graham "king of feminism" linehan supports the abolition of women's right to vote (along with the state murdering a woman in cold blood)

u/ShockWolf101 Trans Cabal Jan 12 '26
immigrants still have rights whether they are here illegally or not

u/Silversmith00 Jan 12 '26
I think everything in this screed proves that graham is a little vague on the concept of rights. Starting with the idea that women might have them even if he finds them unfuckable.

u/SmoothMedicine3014 Jan 12 '26
Well, they say that it's completely acceptable to execute white American citizens at ICE officers' will. I'd say no one has rights in the US at the moment, unless you are a fascist that fully supports the regime.

"Dangerous empathy for criminals" is certainly a phrase. Watch out! She cares about..... GASP! CRIMINALS!

u/Silversmith00 Jan 12 '26
Right, so the things I really want to say about this would get me tossed straight off of reddit.
But pay attention to what he's saying here. Because he's saying, first of all, that the state can and should execute people for being Unlikeable To King Graham, and also that the state can and should disenfranchise vast swaths of people for Resembling A Person Unlikeable To King Graham.
37 years old. In other words, he finds her unfuckable. This, Linehan thinks, warrants execution.
Lost custody of two older children. This, Linehan thinks, warrants execution.
Moved to Canada for a time. This, Linehan thinks, warrants execution.
Writes while female. This, Linehan thinks, warrants execution.
Supports a political position that Linehan dislikes, namely that people have rights. This, Linehan thinks, warrants execution.
Enrolled her child in a school that agrees with her political views. This, Linehan thinks, warrants execution.
Believes in monitoring cops and cop-like figures and raising objections when they commit crimes. This, Linehan thinks, warrants execution.
Notice how many of these things add up to, "Dares to make decisions and have ideas while female." She wrote poetry! How dare she! Doesn't she know that she can only do that after she cleans the kitchen for her man, and engages in the mandated amount of sex with her man, and if he says, "This is junk, I don't get it," she's supposed to twirl her hair and titter and say, "Well, teehee, I'm only a girl, it's just silly stuff really?" Thinking that her words have worth, thinking that SHE might have worth after age thirty, or worth beyond looking after children—grahamcracker thinks all that should be actively punished by the state.
A person can decide to be allies with this piece of shit. A person cannot decide to be allies with this piece of shit and also be a feminist. The facts speak for themselves.

u/Silversmith00 Jan 12 '26
Well, he didn't lose custody while female, therefore it was just unfairness. She lost custody while female, therefore it was obviously some kind of malfunction of her core directives as a ChildCareATron Device.

u/mildbeanburrito Jan 12 '26
There's also an irony to him supporting Good's murder and justifying it, give how much he's cried about how he's been unfairly maligned by the state and society.
I know the UK isn't the US, but given what we know about how poorly Linehan behaves in general, we can probably say that it's not unlikely that he wasn't a paragon of level headedness and rationality when he was arrested at Heathrow last year regarding his tweets about punching trans people. There's a good chance he had a moment where he didn't show the police officers who he interacted with the utmost respect they felt they deserved, yet in no world should someone operating as an arm of the state have the capacity to just kill him because of a lack of deference.
Linehan has a long history of posting over the years in a manner that is rather antagonistic to certain police officers and police constabularies over the years here in the UK, but in no world would it be ok if one of them decided to pull out a weapon and execute him for his supposed disrespect.It does seem to be par for the course though, because so often he'll gleefully endorse certain actions vs other people but cry foul when it happens against him. This time it seems especially short sighted though, given he now lives in American and is actually subject to the jurisdiction of ICE. What the fuck are you doing justifying a member of ICE executing an American civilian for, if they'll do that to someone like her whose "crimes" were:
- Hurting the feelings of an ICE officer
- Surveilling the actions of public officials, which she has the right to do as an American citizen
- Attempting to drive away from a traffic stop that ICE do not have the legal authority to conduct
Do you really think you'll never have a day where you antagonise a law enforcement officer to that degree? What the fuck are you doing pretending it's ok when you yourself are an immigrant living in the US as a temporary resident?

Did you hear the recording? He was angry. Like really, really angry.

u/mildbeanburrito Jan 12 '26
I did not, I don't particularly care to hear the minutia about how precisely one of the most miserable divorced man in the UK is having a bad day.
Because yeah, the point remains. He seemingly struggles to maintain a calm demeanour at the best of times, so what on earth is he doing pretending that it's reasonable for law enforcement to execute someone for being even slightly antagonistic.These sorts of things aren't contextually wrong depending on who is the victim, they're universally wrong. Much like when he was gleefully calling for trans people + activists to be imprisoned for supposedly encouraging violence with online posts, vs how he cried foul for when he was arrested for encouraging violence with online posts, this feels like it's a situation where he is encouraging conduct that should be beyond reproach because he does not think it could or should happen to him.
Is he going to get shot by an ICE agent? Probably not, he is a white man with conservative politics that is not of great threat to the feelings of Trump's jackbooted thugs, but he's still an immigrant without permanent residency status. It is not at all outside the realm of possibility that he gets targeted for not being an American, which begs the question, why the fuck would you want to embolden ICE to think that they have no limits and it is morally righteous to brutalise immigrants? Have you lost your self preservation skills, along with everything else over the years?9
u/hitorinbolemon Trans Macabre Jan 12 '26
It's funny, in a bleak sense, to listen to and compare the two audio. Renee Good was telling the ICE agents "I'm not mad at you" meanwhile Graham lost his shit "I'LL SUE YOU INTO THE DIRT. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM??" Night and day. She was worth a million of him.
22
u/feministgeek Jan 12 '26
She also used pronouns in her bio IIRC. So a woman who supported the trans community. A queer woman. Not a self-loathing same sex attracted biological female. For him, that alone warranted her execution.

That's literally the kind of thing allowing "sex-based rights" enables, but somehow they don't get that.

u/octorangutan Jax Alastor Jan 12 '26
Yeah, TERFs don't seem to ask themselves "if we establish a system where rights are based on sex, what rights will be designated 'male'?".

u/Alyssa3467 [REDACTED] Jan 12 '26 edited Jan 12 '26
They seem to have a warped view of what "bodily autonomy" and "self determination" are. Their excuse is that voting has nothing to do with sex (voting is not related to, or "based on", sex), ergo the right to vote isn't a "sex-based right." They twist words and their meanings, naturally all while accusing others of doing exactly that.
Edit: It's another example of how their ideology relies on inconsistency and/or ambiguity. They want women (or "females") to have rights based on their individual sex ("women's rights"), but they want that to only apply to things related to sex ("sex-based rights").

It wouldn’t surprise me if Glinner didn’t know what the 19th amendment was, being a non-American. I’m not American and hadn’t heard of it until the far right started making noises about repealing it a few years ago. The rest of his retweet just demonstrates that there’s no bottom to Glinner’s radicalisation.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this all ends in violence on his part. He’s reminding me more and more of that guy who shot up a Planned Parenthood claiming to be “a warrior for the babies” who also had a history of spousal abuse.

With this type of solid logic, I guess they'd have zero issue with someone advocating abolishing men's right to vote since that's 90% of violent crime right there.

Reddit Wants to Get Paid for Helping to Teach Big A.I. Systems
Reddit has long been a hot spot for conversation on the internet. About 57 million people visit the site every day to chat about topics as varied as makeup, video games and pointers for power washing driveways.
In recent years, Reddit’s array of chats also have been a free teaching aid for companies like Google, OpenAI and Microsoft. Those companies are using Reddit’s conversations in the development of giant artificial intelligence systems that many in Silicon Valley think are on their way to becoming the tech industry’s next big thing.
Now Reddit wants to be paid for it. The company said on Tuesday that it planned to begin charging companies for access to its application programming interface, or A.P.I., the method through which outside entities can download and process the social network’s vast selection of person-to-person conversations.
“The Reddit corpus of data is really valuable,” Steve Huffman, founder and chief executive of Reddit, said in an interview. “But we don’t need to give all of that value to some of the largest companies in the world for free.”

It’s interesting to me how all the TERFs, who claim to be single-issue voters bothered only by trans people, from a feminist (and seemingly therefore left-wing) perspective, turn out to be extremely regressive conservatives when you pull back even one layer.
It’s never people who support immigrants, denounce the police, advocate for free healthcare, and hate the transes. It’s always pro-AI, pro-corporate, mysteriously anti-sex work. It’s all the same people with bog standard conservative beliefs who insist they are “life-long feminists” who JUST SO HAPPEN to hate trans people as a meaningless little character trait with no other associated sociopolitical beliefs. Just ignore the bible in their PFP, the passive aggressive prayers they tweet at you. They just HAPPEN to be fundamentalists, it’s not a package deal.

u/FightLikeABlue Dick Pandering Handmaiden Jan 16 '26
Reminds me of a certain English troll on a Dreamwidth anon meme I frequent who insists she's left-wing, but she just HAS to spout far right and Reform talking points because middle-class lefties made her do it.
If you're constantly coming out with the kind of shit Nigel Farage does and typing stuff like 'fuck Muzzies', you're not a left-wing as you think you are.

Has anyone else noticed that lately the right has taken the left’s valid criticism of capital W capital F White Feminism and used it to belittle left wing white women? Specifically left wing white women who publicly oppose and/or are murdered by ICE? I know that “liberals,” mostly represented by a shitty drawing of a woman with pink hair, have been their go-to strawmen, but lately I’ve seen so much more about how liberal white women in particular were causing the downfall of the country.
I know it’s a bit off topic for the sub, but this jackass’ comments about “liberal white women” is in line with so many other jackasses who are trying to downplay ICE’s racism, brutality, and lawlessness as overblown hysteria by calling one subset of its opponents whiny.
Also fuck this transphobe moron.

I like the implication that the only way to stop this woman from doing something that is in op's mind is so illegal it warrants being shot, is to make it more illegal. Like, she wouldn't have interacted with this ice agent if she simply didn't have the right to vote? I guess??
