  • their problems are legitimate problems sure, but in a lot of cases problems with a lot of those groups can be summed up with a couple of things:

    • it’s different to my world view and i don’t like it
    • i think i deserve something and am not getting it

    those are different kinds of problems to acknowledging your own feelings, or people are using me and trampling over me… both are deserving of help, but incels, terfs, extremists in general are harming others with their problems

    you’re free to swing your arms until they come into contact with my body

    these classes of people are harmful to others - i don’t think anyone thinks they aren’t deserving of help, but they are dangerous in a completely different way


  • meanwhile in australia: FUCK YEAH INVASION DAY CUNTS 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🐨

    while our politicians say that not loving australia day and wanting to move it to literally any other significant day in australian history is unaustralian 😔

    … im sure we’re not alone

    (and then i looked up canada day - nope that’s their day of confederation, south africa - their day of their first non-racial democratic elections, nz - … waitangi day - day of their treaty signing with the māori people - perhaps seems controversial in similar ways?… anyway australia day is a pretty fucking awful celebration)

    but equivalent and equal are different right?

    in comp sci “is the same thing as” (equal) and “amounts to the same thing as” (equivalent) are very different concepts

    (also when talking “DEI”-type use [god i hate that i hate phrasing it like that]: equality is not wanted: we don’t want the same as in most cases; we want amounts to the same as taking in different circumstances)


  • yup! and absolutely worth the mention that if you’re queer (qlife), struggling with specific issues - alcohol, gambling, finance, eating disorders, etc - there’s specific support available to a lot of people in australia, the US, europe, etc

    if you need help, help is available! find one of these services who can help you find the specific support that you need, and go from there :)

    as a gay man, i found a lot more help when i started seeing services that specialised in queer health :)

    yall deserve someone who understands what you’re going through in life
