Stop Jailing Those Telling The Truth
Why would they? They’ve actively spent the last few years working towards this very goal…

Lmao, “women are perfectly capable of defending fascists too!” 🙄🤦♀️
Like, fuck the patriarchy and all its ills, but don’t mistake this bullshit for feminism or anything that deserves any applause, it’s hardly even bare minimum, and they’re all a bunch of bootlickers, not heroes, whatever gender.
But as I said, I doubt if it will increase the overall hits for Wikipedia or be a last straw for people hesitating to use the site
Why the fuck do you think accessibility is about increasing hits?
Ah, well, if you can’t imagine it, then all those people with visual impairments who haven’t been able to read the content previously simply must not exist! 🙄🤦♀️
That’s irrelevant, I’m not the one who made the list.
Oh wow, finally!
One of their main MO’s is projection and trying to claim victimhood where there is none, it’s part of the playbook…
This one specifically is also an antisemitic dog whistle - capitalists and rulers have, for millennia, substituted themselves in the view of the world they feed the masses for Jewish people, so the media, Hollywood, the music industry, “bankers” (the financial establishment), “the elite”, all those who have power over our society and their mouthpieces, that way they don’t have to work as hard manipulating the plebs’ view of the system - yes, these are all existing systems that serve a small group of very privileged people, but “no, it isn’t us, the uber wealthy, it’s those dirty Jews, go grab your torches!” *stroke mountain of money they’re sat on*
teachers, law enforcement officials, and first responders who have dedicated their lives to strengthening their communities
Don’t let your boot licking reflexes blind you to what is actually being said
so why has the media chosen to ignore Trump falling asleep at the Republican convention?
Because they’re on his side. Seriously, that this needs spelling out at this point is truly fucking depressing…
It would take a fucking miracle to get someone with so much energy and sufficiently known to stand against Trump.
Bhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, oh my gods 🤣 I needed a good laugh, thanks random bootlicker…
I know that COVID isn’t regarded to be a serious disease
Generally by capitalists who want their workforce to keep making them money.
By the millions who actually get it and are left chronically ill (or who don’t survive at all), many who aren’t “reasonably healthy” yet don’t deserve any less consideration - not so much.

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things does the exact opposite of “strengthening their communities”…
trying to do the thing you want
Except he isn’t, at this point all he’s doing is claiming to want to give the poor some crumbs, so that those who haven’t yet, don’t turn on him.
A 5% increase limit is still an increase, he’s not doing you any fucking favours by continuing to allow landlords to gouge you, only a little more conservatively.
If you want to make renting profitable
Why the fuck would anyone other than the leeches that feed off of the rest of society by putting a human right behind a pay wall want that?
You need to free your mind of the worm that is capitalism, an entirely artificial construct designed to keep you down, you’d be able to see a significantly brighter future then…
Why open your eyes to the reality that the system they built for themselves never has and never will serve you, but only the already rich and powerful, and that maybe its time to look outside of it for solutions, when you can be super fucking obtuse???
A lot of replies here ignoring the obvious - patriarchy, religion, and capitalism.
I’ll be honest, if you don’t have an understanding of how deeply these (along with white supremacy, cis heteronormativity, ablesim, classism) impact not only society at large, but our individual choices (or lack thereof), and it sounds like you don’t (E: among other reasons - the existence of feminism doesn’t negate the impacts of the aforementioned systems, if anything, it exists because those systems are still completely pervasive and need fighting against), I can’t really help at this point, there’s just too much to unpack and it’s not work I’m interested in doing for you.
As for your ulterior motives - the first is easy to resolve by opening a search engine and looking it up, the second absolutely makes you sound like a creep, and also provides a perfect demonstration of the kind of external pressure we face that more often than not compels us to cover up - we feel you “appreciating” our “pups” (aka your “male gaze” or simply you objectifying us. And no, trying to pull an “all genders sexualise” doesn’t change the fact that cis men are who predominantly harm women and others afab). And it’s fucking gross.
Maybe you should read my first reply again, this time try and actually listen to the experience of a person explaining to you the pressures they and others like them face from society that you never have, instead of dismissing it because it makes you uncomfortable to confront, and then invest some of your own time actually researching the topic, not of why people wear bras, but of how fundamentally social constructs impact society and all the individuals in it, and maybe you’ll start to get an idea of what the actual answer to your question is.
But I have a feeling you’re not interested in doing any of that, so I’ll just leave you with this - boobs don’t exist for you.

There are plenty of examples of societies past and present, for the vast majority of the time humans existed probably, where breasts are free to exist as they are. The people those breasts are attached to do all manner of work and activities without hinderance, or chafed nipples. Just like those with flat chests do.
The reason that in (especially our western) modern world we are expected to wear bras has to do with puritanism, shame, control, and profiteering from all of the above.
Comfort is categorically not a priority of the billion dollar bra industry, the trillion dollar advertising industry, nor those who demand we wear them to be “respectable”, lest we “excite” their, or their son’s, urges or “distract” them from their important manly duties (and if we don’t, and they attack us, it’d be our fault for not being “modest” enough and “asking for it”).
When we have all been socialised with these demands and expectations for centuries, they become so deeply ingrained, it’s really hard to separate from our own free will, and yet ask any group of people who wear bras what the best part of the day is, and they’ll tell you it’s taking it off.
And to be clear - this isn’t a judgment of anyone who wears a bra, I wear an underwire once in a blue moon which I hate, but am usually in a sports bra because I feel more comfortable with everything held in place (and also have nosy neighbours I’m not that friendly with), it’s about questioning why I feel more comfortable that way, and how much of that is natural vs manufactured by a society that demands I keep everything held in place, hidden (unless they’re “required” to sell something or entertain the mens), and forever impossibly youthful and perky.
Anyway, I’m stoned too and I tend to ramble, so I think I 'll leave it at that for now lol
I’m finding it so bizarre to witness this mass cognitive dissonance where people can make the connection to Hitler’s rise to power, but not to the heroic act so many claim they would perform themselves if they had a time machine…
It’s almost like they need a few million marginalised people to die first, just to be sure…
That’s a really fucked up victim-blamey way to say the police have killed 39 protestors.
