-Of course we should fix immigration policy, it's shameful that we make it so difficult to move here, and how we treat refugees is foul. -Yes, everyone who says that Britain should have lower levels of immigration is complicit, saying evil things in a sweet voice is still evil.

Lots of people on here ofc going straight for the race/immigration angle and refusing to call this what it is: male violence against women

right that’s it, no more idpol until you lot learn to behave. if your so-called ‘rejection of identity politics’ has led you to the conclusion that outrage at Romani kids being kidnapped by the state is morally equatable to attempted pogroms… time to take a biiiig step back

im actually a bit put out by how everyone is taking this lovely positive video celebrating something that some of us love and using it as a jumping off point to be incredibly darkly negative. no im not a "masochist" or "romanticising depression" i just like different things to u

“demolish everything” is good though, right? if everything refers to gender norms, then demolish everything is what trans people have always done.

i dont know what an uncrustable is but i assume from the name its a modern foodstuff so representing the banalities of everyday 21st century life in a style we associate with traditional high art, to slightly comic effect (e.g. the glistening drop of jam), is eminently political

i think americans *have* to be incurious about the politics of everyday motives because if they really started to think about what influenced them their tiny heads would explode

Likewise, how "Die Treppe" (stairs) are first-year vocabulary for German learners at school, but "Die Anhängerkupplung" (trailer hitch) is something they might only come across at degree level. Or, is it a Wohnwagen or a Wohnmobil, never mind how you'd translate a chalet...

Je pense la gauche ayant établi l’idée que la mad PRIDE n’était qu’une question d’identité, simple "retournement de stigmate", n’a pas aidé sur cette récup depuis 10 ans. Alors que l’étiquette du "fou" est revendiquée contre l’étiquette du malade mental. x.com/ScottyReddy/st…

imo an issue with mainstreaming drag is that what once was contextualized by a subculture of celebration, acceptance, and parody is now reframed by hegemonic culture, which interprets things (like femininity) in a much different light.

Again, I have actual critiques of this framework, but like with everything pop-feminism and pop-queer theory touches, the original scholarship is more feminist than people pretend it is, and says entirely different things.
