    Stay the hell out of peoples bedrooms you damn Nazis.

    Unfortunately, we have a large and wealthy class of people who believe kicking in your bedroom door and arresting you for the crime of fucking is good public policy. And until those people lose power, they will continue to fund the social and literal murder of the LGBTQ community.

    Complicating things further, we have monetized the process of stigmatizing minority groups. So not only do we have a wealthy upper class that believes in sexual prohibition. We have a profit-seeking industrial system that wants to maximize the amount of money generated through surveilling, assaulting, imprisoning, and publicly castigating members of the underclass. Until that engine of profit-seeking is destroyed, we're going to see poor residents turned against one another in the struggle to access the enormous economic surpluses horded by the upper class.

    The only way for them to lose power is for them to lose their life. But not enough of you Lefties own guns compared to MAGA, and you continue to vote in favor of restricting ownership in most blue/left-leaning states. So it's not going to be well for anyone for the next fifty years.

    not enough of you Lefties own guns

    I think you'd be surprised how many do. But guns aren't magic. I haven't seen anyone clearly articulate what we do with our guns that we have.

    Not the least bit because anyone bold enough to try is kicked off the site.

    No. It is to empower local militias to take land from unincorporated native peoples.

    Absent the legal authority to communicate your grieveness, congregate a movement in opposition, and define your ideological tenants free from persecution, how do you build up a militia with which to resist a tyrannical state?

    Unless you're psychic, there's no way to mobilize a mass movement. The best you can do as a lone gunman is stocastic violence.

    I know you're joking, but all that will do is get you arrested and put in prison, nor fix the underlying issue that fascism keeps coming back due to pacifist dipshits are afraid to deter them with armed protests and violent rhetoric.

    Wake up folks and see how religion is a great way for those in power to control you. Stop giving money to religious groups and religion loses all of its power.

    Religion is a tool used by Fascist. You don't defeat Fascism by pretending one of its tools is the true problem. Religion can just as easily be a tool of anti fascist resistance movements. Removing that tool from leftist movements has been a vital flaw of many revolutions.

    I am not religious. But saying we should abolish religion will just have the "Ms. Rachel" types of Christians with actual real moral compass (her stance on Gaza obviously being one) caught in crossfire.

    There is no working class movement without embracing religion as a tool to form solidarity. Religion is not just all fundamentalist idiots.

    I don't see where they said to abolish religion. It was a call to people to stop giving money to religion. You can be religious without donating a single cent to religion.

    There are a lot of religious groups helping to protect people from ICE right now. Blindly saying to stop giving money to religious groups across the board is either malicious or naive. I assumed naive.

    Why do you think the feds gave the ability for ICE to enter religious buildings that use to be protected?

    Religion is a tool. It's not good or bad in some fundamental way.

    This is a common defense of religion, but it naively (or maliciously) ignores that secular groups help to protect people as well. Unlike religions, secular non profits are required to show how they spend their money, so the help is more direct and you can confirm if they are using the money you donate the way you want instead of some of it going to bigotry.

    If it's a tool it's a bad one. You can't even check if it's working right. It's like a tool you can't check and just hopes it works the way you want it to.

    It's not a defense of religion. I don't know why atheist Andy's have a hard time understanding that THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE RELIGIOUS.

    So, instantly alienating religion and religious groups is just giving away a huge part of the population away to fascist propaganda. Religion can be used as a tool of anti fascist for leftist propaganda too though.

    If you don't understand that then you clearly have never spoken with any leftist from the black communities of the South. Religion is a fundamental unifying part of any movement of solidarity there.

    I literally am a black leftist in GA. I, nor the first person said to alienate nor abolish religion. Op said to stop giving religion money, and I pointed out giving money to religion is better spent giving money to organizations that directly help, and specifically help.

    There are also organizations working towards making communities for black people who aren't religious, such https://blacknonbelievers.org/

    I welcome religious people and churches helping out, and I'm not going to say anyone should reject such help. I am saying, that as a religious or non religious person, directly giving to organizations that help specifically would help much more than giving to a religion. It's similar to say the difference between getting ad revenue and Patreon or other direct donations. The latter is more effective.

    Lastly, I will say there definitely is a critique of religion, in that many either way into a global fund/membership that donates to organizations that have contributed to where we are now, or directly do so themselves. Can I gaurantee every single one does? No, mainly because as I pointed out they have special rules where they can hide where their money goes. Some small unaffiliated churches may be completely clean.

    However, those aren't even the ones you are talking about, since you specified the large populations of religious people in the south. Those standard denominations definitely gave to anti LGBT, anti abortion, and donated to have exceptions in law carved out for themselves, which significantly contributed to GOP effort to stiffle freedoms. That money helped Trump

    The woman who accused then-Fox News host Pete Hegseth of sexual assault in 2017 said that while she did not have a complete recollection of the night in question, she "remembered saying 'no' a lot" and alleged that he prevented her from leaving his hotel room, according to a police report from the Monterey, Calif., police department.

    The student newspaper he ran in college suggested that you can’t rape someone who is unconscious.

    Furthermore, the leadership's will to indoctrinate is demonstrated by such fiascoes as the aforementioned "Reflections on Diversity" and also "Sex on a Saturday Night." The latter, a bemusing yet mandatory orientation program, revolved entirely around whether an instance of sexual intercourse constituted "rape." The actual instance portrayed in the skit was in fact not a clear case of rape – at least not in my home state. (In short, though intercourse was not consented to, there was no duress because the girl drank herself into unconsciousness. Both criteria must be satisfied for rape. Unfortunately, the panelists never cited any legal definition of rape.) Yet the panel – all females in the session I attended – claimed that rape it was. Regardless of technicalities, this esoteric incident was the sole focus of the presentation. The panel ignored the mundane yet profound moral issues surrounding sexuality with which the student is confronted on a daily basis. The administration does the student body a great moral disservice when it implements a program covering the logistics of the one-night-stand, in a very permissive manner, while ignoring the metaphysics.

    He’s been married three times and is a serial adulterer.

    “Pete said he no longer believed in God and family values,” a source with knowledge of the call told Vanity Fair. “He claimed he no longer wanted to seek the limelight. He said, and this quote is as clear as day, ‘I’m a f***** up individual.’”

    I don’t think he’s a secretly gay or bi man. I think he’s the type that’s more worried that men will treat him the way that he thinks women deserve to be treated.

    As long as you clasp your hands in prayer and ask Sky Daddy for forgiveness (which he will grant just because you believe in him) you can do anything. No contrition, no atonement, only profligacy and crimes against Humanity.

    Not (just) "idiot", but evil. The "advantage," besides populist wank, is creating a new law that is enforced extremely selectively when you want to prosecute people for other, unconstitutional reasons. E.g. "We didn't infringe on their free speech, they were imprisoned for engaging in gay sex."

    First, ban gay sex. Tell people how gross it is and how gross gay people are. Then tell people that real men only have sex with women. Make the argument that young women are obviously better than old women. You know what's even better? Really young women. Sometimes they are called girls, or underaged or whatever, but man we have a crazy list where it says who raped had sex with the most really young women. And velieve it or not, it's the smartest, greatest american who ever lived, your president. Wanna be like him?

    These are some of the worst people. It's a mistake to just let them walk around, take on positions of power, and sleep soundly at night. Someone who espouses such horrible beliefs should be banished from polite society, at the very least.

    Completely agree. These people wish harm on gay people, for the sole reason of them being gay? Something that literally doesn't hurt anyone. Then I wish harm on these people. I want them to feel pain, and I want them to suffer.

    When my bf and I first got together, we went out for lunch with his high school best friend and his friend's son, who was a toddler. The friend started to talk shit about gay people, and I said, "Don't say things like that in front of your son. What if he turns out to be gay?" And he said, "If he's gay, I'll kill him and start over." I was like, wtf.
