    I know there are boomrang bigots among the trans community, and they usually do not zigzags as much as her about their opinion and generally support transphobic things as long as it doesn’t affect them (or at least they think so). They have at least a bit of consistency, which i don’t see in the Jenner case.







  • In the right direction? Really? Russia was already an hellhole under Eltsine, who was highly unpopular, until he decide to silence critics by seizing the medias. And it was already dangerous to criticize Putin when he took power in the beginning of the 2000’s. Some people in Russia sparked doubt about what looked like a plot to put Putin in power (terrorist attacks allegedly caused by Chechen), they’ve been assassinated shortly after. And Putin never stopped to consolidate his power, changing the rules to make increasingly harder to overthrow him.








  • There are some reasons why you can have an incomplete picture of maga.

    -If you live in an information bubble where the only thing you see are from bootlickers.

    -If you have been raised by a politically charged family, if not in a -literal or not- cult.

    -If the cognitive dissonance makes you ignore some things unconsciously.

    And among the testimonies on the site, there are people who were supportive to MAGA while being aware of what they are, then did an heel-face turn.

    It’s pretty courageous to change our mind about politics and admit we were wrong or blindfolded. Instead of being stubbornly mad at them, we should support them.
