What an absolutely awful take. It's not that we have to choose between reducing human suffering - the eradication of malaria or poverty vs climate change investment. The money is there. We can do both, but the powers that be have decided it's not profitable to do so.

This sort of far right politics is a global scourge. Its spread should be stopped before more people are hurt.
ICYMI: Another member of the far-right Sanseitō party in Japan has stirred controversy with her comments. Wada Keiko claimed that identifying as transgender could “spread contagiously,” likening it to a disease.
Sanseitō Rep Likens Being Transgender to a "Contagious" Disease - Unseen Japan
Wada Keiko further stated she believed transgender people needed medical treatment instead of accommodation and understanding.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Everyone is rushing to defend Graham Linehan as some martyr to free speech but don't actually state what he tweeted. He explicitly called for people to violently assault trans women in the bathroom.
In another instance, he cyberstalked a trans minor. He's legitimately a danger to trans people.
