The struggle for universal civil rights is not a pickโnโmix. Itโs a binary. You either fight for all peopleโs liberation, or youโre a selfish prick protecting your own to the detriment of everyone else. And I do not take moral lectures from selfish pricks.

If youโll sell them out for trans rights, why would I trust you on black emancipation?
17.02.2026 06:36 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The moment you suggest genocide is an acceptable trade for womenโs rights, trans rights, indigenous rights, whatever, I stop giving a shit entirely about your version of those rights, because youโd gladly sell those down the river too. Youโre basically radfems, pulling up the ladder behind you.
17.02.2026 06:36 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I donโt care if the other guy wouldโve genocide too. Or genocided worse. The voters he appeals to donโt give a shit about neither genocide nor domestic civil rights. If you want to be the party that pretends to care about humans and the marginalized, you must apply that in a principled manner.
17.02.2026 06:36 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The correct response is โyes, genocide is bad, and we obviously need to field a candidate who shares that sentiment and also stands up for civil rights domestically.โ Nothing else will persuade anyone. Ever. If youโll sacrifice one group on the altar, youโll sacrifice another when itโs convenient.
17.02.2026 06:36 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0As much as I sympathize with the message I think youโre trying to convey, when youโre criticized for facilitating a genocide, you do not get to lecture the rest of us that we must throw an oppressed people under the bus in the name of domestic trans rights. It doesnโt work that way. Itโs deceitful.

They hold the vaguely correct moral position, but are the most insufferable, hateful people, unable to honestly acknowledge ANY fault on the side theyโve deemed ontologically good.

Fuck you and the patronizing horse you rode in on.
When that is how you view the lower classes, as if they should be grateful to a system which has given them nothing but more of the same while shifting ever further right to capture a fleeting center as the Overton window shifts, taking their vote for granted, why should they ever support you?

History is very much back.
So Iโll repeat. Enjoy the fall of empire. Be safe. Iโll be sure to fiddle as it burns. I feel sorry only for those who fought for something better for everyone and the children. The rest of you deserve the fascism you stubbornly plunged us into by refusing to change.

Like it or not, rising inequality leads to heads rolling.
Like billionaires engaging in a literal space race for a dick measuring contest, forcing their warehouse labor to piss in bottles for a bottom line, and buying out the political establishment to enact lawfare and propaganda campaigns against anyone who meaningfully threatens those billionaires.
