[Transphobia Warning] Nutomic’s Stance on Transgender People

They’re not much different from the republicans they so detest. Hell I mean even Cuba is apathetic towards transgender people, Nutomic should be like them.

Tankies like him basically regurgitate fox news talking points other than anything relating to china lol. Like literally itd be difficult to tell them apart if china wasnt mentioned

The very left lefties who explain to us that the best tactics to achieve leftism are coincidentally doing exactly what the rightmost political group wants.

Marxism-Leninism is fundamentally a right-wing ideology. It’s a right-wing ideology that is very much at odds with the dominant right-wing ideology in the West, but if you blur your eyes and take a step back, you’ll see the same thinking at play. Once you realize this, the whole situation starts to make a lot more sense.

Its nice having terrible social skills sometimes to the point where I make people drop the mask quicker.

It is generally leftist. Unfortunately you are probably imagining leftist economics but they want "leftist" authoritarianism. They despise capitalism. They love state capitalism. They will excuse any atrocities and human rights violations that occur as long as the country is extremely authoritarian and pretending to be economically left.

They are historical revisionists as well. Admins are extremely fragile. They will ban you from every community for writing historically accurate facts. If you find this screenshot appalling you should preemptively switch to a different instance before they catch you doing wrongthink and ban you.

Source: I had a lemmy.ml account for the same reasons as you.

It’s easy to make a new account.

I made the same mistake. They are the stupid kind of leftists

Pretty sure ML stands for Marxist Leninist, doesn't it?

Yeah, I am too attached to my account because it's several years old and was made when there were next to no instances running. But I can only shake my head at the amount of Marxist-Leninist nonsense that is at times pushed there, that unironically elevates what was a development of "Marxism" out of the material conditions of the Eastern Bloc as an imperialist sphere bent on market expansion and accumulation of national capital, into a religion-like orthodoxy.

No, ideology that is nominally Marxist, and having an educated caste of decision-makers highly trained in your interpretation of it at the top won't prevent capitalist dynamics and bring about communism, only the material base and changing it will, and your ideology will follow what your material base demands. And that had been expansion of national capital for the Eastern sphere since the revolution failed to link up with any industrialised nations in the 1920s. The elevation of Marxism into a basically teleological ideology, claiming that with subservience to the interests of national capital, there will be communism at the end (a promise broken over and over again), is completely understandable by looking at the Soviet and Chinese spheres of influence from a Marxist perspective.

And even the structures put into place by Lenin were explicitly designed as for his own time and the conditions within the Russian Empire, not as an infallible orthodoxy, and things like Democratic Centralism explicitly contained open and free discussion before unity of action, which was just completely pushed away. Urgh, it's sad to me, because I think a new, invigorated and organised communist movement is needed more than ever, but by redirecting it to the national interest of states like China (and even Russia, which isn't even nominally communist, and just opposes western imperialism to impose its own imperialism - like choosing Germany over France in WWI, the exact shit Lenin fought against) instead of the international proletariat, just weakens it overall.

Leftism doesn't require trans activism. It happens there mostly due to tribalism, not because the ideology somehow makes it necessary.

Yeah, it's laughable that he thinks contradicting actions by those in power are strange. The whole point is to keep people squabbling amongst themselves about social issues and ignoring the constantly growing class divide going on.

Both are important, but imo a poor trans person has more in common with a poor redneck than a poor redneck has in common with a rich white business owner. And everyone has more in common with each other than they do with any member of the true 1% (meaning not white landlords of one or two inherited properties, but the people who own organizations like Blackrock).

Now if only we could get bigots to understand that instead of perpetuating more division between people.

Dude straight up banned you for the fact that actions have consequences. Frankly I'd wear getting banned by him as a badge of honor. Sure, what you're experiencing is also considered consequences, but I think it was worth it. You have my support, new friend

Welcome to !linux@programming.dev

They are one of the two people who created Lemmy.

This one

Yep, this just prevented me, a trans woman, from ever donating to the main Lemmy project. I'm severely disappointed. I'll donate only to good instances with leadership I know aren't phobic.

This literally ignores the experiences of trans people, all of whom lost something in order to transition, and many everything. The system is being weaponized against us at every level. What an ignorant thing to say.

This guy also insisted on keeping the nazi instance explodingheads listed under 'recommended instances' on joinlemmy.org.

People who don't like free speech on here are sorely confused as to the purpose of activitypub and lemmy, they were explicitly designed to be censorship resistant so that people could express controversial opinions without being silenced - they already understand that people who dislike free speech won't support them, thankfully this project doesn't need much support and there are some free speech supporters that do donate even if they don't agree with every single opinion of every dev involved.

Difficulty: IMPOSSIBLE

What is that?

EDIT: I posted before Googling it, because I assumed it would just give me Naruto results. Turns out it took me to this browser extension. Thanks for sharing!

Edit again: Now I'm extra dumb because that's not even from Naruto.

Just want to point out this unban you got:

Excellent work! That's one for the fridge

Any idea who that is?

Communists are being pretty explicitly anti-liberal, and they make that a point pretty often.

And is becomes clear eventually as you see their posts and read their comments that these people aren't misunderstanding liberals, they're pretty aware that both in the meaning of the word and in practice, "liberals" generally want people to be free from shackles and free to do most anything. Typically summarized along the lines of "as long as it doesn't hurt anyone, do what you want".

Communists don't agree with liberalism.

Communists want to demand much more of people and permit much less. They have much more in common with Putin's extant but inflated voterbase than they like to admit. Even with Putin not being a communist.

The second developer of Lemmy the other is Dessalines

Studying communism excessively can ensure that you have shorting comings in other areas.

There are plenty of early leninists who were deeply intersectional. Alexandra Kollontai jumps to mind immediately.

But yeah, there's definitely a vulgar strain here that nutomic is clinging to.

I think it's like saying that Marxism isn't... let's say, Nietzschean. Those are two ways of looking into problems. In some points, they'll coincide; in others, they won't. I'm bad at analogies. Anyway, if you're a Nietzschean (in this case, if you believe intersectionality is the proper way of looking at social phenomena), of course Marxism (probably in all its different branches) will look incomplete and like they're building from the wrong premises to you. But if you were Marxist, you'd think the same of Nietzschean philosophy (or intersectionality).

I'm sure both have excellent reasons to believe in a framework or another, but we should not forget they are just that, not truth™. I say this not to fall into an absolute relativism but to prevent any side from falling into a conviction of moral superiority. We cannot be so sure about it.

Show your siblings https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/

It'd probably help if you told them about blahaj instead of trying to pick a beef with a single code monkey you don't have to interact with.

Yeah. That transgender is not a "topic". It's human and doesn't have to be repressed any more. And haters hate that

Ah, observe how the tankies come in to defend transphobia.

How TF are the developers of Lemmy part of the bourgeoisie? Or the aristocracy, which is different BTW?

They are. They don't think about it.

Nutomic is a nepo-baby who feels guilty about being rich and rightfully so, ah, but he doesn't feel guilty to the point of giving it away.

Hot take. Let's just say that anyone who makes anything anyone else uses and feels dependent on is a part of the bourgeoise now, amirite?

All I did was ask for a feature and stated that humans right should be protected.
