    we’re fucking losing the war against austerity because of our purity.

    Sounds like Patsoc Larouche bull.

    Not wanting to genocide a marginalized group is a basic tenent of being anything on “the left”. I would question the good faith of anyone who drops a larger fight over discriminating others.

    If anyone is doing “purity tests” it’s the fascist assholes, patriarchy upholders, and ignoramouses who can’t bother to read up on issues to toss marginalized groups under the bus. Oh we can’t focus on X if it includes THOSE people. Ewww icky! Who cares if we criminalize them!

    Hitler came after the trans and queers first. Never forget that.

    We are in the middle of the 3rd Red Scare. That comes with it a lavender scare. a “moral panic” tied to the irrational fear of “communism” or “the enemy” (our economic competition but they sell it as “the enemy” because they understand the public is not going to give two shits about some investor having a childish tantrum due to foriegn resources not being given to them like the entitled brats they are)

    They are exploiting general ignorance about transgender and queers in their youth as a culture war to defelct from doing anything for the people while they fuck them over for exploitative means and war profiteering. A lot of the same arguments against trans are the very same bullshit arguments they made agaisnt gays.

    Years from now it will be looked down upon as a very shameful time and how could our society be such assholes and stupid people. We’ve been here before.

    It doesn’t need to be years from now, but our investor class is filled with fascists and sociopaths which are more than happy to chuck money and order their owned propaganda channels to whip up fears and watch us fight amongst ourselves.

    Tell TERFs they are a bunch of ignorant assholes repeating the same lies and bullshit of the anti gay rights era. TERFs are not leftists. If they can not be educated then they can be tossed in the history bin. Conservative fucks are going to do their austerity shit with or without equality.

      Throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus to appeal to the deffinitly genuine “we’d support you if you’d stop being mad at us for being racists and bigots” voting bloc

      What a refreshing and original take that I’ve never heard before, especially from people who are deffinitly just not bigots
