This is terrifying, but thankfully I think I can give you an argument for the “bourgeois decadence” part. It’s simply absurd, the vast majority of trans people are poor and I mean this in the sense that trans people who are poor are out of proportion with the general poor population when compared to the rich. They are far more likely to be victims of bourgeois decadence, either as scapegoats, sexually exploited, or financially exploited like the rest of the working class. Even if all of the former is ignored, the amount of trans rich people is not even remotely out of proportion in the way that would imply it is some sort of extant result of bourgeois ideology or decadent excess. Trans people exist in poor populations all across the world, which all have this same dynamic I mentioned here. There is absolutely no coherent reading of the current material situation that would imply that trans people are a result of economic excess, or specifically economic excess on the part of bourgeois being used for some sort of morally debased activity.

A much more likely explanation is that the very idea that transness is “bourgeois excess” comes from internalized, idealistic, Christian ideals of morality. Georges Politzer pointed out that for a lot of his students (and assumedly people in general) live under idealistic assumptions despite being “materialists at heart”. Unfortunately being a revolutionary doesn’t automatically remove all of those assumptions unless self-examination is done.

I’m really concerned here. If you have to you may need to go around their back to stop them from getting significant influence in their orgs. This is just generally bad, I’m sorry you’re going through this.

This feels more ethically questionable than shooting them tbh

The fact they’re banned or cracked down on like other games is solid proof that prisons don’t give a shit about justice

I was also joking sorry

fuck you I’ll fucking kill you I am not a tr*t

I don’t think the Big Bang is any more or less mystical, incomprehensible, or idealistic than the idea of an infinitely existing universe or even incompatible with it and I think the idea that dialectical materialism must mean believing in an eternal universe very silly. We have no scientific proof on the “length of the universe” because that stuff is still way beyond us. Oh yeah and the universe having been created at some point doesn’t actually prove any sort of idealistic theory whatsoever

I probably have more to add late but yeah this checks out

I guess a theoretical leftist org could take a stance of “democrats are genocidal maniacs, but vote for them for strategic reasons” but like… Good luck spreading that sentiment lmao

Piece of shit couldn’t even legalize being gay despite all the ways people use after-Stalin presidents as a anti communist “good one” club.

The argument I’ve seen people making that I’ve just been clicking away with disgust for but don’t have an actual argument against is that we should for slightly less violently homophobic/sexist/ideologically chuddite conditions in the West so that organizing for an actual insurrection is easier. I don’t think they actually plan on organizing but if by some universal alignment they actually do I don’t know if I can blame them.

the convienient stubborn scapegoat nerd strikes back

this but unironically

nah it’s just amer*ans

uncritical support to all trans men who use absolutely absurd names

“lost iq points”

what if. we cared about people’s wellbeing. And NOT arbitrary criteria meant specifically to fuck over disabled people

I’m pretty sure this is the bit but who knows with internets
