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
emphasize universal material issues
There’s that muh materialism leftist-baiting totem word again. It’s like how uses “logic” “reason” and “facts” in a sloppy way that sounds authoritative but is misusing the words for petty and selfish ends.
I used to assume it was just an occasional Hexbear thing to defend treats, but I’m seeing it more often elsewhere now.
it’s what’s come to be known as “vulgar” materialism, basically people going into analysis half cocked because they only have a vague idea of what materialism is
There’s an even more vulgar materialism that has the stench of Justin Roiland and his fandom on it that usually involves edgy reductionistic statements about how consciousness/love/insert-concept-here doesn’t exist or “is just chemicals” which is implied to mean it is meaningless, unlike being a smug nihilistic asshole which apparently transcends such fetters.
You sound unhinged.
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.
“Identitarian” is literally a thing that nazis tried to rebrand themselves to. It was also a popular fascist community on Voat.
Anyone calling trans people identitarians for calling out transphobia is just doing “the lgbt people are the real fascists” in a crypto-nazi underhanded way.
