2023 Political Memes

Why is there a Pushmi-Pullyu in that meme?

Don't forget he is a furry and pees in litterboxes in schools.

Let's never let UA forget he fell for that one.

Like he did for the idea women have abortions for fun, GLBT people are that way to rape little kids, brown people are inherently criminal, women are made to give him sex, doctors are cutting penises because of trans issues and not because of some religious tradition of genital mutilation, and that he more evolved than an animal

would he have an innate sense of his GENDER? Almost always, yes.

But s/he would have no context for it (laying aside it's literally impossible to raise someone from their day of birth with NO human interaction - not yet anyway)

They wouldn't have a sense of gender ROLES and expectations. To be fair, that's not ALL capitalistic manipulation (blue/pink, trucks/dolls etc) but the rest of it is socialization. Your identity means you identify with the social rolls and interactions in the population around you - which if these things - if either - you see as the place where you fit and belong, and that's true even when fitting in on "that side" places some uncomfortable burden on you (for example, you're in a society in which the male is expect to go out and work HARD on the farm from first light until dusk. You don't say "but I'm a girl" to avoid that work, because to do so would be even harder on your spirit. Likewise, maybe your culture says girls don't get educated and they don't allow any man to see their skin until they are married and all that shit - if you live in that culture and you're a trans girl, that's STILL the places that feels "right" for you even if it's burdened with cultural bullshit.

Cis folks can't grasp this? Naturally. They lack a common frame of reference (like how Spock couldn't explain to McCoy what is was like to be dead) - but that doesn't make it false.

Anyway, back to our theoretical person in the room - the identity is there regardless, but there's no context for processing it without the society around them when they step out. The very concept that there's a bimodal distribution of sexes would be alien.

Not strictly a meme but fuck it

Sign #1 that you're a craven grifter that can't be taken seriously on any topic at all.

Supposedly liberal paper, basically a century of choosing to enable and promote fascist and aspiring fascists.

Joe lives on a houseboat.

Ass kicked by the youngest member of Congress

I know we are seeing a huge uprising of the shit from calmer times. but we need to remember we are not at the darkest times. We are at a point where the shit is afraid because it sees their time is ending because we have broken through in america and other industrialized nations. This is why it is darkest before the dawn.

I am not sure if Peter Gabriel coined this particular lyric, but inj his song about Stephen Biko he says "you can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a fire. Once the wind begins to catch, the wind will blow it higher." They cannot stop the ideas anymore. Their anger is the wind that will cause the fire to burn away their old veil faster. We are not hidden anymore. They can try to keep up the lies, but they are getting burned away. Throwing more on the fire now just makes the fire bigger and more bright. We must remember it is fire, and with it will come some destruction, even on our side.

Gabriel also wrote that the washing of the water will take it all away. That was about the river, and water is love.

Don't worry, I'm sure DeSantis will ban it soon enough.
