GDF argues that Zionist lobbying e.g. AIPAC is the main historical reason for US support of Israel, and not Israel's usefulness to the US as a military base.

He bases his argument on the influence of the Israel lobby forcing the Nixon, Johnson, and Clinton administrations to prioritize Zionism over American and US capitalist goals.

"weird cis guy energy" is liberal identity politic nonsense. Use material analysis.

Is it really antimaterialist to say that when a group of mostly cis people are extremely harsh to a trans person, but lenient against cis people who make similar mistakes, it might be a sign of cis brainworms? I can probably phrase that in terms that are more materialist but the message is the same; I don't think it'd be any different if a mostly white website was being weird about POC.

I think this is almost certainly a case of confirmation bias of you stringing together two people to form your own narrative to conform to a theory of identity politics. Unless you can show me the users who actively did this this seems like idealist thinking to claim it inherently transphobic rather than hypocritical.
