I know that there are a lot of trans people on hexbear, and I know their beliefs are sincere. What I don’t understand is how they square the fact that they would be brutally suppressed, r*****, tortured, murdered by the very groups/governments they unwaveringly love and support. It sickens me. Is it a manifestation of self-hatred? I just don’t get why they would degrade themselves like this.

    Stupid fucking ass moron liberals can’t fathom having multiple different priorities, and in this case holding internationalism and socialism through anti-imperialism as a priority above sexuality or gender-identity.

    I actually think they CAN comprehend it because they all hold nationalism above these things anyway. Gender-identity and sexuality to them are deprioritised when it comes to America’s strategic alliance with Saudi Arabia for example, why? Because they are nationalists that place their nationalism and supremacy above that of these issues.

    They pretend they can’t understand it but they themselves do the exact same thing. The difference is nationalism vs internationalism determines which countries people do it with.

      and in this case holding internationalism and socialism through anti-imperialism as a priority above sexuality or gender-identity.

      Even that might be giving these libs too much room. There’s no liberation for queer people under the occupation, under Israeli bombs, or as a US colony except for the very richest of them. Israel has killed more queer people in the last couple of years than Hamas has since its election and its not even close, and the development of the imperial periphery will inevitably lead to the loosening of the grip of theocracy (on average) and rights for many minority groups.

      But you don’t get it, why would I support any physically existing movement or materially existing organization, when I can instead be a moral purist who doesn’t engage with reality and just criticises “both sides” therefore maintaining the status quo that benefits my western Imperialism?
