  • Donald Trump is authoritarian. Rather or not the United States can keep him in check is a different question

    And since you were so big on being pedantic, scroll back up and see what I said. I said President Trump is an authoritarian.

    He wants to be king, he wants to be like Putin, he admires people like Hitler.

    I’m talking about his attitudes and intentions. Not rather or not the US qualifies as an authoritarian regime. We will find out the answer to that question very soon.

    He’s a toddler who is going to push the boundaries until they break. And if anyone tells him no, he’s going to throw a fit. What happens after that, will answer the question.

    But my initial comment, was about Trump’s character. Not if the union currently qualifies. I think how they start responding to mass protests in the spring will let us know for sure.

    I fully expect state violence and suppression will be the response. At which point you can eat all of your words.








  • Following the 1932 Prussian coup d’état and the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, transgender movements, gathering places and institutions, such as the first homosexual movement, the Eldorado nightclubs, and the Institute for Sexual Science were dissolved, often by force. Both trans men and trans women were targeted under renewed enforcement of Paragraphs 175 and 183, and their transvestite passes were revoked or simply ignored. Books and texts relating to transgender experiences or medicine were destroyed as “un-German”.

    First of all, you are conflating forced experimentation with consensual medication.

    Second, you are discounting what is happening in the United States right now, and what happened at the beginning of Nazi Germany.

    Finally, I’m curious how you feel about plastic pollution. Because it’s hurting children. HRT is not.

    But bigots always are pretty mum on plastics and vocal about HRT, so I’m curious what your position is.




  • It depends on how you define addiction.

    They create physical withdrawal. But they’re not habit-forming as they have no direct action on dopamine.

    So… as physically addictive as coffee and less psychologically addictive than television.

    Anyway, they’re easy to get off of if you switch to one with a long half life (prozac) and taper from there. Easier to give up than caffeine. Or TV.
