I went into that thread to talk to them but holy fuck, these replies are essentially demanding trans people self harm
No you in fact do share a lot, it's been my experience overwhelmingly that our experiences are very uniform. I can talk and relate to people from all over the globe trivially, things are that shit for us everywhere. This sort of rhetoric is detrimental to the survival of the trans community, and is purely for the sake of ideology. For fucks sake, 90% of trans people are socialist. This is essentially encouraging trans people to check out of the community that helps them most (and I have had one person internalize this argument in person! It led to total self ostracization of help for ideological reasons). Sectarianism is so fuckin ridiculous, and is even more ridiculous in the trans community. In my view, it's incredibly important to have large non corporate trans spaces, it is easier to translate online activity to real world activity with trans people because we're desperate to get good things happening. This rhetoric tries to interdict that
Trans people get food and housing in these states, which is the biggest issue to fix in the west, based on my experience working with people. Mutual aid and charity have unfortunately been unable to tackle this completely, and regardless, the rhetoric before interdicts even anarchist mutual aid
Specters still haunting
They're trolling you now https://raddle.me/f/TankiesGonnaTank/178095/i-suppose-gulags-are-sorta-food-and-shelter-congrats
Lmao gulags? Prison slavery is legal in the US, and those prisons are privately owned with quotas to meet.
But please, lecture me about gulags
I've seen these places personally, members of the communist parties in these places are real people who work very hard to create a better future for their community and the world.
I know this is a bit account mocking a truly pathetic online anarchist, but the rhetoric that members of communist parties are in actuality selfish and looking to simply enrich themselves is absolutely enraging. It's projection, simply, it's absolutely not the reality in any way whatsoever.
