Man I don't know what future posting that might be I'm just winging it but this is a really weird connection I'm surprised hasn't been frequently made. More importantly it's a connection that I think will hold some strength in convincing lgbt people, particularly because support for palestine is so strongly formed now and distaste for israel absolutely cemented.
Weird day for me. Had all kinds of weird thoughts suddenly pop out like this. Like brain cylinders all just decided to fire at once.
I'm half wondering if these commonalities are actually there across all the other bullshit. Might be a whole bunch of other connections in other identity issues that use exactly the same bullshit self reinforcing feedback loops.
I mentioned in a different reply that this isn't a new thing and you can probably find ancient authors discussing it. Just for fun, I checked a list Schopenhauer published circa 1851 that was basically just "38 things I've frequently seen assholes do to win debates" and lo and behold:
A quick way of getting rid of an opponent's assertion, or throwing suspicion on it, is by putting it into some odious category.
"Re-education program? Sounds pretty authoritarian to me. Quit spouting tankie shit." etc.
Obviously Schopenhauer is highly fallible and this is a discarded listicle that even he himself didn't like that much, but my point is that this is a common thought that may not be as present in the public consciousness now, but has been at various points in history among various groups.
Using examples of prior writers remarking on it (but without formally naming it) adds weight to its existence in my opinion. This kind of thing would strengthen it in anything written about it.
