It'll be interesting when we have sufficient technology to change form at the snap of a finger. Maybe if we upload our consciousness and inhabit a digital realm it could be much sooner or if we become aware this is a simulation and learn how to alter it effectively.

I've never heard anyone attempt to debate whether trans people exist, so the meme seems a bit weird.

The 'debate' seems to fall into two camps. Those who question the relationship to biological sex (sports, restrooms, prisons, etc), and those who label all such people as 'deviant' in some way (usually on pseudo-religious grounds or some other spurious right-wing nonsense).

It's pointless conflating the two, they're completely different debates for completely different reason with completely different (often vehemently opposed) groups. And it's pointless pretending either are denying trans people's existence.

If you've got a set of negative beliefs you need to fight against in society you need to actually address those beliefs, not some belief that sounds bad but nobody actually has.

I, for one, welcome our new trans overlords.

Go to the RNC, they're all so deeply in the closet and in such self hatred they torment everyone else about it.

Its very interesting how a seemingly neutral word like debate can remove the gleediness of others. The seemness of debate plays on the idea that debates are good; its good to talk about issues, its good to air ideas. But it opens a question that puts a questionmark on a human being. Are you welcome, or are you not?

The seemness is the tool for ripping us appart from each other; and it happens through questions. But we can parry!

By being aware of the seemness we can make our own. "Trans people has more right to exist than the washington beatling." is a good example of how to do this.

My toenail clippings have more right to exist than the US government.

And we all know what your toenails have done.

Shit I was hoping you didn't know tbh

[-] cavitationfetishist2@quokk.au 4 points 2 days ago

There will be a reckoning, but it does support your point here.

we predate human civilization. we've always been here, and we always will be, as long as there are humans.

Who's to say we won't continue to exist after humans as well?

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.

Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.

This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.

Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules


  1. If you post images with text, endeavour to provide the alt-text

  2. If the image is a crosspost from an OP, Provide the source.

  3. Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.

  4. Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.

  5. No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

  6. This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.

  7. No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.
