    You’re all making jokes about how obvious this is, however I would argue that it’s still a very important thing to study and an important thing to say.

    So many people pull out the suicide statistics of trans people, and for anyone with a brain, would understand that the rates of suicide are so high is because of the ratio of people who hate them simply for existing. How many times can you be told to fucking kill yourself before you do, huh?

    This study validates that not telling kids to kill themselves, and and having loving parents is the “secret” to bringing down rates of depression and suicide.

    So for everyone with a brain this is pretty god damned obvious, it’s sad that it needs to be said, but it does still need to.

    China has an active genocide, and they have some pretty strong nationalism and propaganda.

    Russia is currently brutally invading another country, and they don’t even get real elections.

    The fact that the US was the only one of the world’s major powers you could list as an example doing atrocious shit that also has a history with propaganda, is telling.



  • Capitalism is too broad of a term to make any type of useful argument. Democratic socialism is still a capitalist way of doing things when it’s miles apart from corporatism. Both still fall under Capitalism umbrella, however one is definitely worse than the other.

    Ultimately, commerce will never cease, resources will always cost, etc. Just update your terminology and you’ll find much more reception to your point.
