Yeah it's such a well done conservative LARP that it's one of the only places on the internet I actually feel safe asking genuine questions as a trans person.
People from unfederated instances responding to hexbear comments with ridiculous bullshit- but they don't show up on our end.
@Summzashi@lemmy.one eat my shit and hair bigot
Doesn't China have free publicly funded gender affirmation clinics? Or like at least one opened recently?
They do, the comment is ridiculous. However this person is clearly not invested in what's good for trans people because they immediately misgendered me in their reply
more and more I feel like people who are both transphobic, and also project that on China are really telling on themselves about what they would do if they were in power. It always feels like "you're lucky our FREEDOM LOVING government lets DEG*NERATES like you exist!" It's almost more terrifying than the typical right wing blue hair enby boogieman memes.
I feel like there's a lot of people along for the ride when it comes to these narratives- like people who will seriously believe some military guy that spent the last two decades airstriking muslim weddings when he says with a straight face that he's really concerned about the freedom of east Turkistan
Just further proving my point that places outside of hexbear harbor and even defend these shitbags.
It really is just barely beneath the surface in the more lib instances. But then rather than deal with it they just play telephone to make it about how we're actually the problem
That's awesome I didn't know htat.
Oh no I never considered that a place I'm critically supportive of might not be perfect. Guess it's time to throw away all my beliefs and buy NFTs while sucking down whatever the dems are pushing in amerikkka.
Lmao they'd be treated with more kindness by state security agents than they would be some dipshit County sheriff in the U.S countryside.
It's fucking bizarre people keep hammering on this when the US is engaged in, I cannot emphasize this enough, anti-trans genocide as defined in international law. Like bruh. Bruh. Clean up your own house.
It's that brazenness which makes me feel compelled to respond. If you live in the US, claim to be on the left and can't even call for an end to your own government for its crimes I have no interest in your contributions.
Hahahaha little man is angry. Thanks for making my day soyboy.
You would be prosecuted and possibly killed by the Chinese government. Remember that.
Remember that you swallow every ridiculous piece of Atlanticist propaganda that’s fed to you.
LGBT rights and issues in actually existing socialist countries
It doesn't matter. There's no way you would even consider any point that doesn't fit in your bubble. You and all the other idiots in your fantasy world of an instance are a waste of energy. You are lthe same as any Facebook Trump supporter. Your politics are different, but the brainrot isn't.
I’m pretty sure it’s you who’s never explored outside their ideological bubble, because I was a bog-standard American liberal for over 40 years, until I actually read a book or listened to a point of view outside of that bubble.
anticommunists try to go 5 minutes without yelling slurs at people challenge [impossible]
I don’t know what removed is a substitute for or why they didn’t just use the original word: there are no algorithms here to circumvent.
Lemmy.ml added them at some point I think, because when I checked over on their instance they were using the r-slur
I had to google r-slur.
I think it’s safe to assume that you think of yourself as a conservative, a centrist, or a “liberal”, and all of those are liberalism:
Now you know why we use the word liberal with a seemingly broad brush: we are using its original meaning, as people in continental Europe generally still do.
I don’t know what removed is euphemizing, or why you’d euphemize it on a platform that has no algorithms to circumvent.
It's hilarious that you assume I'm an American.
Fair enough.
