Impermanent posted:the funniest part of this is that the antifa working group passed by a narrow margin and now the side that pushed it through is accusing everyone who tried to get it to fail of being secretly a fascist sympathizer. Given that it's DSA, there's probably a 50 percent chance that they're right, but its still very funny. imo the real funniest part is that probably a non-zero number of the people who did try to get it passed are cops

I'm more amazed that people are giving their pronouns in real life, even if they're cisgendered.

Raskolnikov38 posted:https://twitter.com/Osama_BongLaden/status/1157866307578212352 this is why people need to read theory, so they can understand and react when wreckers attempt to introduce highly individuated Liberal rhetoric into the basic framework of revolutionary aspirations they’re not real civil libertarians or socialists because they don’t understand that destroying those things emanates from actual materialist ideology. it’s much easier to basically continue acting in the same BEB framework as they always have because approaching politics any other way isn’t part of the US political imagination this kinda discourse poisons everything by reducing it to the same crass, atomized, ephemeral scrutinizing of immaterial social constructs, and it is designed to trick people into ignoring the material realities that sustain them Frog Act fucked around with this message at 15:09 on Aug 4, 2019 |

I'm not sure people would have handled DSA voting down an anti-fascist resolution well dsa being so multi-tendency and large means that everyone thinks the purpose of the org is something different. while i think every dsa member should be anti-fascist and supportive of anti-fascist work i just don't see how that kind of grey area stuff is in the realm of what our 501c4 non-profit political org should be engaged in. i think it's probably one of the areas other groups are much better equipped to handle and i can only see it opening up the org to more infiltration/provocateur activity. i guess we'll see what actually gets built on that working group but hopefully they're smart about it.

Not sure how much building you can do when you're only budgeted for 894 dollars. I'm pretty sure I've been to church pot lucks that involved more money.

Trans people make up only 1 in 1000 to 3% of the U.S. population and I think that the better solution is for people to have greater respect and understanding for what isn't normal than to have to accommodate. It's like asking for more representation of something like cystic fibrosis in fiction when the 1 in 3000 margin makes it understandable that it's not represented. Only 1 in 88 people have autism as well and I think that it verges near a point where there are some occupations where a person can't do it without accommodations that are so cumbersome to everybody else that the person shouldn't have that job, such as asking an entire national political convention to not have side-chatter.

yeah not to sound transphobic or whatever but i dont think it's ever going to be normalized to announce your pronouns. i DO think it's normal to correct people but maybe that's because I was briefly pretty feminine looking as a pre teen thanks to my luscious auburn locks

Whatever the case may be, if you're not neurotypical and get sensory overload in crowds then you should accept that you don't belong at any convention.

Lol. I have arches high enough to build a bridge with and I can still hike longer than that (it just really loving sucks and hurts a bunch, but that's what the excedrin is for). Must have worn boots that weren't broken in, I think a lot of people dont realize that you CANNOT use boots until you break them in for more than like house shoes or office work. even a few miles walking will give you major rear end blisters

when he got new boots, my drill sergeant from basic would soak them for an hour in a bucket of water and then do wind-sprints until he was exhausted. it's a good method

since im not a dumbass i just took my MTI's advice and wear two or even three pairs of boot socks. not long socks, boot socks, the kind with extra cushion on the bottom. you will have the worlds sweatiest feet but it stops you from blistering. still hurts more than usual for about a week though. its true that them being wet helps though. i wear some combat boots for my job and i buy the same cheap lovely pair annually just before winter starts for that reason, tromping through puddles and poo poo works like the soak and sprint thing. just takes like two or three days instead of one
