Take That, Human Traffickers

The Tate Bros (Andrew & Tristan) of internet misogyny and international sex crime fame were arrested today, for extradition to the UK!  Due to their close association with the junior maga / amerikkkan hitler youth movement, they had access to Merrill Oggo, and had every reason to feel safe in Florida.  Still, it happened there.  I would not put it past shitler to keep the extradition from being consummated, from blueballing his flying monkeys in the uk government, but I also wouldn’t put it past him to sell his lesser homies out for a single chicken nugget.

Good luck to the side of justice, and good riddance to those particular fucking pieces of shit.  I wish they’d never gotten out of the romanian prison, but this’ll do.

Do Not Reblog Callouts of Transwomen

I’ll have a lot more to say about this when I have time to knock together an essay, but right now there’s a lot of rumors and callouts and harassment of trans women going on.  Some of it looks quite justified, doesn’t it?  Breitbart’s “black crime watch” looked pretty reasonable from a certain point of view as well.  Just think twice, maybe don’t reblog that shit if you see it.  Thanks.

Fascism is Misogynist First

You can imagine a fascism without misogyny.  Many have, especially misogynist fiction writers in the 20th century – see the alien world where men have been enslaved by vixens in silver lamé.  Leaving aside that frivolous example and just daydreaming, you can see it, right?  Not from Shitler.  Maybe his sidekick, Couchfuck McBeardnazi, could in some world in some way be totally respectful to women, keep them close in his counsel in the tower of Mordor, march arm in arm with them to burn and oppress.  In practice, it never happens.  Misogyny is a first principle of fascism, in spirit and deed if not always in word.  As it happens, we also have it in word here.

As primary caregivers under patriarchy, women are primary authority figures over children.  To keep peace, rule one for the unruly kinder is “be nice to each other.”  Don’t hit people, think about their feelings.  Basic liberalism born of practicality.  To forge a brave new world without mercy, where violence can be wielded without restraint by the cool sexy stormtroopers, we must first remove the authority of anyone who would tell you to play nice.  We must chain mom to the house and beat her if she dares to speak.

Maybe that’s it?  Maybe not.  I’m sure you can find dozens of essays from antifascists like Umberto explaining the principle, or even writing from fascists telling on themselves.  I wonder if, in some unrealized golden future where all prejudices and bases of oppression are falling away one by one, misogyny may be the last one to fall.  Far more than racism, antisemitism, transphobia, etc, it has traitors within the oppressed group lining up to enforce its agenda.  Misogynist women are the fucking pits.  Not that there aren’t racist members of oppressed races, antisemitic jewish people, and transphobic trans people, because there are.  It just seems like a worse issue with women’s rights.

I haven’t been perfect on feminism by any means, especially the deeper you go into my foolish past (pre-blogging), and am not trying to pose like a saint of the practice.  Just pointing some shit out.  The real meaning of “woke” is “maintaining awareness of oppression, especially for self-defense.”  I want the world to wake up to the insidious omnipresence of misogyny and do some real shit about it.  We persist in our fascist coma.  Big sigh.
