I’m just glad we have an MMP system here.

True, but only the main two really stand a chance of getting in.
How funny would it be if Trump lost on his own course?
That is definitely the right thing to do, but wouldn’t it be great to actually want to vote for your guy?
This will be the third election running where Americans have had the choice of a giant douche or a turd sandwich to vote for.
The poor thing thinks words mean whatever they decide they mean. They’re not capable of explaining their position in an intelligent way, either.
Someone upvoted this idiotic take, and whoever it was, I’m disappointed in you.
This is the most bizarre stand I’ve seen someone take online, and that’s really saying something. Phobic means an irrational fear or disgust off something, these people are clearly neither afraid or disgusted of trans people.
Do you think Homophobes are “afraid” of gay people?
Yes.
What abiut transphobes?
Also yes.
In the context of bigotry, phobia is used to refer to invalidating or undermining ones sexuality, gender identity, etc.
That is the outcome of the irrational fear people feel towards those people.
Someone attracted to trans people because they are trans would be transphilic, not transphobic.
What do you think the word “phobia” means, just out of interest?

It doesn’t sound like they’re afraid to me?
They’re arguing that being sexually attracted to something is a phobia, the definition of which is having an irrational fear of something.
Do you really think this person has the ability to string enough words together to justify their opinion?
It sounds like the polar opposite to me.
He had dirt on a lot of powerful people, and the circumstances around his death were extremely suspicious.
The fuck is a chaser?
It’s a bit more mask on, and there’s a few legit communities there, as opposed to Hexbear where the entire instance has a stated goal.
But it’s pretty bad.
You guys are pretty proactive about blocking and defederating bad faith instances, or even ones not doing enough to deal with bad actors. You were one of the first to defederate Hexbear, and I think you even defederated world at one point?
Oh, hey Dave. Small world huh?
They’ve chosen a very confrontational path with the way their instance interacts with others, and as a result they get a lot of push back, which just makes them angrier. I suspect anyone trying to be reasonable on the instance gets accused of not being a true believer as well, so only the angriest remain.
Also, Boost for Lemmy allows you to block an entire instance, it’s pretty handy.
Lead acid batteries are worth a decent amount of money as scrap, don’t throw them out.
