"#Horseshoetheory" is a term that #liberals use to claim that #leftists are actually #nazis.
#Authoritarian #leftists will talk like they have the high ground and then openly celebrate carceral #systems, mass #surveillance, and the slaughter of anyone some #politician deems a potential risk. Do some self reflection. You’re no better than #liberals.
A week after calling #trans women who aren't hetero "freaks", Shonda Goy Brianna Wu is now whining on Twitter about how she "didn't ask to be born like this."
I didn't either, Brianna. And I also didn't ask to have you claim to be the public voice of what is and isn't acceptable when you're trans, because much like the dipshit attorney who whined and got me kicked off Twitter for asking the yes/no question of "is heterosexuality mandatory to be trans in your vision of re-gatekeeping", Brianna has joined the be straight or you have to purge chorus from the far-right.
So...just to make it clear here, this is how the Overton Window moves in American politics.
1. Right-winger espouses fringe view, such as all trans women are "AGP". We'll use J Michael Bailey here given his Twitter bio.
2. "Moderate" Brianna Wu claims to be getting "pushed" toward right-wing views because the #leftists were mean to meeeee. Note that "mean" seems to correspond entirely with when she got in on the #Dollcast #Dollgrift.
3. Brianna's online presence shifts steadily to the right as her, ahem, creepy 1488 weirdo past comes to light. As #DeadDomain showed us, this person who now says trans women who aren't 100% hetero definitely *seemed* to have a record of sexually harassing women, and her past in the GOP in the Deep South is something someone now espousing homophobia...expects us to forget. Mmmkay.
4. The pronouncements get increasingly wild, culminating in calling trans women who aren't hetero "freaks" and then going on a loud and strongly pronounced "hiatus"...
5. Until something bad happens, and the open #Nazis start talking about rounding up all the trans women and suddenly Brianna is desperate, pleading...and using the far-right as a cudgel. Of course, Brianna gets boosts and approval from her coterie of what are essentially support group queens and the fawning circlefrot of greasy right-wing men who are strangely obsessed with trans women but won't say why. Oh yes, also circulate right-wing propaganda around the cowardly child killer.
6. Blammo. You moved the window. Great job!
BTW, Brianna, if you honestly think Michael Knowles will be less #transexterminationist if you get rid of the scary bad ones in your weird desire for nouveau gatekeeping...you are plum fucking delusional.
He hates you as much as he hates me. Actually, he hates me worse for my religion! But placation isn't going to make the Nazis go away.
Confronting their lies will. Try that, B-Dubz.
"It honestly #scares #me that so many #people (even supposed #leftists!) think the "solution to #mental #illness" is more #psych #wards, more #surveillance of the #mentally ill and more #forced/ #coerced #treatment as if the #goal is to somehow #punish and train the mental illness out of us instead of #improving our #circumstances and #rights in any #real way"
I don't understand how #liberals can think #leftists are so insignificant that they're not worth making concessions to, yet also somehow large enough to cost #Democrats #elections. Like, you do realize that you're contradicting yourselves, right?
Kaz Rowe does a cultural history showing "artists fighting McCarthyism, a passionate schoolteacher, and how the ren faire impacts how we view history"

I love this part. Liberals act like we #leftists can sway national #elections, but when we demand #concessions from the #DNC, we're told we're too insignificant in number
#Jacobin is really the king of commissioning older western white #leftists to write about the global south. This piece does no original reporting, has no Indonesian voices, and makes blanket statements.
It's not bad, but I can think of dozens of Indonesians who could have written a far better piece than this.

#identitypolitics #Hawaii #usa #Oprah #celebrities #politics #news #leftists Another reminder why identity politics mean nothing & why they are different from intersectionality. The rich are ONE class & your life does not matter.
I'm calling it now, the #Democrats are going to pick #Newsom in the hopes that his meme game will resonate with the youth, the debates will devolve into a homeless-hating contest, Trump will get a third term and the #liberals will blame #leftists, again.
In case someone has not considered doing that yet or knows someone who might benefit from this. #usa #politics #news #lgbt #lgbtq #2slgbtq+ #trans #transrights #leftists #communism
I’m quite left myself, but I still don’t get this ”#NATO wants war” nonsense coming from the prominent #leftists
All aligned with #Varoufakis, #Stevenson & #Martinussen. Except that Europe should for it’s own sake not try to have USA solve the issue of Russia attacking Ukraine. Making ourselves irrelevant.
For our own sake, we should end the war quickly by troops in Ukraine, then reap the benefits of peace ourselves.
It is turning into #China’s proxy war to weaken us.
Maybe I should start putting cat memes in my political posts, seeing how they get 1 repost, while the cat memes get 100s. & Bluesky was supposed to be a more political platform...

As leftists in the West, we keep saying Israel is trash & send mutual aid to Gaza. But aid isn't infinite. The working class is burning itself out while capitalists keep fueling the war machine. Mutual aid alone can't stop genocide! #palestine #israel #politics #news #genocide #communism #marxism
If there is no #Epstein #list, which #Trump would therefore not be on, then why are Republicans voting against release of the #EpsteinFiles? Why not exonerate him by proving the list doesn't exist?
Can we all agree, both #MAGA conspiracy theorists & #leftists, that something isn't adding up?
