what?

Peaceful protest includes property damage fyi. Shit still needs to be disruptive to be effective, a lot of people forget that

To widen the anecdotal data set, I have ADHD and have been using nicotine since I was 16 (29 now). I quit for ~8 months a few years back by making my own vape juice and tapering my nicotine dose down over a period of several months. I never experienced withdrawal symptoms, but my mental health tanked on lower doses and it got even worse when I was completely off nicotine. I was way more irritable, impatient, scatterbrained, and depressed. It was not fun

Nicotine in pretty much any amount is cardiotoxic, caffeine (in moderate amounts) is pretty much neutral afaik. They both may or may not be carcinogens depending on the study. Thats pretty much it I think

We should all be so lucky

Thanks, I hate ir

Guillermo has harnessed his powers of anxiety and people pleasing to ascend binary conceptions or morality

They know, they don’t care. Read bullshit jobs

Y’know what just dawned on me? Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, and Collin Robinson are all kinda neurodivergent coded. Are we in the neurodivergent villain era? Kinda like the queer coded villains of the last couple generations. Cause if so, I’m 110% here for it lol

America is a fucking joke

Racism is a nebulous ideology full of contradictions. It completely crumbles under close examination. You highlighting the internal inconsistencies of racism and going “see! It doesn’t matter that the visibly white people aren’t white!” Isn’t proving the point you think it is. There is no white tribe. It’s a myth. You’re fighting a ghost. The European continent is full of numerous ethnic and cultural groups. Groups that were at each other’s throats for most of their history. Some still are to this day. Again, the Irish are a perfect example of this.

If I said all Africans are of the same tribe and waaaay more similar than they are different, you’d lose your shit. It’s the same deal. Whiteness doesn’t exist, white supremacy does. It’s complicated and makes no sense. It’s not supposed to make sense, it’s a tool of oppression just like any other form of racism.

Between your comments on race and your comments on religion, it’s obvious that you’ve constructed a comfy narrative for yourself where all of the views you hold are the right ones and they absolve you of all wrongdoing perpetuated by members of your race and religion, choosing instead to lay the blame solely on others. You have no incentive to think otherwise, you’re perfect, your beliefs are perfect, and the people like you who do bad things aren’t really what they say they are. Enjoy your delusion

No, Zionists are mostly Jews and Christians. Same as the modern wave of American fascisn is explicitly Christian. They say as much and use their respective religious texts to opress others. Many evangelical churches spew religiously motivated hate very Sunday, and perpetuate the state’s propaganda to the Christian masses. There are atheist Zionists and fascists, sure, but to say that those movements are atheist movements is so hilariously wrong I don’t even know how you’ve managed to convince yourself of it

Being European doesn’t necessarily mean you’re white. The Irish are European (and the whitest of the bunch if skin color was the only factor) and for the longest time they weren’t considered white, and were subject to the same oppression and genocide from the “real whites”. Many Jewish people, and many Zionist for that matter, may have European ancestry, but they aren’t really considered white. Some might be white passing, but the Jewish diaspora is multi ethnic and largely unified by their religion/family history. Even the ones from a “white” background aren’t considered white because they’re Jewish first in the minds of those who seek to enact racist violence against them

I understand that white supremacy and the history behind it is its own unique dynamic, but so are other forms of racism. There have been numerous ethnic cleansings in Africa that didn’t involve white people, the Armenian genocide was perpetrated by non whites, balkanization, the Indian subjugation of kashmiris, the frankly bewildering levels of racism between various Asian ethnic groups, we can keep going but I feel like that is sufficient.

Your characterization of the genocide in Palestine is not only wrong, but also bordering on racist itself in the wildly inaccurate generalizations you make of the Jewish/Hebrew diaspora. We could go into the history of the Hebrew people, because their history as victims of racist, religious, and ethnic violence disproves your entire point. They’ve been subject to so many genocides and ethnic cleansings throughout their history that our modern conceptions of racist violence are largely informed by their history. White people weren’t the only ones subjugating Jews. Judaism predates the existence of whiteness as a concept by millennia, so how exactly am I wrong?

You know racism is ubiquitous globally right? Americans and “westerners” don’t have a monopoly on prejudice

Pedos don’t get a pass, neurodivergent or otherwise. I’m neurodivergent and this shit is gross and predatory. The only thing autism has to do with this is him thinking it’s a good idea to display his problematic proclivities on a t-shirt. At least girls now know to keep their distance, assuming this isn’t fake

Eh, don’t hang with sketchy people, keep off moncrief,.myrtle, Emerson, and 103rd and you’re fine. Typical street smarts rules apply

A lot of first wave and early norwegian black metal bands were essentially proto-NSBM. Nazis have been a part of black metal for as long as it’s been around. For a long while black metal had a reputation for being full of fascists

It’s the cheapest, largest city in Florida, situated on i95 and i10, with ports, railways, and an “international” airport. Relatively close to Tallahassee and Orlando, and has a population just shy of 1 million, with a solid amount of those being working age, even more if you consider the metropolitan area (1.7 mil). On paper it’s a solid pick to establish a presence in one of the most populous states in America. There’s just one problem though, it’s Jacksonville lol

Fr though, Jacksonvilles alright. It gets a bad rap but there’s some really nice places around town, with more popping up every day and lots of nature if that’s your thing. I’ve been working in jax for 10 years and living here for 8. It’s more of a home to me than my hometown

Always weird when Jacksonville pops up on lemmy
