    by attacking the media structures and funding that manipulate them. (this is not a fix all solution. obviously. but it is taking action against the most materially funded arm of the propagation of conservative values. i hope it can be one of many tools leftists use to push for justice and dignity.)

      Their parents manipulate them.

      The “media structures” aren’t the ones telling them to yell the F- word at queer people or just straight up murder them.

        Do you think it’s a coincidence our media is full of low quality “Woke Shit” that pretends to be progressive but is just the “Worst of Rainbow Capitalism”

        That was those bastards manufacturing consent. “Sorry guys, we have to censor your media the gays made us do it!”

          Do you really think bigots would somehow disappear if the media disappeared?

          Bigotry has existed since the first proto-hominid caved in the head of the other proto-hominid on the other side of the hill because his fur was a different shade of brown.

          There’s not some magical point where everyone will live in harmony and unite against the rich.

            Nope, but it wouldn’t be at THIS level. We somehow went from “Mainstream Trans Acceptance” to “Democrats thirst for Transblood because it’s THEIR fault Trump won! Because they were playing women’s sports while diddling people in the bathroom!” over-fucking-night.

                Two months ago when the media had to pretend that “Gender dysphoria doesn’t exist! They’re sending Sylvester Stallone in a fucking dress to your little girl’s soccer game!” was a fucking far right conspiracy theory no one took seriously, instead of a far right conspiracy theory loved by fucking everyone apparently.

                  What are you even talking about now?

                  You said we had mainstream trans acceptance. We didn’t. That’s nonsense. There has never been such a time in America.

                    Do you not remember in 2016 when even Trump was saying “Just let transgirls pee in the lady’s room?” and Pat McCory was laughed out of the state of NC over a bathroom ban that the whole country mocked?
