    Propaganda works

    I’ve always said that if you really wanted communism or socialism to take off in the states you’re gonna have to call it something else

    I also don’t use cis because the machine has already made that a thing people don’t want to be called

      I don’t mind being called a cis male, but I’m secure in my sexuality and manhood. Conservatives not so much.

            … For what reason?

            Not being too sarcastic, but what makes you think we’d be interested in a backwater planet full of hairless great apes?

              Considering what we are already doing to ourselves with just conventional weapons, aliens might want to sterilize the planet out of fear of the threat we will become on the galactic stage

      Yeah, straight/heterosexual people didn’t want to be called that, either. They want being cis and heterosexual to just be “normal” and any variation to be abnormal. Fuck that, they’ll do the same thing to whatever euphemism you pick instead.

        It might have something to do with the word ‘cis’ being used as a slur and a form of othering early on
