lemmy.ml, hexbear, and lemmygrad users verbally fellate contemporary and historical autocratic mass-murderers they deem to be “leftists”, most recently being Vladimir Putin, Xi Jingping, and Kim Jong Un.

They are, in reality, bitch-made invertebrates who don’t even have the arm-strength to lift their Molotov-sippy-cups out of their premium-outdoor-brand backpacks, let alone form meaningful opinions on economics, political philosophy, or geopolitical reality.

          They just assume that because they don’t know any trans people, there’s no way so many folks are trans in one place online.

          I think it’s just their internal rationalization for why it’s okay to misgender people they disagree with, and then if you ask them to stop that’s just more evidence for them that you’re trolling. catgirl-flop

          Even more than that, let’s actually assume for the sake of argument that in some sense, this was the case for a nonzero number of posters:

          • Maybe in 20 years time, there’s a new word to describe some other very real type of dysphoria, and it turned out that, say, a hypothetical trans woman on here was actually a cis woman with zero gender feelings at all (there is somehow zero overlap between this hypothetical dysphoria and gender dysphoria) and only this dysphoria. She just really needed another person to talk to about her experience who could relate at all, but she felt compelled to restate things in terms of gender instead.
          • Maybe it turns out that, say, a hypothetical cis man on here was only dissatisfied with the cultural baggage tied to masculinity, but he ultimately needed the space to explore their gender identity and realize they felt like being a man best described him after all.
          • Maybe it’s something else I can’t think of right now.

          Does any of these scenarios actually justify treating those people any differently than someone who definitely is transgender? I don’t see why any reasonable person should come to that conclusion.

    • the most that can be said is people saying he was right about shit he said, which is like, idk, sorry but sometimes bad people make statements about the world and events that are accurate to reality??

      but these are the people who are like “j.d. vance called the chinese peasants… does not… compute… how to defend China, when china bad? but. orange man say china bad, orange man bad… could china be good??” so I’m really over giving a shit their illiterate shit lib asses think

        Media: “Putin delivers deranged anti-American tirade!”

        Putin’s tirade: “The US has repeatedly meddled in the affairs of other nations.”

        Me: edgeworth-shrug

        Libs: “You are gay for a dictator.”

        In particular guys like Putin, Lukashenko, (and funnily enough Orban) having come up through a communist party in their youth and being taught dialectical and historical materialism, will often very accurately outline the material factors leading to current events in speeches or interview, it’s at the last moment where they pivot and say something self-serving and reactionary.

        Kissinger had a pretty good idea about not escalating to nuclear confrontation between the USA and USSR and he was a demon and everyone here hates his extremely dead guts.

        But I doubt anyone here would advocate for annihilating countless millions in nuclear hellfire just to oppose Henry Kissinger.

      The fact that we only have one Putin emote putin-wink unironically says alot. There’s not alot to joke about him unless you genuinely like him. No real enthusam for even a wide putin emote. (When would that even be use enough to justify an emote?)

      Meanwhile theres like a page or two devoted to Biden and Trump. biden-leftist why-angel biden-harbinger joever trump-feed trump-moist cheeto-man trump-death-note trump-yassified feast-1feast-2 thicc-trump brump

      He’s pretty well-groomed, I guess.

      Edit: You do not, under any circumstances “have to hand it to him”
