Reminder for my fellow Europeans;

It’s as bad here as in the United States, and, in some cases, worse.

The world's deadliest migrant border is ours.

We actually built that wall.

We have the large migrant camps.

We deport migrants to authoritarian regimes outside of our own borders, and pay those regimes to keep them there.

Women's rights are under assault everywhere, including in so-called 'liberal’ countries like the Netherlands.

Same for LGBTQI+ rights.

TERFs are basically a European invention.

Most elections are won and lost on migration, 'anti-woke’ hate, etc.

We are just as racist, sexist, *phobic, etc.

Wake TF up 🚮

@sindarina TERFs are not a EU invention. They definitely are a US invention going back to the mid-1970s destruction of the original radical feminism movement.

The current resurgence of TERFism since Obergefell (marriage equality, Supreme Court of the US) is almost entirely due to the combined efforts of patriarchal authoritarian reactionaries joining forces and money with TERFs in the US and UK (with the influence of prominent celebrities egging them on).

Re: ‘TERFs are basically a European invention’, since that seems to confuse people; Modern TERFism, in this century, is very much British-led, and the UK is still in Europe, even if some of the inhabitants of TERF Island would prefer not to be. 'European' isn't ‘EU’, here, but Western Europe. I know about second wave radfems, see; https://goblin.technology/@dgold/statuses/01JNXJTHBBNR9J6NKGQVX8AJK0 And my reply; https://ngmx.com/@sindarina/114133326022194460 I also know that Viv Smythe is an Australian; https://hachyderm.io/@lulu/114138762593338427 And my reply; https://ngmx.com/@sindarina/114138802966290622 Plus the #DontPayTheGuardian thread; https://ngmx.com/@sindarina/110001922206762674 TL:DR; JKR, Greer, Bindel, Joyce, all their collaborators.
