I responded to someone saying that Palestinians are transphobic so we should get to kill them. I guess it makes sense though, it's how liberals can live with themselves. If they don't think of an entire diverse group of people, or an entire religion, as transphobes or anti-lbgtq it becomes harder to support genocide. You just think of all of them as anti-lgbtq and maybe you can sleep better at night. (Not providing any evidence for this though of course.) They don't even hide they are racist any more. Amazing.

    if it's okay to bomb a group of people because a meaningful chunk of them are transphobic then that means there's moral justification to bomb international-community-1international-community-2

      Multiplying actual losses x10

      I’m not joking, the Ukrainians have been sticking to that formula since the beginning of the war. They exaggerate enemy losses by tenfold and undercount their own losses by tenfold. Zelenskyy is saying that there have only been 30,000 Ukrainian soldier deaths the entire war, just in complete denial of reality

        They had a standing army before the war of about 250k during pre war buildup, but they've only suffered 30k deaths? While Russia has had air, armor, and artillery superiority the whole time?

        And they are also openly conscripting any male that can stand and operate a firearm?

        lmao that's some weapons grade copium

          If they only had 30k deaths they wouldn’t be making the EU deport refugees back to them to use as cannon fodder

            I think a big part of it is that they'll do that thing where you only count a death and not a casualty even though that can mean a wound that keeps you out of combat readiness for weeks, months, or even permanently. Some dude with no foot because he stepped on a mine is gonna be hobbling back to the front at this rate like the worst stages of Barbarossa and the irony will be totally lost on the West.

              a big part of it is that the Ukrainian nazi state is filled to the brim with fucking liars who have never made an honest statement in their lives

            Right, and they wouldn't be conscripting greybeards (and prisoners) to be frontline soldiers either

            Wonder how long it'll be before we have a remotely honest count of how this went

        Nope it’s official Ukrainian military numbers. They are liars even in the “official” areas.

      There was some western report/claim recently about 500000 Russian losses (forgot where it's from exactly), which people/propagandist just assume/wish/spin means dead (it doesn't). This is after the Russians, a few weeks ago, officially claimed half a million losses on the Ukrainian side, so I imagine that's just "no u" propaganda.

    You heard it here first folks, not only did America as a nation deserve 9/11 but the specific Americans in the towers deserved it because some of them were probably transphobic, also we should do more 9/11s

    500,000 dead Russians

    Sure Jan

    But seriously, these people are the same ones who would take a job at the concentration camps because "They're the wrong people, they did a naughty or they wouldn't be in there"

    They also don't distinguish between Russian soldiers and Palestinian civilians. Half a million seems really high as well. You for sure label civilian death rate as a hate crime if they're a certain race or gender. That's kinda what a genocide is.

    Even if we take their 500,000 dead Russian soldiers number at face value (which I mean doubt) do they not see the difference between killing a soldier invading another country and killing random civilians who are just trying to survive?

    Friendly reminder that Ukraine bans males between the ages of 18 and 65 from leaving the country.

    That ban also applies to trans women because Ukraine does not recognize their chosen gender identity.

    "This is like saying ukra8ne is slaughtering lgbtq people cus they killed half a million russians"

    No silly the reason that Ukraine is killing lgbtq people is because it's made up of shameless self avowed neo nazis and gay marriage isn't even legal in the country.

    So close to getting it.

    Don't forget: part of the point of this shit is literally to further queerphobia. The people getting bombed are going to hate whatever they associate with their killers, and any LGBT people who call this imperialism out for what it is are going to be called "chickens for KFC", where the narrative of being too stupid to recognize one's own ""best interests"" is used to justify paternalism of LGBT people. It is really astonishing how effectively imperialism manages to present itself to so many people as the exact opposite of what it truly is.

    Lmao. How are they still coping this hard with their heads up their asses? Everyone admits Russia is winning. There’s no way they would be if they lost 500,000 soldiers. It is so stupid

    Who would have thought libs would use "concerns over transphobia" as a stalking horse for their own Islamophobia? Just kidding, Reddit atheists have been doing a version of that shit for well over a decade.

    This is what happens when you view politics not in terms of education or material conditions but whether you are a Good or Bad person and then make crass, sweeping generalizations on top of it.

    Idealism vs materialism

    They think that 1000 queer people getting killed in a proportionate amount of 10k deaths is less damaging to 100 queer people getting killed because they're specifically queer since it's only the intent behind the murders that matter. Not the actual murders themselves
