Didn’t the pope and Angelina Jolie show up in ukraine to demand that russia just let them go lol.

really does love their thought terminating cliches.

They’re going to claim that he’s using a devious russian trick called “reverse psychologista.”

But maybe being enslaved by Russia is more frightening?

I’m gonna need these people to define what they think slavery is.

I don’t think leftists think weight is exactly equivalent to class, race, gender or sexuality in terms of systemic oppression. That doesn’t mean that people don’t experience weight discrimination or fatphobia.

In the west, the working class is less likely to be able to afford nutritious food than the upper class. Food deserts are most common in impoverished communities and this is absolutely by design. It’s also worth mentioning that people can be both fat and malnourished. Malnutrition isn’t just caused by the quantity of food people eat, it can also be caused by a lack of quality. In the US in particular, many fat people are both poor and malnourished; there really isn’t a contradiction here.

Cooking your own meals and building an effective exercise routine can be time consuming. People who need to sell their labour to survive generally have less free time to spend on these kinds of tasks. Fatphobia is an issue that is more likely to impact the working class and marginalized communities, at least in the west.

There’s also a LOT of intersection between racial discrimination, fetishization and body shaming. The horrific objectification and exploitation of Saartjie Baartman is an (extreme) example of this but it isn’t difficult to find similar instances of this kind of hypersexualization and abuse directed towards minority women who don’t fit into a specific eurocentric idea of health or beauty. This also overlaps pretty heavily with medical discrimination, which Othello already mentioned.

“Um, actually, I think you’ll find that Romani are beneath Romanians on this helpful chart.”

I’m half convinced that it’s a bunch of people who are offended that the OP dared to confuse the Roma with Romanians.

Did anybody have anarcho-collaborationism on their 2024 bingo card?

There really isn’t a funnier condemnation of the American justice system than Alan Dershowitz. I understand that any “justice” system under capitalism is a farce and an abomination but even under those conditions, how the fuck did this guy become a successful lawyer? Everything that comes out of his mouth is either repulsive, incriminating or both.

Everyone knows that it’s not really a genocide unless the people committing it agree that it is.

“Interacting” with the sun is just skin cancer, especially for mayos.
