He's mad at "state-capitalist" countries (socialist dotp's with any remaining market economy) for "sacrificing marginalised" people. But then in the next breath he opposes police states (the US, UK, etc) even if they're trans friendly (they're not).

OHHH the context for this is that China statement from a couple days ago right? Lol. Ok I understand now.

Very convenient, when you don't want to acknowledge anything good about socialism you can just say it's not socialism.

@db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com what is a socialist that supports China in your head? Do you call them "state capitalists" to avoid acknowledging that they are socialists? Or do you just do the whole "red fascist" larp?

I think it's genuinely fucking disgusting that you would suppress wins for trans people in any capacity. It fills me with revulsion. I think if someone posted about a positive trans thing happening in the US you would not remove it for "this is not to do with socialism" because you would still think in your head "yay trans win" and justify trans victories as relevant to socialism... But for China? You suppress it because of your feud with socialists. In this capacity you support the US and capitalists more than you support socialists or even the wider left at all. The priority in your head is "I don't like China and I don't like that this makes them look good" and that's literally the only thought you were having when you wrote this shit. Zero consideration of what is better or worse. Zero consideration of trans people, who are just a weapon for you to wield where it benefits you, or suppress where it does not benefit you. Zero consideration of historic context. It's complete dogma.

Did it ever fucking enter your mind at all that sexuality and trans issues showing support and progress in China is HUGELY beneficial for western lgbt people because the west is forced to compete or relinquish its presentation of itself as the most humane and progressive countries of the world? You're literally harming trans people by suppressing shit for your dogma.

You might be misinterpreting the comment. It was in reply to the recent post about trans rights in the GDR, crossposted on dbzer0. So the "state capitalist dystopia" I presume is the GDR. And its not that "state capitalists" are sacrificing the marginalized, its the "dismantling" [actually unification]

Oh it was a GDR thing? Yeah I'm definitely misinterpreting then. I was guessing from context that it was about (https://hexbear.net/post/8546416)

Still though it's fucking WILD to behave this way about the GDR while the west was chemically castrating men for being gay. What a dickhead. Many of the rights lgbt people have today are because of the GDR leading the way in Europe causing the rest of Europe to be forced to follow.

Nah, relations with the instance have usually been warm but specifically cold to their admin. It's funny that way.
