KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

thoughts on youthlib?

Honestly I had basically no idea about this movement but I just looked it up.

It makes some sense, like for rights to education, protecting children from child abuse, etc.

However, I don't see how it's a good idea to get rid of "ageism" towards young people since it's just a fact that children are immature and shouldn't be treated equal to adults.

How about you? (you can just send me another anon message saying "youthlib anon here" or something)

In America, poverty is a death sentence and Donald Trump and the Republican Party are slowly repealing The Affordable Care Act, making healthcare unaffordable once again. We need Medicare For All, and we need it now. No one should die because they can’t afford overpriced, profitized healthcare.

These are some of the people who needlessly died, just because they couldn’t afford healthcare. Unfortunately, as long as conservative politicians control congress, they won’t be the last.

oh lmao I thought, well, hoped it was satire.

I don't know if you've ever actually talked to an MRA or not honestly.

So MRAs are usually the type to say shit like "im pro-equality and that's why im not feminist", aka these poor men you're defending or maybe even you too. They also think the whole world is a matriarchy. Yeah, turns out they don't even think women in Afghanistan are oppressed, and yes I did ask. They don't think women are or were ever oppressed in general either. They are also mostly anti-abortion and even anti-no fault divorce to basically spite women.

On the other hand, feminists, yes even the KAM radfems, don't take mens rights away. Men are just mad if we also have rights, and have ALWAYS been using the same arguments against feminists. The "feminists hate men" thing was definitely popular during 1st wave feminism.

Also, essentially all of the actual polices that they say are sexism against men, are because of traditionalists, yet... it's women, specifically feminists, that are just... driving them to insanity for saying KAM at misogynists on twitter??

But good luck with the coddling these dudes though! I'm sure these men will listen to you!

Alright this is gonna be tough for alot of ya'll to hear but leftist and progressive spaces need to be more welcoming to men especially cis het white men. The more we speak bad about men the more men will go down the alt right pipeline. And obviously that's a bad thing. If we want men to be on our side we should create a space where they can also feel included because if we don't more men will go down the alt right and alpha male pipeline

I hate you and how long it took me to get this

I go to the grocery store, heading straight for the dairy section. Positioning myself in the middle of the milk shelf, I let out one single long, wailing, cheese-curdling scream. Every single carton of fresh dairy product within hearing distance has now been rendered undrinkable. The poor worker whose only task this shift was to keep me out of the store and most importantly away from the dairy at all costs is fired on the spot. I do not linger to bear witness to the grief and destruction I have caused. Knowing that I caused it is enough.

These petty, pointless acts of meaningless evil are the reason that I will not see the kingdom of heaven.

Yet... The most successful capitalist is one of the dumbest and most immature people in the world.

And Einstein supported socialism just saying.

Only the lowest IQs support communism. That's why they insist idiots are just as good as geniuses. They are idiots who believe no one is better than them.

what does this sentence mean? Being against coercive rape is now conservative-minded morality?

Well yeah? Because being gay is basically innate like being left-handed. It's not like being exploited is an innate state of being. How is that comparable?

Genuinely how is it not? I'm pretty sure like 90% of sex workers want out but they can't because they need the money from it to survive. I don't think that's exactly true consent.

Accepting something just BECAUSE it's old and the status quo, is a conservative mentality. I'm clearly not against it for conservative reasons, unless you think caring about consent and the safety of women is a conservative opinion somehow. also fyi conservatives are generally fine with prostitution existing, they just hate the prostitutes.

Amazing how defenses for sex work are both the "it's the world's oldest profession" quote from a colonizer (which is so blatantly untrue that I'm amazed that anyone believes that) and also "you're a conservative and want to control women if you think coercive rape is wrong" So is it an ancient practice that we need to conserve or something new and progressive

Pick a fucking side

In the end, its really just a tool for the ruling class to create artificial demand and has always kind of been like that, especially for larger corporations.

Sadly they were basically never honest, they used to say cigarettes are good for your health.

I’m fine with the original concept of honest advertisement but we hardly ever see that anymore and I’m so disgusted by what its turned into that I feel absolutely no remorse in reporting every single ad as offensive or inappropriate. I actually find them all deeply offensive and inappropriate thank you very much

YES EXACTLY

Also like, genuinely believing in this type of take would literally be like supporting the existence of the confederacy during the Civil War. I mean what do they think secession means exactly lmao

So why exactly can't patriarchy end though? (other than "that's just how it's always been")

lowkey getting tired of self defeatist blackpill attitudes "the patriarchy will never end" Why not? We went from using boats to rockets in like 200 years but you think men will forever have privilege in society? Why do you think that?
