The faster Tumblr dies, the faster the formats where a)

Someone makes a dumb pun (probably about Loki or Dr Who), another poster makes a further pun and the third poster is literally dying

or b)

A poster says something vaguely progressive but uncontroversial, a poster of dubious authenticity self-owns trying to refute it and then a third poster is literally dying

die off and this is a good thing for the greater Internet.
Tumblr was a containment zone. All that’s happened since Tumblr’s demise is that it’s spread to everywhere else.

And everyone who's still there seems pretty cool, actually. I believe the current-Tumblr-users theory on this is 'Tumblr stayed the same level of quality, everywhere else just got worse'.

Personally, I would also raise that at some point... y'know, roughly around the middle of the 2010s... we realized that while we were all laughing at Tumblr's cringeworthy but fairly harmless leftists, the internet idiots on the other side of the political spectrum proved themselves to be legitimately dangerous. We just didn't see it, because they weren't as funny.

mostly people join the army for socioeconomic reasons, and it ain’t the people who can afford an Ivy League law school.

My kid for example, we can’t afford for her to do commercial aircraft engineering at university, so the airforce it is for a few years so she can get her qualifications that way.

I imagine it is more the "proud" thing to be honest.

You can have pride in any number of things, but I don't think being part of an actively oppressive military structure should be one of them. It's just that it's a job, like any other.

Yeah, if anyone says they're "proud to serve" and "protect freedom", rather than "this is my only avenue to education" then they've bought into the imperialist bullshit and can be mocked.

Yeah, they went the "protecting your freedom" route with it, which makes me think there's at least a partially ideological reason for their service.

If you still buy into the idea that the military is for "defending our freedom" then you are the IOSM, sorry.

So…and pardon my ignorance…does transmisogynistic mean thats this person is prejudiced against men who have transitioned to women? The other way around? And if so are they okay with whichever is the opposite?

Yes, this person specifically said she hates trans women in specific. Looking at the callout screencaps, tho, she also said she just never interacts with trans men so 'maybe she'd hate them more'. It's bad all the way down!

There is a non-zero chance that she has never interacted with trans women either

I am actually more surprised that there is a picture and conversation, as I was unaware you could take your phone with you to basic training. Obviously it was not as big of an issue when I was in RTC back in 2003, but I would imagine there would still be strict rules against mobile devices.

Wut? What derail, how is quoting a post a derail? Why is this anything to do with transphobia?

Teenagers who discover new things tend to be a bit over enthusiastic and the people who are mean to them because of it are far more annoying, and I’m sorry you can no longer feel joy, but that’s a you problem not a me problem.

I don't think enthusiasm at the prospect of serving empire and killing foreigners can or should be equated to the enthusiasm of discovering new interests like woodworking or Magic: The Gathering

Yes, but, there are open-class word categories that we add to all the time, like nouns and adjectives, and closed-class words, which we don't tend to add new words to because they're function words--like pronouns. So it is more difficult for people to adjust to using neopronouns than it is to adjust to using new words for computers or whatever. That said: 1) adding neopronouns into your lexicon is not impossible, people just gotta work a little more at practicing it, and 2) they/them has already been used in English for ages to refer to a single person of unknown gender, so it already exists, its function just needs to be tweaked.
