There is no such thing as better or worse when it comes to animals, just different. You're wrong though, birds are quite clearly better lmao

The artificial competition between cats and dogs is so silly. They're both great animals but they're completely different from each other. It doesn't even make sense to compare them. They're not the same. It's like comparing rabbits and birds and trying to rank them. Why the fuck?

Oh my God. I love it. It's long bread. It's FUCKING LONG. IF YOU CUT BREAD SIDEWAYS, IT LONG.

Bad. My cat died yesterday and the world is a cold, cruel place with no mercy for sweet, dorky cats.

Don't get pets, folks. Eventually they die and it'll break your heart.

Recently some idiot from the furthest right party in my country loudly complained that a newly built school in the city "discriminates against drivers". You see the lot they built on wasn't ideal, and they ended up having to sacrifice parking spaces. So there's not enough parking for everyone. If you want to work there, you may have to take the bus or park elsewhere.

To this right-wing idiot, this was a huge scandal unlike any other! It's a war on the people! It's irrational hatred of drivers! The left has gone too far!

It was ridiculous.

Just fucking fund better public transportation jesus fuck.

Right??? Isn't this the same country where people not only work for like 14 hours straight but are expected to join their coworkers and get fucking wasted after? Am I confusing South Korea and Japan?

To show whether you like/dislike and/or agree/disagree with something. Why are you confused?

Yes. A beautiful example of collaborative effort 💕

Like men's lib, but Marxist? I think that would be neat. It's definitely necessary. The way men are socialized + all the incel/fascist pipelines is creating so much misery. And literally killing people. We should try to combat that as much as we can.

As a woman I really wish we would put more focus on the patriarchy. I think many communists, particularly male communists, tend to underestimate the importance of it. Maybe because whenever the patriarchy is discussed, it is usually to point out the misogyny. I wish empathy for women could be enough, but if men are taught from birth that we are their servants and accessories then their empathy has already been dampened. So it's not enough to talk about women's issues. We also need to talk about men's issues in a way that keeps all this in mind.

Men's rights movements tend to devolve into incel hellholes, but so long as a feminist lens and Marxist perspective is being utilized then there's at least a chance that it won't.

I hope there can be a movement of men supporting men in a non-toxic way. I really think you could accomplish so much if you made a movement based on radical compassion for each other. Men supporting men, in the ways that men need to be supported. Open up to each other, display your vulnerabilities, be soft. That would be brave.
