In case you haven't heard, there was recently a far right wing political candidate from the UK messing with the first amendment rights of an American somehow. Alt-right sentiments run deep, especially in the country responsible for brining the first colonizers here. The system has been rotten since the start.
Sargon took part in a lot of internet campaigns that are inherently hateful like GamerGate, a group of harassers that subscribe to Sargon to this day that went out of their way to shame a woman game dev for cheating on her boyfriend after he made their breakup public like an emotionally manipulative chud. Aside from that he's railed against women's rights advocates and praised Trump during the 2016 elections. And this man has recently attempted to join UK politics. Let that sink in.
Her tweets explain it better than I can but I'm still going to go off. Women, especially women of color, tend to get the short end of the stick in legal proceedings. If a movie was chopped down to each major plot point with only some dialogue and scenes cut out, that movie would still get taken down as copyright infringement from the copyright holder on YouTube and even sue the hell out of the poster and win, so why can't another user have that same right? The answer is money and racism, and a little bit of sexism in the side.
Tl;dr
A white man's privilege reached over an entire ocean from another country to screw over a black woman in America.
Strikes are not ableist, but Amazon is. Take a look at how they handle disabilities:
- Amazon was sued in a federal ADA violation for treating bathroom breaks as “time theft” and firing an employee with Crohn’s.
- Amazon’s denial of disability benefits caused the death of an injured HIV positive employee.
- Amazon fought to avoid having to make its website ADA compliant.
- Amazon’s working conditions cause and exacerbate permanent injuries and disabilities, followed by homelessness.
- And hey what's this? Amazon fires this guy for hurting his back on the job.
- And he's far from alone
- Oh let's not forget the time they denied someone THE ABILITY TO TAKE THEIR MEDICATION
- And their pet companies aren't any better ...
In short, don't scab. If you cross a picket line, you’re helping corporations get away with these kinds of abuses.
As always, the most vulnerable people bear the brunt of your inability to go 2 gd days without buying shit from their employer.
Bella Thorne's sentiment, despite apologising for it, is incredibly toxic and sexists. I understand she must've come from a family that was very sex negative but that isn't an excuse to carry this disdain over into adulthood. Adults have sex, they take nudes, they get naked. And most importantly they are supposed to be able to choose when and with who they do this with.
Whoopi Goldberg had her privacy invaded, her sexuality was forced into the spotlight and Bella's best idea when was to shame her? And victim blame? It's horrifying to have this happen and comments like these are damaging to victims.
So it's funny that transphobes love to be like "fuck trans people!!! UR JUST FETISHISING WOMEN!!!!" and then have urls like "vaginacrusader", "radicalwomanfuckr" and "pussylovingpussy" without giving it even a second of thought like look in a mirrorr

You can run into hardcore legal trouble if you take organs out of a dead person unless they signed a piece of paper saying it was ok before they died...
Women literally have less rights than dead people.
