Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Comrade knows exactly what your saying. The entire premise of us having actual tangable principals being some sort problem that needs to be solved is a reactionary framing of this to begin with.
"I'm a leftist, but I'm willing to debate the right of marginalized groups to exist"
"I didn't read what OP wrote but decided to pig pile him because reality bad. Dunking on libs good."
people read what you wrote. it sucked so they're tearing it apart. really simple shit.
Any organization hosting anti-trans viewpoints should be immediately dissolved. It's not a measure of purity, it's not up for debate. Anyone who isn't vocally pro-trans rights is not a comrade of mine. Trans rights or nothing. No facilitation of anti-trans views.
The only debate to be had is if transphobes should get re-eduaction or lined up against a brick wall.
did you read anything I wrote?
OF COURSE
I read exactly what you wrote and I disagreed with it. There will be no compromises with transphobes, even if we are "losing the war on austerity because of our purity." I've had this exact discussion with parties I've organized with. PSL for instance has frequent struggle sessions over transphobia and bigotry. The conclusion I reach is always the same, no compromise with transphobia.
If you're saying all this shit as some kind of mental gymnastics to justify voting for Democrats or whatever lib party exists for you, just do it. No one cares. Vote for whoever you want and then go back to organizing.
Furthermore you're a nerd who should stop posting.
Increasing the size of your text is incredibly obnoxious.
Nice edit
Somehow I got neither
