It’s a little more nuanced.

Violent resistance tends to swap one regime for another.

Non-violent resistance tends to create more positive social change.

If the only goal is to get rid of Trump, either one can work. If the goal is to have a brighter future then a revolution with minimal violence is preferable.

See, you went off on her without mentioning once that she’s trans.

Donald Trump is a spoiled toddler who rapes children. See, no mention of his race or gender identity.

It’s pretty easy to not stereotype. Complaining that the same folks asking you not to, are the ones online who would, is more of the same.

Because I am asking you not to, and I don’t do that. I’m also a trans white woman with a teenage son. So, please don’t stereotype either one of us.

We shouldn’t stereotype white men. I know a lot of good ones. Some are even trans-masc.

That doesn’t justify stereotyping other people 🤷

Job interviews on psychedelics are fun hey?

I tease. I’m glad someone’s joy of being themselves helped you find freedom to be yourself.

I grew up in a small town. Didn’t get exposed to other trans folks until my late 30s.

Joy is contagious :) And played a large role in my egg cracking. Also took a little help from some fungal friends.

Organizing on discord sounds like a great way to end up on the list.

Not trolling.

But randomly capitalizing words to express your outrage is off-putting. So is pointing at your PhD multiple times when you feel defensive.

Anyway, the answer to your first question answers the rest.

Not everyone agrees that fascism is bad. Yes, it’s what we were supposed to learn in school. But our country has its own history of genocide, racism, and hate. And we largely teach that greed and stepping on others is how to get ahead. I mean, we’re taught the golden rule. But also to be successful even if it means turning a blind eye to the harms you cause.

Our unresolved racial and genocidal karma is also very easy to tap into when folks are scared or feeling stepped on.

Which makes it very easy for a demogague to make the case, you know, maybe fascism isn’t that bad.

Couple this with billion dollar propaganda machines and a lack of critical thinking skills taught in some religions and educational systems, and most folks on the right don’t realize that anti-antifa is logically pro-fascim. And the rest don’t care as long as they get theirs and the right people get hurt.

Let go of my defense mechanisms and cracked my egg on mushrooms.

Imagine getting out of bed and realizing you’re a forty year old trans woman, who absolutely hates her entire wardrobe. And in a world that stigmatizes gender non-conformity.

But my partner was very supportive, and I spent the next few months replacing my wardrobe. Started on HRT. And life got better.

Scary. Still scared. But now I know I can love and be myself. And communication and understanding between my partner and I is much better too.

I didn’t know that, I’ll have to find the interview and listen this morning.

A far right Venezuelan woman.

Peace prize is a joke.

This far right nepo baby doesn’t look like Greta at all.

I think a lot of folks who voted for him actually wanted that.

To own the libs once and for all by crowning a pedo TACO king.

Capitalism vs everyone who isn’t rich.

Happy HRT birthday! Love your name btw :)

Someday we will all be food for microbes and plants.

Edit: I actually find this comforting. It wasn’t sarcasm. Plants and microbes are our greater family. Knowing the molecules in my body will feed them when I’m no longer aware brings me a sense of peace and connection.

In my opinion we lost Vietnam because President Taco dodged the draft…

A friend of mine used to name his infected with viruses

That less than is doing a lot of lifting, at least using the statistics from the Charlie Kirk exchange prior to his death.

It’s 0.08% So, less than a 10th of a percent.

Leaves less than 3% for cis women. And the rest of the pie is cis men.

So, one group is far more likely to be mass shooters.

Not that we should stereotype any gender as violent terrorists, but if we were too. It would be folks like Vance rather than folks like me.
