Imma make it stick.
I've been having a number of conversations on Hexchan recently trying to make sense of their politics. The most common instance of their hateful hypocrisy I've encountered is this constant assurance that they support trans people while immediately attacking and dog piling and trans people who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump.
I live in Massachusetts. We are a very blue state and we're one of the best places in the world to transition. We have informed consent, legal protection of our basic rights, and mandatory insurance coverage of trans health care, which state insurance also covers. Whatever you think of the DNC, the Democrats in Massachusetts are absolutely allies of trans people who've worked to actively protect our rights.
Still, I'm well aware of the danger that federal law could potentially pose. I know there may be a time when I have to flee the country if things get bad enough, and that's a lot more likely under Trump.
But they don't actually care about my rights, happiness, or safety, or those of any other trans people. They don't care what happens to us, they just want to use us as a bludgeon to dunk on people.
The hexchanners who aren't actively Russian trolls seem to be little more than useful idiots for conservatives, minimizing the damage they do to vulnerable populations and engaging in high school level pettiness and hate.
So what, you just keep them locked up and anxious forever? Is that punishment for the birds?
Like, what's your angle?
I ain't from hexchan. Just somebody who thinks animals should be treated decently and not just collected.
I mean, you don't actually have to take other species prisoner at all.
I don't know, a lot of people are pretty shit to their cats and the cats don't seem to have much say over the situation.
If you're like a happy cat with a nice place to live and freedom to explore or hang out at home according to your whims, that's probably a pretty okay life for the most part. But if you're an 'indoor' cat spending your entire life locked in a small space that may be cramped, dirty, or scary, that's a pretty different thing.
The contradiction of pet ownership is kinda fucked. Like, how are you going to try to keep a cat who desperately wants to escape trapped inside and pretend it's your buddy rather than your prisoner?
Same with people who have dogs that they just leave penned up or tied to a post all the time. How can anyone think that's any kind of life?
Humans are monsters.
I'd like to block all users and posts from hexchan, exploding heads, and lemmygrad. I don't care if it sends the data as long as it blocks it from my UI.
What's that written in? Python? I need to learn Python.
If you're going to spam Lemmy with bullshit on multiple accounts, can you at least stop making a new community for every post? It's a lot easier to block.
I love Twin Temple!
Are you in Twin Temple?
:O
I honestly wouldn't give those people the dignity of calling them leftists. They're too concerned about cosplaying as activists and dunking on people to actually give a shit about advancing the rights of real people or trying to protect anything good.
Honestly, it's begun to feel more hostile and shady. Pretty sure the Russian trolls are here, but hexchan ain't helping either. I'm waiting for a client side instance block feature. We really need it.
That sounds like a happy cat who gets to have a healthy relationship with being inside or outside.
