Lmao venturing out into the other instances results in instant contact with brainworms. Thank god there's some sane people out there combating lib nonsense.
What leads people to believe that being an ancap isn't right wing? It's utterly delusional and a complete misunderstanding of the most basic political ideas. There's so much of this shit in that thread, idk why I even looked, it's just pure reddit-isms the whole way down.

I've been running into a crazy amount of reddit brainworms in the federated instances recently. Yesterday I ran into someone who said trans rights were controversial and comming out in favor of protecting them would hurt the dems, so they shouldn't mention them
a lot of "progressives" have taken up this stance because they got permission to from The Young Turks, who took a transphobic turn a few years back. complaining about the term "birthing person" as if it fucking matters, then going on to tell their audience "trans sports just isn't a winning issue, we need to focus on something else". that and their hatred for the homeless lmao.
Just wanna point out ol' Cenk was always shitty about trans people. I remember (internet cringe memory) The Amazing Atheist of all people criticizing Cenk back in the late 2000s for being anti-trans.
My stepdad watches the Young Turks a lot
Are the Young Turks still influential? It seems to be an issue that goes up to the highest level of the Dems. Hillary said the same thing a couple years ago.
Reminds me of people about Israel Palestine. 'Its complicated'. If you think it's complicated to oppose human rights or to stand against genocide... At the bare minimum, remove yourself from my presence
what they really mean is, they're 1. uninformed, and 2. too fucking stupid and spineless to say "nah" when someone accuses them of being antisemitic
