Scrolling through the all feed and saw this post and genuinely cannot tell of this is satire or not.
First they came for the millionaires and distributed their wealth equally and I said nothing because I wasn’t a millionaire.
Then they came for the abled bodies and made public spaces as inclusive as possible and I said nothing because I didn’t notice.
Then they came for cis men and abolished the nuclear family and I said nothing because I’m not married so I didn’t care.
And when they smashed white supremacy, there was no one left to defend me.Is “abolishing the nuclear family” actually in the program here? WTF
Do you think that this means “no one can have a family that is two cis gendered people of the opposite sex raising children!”
Or do you think its talking about the structures of society that force people into these gender roles and family structures to begin with?
Answer. It’s the later one. Abolishing these structures, the incentives of and the dependencies they create, is part of abolishing patriarchy.
I don’t know what the fuck it means. I’m glad at least one of us seems to perfectly understand it as something benevolent, but it’s a pretty poor way to say it.
It’s not. You are just taking the definition of “Nuclear Family” in a vacuum. It’s like thinking “Abolish the Police” means that everyone that says that means they want anarchy, no state, and no form of law enforcement.
It’s a general phrase that speaks to the current structures and their real material results.
Your “idea” of the police or the nuclear family may be their definition on paper. An armed law enforcement. Or a single man, single women having kids.
These are what they are defined as in a vacuum. They are not what they are in the context of state structures.
The police are a defense of the capitalist class. Their job is first and foremost to protect private property and ensure class structures are not threatened.
The Nuclear Family is a means of ensuring a women’s material conditions and her children are dependent on a man for his labor. That same structure ensures men are given the advantage of control in that family structure; while keeping them having no power in their work or their labor.
These are what “leftist” are talking about when we are talking about abolishing these systems.
It’s not about being benevolent. It’s about being educated in class struggle and patriarchy.
Good try but no this was not in any way shape or form a clear way to say this. If you want to say “relive us from the pressure to conform to the tired and oppressive ideal of the nuclear family” then say that. Not “abolish the nuclear family,” which is nonsensical on its face because it’s physically impossible. Your connotations of this term are not to be confused with its denotation, and that’s the beginning and end of this. Anyway, I can tell you think this is super important but you’re not convincing me and I really don’t have any more fucks to give here so farewell.
From the subs pinned post: „As a friendly reminder, this comm is for the satirizing of conservatives only
Memes, comics, onion-type articles etc making fun of conservatives is what’s accepted here
Serious articles, discussions, information, infographics etc please post to !conservative@sh.itjust.works where the wonderful @SatansMaggotyCumFart@sh.itjust.works tries to moderate actually fair conservative debates
If you want the conservative space for conservatives to spout their bigotry, Nazism, xenophobia etc etc please see !Conservatives@hilariouschaos.com or the HilariousChaos instance in general, “The Friendlier ExplodingHeads Instance” ™
I’ll also be updating the display name to make it more clear when searching for a comm in the new post screen“
I’m a liberal, but booting out conservatives is pretty weak. That sounds like what they do over in the conservative instances.
That’s kind of the point of instances. Everyone got sick of the kind of shit they were posting so they moved to an instance that allows bigotry.
The paradox of tolerance is not a thing here.
It still makes me giggle sometimes that “truth social” is just a mastodon instance no one federates with
you dont sound like one at all.
Y’all gonna just literally question my political beliefs instead of realize that it’s wrong to have echo chambers regardless of your political beliefs? Damn we’re cooked.
I think what they’re questioning is your sincerity.
That sounds like the whining conservatives do when we refuse to entertain their hateful bullshit
they can go on reddit, where they get free reign, and only get mildy punished. moderation is heavier handed against comments that implies"things against conservative" rather than the other way around.
Imagine not being able to fathom someone with similar political beliefs still disagreeing with you. Don’t fucking call me a conservative.
Imagine not being able to fathom that people should have a choice as to whether they put up with that bullshit or not. There’s nothing to be gained from listening to those loudmouths. All they do is lie and play semantic games.
They have a right to free speech. They do _not _ have a right to an audience, as you’re suggesting they do.
So get off your high horse.
Oh, and I’ll call you whatever I fucking want, although you might want to go back and see that I didn’t call you anything. You sure jumped like I did, though. Was that a tell?
