It’s also funny, because the US representative takes time to explicitly point out that the US voted against this resolution since it was first proposed in 2005.

US remarks start at 1 hour 57 minutes here: https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1r/k1r1ng1nb2

Oh, got it, it’s a Third Committee vote. UN press release: https://press.un.org/en/2024/gashc4428.doc.htm

Disappointing they had to add paragraph 4 again

Can you provide a source for the vote? The best I can find is 78/190 from last year (source: https://research.un.org/en/docs/ga/quick/regular/78) and that resolution had contained this unfortunate clause, which many of the countries had spoken after their vote to disassociate from:

4. Notes with alarm that the Russian Federation has sought to justify its territorial aggression against Ukraine on the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism, and underlines that the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism;

Excerpt of China’s statement, for instance:

We are deeply concerned about the practice by a small number of countries of politicizing certain agenda items in the Third Committee. In view of that, China dissociates itself from the consensus on paragraph 4 of resolution 78/190.

In addition, that vote doesn’t match the map you provide.

Also the United States’ remarks on 78/190 were very telling:

We also do not need to repeat our long-standing position on this annual resolution. We have been one of several countries to vote against it from the very beginning.

I wonder if there are any theoretical works that actually dive deeper into the connection between the cultural aspects for LGBTQ+ people and compulsory cisheterosexuality.

If it weren’t for the ableist framing, Redditor being in the illegitimate category is a take I would agree with.

The Coke vs. Pepsi part by itself could easily have been reposted with the title “Ah yes, the two genders” as an ironic trans meme though

You can use the LGBTQIA+ Wiki if you’re curious about a term, for instance: https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Genderqueer

Yes, I said most for a reason: gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, and asexual (5 out of 8, a majority) are sexualities.

The other three are definitely not: Intersex refers to physical sex traits, and the other two (transgender and genderqueer) do actually relate to gender identity in some way.

And even if it had been like what the reporting would have you believe: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/6185867

Not that this meme is intended for accuracy anyways, but just want to point out most of the ones in “genders” are actually sexualities

Yes, finally. We love to see it, folks!

I’ll be honest, I stole this from R*ddit. I don’t know why OOP did that.

That’s a good take, thanks for sharing

and found a really nuanced good take on religion, a debunking of what Marx meant by “Opium for the masses”

Curious what the take was if you don’t mind sharing

Translation: It hypothetically could recover faster but these people want to make sure it doesn’t

That’s the main story here. What kind of side quest do you think OP was talking about? The gender reveal?

Better meme template: Get an image of all the major US sources saying that

This is by design to keep you focused on the popularity contest instead of actual change

Fun fact, c’est hexbear qui défédère … Fais un minimum d’effort d’honnêteté intellectuelle

Hexbear still federates with you as everyone can see at https://hexbear.net/instances, and you still federate with Hexbear as everyone can see at https://jlai.lu/instances. We’d appreciate it if you represent the facts accurately before accusing us of intellectual dishonesty. (As an aside, if I have somehow erred in checking this, please feel free to correct me.)

Je comprend pas, personne veut parler avec moi alors que moi j’ai pas de problème pour parler avec eux. Ça doit être le monde entier le problème.

Did we ever say it’s the whole world? There are still mainstream instances that continue to federate with us.

If some of the instances believe that our explicit Marxist viewpoint is too extreme for them (and this has not come without dissent from their userbase, such as with lemmy.world defederation), then it actually is their problem.

It’s a platform question. The communists created Lemmy, so we have established sites here that can resist defederation, but the far-right never was able to really take hold in the same way since defederation would be a bigger punishment to them (Truth Social being an exception to this rule) and they already have platforms anyways.

According to Wikipedia, the founder was a leader of the “People’s Alliance for Democracy” which even calls reactionary

I disagree. OP could definitely say that Kamala supports Israel.
