I get the feeling most of the critics to this post don't actually live in the US. When it's you, your family and your friends in danger of being shipped off to the death camps, no amount of philosophical masturbation matters in comparison.
I'm trans and live in the US, I just also have an actual spine.
The way people talk about Palestinians today is the way they'll talk about trans people tomorrow. Based on the logic of lesser-evilism, if the next election comes down to a democrat who wants to genocide trans people, and a republican who wants to genocide trans people and some other group(s), then you'll deploy the exact same arguments about supporting "lesser genocide." No one is safe once we accept this logic, at that point it's all about trying to shift to target onto another group's back to protect yourself.
Solidarity isn't just about doing the right thing, it's a practical survival strategy. It's about different groups banding together and recognizing that an attack on one is an attack on all, and that no amount of genocide towards any group is acceptable.
How are you blind to the fact that Republicans currently want to genocide trans folk...
Because they're delusional. There are some love letters to China in their history. I guess genocide is fine if it's against Uighurs, huh?
Do you have any
evidenceto support this testimony?Get a clue, buddy. "I'm trans and Biden bad, China good." So you do support genocide.
The weird part is you think having Donald win will turn the US into communism instead of a capitalist authoritarian hellscape. Or, I suppose you think that will topple America so that "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" can expand across the world?
Protip, genius: the "Chinese characteristics" are capitalism. They still have billionaires.
Do you have any
evidenceto support this testimony?I oppose Donald Trump for the exact same reasons I've stated for opposing Joe Biden... because he supports genocide!
Hold it!
Are you saying that you consider Deng's market reforms to be a right-wing deviation, and that you support hard-line Maoism?
How many Native Americans had The USA killed? Because they are still regulated to Reservations and have no real Representation in Congress to this day.
