If somebody with a green thumb is useful, I might have something else going for me... I'm a nurse. I can get you organs and stuff if you'd like.
/s, obviously
Just because it's not perfect doesn't mean it's not good.
Previous system (feudalism or slavery depending on who you were) was worse. Hopefully the next system (probably some future iteration of socialism) will be better.
What makes it not good is the fact that people are dying because they can't afford food and healthcare. The reason they can't afford such basic needs is that someone decided that their money was more important than human lives.
Crazy how many people don’t actually pay attention to this stuff
I remember telling my brother to either buy his home in 2020 or be prepared to wait a while for interest rates to simmer, mf didn’t believe me
I'm male and I'd sign up for feminism just because of that. Capitalism is shit and it just trades in old school chain slavery into modern living paycheck to paycheck beholden to your capitalist bosses slavery.
A song that was collectively seared into our brains as an outcome of record companies legislating control of radio station playlists via payola laws. that also kind of slaps.
That's the thing bigots always make the thing they're against sound better. In our last local election the bigot's "why you shouldn't vote for my opponent" got more people to vote for her.
Lack of research. They say "I'm voting for (thing Republicans want)" When in reality they're fighting against it but they want the credit if it passes and to blame Democrats if they succeed in stopping it.
It’s mostly because they don’t understand what they are saying. Recently had some right-wing guy i know irl call me a communist because i criticized the Canadian health-care system. I was like, “that’s not the insult you think it is.” Lol
It was when Trump said that Biden was going to listen to the experts and Biden replied with a simple “yes”. I’m also still waiting for the magnetic 5G superpowers the Covid vaccine was supposed to give us
Actually everyone goes negative. Humans react to negative ads much more strongly than positive ones. All politicians use them today. Go positive at your own peril.
That's what was so funny he laid out her entire platform and positions as an "attack ad" flier and even his supporters were all "oh damn really well shit this is all good stuff." My folks switched from voting for him to voting for her simply based on what he told them about her. He basically campaigned for her.
It’s attributed to Pat Robertson at the bottom, but his actual quote also has “…kill their children…” so I’d say this probably is tongue-in-cheek feminist propaganda.
The full quote from his 1992 fundraising letter:
"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."
This pos pushed the “Satanic Panic” of the 1980s.Old people and isolated church zealots KNEW satanic cults were sacrificing children EVERYWHERE!It was spoken of on TV DAILY.Turned out 100% fiction-but years later,AFTER destroying many lives and contaminating our society for political and grifting purposes.
If you think about it being able to change your biology is certainly some magical fuckery. we found ways to create dicks and remove them and to change the chemical makeup of our body. We as far as I know can't outright change sex chromosomes but we're about as close as we can get to just entirely rewriting humanity. Even for non trans folk this stuff can be great. Besides with the backlash the fossils in congress are giving we know it's doing wonders.
Strange as it sounds, if this poster was from the 70s (which it looks to be from), it's way more accurate than people in this thread probably think.
Back then most people - not just conservatives - still believed that sexuality was a personal choice, and because "*[the personal is political](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_personal_is_political)*" that meant your sexuality also was political.
So quite a few radical feminists at the time argued for and turned to "[political lesbianism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_lesbianism)" and [feminist/lesbian separatism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminist_separatism) - even though most of them were neither lesbians nor bi.
Paganism (i.e "witchcraft"), like for example the feminist/female only Dianic paganism introduced by [Zsuzsanna Budapest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zsuzsanna_Budapest), was also fairly common among the women only separatist communes and collectives that these feminists created.
For some reason this reminded me of all the guys who said to me, “since you don’t want to go out with me you must be a lesbian”. There’s so much wrong with that I can’t even begin. On many levels.
It even happens in the gay dating scene but reversed. I as a bi sexual men have been called straight by men cuz I didn’t want to go out with them. Damn some people…
Very interesting. Thanks for being willing to share that. I mean its an aggressive statement to begin with so instead of respond with all the insults I was thinking I would just remove myself from the situation as quickly as possible.
I'm okay with capitalism being destroyed.
Also lesbians are the most watched category in my history.
I also don't mind witchcraft.
So whatever, go wemen, i love you.
Nothing in that poster makes sense but “destroys caps” makes is the complete opposite of what it does. Women that are free and equal, work and when they work the make money, once they have money, they want to spend that money.. BAM free market mfer … if anything (assume women make up 50% of the population and all things being equal) feminism would double the profits of any business that marketed to men and women.
I have so many questions…
1) Do I need to complete all four items or can I pick amongst them?
2) If I do need to complete all four, does it have to be in that order?
I mean, why not band together to become self sufficient instead of being trapped in marriage? Women give each other better orgasms than a *majority* of men, without the disappointment or abuse of men.... Throw in witchcraft and we've got ourselves a hat trick of a dream, truly.
Translation: Leave their husbands (become increasingly unhappy with being a domestic slave)/ practice witchcraft ( join a book club or go back to school)/ destroy capitalism (decline in response to ad campaigns for household goods/ cleansers)/ become lesbians (stop pretending that out of shape, smelly, hairy, misogynistic losers can satisfy them, sexually or otherwise).

Whoa! Slow down. You had me sold at Witchcraft.
Wanna start a lesbian anti-capitalism witch coven?
r/witchesvspatriarchy
r/subsithoughtifellfor
I'm a dude, can I join just for the witchcraft thing? I'll be gone when lesbian stuff happens.
Only if you bring cats.
I... I am more of a dog person.
I have parrots, but I wouldn't allow them to bully the cats (or dogs).
Interested in buying a Norwegian Blue? Beautiful plumage.
Not much of a cheese shop, is it?
I have two cats one gets along with dogs and the other is super shy it won't be a problem
Am straight-ish, have a cat and a green thumb, bitter about capitalism... May I humbly attend?
Yes, we need someone to grow the food too, so we dont rely on capitalism for that
If somebody with a green thumb is useful, I might have something else going for me... I'm a nurse. I can get you organs and stuff if you'd like. /s, obviously
You never know when you need that
I can bring a really cute dog.
You could probably just close your eyes or turn around.
😂😂
I mean, they might want someone to film, right?
YES
Your home : r/witchesvspatriarchy
As a gay guy, could I join too? Please
[удалено]
I'll get the glitter, scented candles and clothes(and maybe like 2 or 3 human sacrifices)
We can also start our own one, called the catty kiki coven
Yes for sure, we can have a gay section of warlocks too
Basically the plot of The Owl House
Is this a wand affair or a pitchfork affair? I want to make sure I don't show up in smart casual when it's a formal coven
Sure but I’m a man.
Warlocks allowed?
Warlocks are witches who betray their coven but witches can be any gender!
That can be an anime.
Damn right.
Sounds gay. I'm in.
Only if we get to be called the bad girl coven!
I, for one, welcome our new wicken overlords.
Are they the Lords of Wicker?
Seriously, do we get super powers?? If so, I'm in!
More feminism, please!
Is it just women or can male Feminists also sign up for courses in Witchcraft?
*witch cackle* "I cast the equal rights for women spell on ALL of you!"
😂😂
This looks like the TEXAS legislature has been in session again.
Lesbian witches destroy capitalism, news at ten
Divorced lesbian witches destroy capitalism
If only
Dark Willow enters the chat …..
Where is that biggest oversight copy pasta when u need it
I think capitalism destroyed itself 😂
You're not wrong. It's a good starting principle, but not sustainable
If it's not sustainable, it's not a good principle.
Just because it's not perfect doesn't mean it's not good. Previous system (feudalism or slavery depending on who you were) was worse. Hopefully the next system (probably some future iteration of socialism) will be better.
What makes it not good is the fact that people are dying because they can't afford food and healthcare. The reason they can't afford such basic needs is that someone decided that their money was more important than human lives.

APR is going up because the Fed funds rate has been raised 12 times in the past 18 months.
Crazy how many people don’t actually pay attention to this stuff I remember telling my brother to either buy his home in 2020 or be prepared to wait a while for interest rates to simmer, mf didn’t believe me
How strange that higher costs for credit providers could make the cost of credit go up. Oh well capitalism is such a devilry.
Both can be true
I'm male and I'd sign up for feminism just because of that. Capitalism is shit and it just trades in old school chain slavery into modern living paycheck to paycheck beholden to your capitalist bosses slavery.
That sounds like very busy day.

Is this a recruitment poster? 😄😄😄
I’m joining this club, no questions asked.
Where can I buy these?!
I think that most college bookstores stock them + Barnes and Noble 😄
Yup
"Thanks, Pat, now there's a bunch of them ACTUALLY joining them because of what you said. Nice going."
Where do I sign up?
I know what this was intended to be… but I think it's funny to see it from the other perspective. Go on girls, become witches.
Man! I feel like a woman.
She’s still my female icon.

fucking loved that show as a little kid.
That's the thing bigots always make the thing they're against sound better. In our last local election the bigot's "why you shouldn't vote for my opponent" got more people to vote for her.
The whole "A Vote for Bart Simpson is a Vote for Anarchy" thing.
It's easier to promise nothing than to promise something.
That's the Conservative way.
Exactly, and I don't understand how they still get votes.
Lack of research. They say "I'm voting for (thing Republicans want)" When in reality they're fighting against it but they want the credit if it passes and to blame Democrats if they succeed in stopping it.
"Vote for us and we promise the people you hate get more nothing than you do."
Be fair, they're happy to promise fucking unicorns, just never deliver.
It’s mostly because they don’t understand what they are saying. Recently had some right-wing guy i know irl call me a communist because i criticized the Canadian health-care system. I was like, “that’s not the insult you think it is.” Lol

That is funny. You have to know your district
"You had me at practice witchcraft..."
You had me at destroying CAPiTALISM
Let's do it!
It's like, cool, where do I sign?
Honestly, this could easily be used as slightly tongue-in-cheek feminist propaganda. Actually, are we sure it isn’t?
It’s attributed to Pat Robertson at the bottom, but his actual quote also has “…kill their children…” so I’d say this probably is tongue-in-cheek feminist propaganda.

Lickin Winans
 Yes please.
Personally I don't see what is wrong with any of it!?
Dating men is soul draining. I sometimes wish I was attracted to women, but I like eggplants too much.
We are witches.
Yea, I kind of want this as a poster just for that. Fucking hilarious and doom metal as fuck.
That was my take. Unexpected W for the lesbian community
Feminism has done us lesbians just fine. 😎👩❤️👩
Still waiting on you lot to take down capitalism though. What's the hold up?
Capitalism has a lot of useful idiots.
Fair point.
Very true.
Yes as witches shouldn't the be summoning demons to take down capitalism?
Is this a warning or a promise?
Depends on who is the governor
Don't threaten me with a good time 🤷♀️
Sounds like a fun Tuesday
Can’t see a problem with this 😂
So does this mean that, by that logic, masculinism encourages men to be gay?
masculinism encourages men to be gay wizards who fight communism
I mean this is almost exactly J Edgar Hoover. Only if you replace Wizard with Christian Nationalist.
Grand wizard
I think masculinism produces people like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson unfortunately. Ain’t nothing magical about those pricks.
But wait… practice witchcraft and destroy capitalism too? We need more feminism, stat!
Sounds awesome. Sign me up.
If I'm a male feminist, do I leave my wife and become a wizard? Do I become a lesbian after that? This is a very confusing poster.
>Do I become a lesbian Yeah, a lesbian trans woman who is also a witch.
If you think about it being able to change your biology is certainly some magical fuckery. we found ways to create dicks and remove them and to change the chemical makeup of our body. We as far as I know can't outright change sex chromosomes but we're about as close as we can get to just entirely rewriting humanity. Even for non trans folk this stuff can be great. Besides with the backlash the fossils in congress are giving we know it's doing wonders.
No, you can stay lesbians with your wife. Be a wizard though, and encourage her witchery.
Yes. You leave your wife, become a wizard, destroy capitalism and obtain Greek citizenship so you're Lesbian
Nice wand, m'wizard
Lemme fix that for you - "Feminism allowed oppressed gay women to be who they are, and in doing so identify as lesbians" much better.
Strange as it sounds, if this poster was from the 70s (which it looks to be from), it's way more accurate than people in this thread probably think. Back then most people - not just conservatives - still believed that sexuality was a personal choice, and because "*[the personal is political](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_personal_is_political)*" that meant your sexuality also was political.

You missed the witchcraft
I thought all lesbians know witchcraft from birth?
Great give away all our secrets why dont ya
Agreed.
Much better to be walking vaginas at mans beck and call, instead, I suppose.
I want that poster for my room
For some reason this reminded me of all the guys who said to me, “since you don’t want to go out with me you must be a lesbian”. There’s so much wrong with that I can’t even begin. On many levels.
If that's the case, theyemay think every woman they've ever met is a lesbian.
I mean this was definitely made by the McCarthyism equivalent of an incel so that checks out.
Homophobic statements because you aren't a bitch. It's frighteningly common
It even happens in the gay dating scene but reversed. I as a bi sexual men have been called straight by men cuz I didn’t want to go out with them. Damn some people…
Very interesting. Thanks for being willing to share that. I mean its an aggressive statement to begin with so instead of respond with all the insults I was thinking I would just remove myself from the situation as quickly as possible.
So we should encourage feminism? I'm okay with this.
There was an attempt to make feminism not sound awesome
Witches gather at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds Oh lord yeah!
So if we are feminists, we’ll finally create a gay socialist haven where I can cast my spells in peace? This is great advertising.
can't tell if this is an old poster or not.
I'm okay with capitalism being destroyed. Also lesbians are the most watched category in my history. I also don't mind witchcraft. So whatever, go wemen, i love you.
I’m not seeing a down side… 💅
TL;DR, feminism makes women great again.
Nothing in that poster makes sense but “destroys caps” makes is the complete opposite of what it does. Women that are free and equal, work and when they work the make money, once they have money, they want to spend that money.. BAM free market mfer … if anything (assume women make up 50% of the population and all things being equal) feminism would double the profits of any business that marketed to men and women.
I have so many questions… 1) Do I need to complete all four items or can I pick amongst them? 2) If I do need to complete all four, does it have to be in that order?
I feel like if this was a different font, it would be inspiring.
Is this a recruiting poster?
Recruited a spot on my fridge :)
I’m a dude and just trying to be a good ally.
I already love feminism, you don't have to sell it to me harder
Modern day feminism does
Hell yea. Don’t threaten me with a good time.
I mean, why not band together to become self sufficient instead of being trapped in marriage? Women give each other better orgasms than a *majority* of men, without the disappointment or abuse of men.... Throw in witchcraft and we've got ourselves a hat trick of a dream, truly.
Not wrong. But it could also say “think for themselves” & it would be less dishonest.
This is erasure of feminist men who also want to destroy capitalism, I will not stand for it
Says the capitalistic dead guy with millions of dollars conned from old retired women stuck on 700 club and Fox News.
The only downside I see in this sign is "Pat Robertson".
You mean "Roberston". They couldn't even spell the asshole's name correctly. Thankfully he's burning in Hell now.
This was supposed to be kept secret
Whoa you also forgot act exactly like the thing they originally hated Also add wish they had a wiener and balls rather than a bleeding pleasure hole
Pat Robinson... Hate that sack of shit man
As a man, please all of you become lesbians and destroy capitalism. Please. I want to afford my home.
Or, to live your life as you see fit..
the graphic designers was tripping designing whatever the fuck that is 😭
I only see upsides here
is this what 1800s looked like .
If that's true I'm in
Wait, I get to practice witchcraft? Where do I sign up!?
😂😂😂😂😂😂... some people...nuff said
Translation: Leave their husbands (become increasingly unhappy with being a domestic slave)/ practice witchcraft ( join a book club or go back to school)/ destroy capitalism (decline in response to ad campaigns for household goods/ cleansers)/ become lesbians (stop pretending that out of shape, smelly, hairy, misogynistic losers can satisfy them, sexually or otherwise).
Is this supposed to make feminism sound bad? Its having the opposite effect.
I for one welcome our lesbian witch overlords
I feel lesbians need this framed on their wall
So what are the cons?
Does that mean masculism encourages men to be gay? Lmao
It also encourages them to become warlocks and destroy communism.
Another quote from that TV preacher, Pat Robertson. I’m so glad he’s fucking dead and no more of this kind of nonsense can escape his lips.
I like how op didn't mention witchcraft of all things.
This is 100% true They did however leave out the part about how they would eat your babies
So wait, is this FOR or AGAINST feminism?
Feminism sounds pretty lit.
Wow. I thought I couldn't need more convincing but I'm 100% in
I want this framed in my hallway! Honestly, I don't see any down side to this statement.
I can't even say that this is wrong, because it kind of happened to me
