      How can I trust my government?

      As a trans man, my state strips more rights from me everyday. I can be discriminated against in housing or employment. With a recent executive order, I could be arrested for having the “wrong” letter on my drivers license. The federal government is doing NOTHING to keep LGBT folks in southern states safe.

      Fuck, in Oklahoma, a transgender child was murdered and the state government was allowed to cover it up! They can kill us and there will be no consequences.

      That’s the point. If you make everything clearly shit enough, there will not be resistance to people saying “this is all shit let’s rip it up and just make a mess”, because that’s how you make the most grotesque profits, because profit is made through exploitation.

        This is spot fucking on.

        Whoever the downvote was is an ignorant patsy of the billionaire cult.

          Thanks! I’m on an instance where I can’t see downvotes. I’m also on an account where I block bad faith posters, so I don’t see those for long, either. I recommend it.
