    When "leftism" is definitely about liberating the masses and definitely not about validating your own personal quirks

        Except there is a material basis for being homosexual and transgender, hence why many ruling Communist parties are reexamining their lines on the issue.

          So if there's a material basis for using a neopronoun that we discover between now and ecosystem collapse, are you gonna immediately fix your bad takes?

      Decolonizing the mind is a prerequisite for decolonizing the land.

        I mean yeah, people are starving, dying from genocides, being kept as chattle slaves and being summarily executed on the streets but all anyone wants to talk about is fucking pronouns. Pretty maddening.

          "people can only care about one thing at a time. I'm very smart" Like c'mon i have no stake in this but that's a conservative argument, you can do better

          Don't forget all those diehard materialists who want to post the nth thread about China good and tankie/anarchist infighting. Very good posting.

        Fuck you. This is such an absolutely ridiculous thing to say. You're seriously comparing people who want to be called deer to the descendants of chattle slaves that are routinely summarily executed in the streets?

        And so it's not the same fucking thing because I'm not saying they have to leave or even that they can't ask to be called deer. I'm saying that making it a gatekeep that everyone has to put their fucking pronouns on their account, even when many say they're uncomfortable with it, and demanding that everyone conform to your social values in order to be a part of the struggle is counterproductive wrecker shit. This is 100% wrecker shit, it's done nothing but wreck.

            Idk why you keep saying that I want you out of the movement, but I want to know do you want to box out colonized people that are devout Muslims or Catholics that might be turned off by the demand that they adhere to your social values? How about people like those that said they struggle with issues of gender and don't want to be forced to choose pronouns or none/any? You're making everything about you. I'm explicitly not talking about what I feel. Because I understand that it isn't about me, and even if I felt uncomfy or targeted for something I can't control I'd still fight for liberation.

            And I'm glad you were enriched on your white savior trip. I'm sure the local peruvian laborers were glad you were there to work for free instead of them having to work for pay. They were probably bigots anyway

        Comparing an online pissing match about profile settings to the legacy of chattel slavery and Jim Crow is an extremely uncool, EXTREMELY white lib thing to do.
