terf rhetoric kind of falls apart once you bring up straight trans women, and as a result they can’t paint themselves as victims. they start talking about hyperrealistic neo-vaginas and plasticated seductresses that destroy traditional families and corrupt their poor straight boyfriends and husbands. that’s where the real resemblance to right-wing conservatism is most obvious.

You aren’t very good at lying

Marxism and Communism do not support transgenderism btw

Combined with the van attack in Toronto by an incel, that’s 2 terrorist attacks fueled by a hatred of women.

Why even waste time trying to rehabilitate these creatures? Just cull them

So when are people gonna be like “Oh shit! There really is a war on Women.” When attacks on Women keep occurring because male shitheads exist.

someone: so what do you think is the solution to homelessness?

me, socialist:

Let homeless people occupy peopleless homes, build houses for use rather than exchange, 3D print comfortable houses in a day, convert corporate skyscrapers into housing and commercial malls into publicly-accessible community centers with living commons and entertainment

When you say it to people and they break

“But the money? … we can’t just? But, Money? We can’t just… help… people? Can we? The Money. We can’t just help people? Like that? We can’t just? Money?”

There’s more to it than free real estate.

A massive portion of homeless people are mentally ill, and many of those illnesses aren’t being treated. Homeless people who have been on the streets and had their illnesses untreated for most of their lives aren’t going to adjust super well to suddenly having a place to live.

We need to build safety nets. We need social workers and mental health care professionals to help the homeless.

Every person deserves a roof and health care. Those two things need to go hand in hand.

The Housing First model of dealing with homelessness does exactly this. But actually when homeless people with mental illness or drug dependencies get into housing they start to do a lot better. Yes there are safety nets and things to work on after but it starts with housing. Homeless shelters right now aren’t doing enough because they either limit stays or make it so that drug addicts aren’t allowed to stay there at all. Obviously they’re still helping people but the Housing First model would actually help a lot more people long term and even be cheaper for the government in the long run. Unfortunately I don’t have sources but if someone can add them that’d be great.

Here’s one small study where they directly compared Housing First and Treatment First populations and found that Housing First did better. 

Here’s another study doing the same with mental illness. 

General health has also been found to improve with housing assistance.

Some models of Housing First appear to be more successful than others. This is an interesting study comparing various formats with different features including emphasis on harm reduction, case worker interactions, and scattered-site versus project-based housing. They conclude that which model will work best depends on a person’s profile, health status, substance history, etc.

The space
for reasonable discussion has been strategically closed down by a
coalition of LGBT groups following Stonewall’s lead. First Stonewall
adopts a definition of transphobia which is designed to demonise anyone
who questions the catechisms trans women are women / trans men are men.
The LGBT media demonises women who won’t acquiesce to this ideology.
LGBT organisations nationwide adopt the Stonewall definition and
transmit it locally and regionally. All of this then licenses
misogynistic trans activists to enforce the demonisation of women by
monstering them on social media, targeting the funders and trustees of
women’s organisations, and seeking to prevent women gathering to discuss
these issues.

The
result is a culture of fear in which women are effectively silenced.
What else are they supposed to do? Every avenue is blocked. The only
remaining option is guerrilla activism.
