So Ana Kasparian from TYT did the classic: ‘The left’s focus on identity issues divides us! I’m done with it!’ after being called out for being a TERF and repeating typical transphobic right-wing rhetoric, which she constantly doubles down on.

This TYT Having believes means absolutely nothing to these idiots. Liberals will gladly defend TERFs as long as they’re politically aligned with them.

It’s always the same shit with these types of assholes. Conservatives do their culture wars, spread false narratives and implement laws criminalizing trans people’s existence, and then when we defend ourselves and push back against the lies and bigotry that spreads even among supposed ‘allies’, all of a sudden we’re the ones responsible for the culture wars and being “identitarian”.

And yes, in that video Kasparian used the term “identitarian” he is, he doesn’t want to look in the mirror and admit he’s full of shit, and that his social progressivism is just performative bullshittery.

Every single day I lose more faith in these so called ‘allies’. Fucking useless.

My rant is over. Gonna grab some more ganja to relax.

Why doesn’t he set an example by talking about material issues instead of contributing to a discussion he thinks is all a waste of time

Repurposing something I wrote earlier:

Ben Burgis is a hack. He, along with Douglas Lain, used to be apart of Zero Books and made Youtube videos for that publishing house’s channel. They’re both Left Coms who complain about cancel culture and political correctness (Burgis was even on Rogan). They even made a few videos bashing Michael Parenti that appear to have been deleted from the Zero Books channel. Even one of Lain’s videos is an interview with Glenn Greenwald with a thumbnail that says “Flashback: Glenn Greenwald is not your enemy”, while Burgis actually released a book with the title, “Canceling Comedians While The World Burns”.

I hate it when libs(chuds at this point really) give condescending descriptions on strategy from the left when it always boils down to ‘sacrifice the people of color and trans people! We can’t save everyone!’

How about we put the wealthy white people last in the conversation and tell them their concerns and safety can wait until the next election?

And it always seems to escape them that the strategy they advocate pretty much describes the status quo.

Not to get weird about it, but also it never works. This is not a puyi vs Romanov situation. This is them just lying about being liberals. Their points are meaningless because they are meaningless. To take them seriously is an insult to everyone else.

Ben is so fucking smug for someone who knows almost nothing but being an academic snob and pretending to be the logical adult in every room he somehow squeezes into.

The only one unhinged here is you. Coming in here to reply to a two week old shitpost of mine to make this about me instead of the subject of my post. That says more about your state of mind than it says about mine. Pathetic.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
