Our justice system might not be perfect, but it is the best option we have.

This was said about every system throughout history to justify injustice.

Say what you want about marxist-leninists but they're not "very extreme right fascists". Do you have any evidence for your claim or are you just doing your part in decreasing political literacy?

Equality is everyone being treated the same way regardless of differences.

Generally, equality is just about equality of freedom or "power to –". If someone needs support to achieve their goals (as long as this doesn't involve "power over" others / oppression) then of course it is important that there be societal structures/networks in place to help them, or at least "meta-structures" that can facilitate the organisation of such supporting networks.

Of course, "freedom" is a poorly defined word in itself, but imo the "everyone treated the exact same" (or worse, "everyone should be the same") interpretations are not in the spirit of "freedom" and I wouldn't be surprised if they were constructed in bad faith (not to promote "equity" but to discredit "equality").

But ultimately it's just semantics, and if you like calling it equity that's cool, it's just good to keep in mind that people who still use "equality" can easily be referring to the exact same thing.

Thanks for the info.

My concern is less about the reliability of the provided info and more the bias of the voice/language being used, and the choice of which facts get reported on. To me, this Politico article reads as rather sympathetic to the right wing.

Ultimately I don't think "unbiased" reporting truly exists, it'd be better if journalists (and their editors/employers) were transparent about conflicts of interest, like in scientific publications (even though it's not like that's likely to happen, so the reality is that anyone seeking such info has to find it out by themself). Not to mention how the left-right spectrum is pretty subjective and vague.

Does anyone have an alternative source?Politico Europe is owned by Axel Springer SE, and Axel Springer was apparently like Germany's Murdoch.

Not my photo and I don't entirely remember its context but I'd saved it back then because it really struck me how blatant the Bernie censorship was

I'm not surprised one bit

As far as I can tell, they physically present as masculine (albeit non-traditionally), perhaps with elements of femininity (I mean when it comes to specifics that kinda stuff is subjective), rather than butch/masculine femininity or smthn.

I just checked their reddit acc (u/anarcho-stripperism) and they still have their preferred pronouns as they/she/them, and seeing that they're anarchist, perhaps they are going for a more subversive breaking-the-gender-binary thing (which I think is cool!) rather than something specifically about gender identity.

Do you know why? I'm curious because she presents as masculine and doesn't seem to have any hangups presenting as such so it leaves me a bit confused. Like, with gender being a social contruct and all, gender neutral pronouns for all is my personal ideal, but yeah I don't get why someone would choose pronouns associated with the gender they don't actually "traditionally" present as. Is it about being intentionally subversive?

Only if the amount of wug is a prime number.

This is because non-prime numers of wuggi are highly unstable and will split into separate prime factors of wug if there's enough space (and in most atmospheric conditions).
