the post was basically a lightning rod of horrible takes and completely misunderstanding the US primary system

lemmy just sporedrive my ass over there

196 stands with Palestine

The entire post containing those comments was nuked in one go, instead of the comments being deleted piece meal

The uncommitted vote is an easy way to tally how many care enough to protest vote. In Michigan, where the messaging beyond the anti-genocide sphere was strongest (this movement has little money), almost 20% of the vote was “uncommitted”. That’s a significant portion of the Democrat base that cares enough to protest vote against genocide! Keep in mind there’s plenty of Democrats who oppose the genocide but wanted to show support for Biden as a whole. Support for ending the genocide is significant, and while the news orgs continually downplay it, for a large amount of voting Democrats it is clearly a priority to end the US-funded-and-supplied genocide of a people who literally cannot escape or be protected in any way.

And do not equate “supporting Israel” with “ending the genocide”. Israel have extensive strike capabilities and defensive capabilities including the Iron Dome, the Palestinians get entire housing units imploded in the blink of an eye. If the US did everything it could to force Israel to stop the genocide now, Israel as a country will continue to exist. If the US does not stop the genocide, the Palestinian people in Gaza will not continue to exist. When Israel attacks the bottom quarter of Gaza that is still standing yet holds almost all of the Palestinian people, the civilian casualties will be enormous since they’ve all been penned in there (hence this is termed a genocide).

You are correct on the general voting topic. All people, regardless of party affiliation, with any critical thinking skills are aware that Biden will be better than fascist Trump (for Gaza “complete the mission” and the US #insurrection) and come general will vote for Biden. I understand some want to “make him sweat” but that must be done in other protest venues as in the general it’s a binary choice between Biden and fascist-who-is-worse-on-literally-everything. So I am confident the vast majority of Democrats who voted uncommitted in the primary as a protest will vote Biden in the general, as any alternative does not make logical sense.
