I’ve been having a number of conversations on Hexchan recently trying to make sense of their politics. The most common instance of their hateful hypocrisy I’ve encountered is this constant assurance that they support trans people while immediately attacking and dog piling and trans people who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump.

The hexchanners who aren’t actively Russian trolls seem to be little more than useful idiots for conservatives, minimizing the damage they do to vulnerable populations and engaging in high school level pettiness and hate.

    My care for the differences between awful Genocidal person A and awful Genocidal person B is not great. It’s high enough that I’ll vote to try do some harm reduction, but it is barely a conversation worth having right now.

        The actual harm reduction is [REDACTED] or organising an underground railroad to asylum states and from there to at least not actively trans exterminatory jurisdictions abroad, if the letter’s possible at all (most nations will refuse to aknowledge that human rights abuses worse enough to grant refugee status are happening in the US, even though that’s already the case in Florida, Texas or Tennessee). Doesn’t mean that the genocide will not massively accelerate under Trump, and if you are not ware of this you have no meaningful place in this conversation and should just stfu about things that your cis shit ass can comfortably ignore. If you think the person you’re replying to is a LIB, you better be prepared to also put your life on the line once push comes to shove or you’re actually worse than him. And i mean that “put your life on the line” part literally, because that’s what we’re talking about here. I’m not saying you aren’t, i can’t judge if you’re willing to fight back or to smuggle trans people out of states that will make their existence flat-out illegal, i’m obviously not asking you to fedpost here, but if you demand of my siblings in the US that they get exterminated merely because you have Biden Derangement Syndrome and not because you understand the alternatives to electoralism and what’s at stake here, then go fuck yourself.
