I guess I'm too online, because these threads take something out of me. Cassa posted this one because she saw a user on 196 claim there can be no true democracy under capitalism.
The comments are what you expect. All agree that we're psychopaths who support genocide and just want authority as a goal in itself. All agree we do no leftist praxis, I guess just based on vibes. One user wrote:
let’s be honest, they should be removed from society
which is cool. One-on-one, online or in person, I'm pretty patient with people like this, but when I see a whole thread like this with hundreds of upvotes and no pushback it makes me feel tired.
It isn't meaningless, in the same way "woke" isn't meaningless. It is purely reactionary. A primal visceral hatred of change, of a shift in status (particularly their own), of anything that might - even superficially - undermine their own sense of supremacy.
Woke is the sentiment that causes people to reject the modern state of affairs.
Tankies are the agents of change, coming to plow up their fields of strange fruit.
i just wish blahaj banned 196 so we could all have a nice established trans specific server to be on without being harassed by chasers . i hate how the queer community is so fragmented on the fediverse
yeah but maybe a specific one? but that still doesnt solve the problem of not being able to communicate with users that have instances that are defed with each other.
it makes me feel like just hopping off the fediverse altogether is the way to go so that we have a more controlled and safe environment. our specter will still haunt them and they will give us free ads. since the structure is doomed to fracture the queer community maybe its just best to create a new situation, idfk.
The reason that gay, trans, gender non conformists, etc are punished by capitalism is because we're dangerous to the prevailing order. That is being subsumed. Communist, et all ideology cannot and thus will always be queer.
Same kind of fascism I'd expect to lurk in 3-no's queers. Then they wonder why I advocate for the total disfellowshipping of these consumer-queers-- if they wanna lay down with nazis, klansmen, and state dept. agents, let 'em. I won't be the one deworming and flea bathing them after their masters are done beating them like government mules.
There were so many a few years back that it was genuinely easier to stop expecting anything but micro- if not macro-aggressions out of white queers and refactor my "who I talk to" accordingly. Couldn't tell you the landscape now-- it was bad enough years ago that I just threw the shit out and started moving by introduction based on folk my homies have vetted.
