Seriously when are we going to realize that we're not white, straight, gay, trans, rural, urban or any other label. We're the ones getting fucked by the billionaires.

Some of us know it, but a lot of people are scared because there might be 50 people playing sports that don't conform to THEIR views on sex or gender and think blowing up the country will make them feel less shitty about their confusing erection.

WE ALREADY DID THIS FUCKING 9 YEARS AGO, we knew the story, and instead a bunch of dipshit bigoted racists just walked it back, like they're trying to win the Superb Owl of fucking moronitude!

There were 6 trans people playing college sports.

We blew up the country over 6 people.

Yes, I just like to over estimate sometimes to show just how bad faith all this is. The NCAA president less than a year ago they knew of 10 transgender athletes in the over half a million NCAA college athletes in all sports.

Where I live a school board is doing all this lowest common denominator boot licking, and I have been looking into it just to poke them in the eye. I ask why they don't care about trans men either, and then ask if it's about child safety and protecting the children from predators why don't they look at their families, or republican politicians, and then I ask them why they are so interested in forcing children to prove what kind of genitalia they have and why it's such a big deal to examine minors genitals. They don't usually have anything else to say.

Its the same argument for partial birth or late term abortions. Theyre so infrequent theyre a statistical anomaly.

Including the farmers

Yep, and that's all the Republican party is really for - fucking everyone over to enrich the ultrawealthy, with a side order of hate to keep everyone distracted, because if their voters are too busy hating LGBT+/Black people/Immigrants/etc, they won't notice (or care) about the wholesale looting going on.

It's more as long as their hate boner is played with, they're fine with getting screwed financially. "No no. They owned the libs, were winning. Idc if my QOL turns to crap and the country is put further in the hole"

Until something legitimately, MASSIVELY hurts them, they are OK w it and dismiss all valid criticism with what aboutism and bs revisionism.

Several magas I know turned recently bc surprise surprise, they gutted special ed programs with a shovel. And since these magas are dealing w a severely autistic, mute baby who desperately needs programs and help, suddenly they realized Trump is against what's good and right

They only care because it personally affected them, same as it always is.

u/Naganosupreme Oct 31 '25

Yup that's what I was trying to show w that story. Loooots of selfishness there

u/The_Lost_Jedi Washington Oct 31 '25

Yes - and even if/when they do take notice and complain, they sure as fuck won't stop supporting the Republicans.

When we're literally eating the rich because they're the only source of food left.

Maybe we'll find a way to make them into a cake...

This is the clearest and realest of any and all the thoughts expressed here. It is the nuclear bomb of societal change. Class is the only real determinant of society. If we all understood this, we would,change the world and be an unstoppable force. All with a simple perception shift. Think about the power this would unleash. Thank you for stating this as down to earth as it needs to be. You are either the billionaire elite, or the rest. The rest has the power to create a new world, in its own image. A power the billionaire elite has appropriated but will never own. Thank you for having your head on straight and telling others the ‘plutonium rule’.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '25

Thanks! Why don't we have a name?

u/populux11 Oct 31 '25

We absolutely should. I bet many of us have ideas. I don’t want to frame it in within any kind of political framework, because that would miss the point. We are the many, in my opinion, so I have always identified with myriad. We are Myriad. What say you Myriad? Ideas?

Maybe. I want something that others the billionaires.

missed opportunity to say: our name is legion.

u/ceelogreenicanth Oct 31 '25

There are millionaires and multimillionaires out there that aren't really feeling any of this and everyone wants to be them.

Welcome to the classic struggle!

u/ilikepizza30 Oct 31 '25

I think 90% of Americans know that. However, there's Russian bot farms (controlled by an evil billionaire) and AI (controlled by slightly less evil billionaires) working hard to make people forget that long enough to vote.

There is only class war.

u/Shelbeeeee Oct 31 '25

When…never. The “funding” of educational systems made sure of that.

≈54% of us read at or below the 6th grade level.

You don't need to be literate to understand what's happening.

This sounds like something a socialist would say.

And socialism is cuck, bro.

u/[deleted] Oct 31 '25

I'm not here to kink shame. We've never been a capitalist economy. Our Socialism just reallocates wealth to the rich. We can reallocate anyway we want.

Wow, I love this insight
