“Even if we don’t know what the #world should look like, this version of the world can’t be it.
Because it is fundamentally conditioned on the #suffering of the most #vulnerable people among us.”

The persistence of heteronormativity is not only due to the weight of social conventions and norms, but also to material conditions of existence: being in a couple means having more resources. Sophie Lewis asserts that the conditions of heterosexuality are inseparable from economic realities: ‘Most women are too overworked, too exhausted by the demands of capitalism and its culture of compulsory enjoyment to even have the opportunity to learn to love.’
Sophie Lewis wrote ‘Abolish the Family: A Manifesto for Care and Liberation’

“I simply do not see why the nation has to have an official sexuality, especially one that authorizes the norm of a violent gentility; that narrows the field of legitimate political action; that supports the amputation of personal complexity into categories of simple identity; that uses cruel and mundane strategies both to promote shame for non-normative populations and to deny them state, federal, and juridical supports because they are deemed morally incompetent to their own citizenship. This is the heterosexuality I repudiate.”
― Lauren Berlant, in "The Queen of America Goes to Washington City: Essays on Sex and Citizenship"

'What distinguishes Wittig's theoretical, political and literary project, and makes it an unavoidable pole of intellectual attraction today, is its radical anti-essentialism. It's the radical anti-essentialism that Wittig applies to the most credible of beliefs, because of the strength of its naturalization: the idea that men and women are naturally complementary "natural groups".'

We have about 16,000 years of human #history. Most of that time people have been subjected to #authoritarianism, #exploitation and #subjugation.
This is why we have #elites. But do we need them? The answer is an emphatic no, but it's a matter of #organization and #decentralization.
#Montesquieu didn't go far enough. You need to decentralize #power? Decentralize #politics, decentralize #money, decentralize #knowledge.

Eventually, philosophers arrived at the superiority theory of humor, according to which every joke is, at its core, a hostile attack designed to affirm the comic’s dominance and assure the subjugation of its target.

The most common form of #RacialGaslighting that #AsianWomen must endure is that their hyper-sexualized #subjugation is a harmless compliment. High right-swipe rates of #Asian women by men of all races on dating apps are perceived as privilege, when it's #RacialFetishization. #racism & #sexism ; byproducts of violent & #imperialist #WesternHistory.

Margot Déage: "A girl who does not belong to a boy or a man can fall into the category of whore at any time, whatever her clothes or sexual practices."
Margot Déage: "Being in a position to say who’s a whore and who’s a good girl is a power in itself within the girls’ group, a power that is strongly mobilised by certain girls. The ones who can fall, in general, are the hardest on the matter."

Rough contact and impact peak around the age of seven. This is gradually replaced by peer monitoring in the years that follow.
Isabelle Clair: "Adolescence is a very normative age. At middle school, "there's a very tough relationship to what's the right thing to do".
Margot Déage: "Physical violence is much more prevalent in elementary/primary school, then decreases in middle school, and progressively through high school."

Really now, why do people stubbornly adhere to the belief that Government entities require warrants to determine anything about you - like, where you are at this particular moment or the GPS coordinates of your location last Tuesday at 17:42hrs UTC? ... And pretty much anything else you can dream up about yourself: The content of conversations with others, everything you've purchased at anytime, what you are likely to eat for dinner this coming Friday, your medical records; you name it!
All without a warrant, even for local law enforcement.
And why would they bother, when they can just buy it from the #privacy_mining companies that you already gave it to for free?

Shame shame shame on #Mastopub, Dr. Evil, and his evil #mini_me.
Evil is as evil does.
Even Google, at one point, could not proclaim their tagline, "Don't be evil", because it had become evil itself.
Straight from the Wiki, and hot off the press, old news is still news it seems:
https://fediverse.wiki/wiki/The_Great_Wall_of_Mastodon (hint: It's more like a parking bump, but it's still used by juveniles to erase and cancel themselves today).

"Are we okay with living in a society where our comfort comes at the expense of others, atop the subjugated lives of others? The West is faced with this question in a moment of piercing clarity. It has been asked before, but in this dark hour the answer feels different. Masses of people are screaming out their answer, crying out their answer. It may fall on the closed ears and closed-off minds in the hall of power, for now, but we become harder to ignore every day. Gaza becomes harder to ignore every day." —Joshua P. Hill

The First Political Order: How Sex Shapes Governance and National Security Worldwide

@Owl @minds I can't speak toward anything that you haven't mentioned, but as far as those two tactics, I'm perfectly comfortable with the trajectory it sets in motion for those miscreants, and I welcome them to place themselves into a bubble, all alone with themselves.
For a little background, see my earlier post ;) It certainly works for me, with no regrets whatsoever, and truth be told, those EU and California residents disregard their own governments anyway, contrary to what is specified my TOS/AUP.
People don't like to be excluded based on where they live, and will ignore the edicts of their own governments, just so they can belong.

Do things, or people, or events, displease or upset you? Or in truth do you displease and upset yourself with things, people, and events.

A shadow of growing despotism lurks over Turkey’s elections
#Erdogan's sagging popularity ahead of Turkey’s #May 14 #elections attests to many Turks’ #disillusionment with the highly #personalized #autocracy Mr. Erdogan has constructed, built on #repression, the #subjugation of dissenting views and once-independent institutions, and a deepening #contempt for human rights and democratic norms.
Mr. Erdogan’s colossal #mismanagement of Turkey’s economy, one of the world’s 20 biggest, has eroded living standards, decimated the #Turkish lira’s value and sent #inflation soaring.
Little wonder so many Turks are angry; his opponent, a colorless former bureaucrat, leads in the polls.
The elections are also a test of the capacity of democratic elections to throw off the yoke of his increasingly one-man rule in a country of 85 million people.The stakes could hardly be higher, first and foremost for Turks themselves, who might justifiably worry that #authoritarianism would yield to dictatorship if Mr. Erdogan won another term, but also for Washington and its European allies

Why would you do that?
I mean, I remember getting similar requests after posting a pic of a squashed bluejay in the road while commenting on the demise of Twitter, and accordingly, I went back, edited the post, and added the CW for the photo - only because to me it did seem, in review, as being a little over the top.
But here's the rub, if you're honestly comfortable with the post, then why didn't you simply avail yourself of the ample array of tools at your disposal and simply mute those other people?
Chris, you can't live your life through the false sensibilities of others unless you don't place a lot of value upon you being you - they had the opportunity to simply mute you from their streams (or just automatically cw all of your posts) but instead they chose to attempt to shape your freaking conversations by shaming you.
Shame on then for being punk ass whiney little bitches.
You be you my friend, shamelessly and unabashedly so + or pretend to be that which you are not.... but the latter would be a sad commentary.

@fsologureng @onepict @reforestingglens
My 40 acre ranch in the high desert (Mojave desert) was an 🤔 interesting place where water and mineral rights were concerned. Mineral first:
On my property, I had water rights, but not mineral rights. That meant if I prospected and accumulated a few milligrams of gold I could go to prison for s felony. The irony of that was the fact that, being surrounded in three sides by hundreds of square miles of BLM (public) land, I could literally just hop my fence, file a gold claim for a ridiculous pittance (like ten or twenty dollars) with the government, and mine for and keep all the gold I could find.
Now, water was more of a clusterfuck.
I had two wells, and I had piped water from one of the several "water districts" (public utilities operated by locally elected residents of the community with paid staff). One of my wells (the one I installed) was 360' deep (most were less but I was on top of a small mountainous area).The water districts themselves had monthly meetings, which were so contentious that local citizens would regularly come to fisticuffs and batter each other in combat. On a couple of occasions guns were drawn (yes, it really is the wild west out there in those remote areas). Off duty sheriff's deputies were also hired as security guards at a could of the more contentious districts, and if you were stupid enough to run in an election for water board member fully half of everyone in the district would instantly hate you within a month (competely polarized community on water rights issues).
If you were gullible enough to accept nomination to run for a water board, seat you were then literally a public politician and some Water Board members went to prison for not knowing enough about public disclosure in public agencies (or they were corrupt - or both) for violations of something called, "The Brown Act".
Now, because I had my own wells I didn't need to, or shouldn't have had to, concern myself with those shenanigans, but there long arm of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power extended a hundred miles out to where I was and indeed, all the way north a thousand miles to almost the Oregan border...
LADWP wanted to construct humongous transmission lines right across the ridge from my ranch, literally devastating the ecosystem, in a project called "The Green Path" (whenever you hear the word green, run - think of ashes and destruction). We were lucky - we beat those powerful bitches back and they had to reroute their plans to someone else's natural habitat.
This was the first environmental and community disaster proposed that i had to deal with - electric transmission from miles away, through my rural community (none of it for us), all the way to Los Angeles, across federally protected BLM land!
But an initiative to divert water (stolen from Mount Shasta and Mono Lake, Etc., in Northern California by LADWP, and now owned by them, pumping that diverted water into our aquifers stepped up the mountain towards Big Bear (like underground egg crates filled up with water that cascade from the mountains and across the desert for) did directly threaten me and anyone else with wells or those with water rights on their properties...
Basically, had that proposal gone through, they would have claimed that at least some portion of the water pumped from my own wells, on my own property, actually belonged to the local water district - water they purchased from the LADWP.
Bullshit, I say, we beat them back too but the challenge to our sovereignty was relentless. Eventually, by hook or by fucking crook, they would get their revenue for things that were not the theirs water boards being both private and public and quasi general bodies, and ask at the same time (really confusing).
Charge me for my own 💦 water? Ummm, "them's fightin' words" to many folks, and in a rural place like that, could've gotten real ugly. People out there don't like government sniffing around their asses and move there to be left alone.
At the time I sold my property out there the LADWP and local water boards were pushing a compromise - those with existing weeks would be exempt through a grandfather clause, and new wells would be subject to monetary assessments for a certain amount per acre feet of water pumped - with water district's meters placed on those wells to measure their consumption.
What would be the point of having your own well in that scenario?
It would be more economical to just pay for piped water (if available) or trucked in water from the water district to your holding tanks every month. They fucking own you now.
That means at some point (but of course), that every property would be subject to this extortion and embezzlement scheme, as it would creep in over the next few decades.
In the 1920's or so, when Mulholland himself pushed through contracts with as many communities and farmers in Northern California as he could, enabling him to steal water from the Owens Valley for Los Angeles a thousand miles to the south - that didn't go so well, and literally started a war, with bombings and guns and the people pitted against law enforcement agencies completely out of their jurisdictions - like union strike buster bullies...

As we've seen throughout history, you can reign victorious through the strategy of divide and conquer with a little bit of bloodshed from innocents and a lot of fricken' money. You can steal anything you want, subjugate people, lord over them, and eventually find a way to legitimize your criminal conquest.
