  • Liberals have had over eight years to steady the ship, and they’ve spent that time alienating marginalized people and progressives and going farther and farther right with afaik no real resistance to trump. They’ve spent those eight years proving that we can’t trust them at all to stop fascism or repair its damage. We should probably be pushing progressive democrats to start a new party with other more left people (though I’d fully expect republicans and the remaining democrats to team up and destroy their campaign so idk)






  • this comment was pointless, there’s no point arguing with you. just know that calling other leftists zionists out of pocket is a shit thing to do. you tear the left apart and make other leftists mad when you do shit like that. believe it or not, when you baselessly accuse someone of being a Zionist, they don’t react very nicely. try not being a dick in the future :3

    real shit I liked seeing you on posts before that, but now that I know you accuse anyone who doesn’t like the correct dictatorships of being a zionist, you just piss me off. don’t be so pointlessly antagonistic towards other leftists who agree with you on almost everything, is that really too much to ask?



  • Nothing screams mature like one or two dozen comments dogpiling someone who corrected what looked like super blatant misgendering. Why is it so important to dogpile somebody who corrected misgendering? Why not just move on like a normal person and not act like downvoting someone for pointing out misgendering isn’t weird?

    In the off chance you’re not arguing in bad faith here, seriously what’s the point of this? Somebody corrected some misgendering that looked blatant and pointed, and didn’t even have that strong a reaction to it, and you and like 20 others downvoted and dogpiled them for it. Why? And it started before lemmy apps were even brought up, so that’s not it. If you or anyone else who downvoted think trans people deserve respect, why are you spending so much energy punishing someone for respecting a trans person’s pronouns? Explain how downvoting someone into oblivion for correcting misgendering does anything good for trans rights












  • Again, I don’t see evidence drag’s a cis troll unless you take drag’s identity as evidence, and doing that is a real good way to wind up stuck and not accepting people you don’t understand. I’m nonbinary and not much makes me more angry or depressed than other trans people and “allies” saying I’m cis or that I’m responsible for trans people’s suffering. The amount of hurtful shit drag’s dealt with on lemmy must be a lot worse, and drag hasn’t done anything to deserve the amount of shit drag gets. If you have evidence that drag’s being disingenuous besides vibes lmk, otherwise quit equating identities you don’t understand or respect to blackface


  • I used to think drag was just a troll account making fun of neopronouns, but I don’t think that’s accurate anymore. Dragon Rider used to go by Dragon Fucker and uses “drag” as drag’s only pronoun, and like I used to, a bunch of people thought drag was just a troll. But if it’s a bit then there’s nothing to the bit other than a weird pronoun, drag just seems like a decent person from what I’ve seen. Drag also made a very genuine looking post about drag’s struggles with mockery and disrespect, mainly from .world users and admins, and drag’s struggle to avoid self harm over it. I think Dragon Rider is a cool person and people (including me) should give drag the benefit of the doubt, or at least avoid drag and don’t be an asshole if you don’t like drag.

    I think drag also once told someone who was feeling suicidal about the state of the world that they should fight rather than killing themself, and a bunch of people took it in cartoonishly bad faith and now say drag told someone to kill themself. Bc nothing screams “kys” quite like “don’t kys, you can do some good”
