db0 is mischaracterizing the dissolution of eastern Germany in way that reads to me as transphobia, or at least could be seen as dismissing actual things trans people said. East Germany wasn't dissolved due to the choices of its population, it was crushed by nato encirclement and made to reunite with the nazi west. Queer east Germans at the time were worried about losing rights, but db0 is characterizing this as less meaningful than some broader dissatisfaction that east Germans had with their socialist state, which simply wasn't the case.
To me as an American it reminds me of how liberals would tell me I'm gonna end up in a camp for queer people if I don't vote for Kampala Harris. Like it's a pure dismissal of me and my political orientation in favor of fantasizing.
db0 is claiming it's perfectly reasonable that people would overthrow a socialist state while betraying queer people. Which is simply a foolish way of seeing the world, because what does that say of db0? Are they saying it's a more noble cause to overthrow a supposed police state dystopia in the name of anarchism than to worry about the consequences for minorities?
