abondoning the idea of revolution or DotP because online stupidpol takes convinced you that the majority of leftists (especially young ones since we are talking decades down the line) are -and will be- homophobic stupidpol people and so any potential revolution will have that character and be dominated by it, has strong "made up twitter guy" energy
Its a legit point we should make that we should have to keep these people down and away but why would people think that its nearly possible or realistic that "leftist" people like this would dominate a revolution and the society afterwards ? Enough to peace out from a revolutionary movement or project pre-emptively decades before it may be even possible to begin constructing it
I dont think stupidpol,racist and transphobic opinions and people just existing as a small minority inside the left (that constantly becomes smaller as time goes by and that doesnt even do much) and socialist projects being homophobic a century ago coming from illiterate peasant societies warrants seeing this as some immediate threat or as something that is possible to happen

thats the correct response to the dramma yes
I'm not going to be used by a 'revolution' and then be tossed away for the same racist and bigoted bullshit that happened in the previous system.
