She can easily bait him into another debate by talking about how small the crowds cheering for him were. I’m sure Grandpa will come running to tell us about his wholesome stories of transgender aliens performing surgeries on American cats and dogs.

No

Exactly. There’s just SO MUCH of variety in protein options for vegans! Add that to the ungodly amount of ways you can cook the ingredients!!!

That a mathematically accurate democracy is impossible is obvious.

That’s not how scientific proofs work. Also, this video delves into which family of voting systems can be the closest to a perfect democracy.

This is a no-brainer, and completely irrelevant.

It is relevant as we should be considering ways to move away from plurality voting, which sucks.

It’s also a strawman, argument, as nobody ever claimed that democracies are mathematically accurate.

Huh? Haven’t you ever seen mathematical proofs in your life? Why should proofs always be about disproving something? What are you talking about here?

I have no idea how this is an attempt at whataboutism lol. This video deals with the mathematical definition of a perfect election (or democracy, however you word it) thing that you are talking about. It’s a well produced explanation of Arrow’s impossibility theorem. That’s it. No one’s saying that we should move away from democracy or whatever lmao.

Oof. Tankies rlly r weird, huh

I think they’re responding to a transphobic comment and not being transphobic themselves. I think they’re addressing a far left, socially conservative conspiracy of saying “trans people r bourgeoisie inventions for culture wars to distract the public from the class war”. This person is saying that this is a far fetched idea.

I’m correct in understanding this, right?

Most cis sportswomen have naturally elevated “masculine” hormones. Trans women see many physical changes (like fat redistribution and changes in muscle n fat mass) after commencing hormone therapy. Therefore, the “advantage” that they have over cis women is negligible. It is in fact comparable to the advantage that some cis women have over other cis women (the hormone thing that I mentioned in my first sentence).

But no, being assholes towards trans people is cool, and there clearly aren’t other issues to worry about. /s

I’ve no idea how stating this is relevant to the conversation

Exactly. Furry art is basically Disney/Pixar talking animals stuff. I don’t think I’ll ever meet someone who finds that creepy.

Replace the word “furry” with “cosplaying”. Is there Ironman-Spiderman porn? Yes. Is cosplaying just about this? No.

Being a furry isn’t always about sexual stuff. It can just be about being cute and silly. For example, you’ll see kids wearing furry ears, tails n stuff like that. U’ll see kids talking about their “fursona” (a description of what their furry alter ego would look like). Being a furry is primarily about art and just doing fun stuff.

Now, about furry porn- an artist is probably going to draw dicks n boobs some time in their life. Humans are generally very sexual creatures. They’re going to introduce sexual stuff in practically anything that they do. That’s furry porn. It’s not because being a furry is about porn- it’s because being a human is about porn.

Perfectly written!

Awww cute

Correct. Although I’m saying that Biden is less awful than his alternative.

“Old man bad. His alternative not worse.”

Are u a secret Republican or something?

THANK YOU. It’s that fkin simple.

Biden = old, senile liberal alright with a little bit of genocide.

Trump = Hitler

I wonder what the right choice is here… /s

But NOOOOO both sides both sides lalalaa can’t hear you both sides lalalaa /s

Did that happen here, or are you projecting that onto others?

If by “here”, u mean lemmy, then yes. They were hexbear ppl.

As for supporting cooperatives, you’d be a Market Socialist, so not a Communist, but not really liberal either.

Socialism is the transitory state to communism. I believe in the communist utopia and I believe that this cooperative kind of market socialism will lead us there.

As for the question of Reform or Revolution, it’s pretty clear by this point that Reform might as well be impossible.

I would disagree there. I would love to explain why, but I’m really tired right now to type much stuff out. Ik it’s a cop out. I’m sorry.

As such, the majority of Socialists are Revolutionary, so you have more fringe views.

Eh… Most socialists where I’m from have such views. MLs are in fact the rarity in my experience offline.

I got called a liberal for wanting to support cooperatives. I got called a liberal for not wanting to participate in an armed socialist revolution.

I’ve largely seen the word “liberal” being used by tankies to dismiss the opinions of all people that they disagree with.
