If you don’t 100% support antifa, fuck off. They are the most unambiguously good guys in American politics right now.
When you have *literal fucking Nazis* marching through the streets of your city, they are the ones out there getting shot at and beaten in order to stare them down and say “no.” There is not a more basically, straightforwardly good thing to be doing.
Literally the only people who have any sane reason to object to this are actual fucking Nazis, and the liberals who object are the same ones who are going to be quietly acquiescing when these Nazi fucks come to take me to a camp.
Again, these are *actual Nazis*. They are not being coy about this fact. I don’t demand that everybody puts their bodies on the line to stand up to them. I’m not sure I’d be brave enough. But if you don’t support those who are brave enough then you’re a collaborator and fuck you.
This is the funniest and most thoughtful I’ve ever seen an organization use a meme and it’s good people with good goals who don’t just want your money on top of it
My number one tip for straight men (I mean, it could conceivably work for other genders and sexualities, but you’d have to adjust it quite a bit) is: inagine they’re a man.
Imagine that you just randomly told some bloke in a pub that he has beautiful eyes.
That you walked up behind your coworker Jim and started caressing his neck and shoulders while talking to him about the budget.
That you just sent a large and unexplained bouquet of flowers to Darren in Accounting.
That instead of complimenting a coworker on her breasts, you complimented him on his dick.
Does the action now seem weird? Uncomfortable? Do you no longer want to do it now that it isn’t directed at somebody you are sexually attracted to?
That strongly suggests that your action has a sexual aspect to it and therefore probably counts as sexual harassment!
I have a large, colorful tattoo on one arm. I’ve had multiple strange men cross a room to tell me how awesome it is, frequently while I’m at work, and it has never made me uncomfortable.
A couple of weeks ago, someone yelled out a car at me ‘I FUCKING LOVE YOUR BOOTS’, which was awesome.
It’s just… it’s really not hard to compliment people in a way that isn’t creepy, if your goal is actually to compliment them and not to slide a ‘btw I’m thinking about fucking you’ under the radar.
And the fact that some guys have NO IDEA how to do this really shows what’s wrong with our society.
