  • supporting a ceasefire does not at all mean you’re pro-palestine. most EU countries voted for the UN deal months and months before all while supporting israel. plenty of zionists want a conditional deal where israel’s hostages are returned and palestine’s colonial subjugation and apartheid continue, just not as overtly.

    found a poll from this week that 60% of americans support continuing military aid to israel. and you can’t assume the 40% against it are against it on principled grounds, many of them are simply isolationists who don’t want their taxpayer money going to other countries

    i was 13 in 2017 and back then when getting to know each other, we’d ask each other normal things; favorite rapper or artist, favorite sports player, favorite youtuber, etc. ik someone who works with younger teens now and says one half-jokingly asked the group “favorite male model,” and several boys said “chico” and someone went on a bit how his cheekbones, facial harmony, hunter eyes, canthal tilt, whatever are “perfect,” and someone else was arguing his favorite model mogs him.

    these kids deadass make/watch tiktok looksmaxxing edits of male supermodels they admire and/or envy. it’s usually partly ironic and they laugh around when they talk about these things but obviously they still seem to buy into it, seems like boys now are insanely more obsessed and conscious about looks than they used to be, often to the point of dysmorphia. their judgements on face features also feel like just straight up racist phrenology



  • subconsciously liberals almost always seem to avoid language that seems too “forceful,” even when it comes to basic human rights. insisting on any means is authoritarian and something the trumpies do

    they must vote, pray, and compromise (their dignity). when it doesn’t work out, they blame disillusioned non-voters and go into waiting for the next election, where they’ll proudly choose the oligarchs that promise stagnation over regression every 2 years for the rest of their lives and wonder why everything keeps getting worse


  • the existence of mainstream queer rappers is definitely a very new thing. you have openly bisexuals like tyler the creator, frank ocean, and isaiah rashad. lil uzi vert goes by they/them. childish gambino said he was unlabelled and playboi carti is too. and like, half of brockhampton was gay or bi

    ask any young straight guy what his favorite rappers or artists are and there’s a solid chance he’ll mention one of those. especially with frank and tyler who everyone knows like men, it’s pretty cool when i see straight guys everywhere who are practically stans of them and have posters in the dorm

    when i was in high school i had severe anxiety from repressed, untreated ADHD (which sometimes made it hard for me to control my tone of voice) that would make me overthink the fuck out of scenarios like this. my mind would race with how i should enunciate “thanks” the right way and wondering if my voice will seem shaky or nervous, and by the time i was ready it’d be too late lmao



  • legible magyar admixture

    ❌ (googled and that’s hungarian)

    sephardic or romani

    slightly acromegalic

    this is literally just a fucking insult, he’s saying she has a growth disorder and she takes kindly to it?

    African genetics

    ❌ (love how he’s memorized a gajillion european ethnicities and doesn’t know a single african one)

    Cimmerian

    ❓she claims it’s accurate but only says she’s half Dalmatian and half Slovene. maybe 23andme told she was 0.8% iranic?

    Haplogroup I-M438

    ➖ googled and this is literally just a group of meaningless genes most common to be people in the balkans, but very common throughout all of eastern europe (probably why she acted like he got slovene when he didn’t) and not uncommon in western europe and the middle east

    Dalmatian (Croatian)

    ✅ wow a single one!

    not like ethnic DNA tests aren’t pseudoscience that look for meaningless mutations (genetic noise that doesn’t mark anything nor manifest in any way) likely most common to a politically defined historic region yet never remotely matching it, often extending deep into neighboring areas and further. crazy how random genes don’t confine themselves to manmade culture zones 🤷‍♂️

    not like ethnicities aren’t constantly shifting, vaguely defined, socio-cultural lumping of clines together in one of the most genetically similar species to exist (that just happens to have a diverse spectrum of phenotypes)








  • she was also actively against the marijuana legalization referendum in 2010, while pretty much every semi progressive california politician supported it. the public vote was very tight and failed by about 2%, and we all know these referendums are swayed by advertising money, paid for by people that an office like her’s would empower

    marijuana in california was legalized in 2016, by this time she still didn’t come out in support! she didn’t even support decriminalization until 2017 (and decriminalizing means cops can still seize it, fine you for it, and refer you to community service; you just won’t be arrested unless you’re growing or selling). she didn’t support actual legalization until 2019 conveniently before her bid for president, by the time two-thirds of americans already supported it


  • you may hear liberals and even some MSM fact checkers claiming “only 45 people received prison time,” omitting the fact thousands were convicted and sentenced to time in local/county jail. the vast majority of marijuana offenders have long been jailed, not imprisoned, which is usually reserved for higher level offenses. 45 going to state prison for weed is pretty disgraceful on its own

    when harris was SF AG, 24% of arrests led to convictions, compared to 18% of her predecessor. so she advanced the same draconian policies of ruining innocent people’s records and opportunities.

    we also have data showing, for decades pre-legalization, black californians were over 3x more likely to be arrested for marijuana use than white californians, despite the fact black people are slightly less likely to be users
