All while pretending that religion, and not the colonial conflict legacy is the root cause of these problems.
The taliban is a bunch of woman abusers because of…colonialism?
See I knew this would be fun, tell me another one

Nevertheless, so far, a higher percentage of eligible Gen Z voters have voted in elections than Millennials, Boomers, and Boomers Lite.
…compared to previous generations at that age.
Youth turnout is still abysmal, it’s just less abysmal than previous generations.
Let’s start with how it’s racist to stop religious fundamentalists from abusing women. This should be fun.
It seemed really obvious to me that he was talking about actual youth, ie Zoomers. But you started throwing a bunch of statistics about millenials.
Millenials are a politically active generation. The fear is that Zoomers are not. That was the point I got from his comment.
None of you dumb fuckers has any idea what “medieval” means.
Millenials are old now. We’re not “the youth”, we’re like mid-30s to early 40s.
Plenty of people willing to go to jail for 20 years to preserve democracy.
I was always jealous of the kids in high school and college who were able to do this. It was 100% down to whose expenses were bankrolled by their parents. Not your fault, but it’s left me a little bitter.
I can’t imagine the kind of shitstain that would kick their kids out as a teenager.
Sounds like you just moved away from a hyper conservative area, or your local hyper conservative area caught up to the rest of the world. 40 years ago bankers were doing lines of cocaine off of strippers tits during their lunch break. The 80s were fucking WILD.
Well, I know kids today aren’t being raised with the same protections I was as a kid. Kids swear more often now, see more violent tv than I did, and see sex more often than I did.
Unless you’re like 80, that’s not true at all. Every generation since gen x has gotten more prudish.
We get it lemmy, there’s a lot of dudes here with long hair. I think we all already knew that, but it’s nice to confirm? Anyway, you can stop now.
Sounds like they’re addicted to materialism. Buying fancy toys to show off.
Hope your circumstances improve.
It’s not just being attracted, it’s being attracted conditional on the person having x characteristic
Wait
So literally every single heterosexual or homosexual person is a “chaser”??
You could even say it is a sign of a “chubby chaser”. Likewise for transness.
Yeah, if you’re deeply stupid. Or, as you suggested, so traumatized by life that you have no understanding of normal human interrepationships. Just because you are open to the idea of having sex with a fat person, that does not make you a chubby chaser. That’s not at all what that means.
In your analogy, the proper response for the fat person would be “that makes me feel bad” and NOT “you are a bad person”. Take some ownership for your feelings. People are allowed to have sexual preferences. That is 100% normal. If it’s triggering for you, then it’s on you to manage your response, not lash out.
Also, people are overly sensitive
Understatement of the year. I think we need to acknowledge that some trans communities can get extremely toxic. Woe unto you if you get caught in their crosshairs for whatever reason. Sure, this may stem from trauma or transphobia/discrimination, but we shouldn’t pretend it’s not a thing.
My pet theory is that trans people are excluded from so many groups that groups of trans people by necessity get very insular. And insular groups tend towards shittiness, almost universally.
Okay, so you’re saying that liberal politicians use the term differently, but they’re wrong, because “the US” doesn’t use the term differently? You’re claiming that everyday Americans say “liberal” and are referring to the economic sense of the word?
Why do you care if the US uses the term “liberal” differently?
Exactly.
