horrible
Looked up threads about this on Reddit. Only found three threads on it. Nothing in /r/politics
- /r/transgender was going hard against it
- fucking /r/lgbt was justifying the action and saying its good because blah blah liberal bullshit.
- /r/california_politics used different reasoning but still justified it.
Had brunch with work colleagues (plenty “international” which means mostly anglosphere tech sphere aligned) and the majority defended his actions. Funnily they were all “allies” and the queers on the table were all against it. Which is kinda how it often is. The arguments were those of a “negative peace”, too.
Being an “ally” means absolutely nothing. I have 100% confidence in their total betrayal the second the wind shifts.
I understand your sentiment. I do believe that there are plenty of real allies who would have our backs (as some did show in the past already).
But those are mostly already active and their ally-ship is proven and the “title” isn’t something they claim, it is something proved and thereby given.
I presume they were defending the veto as “negative peace” but not using those words is what was meant. Like they didnt call it that, but they said things that JuneFall would describe that way.
Its pretty much what Newsom’s defense for the decision is.
There was actually a small thread with like 20 upvotes and no comments that I found there, so I assume it was more the libs there willfully ignoring a negative thing about the Blue Team. Wouldnt put it past the /r/poltiics mods to remove a thread if it got traction though and spin up some bullshit about it not being relevant or whatever.
