  • I'm gonna baselessly call transgender people a bourgeois scheme so that I can feel more leftist for being a bigot rather than less.

  • @nutomic@lemmy.ml this is being misread right? You're opposing the stupid concept that the bourgeoisie are promoting transness (when they are clearly massively funding the hate machine). Right?

    Because this is stupid as shit if it's the other way around. It's very clear that any trans support that did occur was simply part of trans falling under the lgbt movement, and that support for lgbt people occurs because pinkwashing is a useful tool of framing the west as "moral" for the purposes of imperialism. This does not make lgbt people (gay or trans) invalid and it is stupid as shit to take that position.

    The bourgeoisie's support for lgbt people is as sincere as Israel's support for lgbt palestinians and only someone with eyes blinded by unexamined bigotry chooses not to see that.

  • Me hearing that the devs of Lemmy are leftists 😁

    The "leftist" devs:

    (I remember something happening a bit ago involving CSAM, can the devs/admins that aren't Dessalines go a metaphorical five seconds without being reactionary?)

  • Am I missing something or is the "or allowing biological men to compete at the olympics" part that message the most cringe part? Even if you think thats a good thing why the hell are you framing it like that? Especially when you are throwing this in with rainbow capitalism as a "plot of the bourgeious."

  • I can generously interpret this as "The bourgeoisie promote the topic in such a way to cause division" a la "transgender boxer" and "oh no, trans people might use the restroom you should be scared", but really it seems like a stretch.

    Nope, they're just a fuckhead. Send 'em to TERF island and cut off all communication

  • Ummm the gubermint does handwaving that is an endorsement why would they let hate foster. Cmon huh. They support black lives matter and all that. So ummm I don't see why gubermint would also support systemic racism. Epic analysis 😎

    • love when the strongest part of my argument boils down to "the bourgeoisie is a monolith and never has competing factions with differing material interests"
