was more referring to the first part. how do you know? I'm going to go to really unreasonable lengths with this line of questioning, just so you know what you're getting into.

wanting that much money requires it.

having that much money also inflicts it on you.

no more billionaires. for their sake, as much as ours.

but they're not as loudly shitty to europeans about it.

no, most of the good canadian stuff would be fridge/freezer, or is already in another aisle. and im sorry, but mexican food is a contender for 'world's best'. canadian food is just fine; maybe ill crave poutine on a cold day.

edit, to canadians: losing a 'best cuisine' to mexico is like losing a boxing match to muhammad ali in his prime. there is no shame in this. they're just better than you. they're probably better than everybody.

fuck that's such a good idea. mexican food is so much better, and better for you.

dunno, but I've been an anarchist for a while, and I feel it every time I see someone stand up to these assholes I paid taxes to, that one time I made enough money to pay taxes.

solidarity with the free, or at least hoping-to-be-less-constrained, peoples of the world, certainly. we need something shorter.

i also find an odd kind of half solidarity with my ancestors who fought in the second world war, against what america is trying to be, and sort of always was, but were very much flag waving 'rarara america' patriots the rest of their lives at the same time.

point being that the non-shitty people from this awful shit hole country aren't going to begrudge anyone ditching the awful garbage that gets made here. 'made in america' mostly means prison slaves anyway. edit:the people who make the decisions and own the stuff here have no common interest with the common people. we are all bludgeoned or manipulated into not putting up a fight. which isn't to say there aren't enough insane fanatics and bloated military budget to be a serious threat to the free world, but, like, please fuck our shit up. it's not like any of us ever see any benefit from it anyway.

how would you know though?

right. he is not The Most Racist Man Alive.

part of it is that straight cis and especially white men were targeted by nazi radicalization pipelines starting really hard in the 00's on every major algorithm driven media platform, social and otherwise. queers mostly dodged that, partially because the character of modern racism tends to be paired with homophobia, and you can't really nourish that socially without catching a lot of shit for being queer, but also because it just wasn't targeted at us. they wanted little reinhardt heidrichs, not little ernst rohms, especially because the nazis had been working to recruit evangenlical christians for decades. evangelical christians: anti quer first, racist second. being racist and queer must be so fucking disempowering.

but also, we're more resistant to it. part of the experience of being queer is stepping outside of norms, and to whatever degree swimming against the current, opting into a more marginal difficult position because it's right/feels good/lets you genuinely survive without fucking killing yourself. and all of that makes being an open bigot a lot harder. not impossible, but harder. plus, we tend to be farther left politically because the conservative edifice of the nuclear family as nucleus of society has historically excluded a lot of us from society, and pushing that shit on someone who you want to fuck whose family threw them out is not a good way to get laid, even if yours was cool about it.

there's also that genocide the american christofascists did to us within living memory. some people are still kinda bitter about that. many of the institutions and social forms we created to cope are still kicking around.

'criminal justice' would be cool; we should try it sometime. closest I've seen was pinned on some italian dude in new york.

also, mexico's cartel problem MAY have been started, or at least seriously ramped up, by the CIA-it's exactly their SOP, and it got seriously bad like right after a teacher's strike in oaxaca got juuuust a little too much popular support, started looking really communist.

queers are a lot less likely to do this shit though. for various reasons, many of them based around a much clearer self interest rather than some innate superiority. not that we aren't also innately superior to the hets.

speaking as a lesbian: I am not and have never dated the most racist man alive. QED.
