Total nuclear disarmament NOW, forcibly reform army and police into a National Civic Works Corps and completely overhaul American infrastructure, all 1 percenters imprisoned for the crime of hoarding and their assets seized, landlords stripped of their property, prison otherwise abolished
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Brianna Ghey’s mother blaming social media for her murder is part of a disturbing pattern I’ve seen with cis people, the way they look at transphobic harassment or violence and reduce it all to “online stuff”

every time yet another sports organization tries to bar trans women from competition, people respond with "that's dumb. trannies never win anything anyway" and i am sick to death of it
what is your argument here. it's ok for us to compete as long as we suck? how are you helping. you're not.

you know what they ended up naming after him? an effect. they named the way society behaves toward new information that contradicts their beliefs after him. after they murdered him and realized he was right
hey remember when semmelweis tried to get doctors to wash their hands in 1846? and how they ostracized and institutionalized him because they were offended by his findings? and how he died of sepsis, the thing hand-washing prevents, after being beaten in an asylum?
unbelievable. anyway. wear a mask

what I'm proposing is a three party system:
the first party is around age 10, when you choose your gender and your name
the second party is when you first see the ocean. like, really See the ocean. you'll know, when it happens
the third party is when you have been almost, but not quite, forgotten
