Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

Yeah I have low spice tolerance myself, and I do playfully joke about it from time to time. The “Japanese spicy mayo” at the sushi places is about my limit.

@Meanlucario
Shapiro, Walsh, et al. are insecure little cretins who can’t handle any form of self-deprecation.

It’s why they joined an authoritarian cult in the first place.

I mean I’ll give credit where credit is due. Least Matt Walsh has the courage and the confidence to be upfront in telling us he doesn’t know what a woman is, given how much he asks about it.

@BlitztheDragon
Not really. While Matt Walsh is a rude, insensitive bastard, he had one valid point in his bad movie. Nobody on the left was able to answer the question he asked. They all just went: “uuuhhhmm, uuuuhh, well what do mean? I am uncomfortable and I will leave this interview now.” when asked the simple question: “what is a woman?”. The movie puts the spotlight on the ban of biology on the far left and the “feelgood pseudoscience” they now preach in a simple yet crude way.

@Background Pony #7A74
I understand that these topics can be deeply personal and provoke strong opinions. However, it’s essential to approach discussions like this with a focus on respectful dialogue and a clear understanding of the facts.

The question you mentioned — “what is a woman?” — has been used by some - especially gender-critical UK activists as a rhetorical device rather than a genuine inquiry.

It’s not a question to be answered, or in an attempt to seek understanding, but to create division and push an agenda.

It’s a way to put people on the defensive, often in a public setting, to make it seem like they can’t adequately respond, when in reality, the question itself is designed to be a trap.

So, when you encounter this kind of rhetoric, it’s helpful to recognize the intent behind it and to steer the conversation back to a more constructive and nuanced discussion, rather than getting drawn into the combative framing that the question encourages.

For example, biology is not being “banned”. But there is an ongoing effort to better understand and respect the diverse experiences of all people, including those who are transgender.

And science and medicine have long acknowledged that gender identity is not solely determined by biological sex but is also influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormones, and social conditioning.

Recognizing this does not negate biology but rather expands our understanding of it.

So - let’s focus on creating an environment where we can discuss these issues thoughtfully, with respect for everyone’s perspective, and without resorting to divisive slogans, rhetorical devices meant to create conflict, or generalizations.

A “woman” is a societal construct, just like currency, it only has the meaning and value we attribute to it.

Right wing dipshits are desperate to pin the definition on “Anyone that is born with a vagina” regardless of what we now know to be gender dysphoria, hormonal imbalances and developmental differences which can alter how someone wishes to present as.

A human fetus has more variables than simply “Male or Female”, THAT is the biology being silenced by bigots to push their ideology based around a strict and archaic hierarchy.

@Poison Trail
I feel like saying woman is just a social construct is a bit dumb, since it was just another word for female for most of our history. Now that genders being more than just man/woman is much more accepted, “woman” is a bit more flexible than you say it is.

Besides the obvious point that anyone can cherry-pick clips of unprepared randos and call it “evidence”, The Daily Liar kinda gave up the game in the director’s commentary to their next movie Lady Ballers.

Shabibo, Walsh et al admitted that the movie was supposed to be another documentary in the style of What Is A Woman, but both were unable to find any cases of men transitioning to female just to “have an advantage in women’s sports”, and when they were able to convince one person to do it they realized that HRT is a years long process that wouldn’t allow the documentary to be done in any reasonable timeframe. So with the very premise of the documentary non-existent they retooled it to be instead a “comedy” about how this situation totally happens actually.

Tim Walz posted a quip on “White Guy Tacos” on Twitter Right-wing folks got mad, including these guys:

Congrats Benji. That’s the joke. Medieval Europe being so lacking in food variety and spices being so non-existent there that white people literally went to war for pepper or sage or such is why the stereotype exists.

@Dustcan
oof.

@BlitztheDragon
Well hell. I have low tolerance for spicy foods (less than mild in most cases). I can identify with that.

Societal constructs by definition are flexible, since they’re essentially up to interpretation and don’t have a precise meaning. That’s in contrast to the right wing position that whatever you end up with inbetween your legs is what you’re forever stuck with.

And when the subject is inevitably shifted towards non-humans being bound to that definition to try and draw a false equivalence, the answer is still “If they have gender dysphoria or were born with unusual hormonal differences, then you shouldn’t assume”.

I feel it’s pretty fitting that Kamala is portrayed as a spotted hyena, anyone familiar with the way their society works knows exactly why that’s especially hilarious in this circumstance.

@Poison Trail
They’re just jealous her pseudo penis is bigger than theirs ever will be.

I just realized the real reason why Tim Walz’s joke didn’t land with the white wing is because it was too spicy for them.

It took me all day to come up with that one.

@Dustcan
I mean, it did burn them quite badly.

@Dustcan
I will give a small clap.

Should I get high to watch these debates?

The right loves price gouging I take it.

The rich right wingers love an unregulated so-called “free” market in which the bigger fish are able to devour all competition and grow out of control while also able to dodge paying much if any taxes on just about anything. This is exactly why anyone going from poverty to a position of wealth usually also tends to espouse right wing corporatism overnight.

The useful idiots at the bottom, though? Nowadays it’s all too easy to just use authoritarian reasoning to direct their hatred towards “the other”, typical “Look at and be angry at who I’m telling you to hate while I’m picking your pockets and work tirelessly to make your life even shittier” bullshit. That used to be at least tricky while the libertarian side of the party still had a voice and was able to see through that bullshit, but nowadays they’ve either come to embrace fascism like the rest or have effectively been silenced.

It’s not that they “love price gouging”, but that their rational thinking has effectively been hijacked to believe it to be entirely because of their opposition and that following Dear Leader will magically make it all go away. Promise!

@𝕭𝖆𝖉𝖍𝖊𝖆𝖗𝖙
If you have to ask, the answer is yes. I’ve listened to Donald Trump sober. I do not recommend it.

Frankly, it wouldn’t hurt if he got a bit high for the debates. Preferably a psychedelic. Something to take the edge off his ego.

Friend of mine made this meme for me on my behalf. Think it turned out great. And yes, Vance really did make this claim in 2021.

@Background Human
I’m gonna need some Purple Urkle.

@BlitztheDragon
Followed by the Childless at lady comments. And him dressing in Drag. And he maybe fucked a couch. And he is a dolphin porn enthuist.

Yeah JD Vance is not a popular choice for VP. Infact if Trump dies the country is stuck with him as President.

@igotnopicks Probably, remember he went to Wharton, whose Dean was close friends with daddy. And still got Cs 😅
Anyway, BIG TIME MAJOR OOFAGE INCOMING 😆😆😆

Elon! What do you have to say about Elon’s latest run of bad fortune‽
