Bisexuals who bring the straight relationship paradigm into dating or the bedroom. (Not all or most bisexuals, but damn, certainly some)
It’s mostly just really sad -men need to up their dating game, and a lot of straight sex expectations feel kinda rapey. Like girl it’s not normal for your partner to choke you in the middle of sex without asking or prenegotiation and it is weird that you were disappointed that I didn’t do that.

102·5 months agothere is no way Biden or Harris would have approved the 20 point genocidal plan in the article.
Biden straight up gave arms and support to Israel over his tenure, including after October 7th when the genocide intensified. Biden also supported the genocide.

A munch is just a social. People chat and stuff, kinky things don’t happen, and it is generally discouraged to use the space for cruising. Different munch dress codes vary from “be very normycore inconspicuous” to “be decent”

Jokes aside, a good start is to join a socialist org, participate, and start developing yourself politically. I believe cowbee has a good reading list.

Here is another helpful link, on citizen perception of the importance of democracy and whether their government is democratic.
It was founded by a former NATO secretary so it has a pro-western bias.

Here is a chart sourced from its its 2024 report. As you can see Chinese people have more faith in democracy and the democratic nature of their government than westerners do.
The whole brainwashing thing is nonsense, as Cowbee pointed out you misread the data on the 11 percent. It seems like you are misreading data to support your preconceived notions.

China is a democracy, even studies by conservative western institutions show Chinese people have higher satisfaction with their government, more belief in the importance of democracy, and more belief in the democratic nature of their government than western European and American citizens do for their own governments.
They have a more comprehensive democracy too. Consultative processes and deliberative processes are enshrined in institutions in a way that they are not within western bourgeois democracies.

If you don’t think China is democratic, what would they have to do in order to meet the definition?





I mean if you’re under feudal relations supporting capitalism makes you progressive, but right now we’re operating under socialized production with capitalists constraining production around exchange value so yeah supporting maintaining capitalism is right wing. Let socialized production benefit society.
