(Submitter's note: find this in a Youtube comment section in a video on a channel I frequently watch and at first I agreed with him but once I began to think about it a bit more and find that it doesn't make much sense and honestly sounds similiar to older soviet propaganda saying anything that isn't pro-communist is fascist. But, moderators? do the quote count if its' from Youtube?)

It’s the same exact thing on YouTube, Instagram, etc.

What pisses me off is how Trumptard fascist get to keep their racist, fascist, pro Hitler comments, yet comments calling out their racism and fascism get removed.

I swear these tech companies are run by literal Nazis.

Also I should mention that the education system has been doing this same exact thing for a much longer time and more aggressively than these tech companies.

Like seriously my high school in Texas once blocked A Charlie Brown Christmas and classified it as “porn”, yet actual harassment gets blown away like it’s not important.

I personally blame the fascist corrupt CIA rigged education system for the actions of these tech companies. Schools taught these people to censor like a snowflake ❄️.

I’m getting really sick and tired of our fascist education system spreading far right wing pro war propaganda to students instead of actually showing us the actual truth of what actually happened in world history.

I blame the education system for all of the brainwashed right wingers that exist.

The only reason the that the education system covers MLK is because of profit and is used as a distraction to keep alert students from exposing the propaganda that is being spread by of fascist CIA controlled education system.

The education system is the reason there are so many idiot Trumptards and right wingers in the US.

Seriously, it pisses me off how MLK’s assassination is always said with no remorse.

It’s literally said like this is US history class: “He was assassinated in Memphis by a White Supremacist... ok next guy is US history.”

That is how the US education system describes this to students.

And sadly in 2020 it seems as if the education system’s “New Years Resolution” was to get even more corrupt, biased, fascist, greedy, etc.

I go to a garbage college called Lone Star College Montgomery in North Houston TX.

This past Thursday, January 16, 2020, I got a literal 50 on an assignment in my “Intro to Computers” class all because of my preferred mode of transportation regarding the driver.

It was trusted close friend vs Lyft driver that you don’t even know.

I chose close friend over Lyft driver.

It was a “would you rather...” type of assignments.

Setting:

You are a college student trying to get to class on time.

It’s raining form 8:30am to 2:00pm

I chose friend over unknown Lyft driver

Friend is stuck in heavy traffic while raining.

I still choose friend over Lyft because of obviously reason of trust.

I apparently fail the assignment simply because I did not ditch my friend for a Lyft driver.

This is how a 50 that I cannot recover from at all no matter how hard I try.

We have got to reform the education system so that student can learn the actual truth about world history and actually have a decent understanding on how to survive after high school and college.

#Reformtheeducationsystem

The education system is used by the US government to create more and more fascists.

Here is how they do it:

Step 1: Education system introduces us to the socialism=communism lie.

Step 2: The education system brainwashes students into believing that everything the the US government says is true

Step 3: Republicans say that Democrats are socialist

Step 4: Trump says socialism=communism and says that it’s bad... which recruits more Trumpets and Right Wingers.

Step 5: Repeat the first 4 steps infinitely.

Bernie Sanders is the only candidate that actually wants to truly reform the education system correctly.

#Bernieorbust2020

The education system is who I think is at the most at fault here.

Right now, we have a fascist far right wing education system that profits off of spreading far right wing pro war propaganda to students.

They constantly lie about policies and politics to us.

I’m a current college student attending a pathetic community college called Lone Star College Montgomery.

On Wednesday, November 6, 2019, the librarian basically told us that we can’t have opposing viewpoints on anything.

We are even forced to study people like Ellen, Bezos, and Bill Gates from an elitist point of view. And we have to take pro elected tests about them too.

This logic is taking a toll on our grades. Last week I typed and submitted an essay in English class about how equality and togetherness function in Denmark, Australia, and Finland.

Well... my grade dropped from 70 to 46 in under 12 hours. Then the following morning, my English attempted to say that I never turned the essay in... then she paused and said that I did turned it in... but she won’t except it simply because it’s not 900 words long. It was 488 words long.

On that week’s Friday I was struggling to figure out where the hell to submit my “late” essay in. So I decided to look at the feedback from the previous essay.

She said that I typed a “false essay” simply because it wasn’t 900 words long.

So basically, she was using the length of the essay to hide her bias from us.

Remember that whenever your teachers and professors complain about the essay’s length. They are just using their bias to screw you over.

I did eventually figure out how to submit the 900 word essay... and got a 50 on it.

Btw one thing that me and Greta both have in common in that we both happen to have Aspergers.

As someone who has Aspergers, I can say that people with autism are smarter, more aggressive, have a strong attention to detail, etc.

One thing I have to say is that I’m sick of people thinking that they can harass people simply because they are autistic.

I’m sick and tired of people thinking that they can control people with autism because they have a superior title over us. This is why I’m against power, positions of power, money, etc.

Also, our fascist education system seems to enjoy giving smart people like me with autism the lowest grades on assignments... while the dumbass conservatives and republicans are always getting the higher grades.

We need to fix the education system.

I’m attending a pathetic community college right now called “Lone Star College Montgomery” and I can tell you that both regular school and college are both corrupt.

In college algebra, we have to use this useless thing called ALEKS that we do 100% of our work on. I had to pay $68.19 just so I could continue to do my assignments otherwise I would be dropped from the course.

The worst aspect about it though is my “English” class

For an obvious reason, my “English” professor is constantly spinning the lessons in a way so that it’s basic Republican propaganda.

She constantly spouses Anti Bernie and Anti Obama propaganda to the point that the only way you can escape it is if you drop out... which harms your future.

Here are some of the things she says:

“Free college is a waste of time”

“Happiness is embarrassing”

“Bernie Sanders and Obama bad” (over exaggerated)

“The United States and Mexico live in “harmony”... but it’s not at all the exact same harmony that Denmark has.” 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

She even said that Denmark has no interest in combating climate change 🤦🏼‍♂️🖕🏻

And the worst part is that you have to side with the far right wing pro war propaganda in order to pass the class or be successful in life.

🖕🏻Our broken education system

In September 2019 I had to write a “journal” as a quiz over a book I read called “Hygge” that I had to read in the same English class. Here it is:

The first 135 pages of the “Hygge” book basically describes how the culture of Denmark functions and what certain things are called in Danish. There wasn’t really anything in the book that I didn’t already know about Denmark. I learned a lot of information on places like YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram. There will occasionally be a poster, usually people involved in politics or actual politicians, that describe how Denmark and other countries like Denmark have similar priorities that differ significantly from the United States in a good way.

There are several ways that Danish culture differs from American culture. Most of the differences involve the priorities between Denmark’s social democratic government, and the capitalist system of the United States. In Denmark, the price you pay for the taxes may be more expensive than in the United States, but Denmark uses their tax money to help their citizens, unlike the United States.

Denmark’s education system ranks in the top five nations of the world, with Finland’s education system being number one, while the education system of the United States is below 35. This is because Denmark actually teaches proper nonprofit education to their students. However, in the United States has a for profit education system that focuses on teaching ‘education’ to students only for profit, which causes the system to fail in actually teaching students real education.

Turns out that me and Greta, 2 people that have Aspergers, are smarter than a college professor. 😎

I should add that we the people of this world need to unify as human beings.

(some lines later, someone asks for more evidences of his claim; although the guy who ask for it does seem like someone who could appear on this site at somepoint... He calls Greta a "twit"....)

jfuite:
@Quaid Johnson That was not an argument to my points, nor an answer to my questions.

And, by the way, our education system dramatically skews to the left, not the right. Most teachers are lefties and most professors are lefties. That is simply a social fact. I will offer you a reliable social science source upon request.

Quaid Johnson:
jfuite Good lord.

It amazes me how many people cannot see that the education system is fascist and leans to the far right, not the left or neutral.

It just shows how many people have been brainwashed by the system.

In an effort to move to a greener existence, I recently switched to an ecological toothbrush. As I have been living uniquely from solar panels for almost two years, I was forced to ditch my electric toothbrush. In choosing an ecological toothbrush, I studied materials, as well as the advantages of recycled plastic brushes versus those with replaceable heads. In the end, I had to eliminate every single option aside from the single one I chose. Yes, I had to exclude that which did not meet my personal standards and convenience.

I think a lot about exclusion these days. The #MeToo campaign which emerged in reaction to the sexually aggressive acts of Harvey Weinstein is clearly a female-centered campaign. But recently I’ve seen arguments that #MeToo should be extended to include males. While being “inclusive” of everyone might seem like a nice idea, the reality is that there are perfectly rational reasons for exclusivity in many situations. Our shared experiences with certain humans help us form bonds where and when we need them. These bonds can often make life bearable for those experiencing particularly painful moments in their lives. Commonalities help to create community. The truth is that all communities are exclusive, in one way or another, of individuals who don’t share certain experiences or requisites. While some might be tempted to argue exclusion equates to segregation, such arguments are very much apples and oranges, particularly in the context of women’s rights.

There are several key differences which should be underscored, when discussing “exclusion” in the women’s liberation movement, beginning with the myth that feminism must focus on males. Thanks to liberal feminists like Emma Watson, among others, many women have been made to believe that arguing for the inclusion of males in the women’s movement is a worthwhile cause. But any group in protest of its oppression by another group is within its rights to demand that the oppressor not be included in its organizing. For instance, when labour unions secured the legal right to represent employees in 1935, employers were excluded from the class of employees because it was understood that employers (as well as managers and supervisors) held power over workers. In terms of economic class, it seems that most people are on the same page when understanding which group holds power over another.

Similarly, civil rights advocacy began with the premise that there is social inequality between people of colour and white people, making a necessary distinction between who is being oppressed under white supremacy. Robbing a person of the right to distinguish the oppressor class means that she is barred from speaking about and identifying her oppression.

Nobody expected the Black Panthers to consider the marginalization of KKK members from their organization for good reason. Similarly, no such claim of exclusion was made about the Million Man March in Washington D.C. in 1995, when approximately 400,000 African American men converged en masse in the nation’s capital to engage in teach-ins, worship services, and community organizing. While there was a discussion over the fact that women were excluded, there was also recognition that black men had the right to gather without women to discuss their issues, and this action was largely supported by African American women. Two years later, the Million Woman March was held in D.C. to focus on issues specific to women.

This sort of exclusion is not based in hatred or a desire to do harm. Exclusion is how we decide, like me and my ecological toothbrush choices, what meets our needs. Exclusion is not necessarily about owning a card to an elite club — it is about setting a particular direction for an individual, group, activity, community, and so forth. All social groups exclude in some way. While I am a big believer in reaching over the aisle to dialogue with those responsible for our subordination, I also recognize the need of any group to make decisions within its group before reaching across that aisle.

Does the fact of breast cancer support groups for women mean that males cannot get breast cancer? Of course not. And there are breast cancer support groups for males. Why? Because males and females experience breast cancer differently. Commonalities between same-sexed bodies are part of the social intimacy that both males and females alike cherish across cultures. Be it in the hammam or the steam room, the hospital ward, or the changing room at the gym, there is intimacy between people of the same sex that provides a space of security and dignity. Females especially value these spaces because the public sphere is not safe for women. Being in a female-only changing room can offer women a needed reprieve from the daily sexualization of their bodies, and from unwanted male attention and judgment.

The issue of “exclusion” has become a touchpoint for the left in recent years. Most notably, we have seen exclusion being derided as bigotry in trans activist circles where women who say they would not feel comfortable with a male in their change rooms, their women’s shelters, or in a women’s prison are labelled transphobic. Yet both these examples come from real life paradigms. In 2007, Vancouver Rape Relief Society won a case against Kimberly Nixon, a trans-identified male who had attempted to join the training group for peer counsellors at the women’s shelter.

Nixon was asked to leave the group account of having been born male, and because the shelter operated on the basis that women could best counsel other women, having had the specific experience of growing up female under patriarchy. The B.C. Court of Appeals’ decided that Vancouver Rape Relief had the right to determine its own membership, as any oppressed group of people has the right to “discriminate” when organizing in their own interests, as a class. Currently pending in Texas is the case of three female inmates who are suing Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth, claiming that, “They are living in a degrading and dangerous environment by being forced to share showers and bathrooms with the transgender inmates.” The truth is that, for most women, sex does matter. What is more remarkable is that males who claim to have an internal “female identity” have zero compassion for or comprehension of the reality women face in a male supremacist world, and would prefer women put aside their own material reality, comfort, and safety in order to validate men’s feelings.

Choosing a female gynecologist or desiring a female-only space for changing is not meant to incriminate all males as, to paraphrase George W. Bush, “evil doers.” Rather, a woman might choose a female gynecologist both because she feels a woman would better understand her body, but also because she feels safer in that vulnerable state with someone statistically unlikely to assault them. Women’s desire to change in a locker room without male-bodied persons would likely be based on something similar, as well as a desire to maintain healthy boundaries that too often go unrespected. In excluding males from female spaces, women are demanding that society accept the healthy boundaries of women, even if, in certain scenarios, males might wish to be on the other side of the line.

Last week, Bustle ran a story arguing that “some members of LGBTQ community feel that the [#MeToo] campaign focuses too strongly on the gender binary and seems to erase nonbinary or genderqueer people from the conversation.” But what this statement really conveys is that males feel excluded from a conversation lead by women speaking out about male violence. While I would not deny that males experience violence, it is overwhelmingly violence inflicted by other males. What makes #MeToo important is that violence against women and girls is coded into the structural social hierarchy. When women contribute their #MeToo stories, they are doing so as females who have, from childhood, been groomed as objects that exist for male use.

It cannot be overstated that females suffer disproportionate levels of sex-based discrimination and violence, including sexual harassment, domestic violence, rape, and trafficking. Women are quite aware that they are discriminated against and physically abused because of their sex, regardless of how they may feel, internally, about the gender roles imposed on them. It is entirely insignificant, for example, how the over 200 women who James Toback sexually harassed identified. To demand that #MeToo include non-binary people is to miss the point of the feminist movement: feminism has from its inception been explicitly about breaking the hierarchy and stereotypes reinforced through gender which demanded women not leave the house, not vote, and not work. It is not the “binary” that is the problem so much as it is gender itself, under patriarchy. Men who rape women don’t care whether their victims feel “binary” or not.

What Bustle would like is for women to use a language that is seemingly more neutral, less politically objectionable, and more inclusive— of males. Otherwise there would be no uproar with focusing specifically on women’s voices and experiences in this campaign. Males insisting on being “included” in women’s social protest against sexism is just more of the same sexism — women are being instructed to shut up about their oppression by males unless they include males. Beyond that, under patriarchy, women are always under pressure to be sexually available to men. This new language of “inclusion” that frames “exclusion” as inherently harmful has led to males who identify as transgender to insist that women include them not only in their groups and politics, but in their beds. That this is explicitly sexist is made clear through the fact that I have yet to see any male who identifies as trans pressure heterosexual men into sleeping with him.

A narrative that insists on coercing or goading women into including their oppressor is anything but progressive. Likewise, insisting that the language of gender neutrality is what matters in a conversation about sexual violence is far from revolutionary. Taking up the five-cent terms like “non-binary” and “queer” will have no impact on the facts of sex-based oppression for females. The challenge we face as a society is not to carpet bomb women’s movements with accusations of “exclusivity” and “bigotry” when women recognize that males and females are different and have different needs. Creating linguistic games might seem avant-garde to undergraduates, but the reality is that gender is what prescribes the behavioral cues engrained in females throughout their lives. Gender is what is hammered into females as a class, rendering them subjects of a discourse they have no power to respond to. The notion that gender can ever be neutral is patently absurd since gender is not the solution. It is the problem.

Changing language to be “be more inclusive” is counter-revolutionary and pretending that such language does anything other prevent women from effectively organizing towards their own liberation is delusory. The language of gender inclusivity does nothing to dismantle the social and political inequalities that females face. It does, however, create a lovely illusion (especially for men who want to seem progressive in their attempts to thwart our movement): that saying “genderqueer” makes one a “feminist.”
