    Yeah naking a hyperbolic statement to communicate one’s exasperation with the geopolitical state of the world is totally the same thing as working on the giga death superkill planet cracker slaughter ray 3000. This is so insufferable, stop looking for useless shit to feel morally superior about over people who should be our allies. I can hardly even tell what you’re mad at her about. That she said “none of us wanted this”? Yeah lets get fuming mad that someone made a hyperbolic statement, ignore the real existing discontent and clown on anyone who doesn’t already have your idea of the perfect line. That’s a productive route to organizing a mass revolutionary movement.

    The implication that this progressive trans woman is maga or voted for Trump is also completely absurd. One could even say “lastaxolotl and hueoop really think trans people are reactionaries” with some stupid meme to accompany it. We can all twist language to claim something the original person obviously didn’t mean. It’s not funny or cute.

      I made a comment yesterday about improving the health of our community by naming our weaknesses: https://hexbear.net/comment/6797429

      I think I could diagnose this post with left-signalling and contrarianism. I’m not interested in calling out any current or future OP, I’d just like us to be more mindful about these in the composition of our posts and comments.

      Yeah wtaf is this post? Am I missing some sort of context? Am I misreading the tweet saying peaceful protest isn’t enough?

    I dont get what the issue is here. Like what do you want this girl to say? Like this girl doesnt work for the government, she’s only part of this by virtue of her citizenship.
    She’s a trans sex worker who as far as I can tell didn’t vote for Trump.
