second-plane Mr president, the predominantly cis radlibs claiming that “all tankies are transphobic” are about to visit the trans tankie website and discover we’re even more far left because of our queerness, not despite it

    I adore how libs and whoever just cannot fathom how trans people can be tankies! Where does the “tankies are transphobic” shit even come from anyway, did they just invent it?

      In the UK at least CPGB-ML is like extremely transphobic and the TERF that Rowling did a shout out for that started her whole public transphobia thing was a member of it iirc but they’re basically just like the British version of the CPI. They’re basically just chauvinistic patsocs

      it’s best to understand that liberals don’t believe in politics as much as they believe in a pantheon of polytheistic deities that people pray to. They believe they pray to the god of freedom who grants wealth and good harvests. They think communists pray to a trickster god like Loki who will betray everyone, despite promising good things.

      Liberals can’t conceive of communism as a living political movement comprised of real people. They can only see it as a cartoonish version of the USSR in the 1930s. If enough people pray to the communism god, a literal demon will manifest into reality and conjure up the exact situation of what liberals think the USSR was, regardless of what communists are demanding or organizing for.

        I am now praying to the communist trickster god for the manifestation of the demon who will herald a return to the 1930s USSR.

        For real though it surprises me that people go through life with such a simplistic view of things they don’t even remotely understand and have never investigated…

      presentism and pyschosexual fascination with the specter of the authoritarian strongman. being queer was only invented in 1991, and surely a world leader Back Then couldn’t have killed 1,234,567,890,000 people without actually believing in the traditional cisheteropatriarchy.
