Lol, getting mad about the important things as always.

Apparently they've been saying the blue guy had his balls out or some shit? I didn't see anything like that. Bro was wearing blue modesty shorts as far as I could tell.

    real. sometimes i think rainbow capitalism makes ppl more reactionary. like yeah, it makes LGBT ppl less likely to be anti-capitalist but it also promotes the association between LGBT ppl and capital, so the right can appeal to working class ppl with the “gay elites” rhetoric. its another way to divide and conquer the working class.

    it sounds rlly bad to say “rainbow capitalism is making ppl homophobic and transphobic”, but rainbow capitalism is an essential tool for the ruling class in keeping the workers fighting amongst themselves

    even before rainbow capitalism, “anti-rainbow capitalism” was used to create a scapegoat. now the right libs have LGBT as a scapegoat and the center libs have bigots as a scapegoat (a good enemy to have, but we should be trying to educate workers who lack class consciousness to rid them of their reactionary tendencies instead of seeing them as enemies). ultimately, it should be the privileged (straight, cis, white, male) comrades who educate reactionary workers, but there are so many “communist” pretenders (patsocs, ultras) who make that difficult. the ruling class has turned the difficulty up to “legendary“

      I mean you even see union leadership now saying shit about how DEI is the reason workers aren't getting raises. It's terrible shit.

        yeah, that teamsters leader talked at the trump rally. it’s getting way too close to the nazi arc. trump even has gay supporters that he’ll probably night of the long knives. i hate that libs have taken all the sting from the trump/hitler comparison bc 8 years ago he was nearly identical to the average republican. it’s the appeal to the national working class that really sets up the american reich. that and the fall of empire. look out for a few years when the US loses control of the middle east and possibly Africa

          I think the American Fascist arc will probably exclude wealthy white gays from the persecution. American fascism will always make exceptions for the wealthy, and they'll use those exceptions as evidence that they aren't actually prejudiced. As if letting a few white wealthy guys live somehow makes up for all the other evil they'll be doing

            Sure, but it's going to spare David Geffen and Peter Thiel, not your local lesbian orthopedic surgeon or the gay couple that owns six McDonald's franchises or even your bisexual landlord who owns 62 buildings in a major metro area.

              My only hope is that the fascists don't even consider Pete Butt judge as sycophantic enough for them.
