Yeah, yeah I know: Stop the presses.

I already knew that through osmosis, but actually going there and seeing them just gleefully eating J.K. Rowling out under a post about her bullshit really cemented it for me.

They genuinely believe we’d have world communism by now if it wasn’t for those meddling trans.

    My favorite thing is the sort of people who will say shit like “now I think we should all live and let live” or “as long as they’re not hurting anybody people should live however they want” and then as soon as any hot button topic about trans people comes up they lose their goddamn minds.

    Like I remember a flare up of articles about trans kids transitioning before puberty, and pearl clutching morons who never even stopped to consult the science on the issue just assumed this was some terrible moral failing and the death of Western Civilization.

    It also really bothers me how much they hate autistic people. They use “autistic” (and other less nice terms) to mean “cringe,” and throw around the R-word like it’s nothing. Combine that with their transphobia and they give off Kiwi Farms energy.

      Their R word use is a sort of filter used to keep intersectional leftists off the board. They say it to be assholes but it also serves a weird gate keeping purpose. People here won’t use vulgarity like that. Just an observation.

    lol they’re so terminally online that they’re still downvote spamming the trans comm, and occasionally posting wildly transphobic shit. imagine being so mad about a site you don’t even use that you go on it just to harass trans people

    They act like they’ve found the secret key to decoding reality by applying ‘baby’s first class reductionism’ to the world and it shows. This is the same myopia that would lead one to conclude that cops are members of the working class. They need to apply some fucking finesse. This is not 1870. If you sit like a stone in the midst of the online sex worker storm it doesn’t mean you’re a stoic pragmatic it means you’re fucking ignorant of the actual contours of working class peril in current times.

    now imagine that the whole society is like at least this stupid and genuinely believe stuff even worse than this about you and it has real fucking consequences for your life… and yeah… being trans is a lot of really dumb, pointless shit that only exists to make your life harder.

    /sigh I’m grumpy

    Hey guys, trans person here. I’m gonna prevent communism until I have the power to walk into every bathroom on earth or something. Luckily there is no subreddit of politically incorrect people who could stop me

    It’s a bunch of reactionary alienated white dudes who believe they are being ‘true marxists’ by eschewing all other forms of justice other than economic. Yes, they hate them.

    I’m Jewish and they were tolerating reactionaries making that ‘every single time’ joke in reference to me
