Like half of lemmygrad is queer, lol

I appreciate it, but I’m going to be a little wary until I see it in action. I see too many places become uncomfortable for PoC and LGBT comrades who feel they have nowhere else to go, because every place they do end up pushes them out in the end.

I think you might benefit from checking out hexbear for a bit to see the difference in user activity (there’s a lot of user activity). It’s like night and day from here and they had their transphobia struggle session like 2 years ago. Once all the shitty people were gone, everyone got comfortable and actually started to talk to each other.

Good news: the idiot in the screenshot is banned.

Bad news: still no word from the admins on how they’re going to prevent this from being a systemic issue. It’s obvious from their actions up to this point that they’re going to let things slide unless someone complains loud enough. I’m not the only queer person on the network and not everyone has thick skin.

They’ve let far too many bigots worm their way into the woodwork.

If beehaw bans transphobes and homophobes on sight then plug yourself. But I’m done debating these people. My existence is not up for debate and there is nothing to discuss. I will continue to be trans regardless of people’s opinions and disgusting namecalling.

If it looks like a duck, eats like a duck, quacks like a duck, builds an ideological pipeline like a duck…

A few more since apparently I have to do all the work for you

I have literally linked to where the guy is being racist and seanchai has quoted his homophobic and transphobic remarks. It’s plain as day. I’m calling this shit out because it makes me feel unsafe to be here as a queer person.

Also, how do you not know what a dogwhistle is?

@[email protected] can you please explain to this man what a wrecker is? He’s either being naive or is cryptofash himself and I’m running out of patience.

Miss me

With that

Bullshit

I don’t need to argue anything. Fuck fascists. If you’re an ML like you’ve stated in the past, you know why and don’t need me to explain to you why fascism is unacceptable and how they leverage liberal discourse to gain footing.

If you enable fascists to speak then what do you even stand for?

To let things slide for the sake of peace and friendship when a person has clearly gone wrong, and refrain from principled argument because he is an old acquaintance, a fellow townsman, a schoolmate, a close friend, a loved one, an old colleague or old subordinate. Or to touch on the matter lightly instead of going into it thoroughly, so as to keep on good terms. The result is that both the organization and the individual are harmed. This is one type of liberalism.

To hear incorrect views without rebutting them and even to hear counter-revolutionary remarks without reporting them, but instead to take them calmly as if nothing had happened. This is a sixth type.

I don’t claim to be unbiased. I don’t claim to be fair. Because being unbiased and fair is for people who don’t have to worry about their own survival. LGBT people have already learned this lesson when we’ve been hunted down in the past. You gotta nip this shit in the bud before it takes root.

If you make this place a safe haven for these people, then it’s not safe for me or people like me, and I will treat it like radioactive waste.

They’re the wolfballs admin, what’s not to get? Don’t be a lib.

Not sure what they’re planning to do with a phosphate compound, but securing the southern hemisphere of the moon will be integral to future miners seeking helium-3 and water deposits.

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, “no. get out.”

And the dude next to me says, “hey i’m not doing anything, i’m a paying customer.” and the bartender reaches under the counter for a bat or something and says, “out. now.” and the dude leaves, kind of yelling. And he was dressed in a punk uniform, I noticed

Anyway, I asked what that was about and the bartender was like, “you didn’t see his vest but it was all nazi shit. Iron crosses and stuff. You get to recognize them.”

And i was like, ohok and he continues.

"you have to nip it in the bud immediately. These guys come in and it’s always a nice, polite one. And you serve them because you don’t want to cause a scene. And then they become a regular and after awhile they bring a friend. And that dude is cool too.

And then THEY bring friends and the friends bring friends and they stop being cool and then you realize, oh shit, this is a Nazi bar now. And it’s too late because they’re entrenched and if you try to kick them out, they cause a PROBLEM. So you have to shut them down.

And i was like, ‘oh damn.’ and he said “yeah, you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”

And then he went back to ignoring me. But I haven’t forgotten that at all.

It’s kinda cute and the colors are pretty.

@[email protected] @[email protected] thoughts on this thread?

Spoiler this please

I think it’s fun that all the “cool” lib brands are the ones getting called out. Really breaks the sanitized perception of them. Now we gotta get the dirty jobs too, because they always try to stay unknown.

Intros to Critiquing Postmodern Liberal Culture

(More or less “bonus” content, but still important)

• The Culture Struggle
• Blackshirts and Reds
• First as Tragedy, Then as Farce

I thought marx or lenin said something like socialism is a stepping stone to Communism? Is that not the same revealing process?

No, because your goals are stated outright from the outset. Communists tell reactionary elements of society to get with the program, and then drag them along anyway when they become a threat to proletarian dominance over the bourgeoise. If you allow the bourgeoisie to accumulate wealth, they will abuse it and try to recreate liberalism.

Xi Xinping, for example, has released several books recently about China’s 100 Year Plan and his programs to bring the country closer to true Marxism. Their bourgeoisie class has been forewarned that the country will be less tolerant of them going foreward. Meanwhile their poverty alleviation programs have singlehandedly altered global poverty statistics and have raised their homeownership rate to 90%.

Compare with the Nazis or Alt-Right leaders who meet with their corporate sponsers in secret, tie it up in dark money, and hide the details from their on-the-ground members. Many Germans and Americans still don’t know that American corporations helped fund the rise of the Nazi party.

This is basically Bernie or bust philosophy. Or left wing accelerationism.

It’s not my fault white people suck at solidarity. Read Settlers.

Liberal states historically used drugs to increase usage of colonial currencies among colonized people. It’s an easy in to destabilize the local economy.
