just some autistic guy trying to make it through the hellworld

I just saw someone admonishing someone trans to shut up about trans rights because there are concentration camps in the US, and you know who I see overwhelmingly and disproportionately on the front lines standing up against concentration camps? Trans people.

i call this "neoteny of the oppressed" btw. because children are the archetypal objects of legitimate coercion (violence, authority, control, etc) any vulnerable group can have their autonomy stripped by first linking them to children & childlikeness. the comparison legitimizes any act of coercion

Transphobia and the oppression of children are linked to the point that trans adults are often treated like de facto children. One way we see this is how we’re told continually that we don’t understand grown-up politics, as if our political concerns are childish and immature.

can those of you mad because you think trans whining on microblogs will depress support for dem politicians please imagine for one second how dem politicians spouting transphobia on enormous mainstream platforms depresses support for trans people

What is wrong with cis people? Why the fuck are you ghouls constantly posting this shit in my replies. If I'm complaining about something a Democrat does, do not fucking jump in to say "BUT THE REPUBLICAN IS WORSE!" like that's news to me. It's not. This is condescending bullshit.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

lol liberals don't realize how much they've adopted nationalism and how much minorities have adopted nationalism in turn. everyone's quickly going to do a "if we burn you burn with us" attitude unless people get this shit together and have a damn spine to attack the right wing directly

stages of demographic dismissal: 1. minority votes in massive %s for your party 2. rival party attacks them directly to break this 3. party concedes to rival party to try and get rival party supporters 4. minority % support lowers 5. party labels the minority extremists or a cult to blame minority

Dem centrists will see lgbtq+ and Muslim rights as offensive and an obstacle to winning elections, so they won’t stop trying to attack and purge their own fucking voter base, thinking they can replace them with loyal Republicans.

This is true, but also, liberals don't want to defeat fascism, because they see it as a weapon to wield against socialism. They think they're part of the in-group. This seems laughable on its about-to-be-eaten-by-a-leopard face, of course, but no one accused them of being particularly clever.

It sends a pretty strong message that liberals see LGBTQ+ rights as an inconvenience to winning elections rather than standing up for oppressed people being integral to defeating fascism
