As a queer person (agender) with a conservative dad, I don’t get why he says he wants to go back to the 1950s. What was so special back then besides his reasoning that times were simpler? I feel like it would be harder for me then as a queer person.

I don't really blame many of the Marxists here for being short on patience, much of the arguments we have are the same exact arguments we've had day after day. I do think patience tends to be more useful in dialogue, but I also can't expect everyone else to uphold that.

Take care!
