Agreed.

I’m all for emphasising class war.

But this “culture war” also includes the human rights of trans people, disabled people, migrants, marginalised folk in general.

I think it’s dangerous to say it’s unimportant. Yes the purpose might be to distract us, but if we let the right win, we are letting them literally commit social murder against groups of people. This isn’t about whether a gay flag is allowed to go on the street. It’s about if a disabled person is allowed to request accommodations and therefore have a job instead of starving to death. It’s about if a trans person has the right to exist openly without being locked into and abused in a psych ward.

That's by design. One of the fundamental mechanisms of right wing rhetoric is DARVO. They turn it around to accuse you of being the aggressor.

The fact that the root comment has 20 upvotes for two days without rebuttal until your reply is an example of why lemmy is no better then reddit. Wtf is everyone smoking that you all don't have grasp of the basic rhetoric by now.

Some times I think it's all theater. Any and all of this opposition. How much of it is controlled opposition... Maybe it's just two goals on a field largely controlled by the same team. Whatever. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to aggressively tell me I'm a clinically insane leftist.

If keeping everyone divided is the elites work then yes.

I dont think its that simple myself, but if you believe it is then yes does seem to be the answer

We can be angry, but we need to keep our eye on the prize. To get out of this we’re going to need to swallow our pride and work with people we don’t always agree with.

I don’t think MAGA are the most reliable allies. But there are times where our interests will align and we can work together.

However, we benefit more from allying with swing voters or those who didn’t vote.
