MUTILATE UNTIL IT’S YOURS
worst subreddit of ever award goes to r/polcompballanarchy I think
in which we have wonderful microcelebrities such as:
u/syndicalistic, a (possibly transfem) left-wing fascist.
u/thascynd, a “reactionary monarcho-tribalist anacap” who wants to return to pre-Colombian society but extremely racist this time
u/vanguard_hippie, an eco-anarchist who also believes in creating a hedonistic ecologist aristocracy
and more!
I want to empathize as a fellow transfem but I REALLY hate Olympic fencing and that overrides everything else. Olympic fencers deserve discrimination I think.
yeah it says our society is based as fuck
this says a lot about our society as a whole
as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine
people who like trains “because they’re good for the environment” or “because they’re more efficient” are lame and cringe.
trains are cool because they’re cool and if you don’t love them at their massive steam train belching hundreds of tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere then you don’t deserve them at their electric high speed rail.
girl…
quick ref for my oc mc'cain
"useless lesbians who won't communicate"
> look inside
> girls scared of being rejected by the one they love
does this remind anyone else of sermon 37
shh, little thing. how long have you been pretending to be human?
stop that. the beast inside you is cooped up and wants out. don’t deny what you are. we both know it even if you don’t want to admit it to yourself yet.
i can tell. i can see how you look at your hands and flex your fingers, and how you walk around on your toes with your legs close together so your hips sway like they would if you had a tail. i know those feelings - the crushing feeling that something just isn’t there. i felt that too once.
stop hiding from it. embrace it. you were made to spit fire and smoke and rip your enemies in half. creatures like us were never meant for office work or traffic jams or taxes. give in to the dragon inside you. let it out.
build a nest. drop to all fours. sharpen your claws. tear apart the knights who come to slay you in your teeth. shed your soft, delicate human skin in exchange for sleek, glossy scales too strong to be sliced by any blade. feel your back split open as your bones move and your folded wing-limbs emerge and breathe for the first time.
unfurl your wings and feel the sun on them.
fly.
temporarily back on my vampire bullshit
he wouldn’t be called “Umaril the Unfeathered” unless everyone else *was* feathered, now would he?…
I kind of wish the Ayleids weren't just elves that used feathers a lot culturally, it would be badass if they were actually feathered. Cyrodiil probably had an ancient race of birdfolk right, and I like the idea that rather than them dying out to the Khajiit early on or simply vanishing, they instead had some interbreeding with the first Ayleids. Elves with feathers, talons, and all that shit would be rad as fuck.
fun fact! china bans ao3. hopefully in a few decades (or years, the us has been admirably self-destructing in recent months) they ban it everywhere else, too :3
“this objectively good thing is bad actually because my favourite empire said so”
???
like genuinely is there any reason to hope ao3 is banned? it’s literally a 100% free archive of millions of creative works. actually the coolest thing ever. tankies are truly insane.
you gotta be soooo much fun at parties
my friends seem to think so :)
lmao at "autocrats not welcome" from the corporate autocrat, what does shoe polish taste like? I'm rather certain you'd know.
you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
R u a rage baiter be honest
no, these are my genuine beliefs. sorry to disappoint. not everyone’s a commie.
how r u a radical but still defend the us? radically centrist?
I prefer radical liberal. And America is the only liberal-democratic Great Power.
also, america is not "mostly good." we have footage of ICE rounding people up off of the streets and kidnapping them. do you..read? do you interact with the world at all? or is it nicer for you to look away and pretend we aren't sending people in droves to guantanamo bay to be horrifically tortured and murdered?
America is a republic. While the actions of the current regime are regrettable, I am confident that in time they will be replaced by a responsible government. Considering the economic disaster that is currently plaguing the nation, I have absolutely no doubt that the Republicans will lose the next election. That is the strength of the democratic system.
red china, as opposed to blue and purple china
generally the colour people use for anti-communism is white. but the KMT’s flag was blue so I’ll accept it.
I say “red China” to distinguish the illegitimate government in Beijing from the Republic on Taiwan. “Red” is quicker to type than “communist” or “mainland”.
👎😞❌️🕷 become a better person
idk what this is in reference to but no thanks I’m good
wow, and here I thought Hannibal was dead. Just goes to show, you learn something new every day.
can’t believe barça is going to the semi finals of the champions league 😭 it’s been so long
tfw you want to be a hot older woman’s housewife but you’re profoundly lazy and disorganized and can’t cook
Incorrect! The HEIC did not operate in the Caribbean.
pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them
I disagree. liberalism has been, on the whole, a positive force.
Let’s look at the achievements of liberals:
- ended the transatlantic slave trade
- drastically reduced the power of the British monarch and Lords in favour of a democratic parliamentary system
- the French Revolution
- spread ideas of liberty and democracy to all of Europe, eventually leading to the decline and fall of the European autocracies
- the Revolutions of 1848
- the creation of Italy and Germany (which I will admit was probably an L in the long run)
- ended slavery in America (yes, the Republicans of Lincoln’s time were liberals)
- beat the Kaiser
- overthrew the Tsar and ended Russian feudalism (yes, that was the liberals. The Soviets only overthrew them later after the Republic was already established)
- liberated Ireland (while the later IRA were socialists, Michael Collins’ IRA was liberal and republican)
- beat the Nazis (the Soviets could not have won without American aid)
- decolonization (it was mostly American pressure that forced the French and British to decolonize, not Soviet.)
- liberated Eastern Europe from the USSR
- liberal democracies were the first states to decriminalize homosexuality and legalize gay marriage
And more that I don’t have time to list here.
I reiterate. No state is perfect. But America’s rivals are cartoonishly evil. The Chinese are committing a genocide as we speak. The Russians are invading a sovereign republic for no other reason than imperial expansion. The United States is practically a saint in comparison.
as trans activists we have GOT to get more comfortable with embracing the idea that we are a threat to the usamerican status quo. no more of this "we're the real america lovers, we make america great" shit. usamerica isn't and should not be made great, because it is a racist imperialist patriarchal state that has caused huge amounts of death and devastation worldwide. all our struggles are interconnected.
we should not be licking the ideological boots of a political system that gives zero shits about any of us, we should be dismantling it and replacing it with something that does. if trans existence is a threat to this country, then GOOD. I'm fucking proud of that. and you should be too.
…yes?
This is what bug haters look like
there has always been one state that is more powerful than the others. there always will be. we are currently living through a period where that state is mostly good and we should be happy about it.

where my fellow liver haters at
Everytime someone treats organs as inherently good or inherently bad I want to throw someone off the cliff. And it makes me even more mad when I see trans people doing it.
“Vagina good and pure . Penis dangerous and evil.” You should be sent to the torture pit.
The current geopolitical rivals of America are Russia and Red China. If America falls, one of them will take its place as global hegemon. I don’t know about you, but I would rather have a liberal-progressive republic as the world leader than a fascist dictatorship.
America is not perfect. No state currently in existence is (except Canada 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 ofc) . But American hegemony is a damn sight better than hegemony of any of its rivals.
