So Ana Kasparian from TYT did the classic: 'The left's focus on identity issues divides us! I'm done with it!' after being called out for being a TERF and repeating typical transphobic right-wing rhetoric, which she constantly doubles down on.
This TYT called Ben Burgerfucker decided to defend her, while proudly proclaiming himself to be "socially progressive" and "pro-gay & trans rights", yet thinks calling out a fellow for spreading blatant transphobia is "identitarian scolding and purity-testing". Having believes means absolutely nothing to these idiots. Liberals will gladly defend TERFs as long as they're politically aligned with them.
It's always the same shit with these types of assholes. Conservatives do their culture wars, spread false narratives and implement laws criminalizing trans people's existence, and then when we defend ourselves and push back against the lies and bigotry that spreads even among supposed 'allies', all of a sudden we're the ones responsible for the culture wars and being "identitarian". Fuck off. And like any good class reductionist does, pretend like standing up for a minority and caring about their struggles is a distraction from class politics and fighting for better material conditions, just to hide the fact that you never really cared about said minority's struggles in the first place, and will gladly throw them under the bus because you don't care what happens to them. Also, the TYT are , yet they'll conveniently pretend they care about improving material conditions.
And yes, in that video Kasparian used the term "identitarian" to refer to intersectionality on the left. That term is literally used by Pan-European ethno-nationalists to describe their fash ideology, and she's trying to equate us with them. Another typical chud strategy. But apparently it's working for her audience, because even fucker Ben, the so called 'socially progressive' wanker is using that term now, and can't fathom how any of that is characteristic of someone shifting to the right, because like the typical he is, he doesn't want to look in the mirror and admit he's full of shit, and that his social progressivism is just performative bullshittery.
Every single day I lose more faith in these so called 'allies'. Fucking useless.
My rant is over. Gonna grab some more ganja to relax.
I'm pro-trans, but will also defend people who defend those who think trans people shouldn't exist.
