Another fucking lib was lecturing me that the only choice I have is which guy I endorse to commit genocide and I broke down and listed all the shit I've done fighting for a better world my whole fucking life, all the trauma, all the pain, all the horror, all the hard work and sweat and tears and misery and frustration. And they just smugly replied "Oh yeah I'm very political myself I've seen people like you and we just let you pretend to be freedom fighters" and I hate them all so much.

    Libs are useless. I recently had a straight white lib tell me that I was doing violence against queer people by not supporting Biden despite the genocide. They admit that Biden supports a genocide. They're okay with that violence though. They aren't okay with violence against queer folks though.

    When I reminded them that I am queer and that Biden is already doing violence against me and my comrades they told me that I don't know what I'm talking about and that I don't speak for the queer community. As if they, a straight, do. Oh yes straights please keep telling me what's good for me. Can't even pretend to be an ally long enough to shut the fuck up and listen to queer voices. We need more straight people to tell me what's best for the queer community because we're clearly too dumb and queer to know ourselves apparently.

    Man, fuck libs. At least conservatives will tell me to my face they don't think I should exist. Pretending to care about me and my comrades while actively trying to erase us hurts more.

    Anyway comrade I've seen your takes on Hexbear enough to know that in whatever context a lib is telling you that you're wrong, the reality is that you're actually objectively correct. Don't back down you're making a difference and no lib on the planet can take that from you.

      They're okay with that violence though.

      I see this constantly with the US/Saudi genocide in Yemen. I have never made a Lib care about what the US did to the Yemeni people. Not once. Most of them won't even accept that the deaths happened, I've never gotten one to accept the widely accepted understanding that the US deliberately targetted food, water, and medical infrastructure to create a famine to maximize civilian deaths. All their pretense of human rights is meaningless.

      Thank you for the kind words. We're gonna make a better world, even if it takes a hundred generations.

      Straight democrats tolerate the queer community as a matter of practicality. They would throw us into camps the millisecond it becomes politically expedient. The struggle is just a musical to them. Locking up the queers would not affect them materially, so they really wouldn’t raise too much of a fuss if it came down to it. They want protection money in the form of a vote for genocide.

      Queer democrats ridin’ with Genocide Joe… they’re not gonna make an exception for you once we’re all blamed for costing him the election.

        These days when folks say they're supporting biden to save them from trump all i think about is forty years of triangulation and lurching to the right and "for every democrat we lose we'll pick up two moderate republicans in the suburbs" and "fund the police" and every senior dem being ambivalent about abortion.

        They'll turn on queer people the moment the gop collapses and there are suddenly tens of millions of new voters in play. The democrats of 2024 are now far to the right of Reagan.

        It's the whole liberationist vs assimilationist battle that's been going on for decades and decades. The assimilationists will sell out anyone if they think it means it will finally make society grant them "normalness" and the right to be just like all the other liberal ghouls.. And the first people they well out, always, are liberationists fighting for a better world.

        Remember too, most straight Democrats over 50 or 60 (so pretty much all of them in power) spent a good part of their lives thinking gay or trans people to be “icky” or people who it’s ok making jokes about and dehumanize. I mean I was around in the 90s, this wasn’t true for all of them but most Democrat-aligned folks would say pretty awful shit about gay people but then just tack on a “yeah but if they want to love whoever they want to that’s fine I guess”.

        Look at Joe Biden. You think that guy, on a personal level, actually gives a shit about LGBTQ people? Do you think in his heart, he is bothered when trans people are denied basic rights? I have a pretty good idea what Biden thinks about trans people inside his own head - and if you could actually type it up and let everyone see it, it would be horrific.

        You think that guy is gonna lift a finger to actually help LGBTQ people in the US? That’s literally the only card these libs try to play - that by not voting Biden we are harming LGBTQ folks. But we already have his track record - not just as president, but his senate career. LGBTQ people will not be any more safe in 2028 with Biden as president than Trump.

      I wish libs were useless but they are in fact incredibly useful tools for fascism
