@PaddockLad, where have you stolen and hidden this?

 

He doesn't know?

In other news, orange paedo's big beautiful bill includes a small increase in the budget of ICE up from $4.5 billion to $40 billion, an amount which is greater than the US Marine corps budget. SS/Gestapo anyone ???

[Rayvin 6715]

They're banning British rappers from Glastonbury from entering the US now.  I suspect I'm currently banned from entering ffs, if they ever tied this place to me as a person.

 

Ironically probably not banned from Israel...

They've been dropped by their agency as well. Netanyahu has faced fewer consequences.

By my calculations, conservatively, that's $2000 tax money for every adult in the US. That's more than the cost of a McDonald's saver meal EVERY DAY. They are batshit.

$15 billion of it is for detention camps (more than the federal prisons budget I think I read). Wonder if they'll have showers.

I know we talk about fascism a lot and the word probably does get thrown around too easily but for real, at what point is it actually fascism?

If you've read Shirers "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" the US is re-enacting it, here we're not as far into the book as they are, but there's time yet.

Or Iran  

[Rayvin 6715]

You know one interesting thing in the subject of Iran is how progressive they are on trans rights. They recognise gender dysphoria as a mental condition wherein someone is born into the wrong body and support gender reassignment, even with state subsidy. Legal documentation is apparently also updated to reflect this on official record. The Ayatollah himself decreed this.

 

That makes them more progressive on trans rights than the current US government But also its just kinda funny to imagine given how we perceive them.

 

Its worth noting mind that they dont have such a positive relationship with homosexuality, and seem to confuse the two things in some quite problematic ways. But still i found it interesting and worth sharing since they were brought up.

Are you 100% sure about this, my reading suggests trans individuals in Iran have a horrific experience.

I'm sure they do on many levels but the actual legal situation I googled repeatedly because I didn't believe it either.

Not perfect by any stretch but also not what I expected personally.

I’m willing to bet that there’s a massive dollop of homophobia involved in their pro-trans stuff.

 

It’ll be seen as better to be born in the wrong body than to insert yourself into someone with a similar body.

That sir is pure poetry. If i said you had a similar body would you hold it against me?
