And well, if you don't understand why that's increasingly becoming a breaking point with me - scroll back to the top of this thread.
The planet is on fire. Either fossil fuels go or a habitat that can support 8B+ people does. The rich people have made their choice, that's why they're paying to elect fascists and the govts they own are hardening borders, increasing security forces and curtailing civil rights. The very real capitalism we have now, cannot survive the death of oil. It's us, or them
Also, as a side note:
If you think there's a different capitalism, not based on oil, waiting out there for some genius to figure out and save this way of life, it's because you don't understand how a financialized economy works.
Does that MEAN anything? Absolutely not. This is me telling you directly that I have no evidence she's double dealing. But I also don't know that she isn't. And I know that if liberals ever want to win an election again they better start talking like her, Bernie Sanders, and Mamdani. And I have very little belief that this capitalist liberal establishment would want to do anything beyond talk, in that regard.
It's good that liberals are mad about nazis, but it ain't mean they're socialists.

Also, after the past I dunno, when did 9/11 happen - every waking moment since then, in our society; I am a little jaded, a little cynical, and a little paranoid.
And part of me watches this woman who has mastered the passion, anger, and antifascist jargon of the left still exemplify so much of the reactionary liberal strain, and thinks "you know, if I were a DNC maggot that didn't want to change anything except our campaign style, I might pay someone to do a podcast like this on the sly..."

(I'm prepared to listen to anyone who hates Nazis even a tenth as much as I do. But having watched a bunch of her content, it's just kinda hard to wait around for her to figure out there is no nicer better capitalism that won't still produce all the same problems the "crony" or "runaway" capitalism she's roasting now is doing. I feel like she'll get there - but if history holds, the libs will stop talking about her immediately afterwards. So it won't be soon. I don't think.)

(She's okay. You have to understand that after spending like a couple decades of my life studying this nazi shit, I've come to the conclusion that we are where we are, on a burning rock, surrounded by homicidal nazis, in societies wholly owned and controlled by hyper-reactionary billionaire cultists is b/c "capitalism." And there is no way out that involves "us regular people all survive" and "keep doing capitalism." So there's only so much common ground I can find with libs. Even smart ones.)

Me: Everyone does not know it. In fact there's a ton of hard data saying the opposite; that trans competitors actually tend to have LOWER levels of testosterone than cis-women competitors and do not have an athletic advantage over them. Which stands to reason because the biology of M2F transition is about suppressing testosterone levels down to nothing and then adding estrogen instead." (ct)
Me: "Cis-women aren't taking pills to suppress the natural amount of testosterone in their bodies. You do know women have testosterone in their bodies right? Or are you just a guy who feels a way?" (ct)
Making friends in the Youtube comments; a two part story.
Guy: "Everyone knows this, testosterone is a hell of a performance enhancing substance, we ban it as such accordingly. And the advantage doesn’t just disappear, you can get years ahead of schedule in performance, and not in a way that just disappears once you’re no longer taking it."

Pretty funny that at one point Charlie Kirk was on a podcast spewing transphobia and said "we should take care of this problem like they did in the 50's and 60's" and then someone literally took care of the problem that is Charlie Kirk "like we did in the 60's" - a decade famous for political assassinations.
The world is on fire and we're all going to die, but I do appreciate that the universe still has a sense of humor.
