On any of the donation threads where it came up and he replied to it, the most he ever did was some half hearted corporate PR “apology” (ironic)

    My point wasn’t that it absolves anything.

    The point I was trying to make is that just because someone makes a point of supporting certain actions a country does (reduction of inequality, public ownership of resources, etc) doesn’t mean they’re endorsing every policy that country has. Especially when they’ve clearly been critical of the stance that country has taken on that issue.

      You can’t pick and choose here, my dude. It doesn’t matter one fuck if you don’t endorse the way they treat trans people, you’re still supporting someone who persecutes trans people. It’s all or fucking nothing when it comes to human rights. Either you support trans people, or you persecute them.

      THERE IS NO FUCKING MIDDLE GROUND OR NUANCED STANCE ON THIS.
