Avanti popolo, a la riscossa!

When you look at the actual questions instead of the deliberately misleading headlines some bellend at the Guardian made up, these numbers could also mean “majority of Europeans doesn’t think Ukraine stands a chance.” If Ukraine should receive support is only asked in the second question, the first one is entirely on whether the amount they are getting can prevent a Russian victory and even in a country as astonishingly stupid on realpolitik as Germany, only 20% of the respondeds are dumb enough to actually believe this.

You laugh, but this hits very close to home when your crush starts a conversation about linux distros for programming her model trains and then you vent about it and your gal pal enters the chat to say that she plans installing a dual boot system and which distro she should use for that and then your ex tells you about that vintage French computer she bought that’s somehow linked to transfem culture deep lore. Like, i’m specifically dating the arts and humanities nerds to avoid this kind of stuff because i understand nothing about it and it still keeps happening.

At the very least it would be educational, a test if the British ruling classes’ reflexive subservience to the hegemon is stronger than their reflexive subservience to the crown.

The situation for my trans siblings in the UK is absolutely dire rn. When the courts and the governments are out to strip them off their rights, they need solidarity, not backstabbing. Reacting to these developments by an internal discussion if transphobia should now be allowed on the instance means the admins have already chosen barbarism.

Why stay federated with them when they seriously need to discuss this? What is there to work out, banning a blatant transphobe takes literally 2 seconds. Fuck these spineless cowards and their shit instance.
