    And here I thought both transactivism and transphobia were clearly promoted by Russia to create discord in the west. It would kind of track with what Yuri Bezmenov was saying back in 1984: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yErKTVdETpw

    But if you disagree with the person who created the software you’re using, why on earth does that bother you? It doesn’t become unholy because of their touch. You can think of it like the old saying goes: “They Capitalists will sell us the rope that we will use to hang them”.

    Wow absolutely shocked. Not. I am a Blahaj user so not much of a threat to me, we can just move things. Tankies have always been a bit fucked in the head in terms of understanding left unity.

    FTFY: Nutomic’s stance on “rooting out” people who don’t exercise liturgy exactly as you want them to. And people scoff at the idea of this being a fundamentalist religion, even though it uses the exact same social patterns.

    Do I get to be in this shinigami shit now? Is there a way to mute all people who use that thing, or can I just wait for them to mute me? Either way seems like a win-win to me.

          Shinigami are a general Japanese concept. The soul reaper’s from bleach were also referred to as shinigami. Basically kami/spirit of death. I did watch death note aeons ago. And the character attached to the death note was also a shinigami. Though I don’t remember anything special in reference to it’s eyes? Meh I probably just missed it or forgot. Its been almost 20 years XD

            The eyes tell you how many days someone has left in Death Note.

            So if someone shows up as red they’re more likely to be an antivaxxer as they’re more likely to be ignoring science, their days are going to be fewer as a result of their ignorance.

    “The bourgeoisie” trying to stir up controversy and divide people? No doubt that seems very far fetched to any serious Communist.

      Yeah, it’s laughable that he thinks contradicting actions by those in power are strange. The whole point is to keep people squabbling amongst themselves about social issues and ignoring the constantly growing class divide going on.

      Both are important, but imo a poor trans person has more in common with a poor redneck than a poor redneck has in common with a rich white business owner. And everyone has more in common with each other than they do with any member of the true 1% (meaning not white landlords of one or two inherited properties, but the people who own organizations like Blackrock).

      Now if only we could get bigots to understand that instead of perpetuating more division between people.

        That’s the right idea I think, but keep in mind that there probably do exist at least a few poor trans redneck business owners.

    Classical Marxist/Lenninism is specifically not intersectional. They’ll use race as a lever against capitalism but deny race as a social problem they must specifically intervene on. But it’s also stupid to adopt. There’s a reason TERFs are often fascist adjacent.

      There are plenty of early leninists who were deeply intersectional. Alexandra Kollontai jumps to mind immediately.

      But yeah, there’s definitely a vulgar strain here that nutomic is clinging to.

      I think it’s like saying that Marxism isn’t… let’s say, Nietzschean. Those are two ways of looking into problems. In some points, they’ll coincide; in others, they won’t. I’m bad at analogies. Anyway, if you’re a Nietzschean (in this case, if you believe intersectionality is the proper way of looking at social phenomena), of course Marxism (probably in all its different branches) will look incomplete and like they’re building from the wrong premises to you. But if you were Marxist, you’d think the same of Nietzschean philosophy (or intersectionality).

      I’m sure both have excellent reasons to believe in a framework or another, but we should not forget they are just that, not truth™. I say this not to fall into an absolute relativism but to prevent any side from falling into a conviction of moral superiority. We cannot be so sure about it.

    Because why would the bourgeoisie want the masses fighting each other? Though he’s wrong anyway because the elite didn’t promote anything that doesn’t benefit them financially. While that includes turning the poor against each other, it also includes selling anything in any form to anyone regardless of want moral, ethical, or practical factors. If they can get you to pay them money for something with a rainbow on it, congrats, they’re pro-lgbtq. Because they’ve got another subsidiary that will sell the hate-fueled psychopaths that want to kill you their Bibles and.

      Yeah. That transgender is not a “topic”. It’s human and doesn’t have to be repressed any more. And haters hate that

    @[email protected] can you comment on this statement, or at least its veracity? Kind of fucking alarming even if it was a private correspondence. Sure as hell gonna make it (more) impossible for me to convince my trans siblings to join Lemmy if shit like this is allowed to fly. And I’m sure a lot of us are in similar boats.

      It’d probably help if you told them about blahaj instead of trying to pick a beef with a single code monkey you don’t have to interact with.

        I very much do not want beef with @[email protected]. I want clarity.

        I decided to actually tag him because maybe seeing a voice that’s “new to him” would get him to respond since he hasn’t responded yet anywhere (as of writing) and I didn’t see anyone else having tagged him.

        I commented in public because I want to be transparent about what I say and what he says in the low chance he responds, so that there’s no mucking about with screenshots and “leaking private messages”.

        I want him to understand that this is a serious issue that could jeopardize his life’s work and not just someone trying to get “dunk points” on him.

        It’d probably help if you told them about blahaj

        Already have, lol. So the instance is trans-inclusive, but how can I convince them that the software is trans-inclusive and isn’t systemically biased against them? They’re not technical people; I’ve tried explaining the difference between federated and corporate social media.
