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.
this is the truth of it
they believe they are the adults in the room, and anyone to their left must be delusional or childish etc
no wealthy and influential Democrat could ever think in this way, so you must be terrible people or ‘utopian’ etc
Liberals have a hard time understanding that two groups of people could have conflicting interests is how I mainly see it. They see conflict as a personal moral failure rather than situations people are sorted into.
Capitalist and worker, colonizers and indigenous people, profit and the environment. To a liberal these aren’t fundamentally unsolvable problems based of contradiction, but rather situations that can always be mended through…I don’t know, raising awareness. Putting a cute sign in your yard.
