That’s obviously the problem. They want to normalize the kind of violence that targets vulnerable groups disproportionately, such as disabled people, but they need a “deserving” victim to remain palletable enough to the liberal masses so that they can gradually normalize this kind of violence.
Bud, it isn’t an assumption when the action is both reliant on liberal beliefs, and the individuals openly express liberal values.
Also, you don’t get to pick that moral value for other people. As much as I believe we are obligated to exercise whatever power we are afforded, which includes a vote, I could never in good conscience tell someone they’re a problem for refusing to participate in a system that has committed genocide against their people. Colonizers don’t just colonize by explicitly and intentionally dominating other groups, they often do so by asserting that their “moral” philosophy is in everyone’s best interest, even if that means the “unfortunate” reality that necessitates them deciding for others.
The narrative you just created requires us to forget that vulnerable people have revolted against the US state for centuries. You’re saying that their resistance only counts as something to put faith in when the privileged white people join in, and conveniently, that means we should just do what the privileged white people wany out of practicality. This is not the mindset of a reasonable, empathetic person, it is of someone whose politics are oriented around their own comfort; many of us do not enjoy that privilege.
If the sole survivor of a Palestinian family does not want to vote, who the fuck are you or I to tell them they’re immoral if they don’t want to help their family’s murderers do anything for some fake “greater good.” For fuck’s sake, you’d refuse them even that? Why should you have any right to tell a closeted trans person who’s skirting through genocide that they aren’t allowed to maintain some feeling of power or self-authorship by refusing this system their participation? What, them giving away their less than one percent of the vote gonna make all the privileged people listen to trans people for the first time fucking ever?
These are people who have lost and given more than what we could ask of anyone simply by being victimized by this system, and they do not represent dominant voting trends even in the minority groups they represent. You want them to vote for your benefit, don’t act like it is anything else. This discourse didn’t become prominent in liberal discourses until they wanted to blame victims for not supporting the “good guys,” and it’s disgusting. If you’re going to act like this is from whatever, socialist and/or anarchist voters, I’d love to see either stats that proves some sleeping giant lives among us, or an argument that targets them specifically without presuming to speak on the moral purity of victims.
Fuck off with this fake shit.
That has literally already happened to me on here multiple times. Liberals do not have solidarity, that’s kind of their problem.
Can’t wait to be called a Stalinist Yankee tankie in two years for saying he’s not a respectable person.
Kinda skipping a few steps there eh.
Yeah Bazzite is irritatingly restrictive, Fedora or Cachy are honestly worth the little extra effort it takes.
I run two different RPM distro machines. Took me less than forty minutes to install on each (my internet is slow), and one of them is an eight-year-old laptop with an i3 and 8 gigs of memory. All runs fine, had issues with the Bluetooth antenna on one (just drivers).
I had to help a family member set up a W11 laptop, took hours (pre-installed) to sift through all the bullshit settings to make it even function without disrupting every session or literally spying on them.
So, I dunno, maybe you pissed off some witch and got cursed, seems like a pretty exceptional experience you had.
Transphobia is a liberal value, even the concept of “biological gender,” is reliant on liberal conceptions of the natural world and statically-defined social categories. You can’t talk about “liberals” without it being the “establishment,” because we live under a liberal hegemony where those values are not only pervasive, but dominant throughout our culture and society.
I’m not saying this to like, catch you, but to point out the dangers in accepting the conflation between liberalism and “liberal”-- as in freedom, or social progress – as that association is itself a consequence of liberal appropriation of social justice rhetoric and values. Liberals claimed ownership over anti-racism, ant-sexism, and pro-queerness, and the result of that assimilation into a liberal system was the erosion of every victory gained by activists in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. These people are not and have never been our friends.
Don’t engage, they’re someone who assumes they’re right because they don’t want to be wrong, there’s nothing there besides what they want to be, and they’ve made it clear they don’t care much about the issue.
“Let me say what I want about trans people or I’ll just go mask off transphobic and you won’t even get my fake support.”
I’m sure we can do without you, not sure what we get with you. They explained, they admitted to not even considering how this was harmful as they, like you apparently, assumed that just because they don’t want to be transphobic, they aren’t. They obviously didnt care all that much, as they did not even consider if it was harmful again, and even insisted that they’re above being challenged because they’re already as pure as they need to be.
It’s you dipshits that care more about purity than the values. Liberals like you are why we’re in this fucking position, if you don’t want that, make fucking sure you don’t do it.
That so? If there’s that many people that critical of this system, you’d think they’d have more of an effect than selectively influencing a single voterbase. How strange.
If I was killed by the state, I’d hardly want my friends to respond by using my death to defend the state.
“Be mildly critical of the system I have limited power over? I might as well fucking drop my entire life.”
think I found a starting point for you. Why is that what you arrived at?
This guy’s just scrolling through my comments now, lol. Did you miss the button, or forget o sign into the alt before posting this one?
Your friends died from criticisms of liberalism, huh, rough stuff. Welcome to the “America killed my friends,” club, we get dickhead libs who can’t do anything without feeling righteous a lot now.
As I said in my original comment, some people have to vote Dems, since part of their evil is holding vulnerable groups hostage. If you can’t do that without it also being the morally pure thing to do, I don’t think you’re qualified to be proud of that decision. We are all forced to be accessories to this system, but you’re choosing to like it.
I get it, Satan’s maggoty cum fart would say that, funny.
I’m going to present you with a very fair question, and that is the end of this interaction: If you’re such a huge supporter of trans people, why do you get to choose when your actions are harmful to them?
You’re not supporting trans people. Full stop. I explained why, you’re choosing to again not support trans people.
And now that you know that, feel free to edit your original comment to address the harm in it.
Oh, this is genuinely a problem for them. They want to normalize the kind of violence that targets vulnerable groups disproportionately, such as disabled people, but they need a “deserving” victim to remain palletable enough to the liberal masses so that they can gradually normalize this kind of public violence. But, now if they pull out of this after international pressure, it’ll look weak and make it even harder to try again.
