@elenachamorro5.bsky.social euh je m'excuse mais ça me semble étrange de voir ça dans vos posts/blousques, il y aurait pas un problème? Le reste de ce que je vois sur votre compte me semble coherent/plausible, mais ces contenus c'est clairement pas normal...

It's actually fantastic that women are increasingly refusing to submit to male supremacy and the everyday tyranny and terror it is built on. There are very few things that give me hope but the fact women are pushing back hard against men's domination and mediocrity is the main one.

It reads:

Y'en a marre, enfin, que les personnes trans, nonbinaires, queers, lesbiennes, asexuelles et autres, soient sacrifiées à l'autel du culte cishétéropatriarcal, leurs envies et rêves détruits et leurs existences réduites à une survie toujours précaire.

Al Raven@alraven· Jun 26

Y'en a marre que les femmes hétéro (et bi) soient arrivées - empiriquement, de manière parfaitement réaliste - à un stade extrême de pessimisme concernant les relations avec nous. Que le meilleur qu'elles espèrent c'est qu'on ne leur fasse pas de mal et qu'on ait à peine 50% des capacités émotionnelles et pratiques qu'elles et leurs amies ont depuis très longtemps.

Al Raven@alraven· Jun 26

Y'en a marre de cette injonction (salut les mecs de gôche) que le féminisme doive accomoder voire "sauver" les hommes, alors que c'est précisément notre disempowerment qui en est la clé.

Al Raven@alraven· Jun 26

Y'en a marre que notre confort quotidien se base sur l'exploitation constante des femmes, et qu'on prétende ne pas être capables de prendre soin de nous-mêmes et des autres (encore une fois l'ignorance stratégique; quand on ne sait pas qch, on peut l'apprendre).

Al Raven@alraven· Jun 26

Y'en a marre que le respect de leur autonomie et la bienveillance ne soient pas le point de départ de nos interactions avec les femmes et filles de tous âges. Et que le consentement ne soit pas le point de départ de toute relation avec une autre personne adulte.

Al Raven@alraven· Jun 26

Y'en a marre qu'on cherche sans cesse à sauver et renouveler la masculinité (cispatriarcale) plutôt que de réaliser que son fondement même est la domination sur et la différence/supériorité présupposée par rapport aux "non-hommes". Et que par conséquent, c'est seulement en abandonnant l'idée d'une différence fondamentale entre nous et les "non-hommes" - et donc la masculinité en tant que telle - qu'on pourrait, peut être, (re)devenir des humains dignes de ce nom.

Al Raven@alraven· Jun 26

Y'en a marre d'un système qui dévalorise systématiquement les points de vue, les vécus, les idées, les envies, les subjectivités, les ressentis et les sentiments de la majorité de la société qui n'a pas la chance d'être un homme adulte cis.

Y'en a marre que cette majorité dominée (sur)vive dans un régime de terreur constant, où iels ont peur chaque jour de faire face à notre violence et notre domination.

Al Raven@alraven· Jun 26

Y'en a marre qu'entre mecs on ne parle jamais du fait que c'est nous qui commettons l'énorme majorité des violences interpersonnelles (non seulement contre les femmes et enfants, mais entre hommes aussi); sans même parler de faire quelque chose contre (qui n'en remette pas une couche, je veux dire). Qu'on tolère activement ou passivement des choses atroces faites par les autres mecs. Qu'on préfère être loyal à un pote, à un frère, à un père, à un collègue, que de soutenir (ou même juste écouter et respecter) celleux qui ont subi leur(s) violence(s). Qu'on soit si incapables (que dis-je, qu'on refuse par complicité et/ou lâcheté!) de faire attention à ce qui se passe devant nos yeux et de ne pas laisser faire sans réagir. Que la parole d'un homme, même inconnu, nous convainc toujours plus que celle d'une femme ou d'un(e) enfant.

Can we talk about the inherent problems of legalistic understandings of consent, adulthood, grooming?

creepy but she was consenting months away
from 18 who'd be legal in half the states in
this country & they had a relationship and
stayed together for like 4 years
Equating that to being a 12 year old captive on

your family is braindead black and whiteism

@williamcson.bsky.social's text on Black Zionism in @thefunambulist.bsky.social is so, so, so good! 🔥🔥 I recommend checking it out, I strongly related to the frustration about people still hanging on to the (nation-)state as a path to/tool for liberation!

People the world over have been led astray trying
to engage in the rationale of nations and states
in order to try to fit into frameworks that don't
serve the colonized and enslaved. The examples
are endless, but it is essential to understand that
we're still directly negotiating with the violence of
the colonial state form, whether through inclusion,
reform, or the seizure of this class instrument
designed to control populations (not free them).
We do not seize the state; the state seizes us.
Furthermore, it changes us by reshaping our
struggles into a format that monopolizes violence
and capitalizes on behalf of a ruling elite or Party.
To think it does anything different at a point in
time when a few people control the majority of the
world's wealth is nearly a fantasy.

Hey so this BeijingPalmer person is shitty twat, huh?

BeijingPalmer:
I don't think the moderation team is
transphobic: I think an unusually high number of
early adopters of Bluesky were trans and, as is
common with early adopters, feel themselves to
be somehow entitled to special treatment or to
get to run the site, and so moderation tends to
fall on them,
Some trans people are extremely annoying
and/or aggressively nasty online. This is
not because they are trans, it's because
they're people. But it also doesn't mean that
moderating them is transphobia

I do think it's crucial for us to acknowledge our own pessimism, depression, desire to give up dreaming and struggling, and to take care of ourselves and each other concerning this overwhelming sense of despair - darkness - hopelessness. But dreaming beyond that is ultimately even more important!

Lknow. It's all wrong, By rights we shouldn't even be here. But
we are. It's lke in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that
really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And
sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could
the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it
was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a
passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day
will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant
something, even if you were too small to understand why. ButI
think.Mr.Frodo. I do understand. I know now. Folk in those
stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't.
"They kept going Because they were holding on to something.

Attention: n'ouvre surtout pas celui-là!!!

The Underworld podcast:
Underworld exposes the secret world of transnational
criminal networks that have flourished since there were
banks to bust, drugs to smuggle, and scams to run
Jouralists Dany Gold and Sean Willamns bring their
experience reporting on dangerous people and
organizations to take listeners on a global tour of
mobsters, warlords and crooks - from Brooklyn to
Beijing, from the streets to the boardrooms - and
everywhere in between. Underworld is a show about
heroes, villains, and the barely visible mafias that affect
all our lives, whether we know it or not

Huge shocker: Graham Platner apologist turns out to be transmisogynist as well

Guy who calls himself "seriousness" online (seriously!) posted "Going from Biden to Trump is a MTF transition". Oh, and he's a Graham "I had a nazi tattoo for decades" Platner defender

As pointed out by @fireantprincess.bsky.social anyone who reads this and thinks "sounds good, I'll sign it" is full of shit... Then again a few weeks ago Vijay Prashad (who's in this list) used AI to deny the Uyghur genocide. With leftists like these...

Paragraph where I highlighted the following phrase: "Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei—recognised globally as a voice against arrogance and terrorism—along with his family".
