MechanizedPossum [she/her]

I’m actually quite happy irl. I get super angry on here, but somehow, this is about the only site that gets me in a foul mood without me taking that mood back into real life situations. I wouldn’t be here otherwise, i’m really strict about which content i expose myself to since i’ve learned how much it can fuck with me.

badism- worseism

finally a correct simulation of us bourgeois democracy

Keine Tankies oder Glorifizierung von „sozialistischen“ Diktaturen.

All the mistakes of Weimar era SPD antifascism. The first time as tragedy, the second time as LARP.

Yeah, i feel that. I mean, i lack the experience from a PoC standpoint because i’m painfully alman, but i notice mysogyny and transphobia in leftist circles a lot, although that’s not universally the case. When i talk to younger comrades, they are pretty damn good on the intersectionality thing from my personal experience, but older white cis dudes are often slow on the uptake when it comes to these things.

Feel free to DM me, but i likely won’t be much help when it comes to organizing due to opsec reasons, all the orgs i have contact with are local and i don’t want to disclose where i live. Still glad to help out with general info.

That’s actually what they do. Or they blame the unemployed for being too boorish and uneducated and voting nazi (even though the main target demographic for both historical and contemporary fascists in Germany are petit bourgeoise and class collaborationist workers scared of losing wealth and status).

When you tell capitalists that facism is the most brutal and chauvinist elements of the bourgeoisie trying to uphold capitalism in crisis by open violence, their only suggestion for effective antifascim is

Be grateful the very idea of “Germany” wasn’t razed to the ground and scattered to the wind after your dear leader escorted himself off the premises.

As a German, i’m actually kinda pissed at the allies for missing that historic opportunity.

cinephiles

A more proper term for connoisseurs refined enough to fully appreciate the Œuvre of auteur filmmakers like monsieur Diesél is actually cineáste.

oligatory new type of bottom surgery just dropped comment

pls stop trying to get me back into ironic heterosexuality

Yes, this was most likely deliberate. Since the days of the old sub, this community was a thinly veiled front for the bidet lobby (aka Big Buttwasher), and as we all know, not having poop on your butt is a Maoist thing.

Germans didn’t just try to colonize it, but genocided hundreds of thousands of people there and the best agricultural land is still owned by settlers until this day and demanded as restitutions by the descendents of the genocide survivors, which may or may not be a reason why German think tanks are running anti-postcolonialism psyops.

I haven’t looked at the original poll data, but the article claims that the shift is mostly due to women moving left compared to older generations and men staying politically in the same place as older dudes.

So if gendered media consumption is an issue, there’s either highly effective feminist propaganda that blows Andrew Tate out of the water, or the onslaught of reactionary garbage merely manages to prevent that men make the same leftward move as women. Which would honestly make sense, if you ask me the entire rightwing rabbit hole stuff is ultimately built around capital trying to violently maintain the status quo, especially with issues like climate change threatening the old order of wealth distribution. That kind of stuff is always at the core of outlets like Daily Wire, with the anti-feminist, racist, queerphobic stuff being used to reel people in after they’ve bitten the most surface level “SJWs are ruining your favorite movie franchises” bait.

This means that rightwing agitation aimed at women, such as tradwife discourse or terfism, is particularly concerning, because it attacks the left’s most promising avenue for growth. It also means that we need more “feminism is for everyone” kinds of attacks on patriarchy to expand the leftward shift to young men, explaining to them how toxic masculinity sets them up for a life of drudgery, a failed marriage or a life of inceldom and an early grave in the service of capital. I mean, if you look at manosphere discourse, none of that is making men live happy and fulfilled lives, it means not only that they get stuck in a constant doom loop of having to prove how alpha they are, it also means that a lot of them become permanently undateable to an increasing number of women. Like, seriously, the amount of being fed up with dating men i see among young women is completely off the charts. Granted, all of the young women i know are queer and already involved in leftist spaces, straight women do not have the same freedom in just not dating guys that the bi/pan women i run into enjoy, but feminist climate protest pansexuals seem to be much more representative of where women in general are headed than the Tate crowd, and the data seems to back it up. It honeslty makes sense, too, “You shouldn’t date dudes that do not care about your consent” is a much more believable and easier to follow advice than “pay 5000$ for my online class and you, too, can drive 30 sports cars before you end up in a Romanian jail.”

The article claims that this shift is mostly (although not exclusively) driven by young women moving leftwards. The article also claims this was originally sparked by things like the metoo debate and stances on consent and SA and then has spread to other issues like immigration (the article doesn’t go into economic policies, working conditions etc and how these may differ between young men and young women). The trend is also a lot more pronounced in occupied Korea and in China than in Western countries.

Places like Germany also see some rightward radicalization of men, but not to the same degree as women are moving leftwards. Men’s attitudes mostly remain the same as among dudes over 30 years of age.

Edit: Forgot to add what this means for capitalist social reproduction. The article cites occupied Korea as the main example:

Its marriage rate has plummeted, and birth rate has fallen precipitously, dropping to 0.78 births per woman in 2022, the lowest of any country in the world.

i thought this would trigger the whataboutism bot, kinda disappointed ngl

She did a hecking whataboutismerino!
