This interview made the shockingly useful observation, which I'd never put together before, of why antisemitism is so core to the modern Far Right, despite being one of the biggest impediments to recruitment.

Namely, that the things white people are disaffected about are the same things as everyone else: lack of job security, growing wealth inequality, rising cost of living, and all the other horrors of late capitalism.

And they're not fools when it comes to the causes of these problems. And it is natural that they would feel some sympathy for Leftist arguments.

But you can turn most any Leftist argument into a fascist one if you just replace all instances of "capitalism" with "Jews."

You can't blame everything on Black people and immigrants because they're codified as poor. You need someone who represents wealth. So they sub the stereotype of the Jewish banker for the bourgeoisie and all that stress about capitalism leads to becoming a Nazi.

It's so obvious when you just say it out loud, but I hadn't made that connection before.
i may be the token cishet, but i'm just enough towards middle of the kinsey scale to see cute girls and know "i must alert the wlws of this so that they can come properly swoon over this woman as she deserves"
on that note, Nyma Tang on youtube is not only charming to listen to review makeup, but has one of THE cutest noses i have EVER seen. see picture for proof
i realize that the token cishet talking about this while surrounded by trans women is, at best, sort of... charmingly quaint, but perhaps same hat a little bit, if in a rather orthogonal manner
but more importantly: come, my sisters, let us cover our virtual selves with glitter and pink and be violently feminine towards all who may oppose us
like in warframe... "oh well i guess i need to stick to more sedate colors, i don't want people to think bad of me when i play co-op and -"
fuck it!
energy color is violent pink!
everything else is purple and teal!
i BECAME THE #AESTHETIQUE and it improved my game experience by at least 300%!
for many years, playing online games, i consciously or subconsciously tried to disguise myself - male avatars, very modest character outfits, etc.
part of it was the "but i'm not like THOSE girls" blues, part of it was just trying to figure out how to not be harassed by people online
and honestly, my friends
one day i went "fuck this. i'm going to be full pink glittervomit frillytimes hyperfemme." and it has improved my life immensely
i mean honestly, if a video game doesn't let you get many pretty dresses, why is it EVEN under consideration at ALL to play
tbh i think i would really enjoy red dead redemption 2 if i got into it but "you have to play as a dude" is such a high cost of investment that it's going to take so much more to get into it
ngl i'm still tempted to see when it goes on sale... .................so i can just play red dead online and just. pick flowers. pet my horse. get pretty dresses.
ok so maybe one sit is "harp you fucker, you can't just subvert that bit of redwall by awkwardly inserting india into this now, you odious curryboo" and to that i say
uhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck you jerboas are cute
no lie i get the strangest nostalgia sometimes for music because other people will go "oh man, i loved tomb raider/final fantasy 6/etc etc, such a fantastic game, this tune really takes me back"
...
and it totally takes me back too, but back to those geocities redwall roleplay sites where every location had its own little page with a midi autoplaying
tomb raider? what? no that's mossflower woods smh, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONrDrRVTKLU
