these people are, if they aren't conscious of the moment and what we're up against, perhaps the worst possible left-gesturing influencers i could imagine to have such status during this moment of rising Strasserism.
"aww shucks guys, this absolutely irrelevant detail that only muddies the waters so other MRA, white supremacist assholes like me can smirk our insufferable way through more podcasts isn't rape apologism or victim blaming, it's ABOUT *ethics in political journalism*!"
A lot of men simply don't see consent as a red line and are quick to find excuses for violations of it. When a guy they like is accused of sexual violence, their instinct is to empathize with and defend him, perhaps b/c they don't want to get in trouble for similar behavior...
@NerdeenKiswani Apparently this guy has proudly turned this viral moment into his signature motto and has developed it even further to reflect his current participation in anti-Palestinian pogroms
@Espurr963 There's also the issues of international strategy and international alliances. Those things are of course relevant to domestic politics, but obv they shouldn't be used as distractions from the tasks we have at home.
Post reactionary shit – get blocked. It's very simple, I don't have patience for bad-faith actors who constantly justify transphobia, racism, and sexual abuse
@AvawaveMaoism Tying transness to a dysphoria diagnosis and "biology" is not "taking the trans issue seriously", it's reproducing the dominant transphobic ideology. Also, you constantly post transmisogynist takes such as this one by NCC. You literally called it a "truth nuke"
@AvawaveMaoism is NCC really connected to the CPI (Maoist) or is it a state-backed body? Some Indian maoist intellectuals like Ravi Narla (who wrote caste and revolution) and Seema Azad seem to think that they're a state-backed body.
@fake_trans@AvawaveMaoism They are redbaiting legal defenders of imprisoned Maoists by calling them members of the CPI (Maoist). They're also reproducing all the Brahmanist and misogynist rotten theories around the Nazariya circles, while speaking on behalf on CPI (Maoist)

@AvawaveMaoism Recently, the fascist Indian state brought out the trans act 2026 which defined trans people as a person with variations at birth in characteristics such as primary sexual characteristics, external genitalia, chromosomes, or hormones.

Are all US Maoists sectarian LARPers with reactionary views like that? So far this seems to be the case
