    lmao no people regularly call me a shill for the CCP/Russia/etc at a frequency I’ve not encountered in other online spaces. they call me “grad”, hexbear etc, like those are slurs? The transphobia is rampantly unchecked, any trans related article has a ton of gender-critical (transphobic) take. My experience is that there may be some Token Issues, but generally people are very centrist and hostile to leftists.

      Dude, your instance is all about trans people? I am kinda new here (6 months?), and I almost never see any hate speech towards trans people, at most some comment with 50 downvotes that is going to me deleted by a mod in a couple odd hours…

      And maybe you are confusing leftists with tankies. Tankies think that russia and china are ok, because they are anti-us imperialism, and defend the soviet union because it was socialist and what not. Most leftist here aren’t tankies, and they recognize that china, russia and the ussr where/are brutal regimes that killed thousands. We still want socialism, but we don’t support genocide because you pretend to be socialist/anti capitalist/imeperialist…

        I’m talking about gender critical, it’s not overt transphobia so you have to pay attention and look out for more than just slurs.

        I’m not confusing tankies and lefties, for one tankies are a subcategory of leftists. But people on here see any leftist comment and will comment about people being shills.

          Tankies are a subcategory of authoritarians.

            The trans to tankie pipeline is imo even more fascinating than the hippie to fascist one. I like to hang out in blahaj just to gawk at it.

            Like, if you go to Russia or China they will kill you. The “liberals” you hate so much are what’s protecting your existence. You’re like a Black person praising the KKK for fighting against government tyranny.

              I’ve known a surprising amount of online trans liberals who moved to the alt-right as well. Probably something about societal pressures releasing (or forcing) the unmooring of norms (in this case, of ideology) and thus shifting trans folk towards non-standard ideologies. Or, if one prefers, releasing them from the influence of our society instilling the ideology of liberal democracy, since that is the mainstream of all political mainstreams in the West.

            That’s the same thing I said before? About gender critical? I wasn’t moving the goalposts I was literally reminding you what I told you.

            I’m not going to bother with your misunderstanding of political theory.

              There’s a big gap between “transphobia is rampantly unchecked” and “it’s not overt transphobia”, whether you want to acknowledge that or not.

              The “political theory” spouted by tankies is a cover. They reveal their true nature in the people that they glorify, such Mao, Stalin, Xi Jinping and even the Kim dynasty.

                  Going around assuming the worst of other people is not a path to success, or peace, or acceptance. If you are regularly looking for reasons to be angry, then of course you will regularly find them.

                  • 🤮🤮🤮 can’t believe you told someone experiencing transphobia that they were “looking for excuses to be angry” 🤮🤮🤮 you absolute shit.

                  • People spout transphobic, gender-critical language and arguments constantly. I’m describing transphobic bullshit that I regularly read. They have lines of arguments that would come straight out of JK Rowling’s mouth.
