I can't sign up for a free trial; it requires a credit card and no sane bank in the world is gonna give one to ME. Also, I gotta renew my CREEM subscription soon, via PayPal.

>> It didn’t even take an hour for the Trump campaign to send its first fund-raising email off of the indictment. An appeal at 7:45 p.m. began, “We are watching our Republic DIE before our very eyes.” Trump has been struggling for campaign cash, and his first indictment, in Manhattan, briefly turbocharged his online fund-raising. <<
I watched the "Republic" DIE before my very eyes on Jan. 6 2021, thank you.

But not cryptobullcrap. And not much different to making an ordinary online bank transfer. A great alternative for those of us who don't have your fancypants credit card.

Im just terrified for the future of LGBTQIA+ people in America, I hate that my existence is political and is argued over when we just want to be able to be our authentic selves. We're so demonized by so many people, and I don't feel safe here. I might be in a better area, but it still bothers me that people that are also part of the community are suffering so much.

I've been following these developments through various channels now. It seems to be especially gnarly in the states, what with all the openly hateful rhetoric making the rounds, restrictive and actively dangerous regional policies being proposed and introduced and all of the godawful conspiracy disinformation BS. Unfortunately, similar developments can be seen around Europe - if in smaller doses sometimes. TERF-dom and related apologia has invaded the mainstream and some very well-established media outlets in the UK. Here in Austria, the most prominent far right party recently staged a "protest" to disrupt a harmless and pretty fun reading of stories to kids by a drag performer. Fortunately, the counter-protesters outnumbered them vastly and the event went through uninterrupted. But the seeds are there and there's an ominous air permeating many conversations right now. I hope these developments can be stopped/curtailed somehow. Good to hear you are in a better area though. It's important to have a community/people who have your back. Especially in trying times such as these. |

I have a Visa DEBIT card, certainly, but I never have any money in the bank, except for that glorious day of the month when I receive my microscopic disability pension, at which point I send all the coins to my PayPal account. It's the best way to pay on Bandcamp, Discogs, eBay, and a billion other places; and when it's not accepted (Amazon, for instance), I ask a friend of mine to order for me, and then I pay him back using... PayPal, you follow. (ETA: Amazon does not care for my debit card, even though it's valid internationally.)
The reason I need a CREDIT card is that often ultra-limited editions are announced and you gotta act real damn quick, and with $0 in my bank account for most of the month that's not possible. It's too bad a psycho piece of shit like Thiele created PayPal, but I have no alternative.

on the other hand, these issues are used as a wedge in the culture wars and the attention they get is out of proportion with their impact. and it has to be a scary thing and a royal pain in the ass to be used like cannon fodder, whether it's politics or actual war. but when it comes to war, courage and endurance are not enough, and strategy is paramount. so, what's the strategy? |

It's such a huge thing in here too, there's such a huge stigma that Drag Queens are pedophiles and want to hurt people, when infact it's the opposite. A lot of them have had experiences like that themselves and just want to teach kids positivity and bond witht heir community, and drag queen story times in libraries are a lot safer than other places like out schools for example. Shootings in school started to become a more frequent thing when I was in elementary school, and it's terrifying having to worry about that at such a young age, all through school and seeing it happen everywhere. My state has had 8 shooting this year, it's a huge problem. I could keep ranting about what I hate about living here, but I could have it worse.

I'm not really sure, I think we would have to find the center as to why people are acting like this, and I think it's fear. Fear of something that isn't a norm for someone that is looking in from the outside. So, what do they do in return? They shoot fear right back at us. It's a viscous cycle and it needs to be broken.

there is in the "left" these days a sense of "if you're not with us you're against us," which is unfortunate because nobody is allowed to ask questions. if you express any doubts or ignorance you're branded a fascist. so when forced to choose between maoism and fascism, many have turned to fascism. me i've tried to cling to the unfashionable center where rationality and debate should still be paramount. and i lean left, but center-left is not a very vocal population right now. everybody is afraid of "saying the wrong thing" and being branded an enemy of the left. meanwhile there are those who embrace the brand instead, and flee to the other end of things where they are made to feel welcome, even if they did not start as extremists in the first place. likewise, nazism rose as a reaction to communism. their burning of the reichstag was blamed on communists. and the herd ate it up. |
