The future is so fucking dumb

Good old fashioned British conspiracy theories, none of this foreign muck - luv me reptilian royal family, 'ate the deep state, simple as

Yep, although I take some slight comfort that the whole “deep state” thing doesn’t seem to have found much of a foothold here (yet?)

I can’t speak for Europe proper (relatively sane Europe), here in the UK I fully expect most of that same kind of behaviour. Probably not to the same extent as the US but it’ll be bad

To be fair, what even is the fucking point of reporting it anymore? We saw what ended up happening with covid, where even otherwise right-minded people started having tantrums about masks and vaccines. The vast majority of people are not going to take precautions with a new pandemic, I half expect the right wingers to start deliberately sneezing in each others faces and asking if we’re triggered by it. We’re screwed if another pandemic happens, and reporting on it won’t even remotely change that, as a species overall we just be too stupid to survive

Holy shit that’s awful!

Probably 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know exactly how it was in Romania though, where a lot of the people back then true believers? Because this in America a sizeable part of the population seem to be

Yeah, but that’s why they do things like getting rid of abortion rights, and why they push conspiracy theories about white people being replaced, and sadly it all seems to be working

I want to go to this thing and ask it what blasphemy is

We need to make FARTs - Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes - stick instead

But it is in a sense all of those things - you are born with a set of genitals that define your sex, as a result your gender identity is also defined at birth based on the social roles that the society you exist in prescribes. There’s arguably a conversation to be had about the entire concept of gender abolition but that’s a hypothetical that we aren’t anywhere near, for the here and now we have genders and people define what that means for themselves

Not really? That depends on the culture one is growing up in. There’s nothing inherently male or female about any clothes, they are defined as male or female based on the society and its gender ideals. At no point did I define things as strictly male or female, and happily enough the lines on what are considered gendered are blurring, the point remains that gender is socially constructed whereas sex isn’t. You aren’t male because you don’t identify as male, someone who was assigned female at birth however could decide that they want to live their lives as a male and identify that way

I typed most of it up and then thought “I should’ve just gone with the tl;dr” but decided I was already committed 😅

Whatever = gender. Like, what else would it be? You are born with a sex - typically male or female - and then society in general decides what that means for you, girls wear dresses and boys don’t, for example. That is essentially gender, the roles we play given the sex we have, but roles aren’t ingrained - a girl isn’t biologically predisposed to wear a dress, she may be biologically predisposed in general to lean towards a female gender identity that includes dresses, and she also might not, and then might also not be predisposed to lean towards that female gender identity at all and instead be transgender.

A quick and dirty tl;dr would be that sex is between your legs and gender is between your ears.

(Disclaimer: I am also a dumbass who isn’t great at putting words down, doesn’t know as much as they think they do, and also hasn’t entirely woken up yet, somebody much more capable in one or more of these areas will likely explain it much better)

The future is Dumb and I Hate It
