  • I posted here because it happened on lemmy.ml

    But sadly, considering this is not the first time I’ve had the displeasure of interacting with your run of the mill, power tripping mod from ml, I won’t hold my breath waiting for their assistance I guess.

    It sucks that such a large instance as no accountability though. I’d imagine it must sucks for new users having to learn on their own to be aware of the usual instances

    “I know this post is specifically about how trans people existence has ZERO impact on my life…so how can I still make it about myself? In a way that makes ME be the victim too?”

    That’s what you wrote. Almost a skill how the whole point flew over your head

    Its a rhetorical question

    No, it wasn’t. It wasn’t rhetorical. You were being racist and biased in your question and now trying to hide behind rhetorics. You think you’re the first person with bias I’ve seen who’s trying to “I was joking!” his way out of their bigotry? Lol

    for you to see the flaw in the picture painted by the “meme”

    There is no “flaw” in the comic. It’s showing the VERY REAL difference in treatment among white and black people

    Look at the graphs for single motherhood

    Maybe you should actually read the article before asking me to look only at a specific portion of the whole story. Especially since, at the very beginning, the author herself wrote

    But a growing literature is demonstrating how the impact of single parenthood and family structure on children varies by racial group, including evidence that Black children experience smaller single motherhood “penalties” for some outcomes, like education.

    So, once again, your comment was poorly thought out. The article you yourself shared, was exploring HOW they differ and it even talked about possible socioeconomic reasons for why there are differences. What it didn’t do, is carrying out a census to show if indeed black men are more likely to leave their families.

    And now, please stop trying to wiggle your way out of your bigoted comment. I don’t care about such sad attempts. Bye

    I think it’s both. It probably starts with gender discrimination (as the medical field highly favors men. Look at the differences in how we are taught about heart attacks for men and women for example) but then on top of that, it adds the racial discrimination.

    Black women (and especially queer black women) are among the most discriminated groups sadly



  • Advocates are urging the Biden administration to act quickly

    Why? The Liberals and Democrats as a whole acted as if everything was fine for the past 4 years. They only appointed Jack Smith 2 years after Jan 6.

    They don’t need to act quickly because they are not the ones facing the bulk of consequences. Biden did not and could not care less because his party doesn’t see fascism as the existential threat that it is

    Edit: if you think I’m exaggerating, remember when a few weeks before dropping out, Biden explicitily said that if he lost against Trump, he would’ve been happy with himself because at least he gave it all? Yeah. That’s not the reaction of someone who truly sees fascism as a cancer to society and democracy


  • if there are peaceful solutions to redistributing the wealth

    But that’s the whole point, there aren’t any.

    The whole idea of being able to tax them fairly and properly is merely a pacifier so the people think they have a chance. And while they hope something might change, the rich actually use their power, money and influence to rig the system in a way that ensure they’ll never have to pay their fair share.

    There’s no peaceful solution to the unethical and violent accumulation of wealth
