  • yeah, you got me. not liking liberals makes me a trump supporter. the overton window always ends at being a "progressive" slightly to the left of Ronald Reagan and anything beyond that is just the ice wall keeping us from finding out that the earth is flat

  • not surprising at all that you chose to go the blue MAGA "enjoy your camps, then" route instead of taking a step back. the only smug person here was you not realizing you're way out of your depth

  • i hate to inform you that these lobbying groups are acting exactly like a state would, actually. maybe don't lecture to trans people and tell us how the state works, we interact with the state way more than you will ever have to 💋

    what are you going to do against oligopolistic payment processors taking away your rights?

    idk, what are YOU gonna do? are cis people gonna finally fight for trans autonomy or are they gonna act like us having autonomy is too insane?

    are you gonna finally listen to us like when trans sex workers told you a decade ago that banks, the police and payment processors are policing our money or are you gonna let the issue fester because you don't want your family to know you stand with trannies and whores?

  • hot take: people ought to start forming morals outside of legal morality. a Lotta freaks are gonna end up illegal otherwise and the freak factor certainly includes some thing you do that your prudish neighbor doesn't like

  • the Stasi are never gonna stop at the particular marginalized group you dislike. plus nobody's offending shit, being a freak isn't illegal (yet). acting like it is certainly helps move the overton window that way though

  • When you massacre non-combatants, women, and children as factually did happen its genocide

    this is word for word what the French did to Haitians. that was the only genocide that ever happened during the Haitian Revolution. implying that racism against white colonizers is possible or if you're a white supremacist claiming that resisting a Holocaust is akin to committing genocide is a genocide denier's talking point.

  • there was no distinction between "civilians" and soldiers because the people he targeted fought in the colonial National Guard. you would've known this if you had read the sources I linked though. from WP:

    In a 2005 article titled “Caribbean genocide,” historian Philippe Girard argued that during the first four months of 1804, “on Dessalines’s orders, soldiers rounded up white planters, their families, French soldiers and the urban poor known as petits blancs, and killed them. Neither women nor children were spared.” Drawing heavily on Girard’s claims, podcaster Mike Duncan, in Season 4 of “Revolutions,” offers a sensationalized account of what he calls the “genocidal massacres” of 1804. He alleges that Haitian soldiers raped all the White women and concludes that Dessalines committed a “heinous crime.”

    Did Dessalines execute French soldiers and colonists? Yes. But this fact has been exaggerated and taken out of historical context.

    When the French evacuated in late 1803, they did not concede defeat. Instead, a small contingent of troops relocated to the city of Santo Domingo and began threatening to reinvade and “annihilate” the Black population. Dessalines soon learned of these plans. He also learned about support among White colonists for the recent French expedition. In this context, he ordered the execution of people who had “taken an active part in the different massacres and assassinations” by the French army. But, rather than targeted executions for the defense of the country, terrified colonists claimed to have witnessed the “massacre” of all the White people.

    Historical documents reveal, however, that many White people remained in Haiti after this alleged genocide. For example, a partial census from October 1804 lists more than 600 White people in the district of Gros Morne alone. That same month — after all the White people were allegedly killed — a British captain claimed that 200 White women were in imminent danger of being “massacred” in Cap Haitien.

    Claiming that Dessalines targeted civilians is also misleading. Many of those he executed fought in the colonial National Guard — militia units of male planters and merchants — which supported the French military expedition. Such claims also downplay the violence of colonialism. Settlers were enslavers, and as historian Vincent Brown has shown, slavery was war. Anti-colonialism is not genocide.

    this rhetoric sounds like the Israeli hasbara painting settlers as innocent civilians when most of them either served in the IDF or are currently reservists.

  • the developer is obviously a bad person but Dessalines simply carried out something resembling a Nuremberg trial rather than a "genocide".

    there is no historical evidence of a genocide happening in 1804. the people claiming a "white genocide" happened are white French who would obviously be biased and would want to defend their "human rights" image on the global stage.

    this is akin to the binary propaganda that paints October 7 as a "genocide" and Israel's actual genocide of Palestinians as a humanitarian mission to eradicate terrorism.

  • you mean gift cards bought at convenience stores? or do they buy them using a credit card and then the credits show up in your account?

    regardless, Visa and MasterCard have hegemonic monopolies on the market. anybody not using them will see huge losses in sales.

  • excluding SEPA, it's impossible to buy most things using them in my EU country.

    SEPA also doesn't have disposable credentials using randomized credit cards. i don't want the stores I buy from to have my bank account info and potentially be charged by them randomly.
