Without the likes of Nithya Raman, Zohran Mamdani, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the DSA is NOTHING. The National DSA is just an idiot tankie circlejerk that has accomplished NOTHING in America. It is the DSA right that has given them EVERY SINGLE VICTORY THEY HAVE EVER EARNED.
What they fundamentally don't get is that the closet is not escaping oppression, it *is* oppression. It oppresses basic human needs that cishets are privileged to take completely for granted, and it still does not reliably protect you from being raped and/or murdered
@anan_de_gushi@tinglespoon I like this as well, I think we can just get into the weeds when it comes to labeling someone who is socially transitioning, but not medically.
hi everyone, i want to clarify some things about what i said on stream yesterday.
1) when he was first caught looking at paywalled, deepfake content of female streamers, it seems people forgot that the specific page shown on his stream was of me.
i didn't say much at the time because i was so uncomfortable, publicly humiliated, and i didn't think it needed explaining because it was so obviously wrong.
2) i appreciate that he spent thousands of dollars helping remove ai/df content (3000$ of which was offered to me specifically), but i've had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars towards that same effort. regardless, no amount of money undoes what happened.
3) i'm not trying to cancel anyone or be the arbiter of who can do what. i'm simply sharing my feelings about something that publicly happened to me, and the ways in which it's affecting me today.
as he's become more involved in events and with people close to me, i've grown particularly uncomfortable. as far as i know, no one has really checked in with the women affected about how it makes them feel. other people forgiving him is their choice, but it doesn't mean i can't share my perspective on it as well.
one thing i've seen happen far too often is the rewriting of history, particularly as it pertains to issues like these, so i prefer to stand my ground so the narrative doesn't get twisted. hope this clarifies things!
@tinglespoon I see it in some trans men as well. I think there’s a desire to make the trans experience into something neat, tidy, and easily understandable when it just isn’t.
@RealEvanDoThin1 Skimmed through the episode and go figure, this troon wrote in a scene where he brutally murders a guy for misgendering him. Can't make this shit up lmao.
DSA-LA members trying to explain how a self proclaimed capitalist who supports increased police budgets and refuses to support BDS is going to be a major boon to socialist organizing efforts in their city (you just don’t live in LA you don’t get it)
