I think the right-wing talking points bot has spewed up a new angle, because I'm suddenly seeing lots of 'concerned citizens' saying that pulling down the statue was racist because the statue was made of black gunmetal, they used a rope (so it looked like a lynching!) and most of the 'baying mob' were white. :psyduck:

Radlib IDpol poo poo is more useful to the right than it is to the left, I've been sayin', and seriously your instinct to mock it there is absolutely correct. No-one spitting out hot takes that The Lumpenpeople Are Actually Racist Because X gives the slightest gently caress about helping ethnic minority people have better lives, they especially aren't humanists that think everyone should have better lives, literally the only thing those 'concerned citizens' care about is delegitimising working class people having the gall to do things independently.

I also don't think anyone in their right mind, or who matters, is going to take that seriously. It's the same stupid right wing joke they've made for ages about colour as it applies to race and other things, "hurr hurr you wanted more movies about people of colour what about shrek hurr hurr"

If the takeaway is anything it should be that people can do what they need without waiting for the approval of the peanut gallery.

BLM isn't identity politics, it has actual statistics on it's side that black people in the US are objectively and provably more likely to be victims of police violence than citizens of other races are, that should and luckily does disgust people across racial boundaries and it's also intellectually unjustifiable, on first principles grounds it offends every ideology from ancaps to communists, basically everyone except the nazis, that's why it has such widespread support, even apolitical white people are on side from the last polls I saw.

Degrading BLM to being just an expression of identity politics is loving grotesque tbh it objectively is more materially coherent, post-racially supported and objective than that.

It's been objectively correct for a long time but I don't think people are out protesting because they suddenly read the statistics, they're out because of messy poo poo like emotions and identity.

Podcasting is Praxis - Episode 41 - The Old World Is Dying is now out!

The episode was recorded back on Wednesday (I am bad at time management) so doesn't have anything about slave dunking in unfortunately, but we've got two separate recordings planned for this week where Events will most certainly be discussed!

This ep featuring Junior G-Man, Coohoolin, Ferrosol's first outing and the long awaited return of Rarity.

Enjoy!

I watched CosmicSkeptic interview Douglas Murray (I know, I know). They were talking about trans people and the movement and Murray made the claim that trans and gay people cannot coexist because trans people will erase gay people. They do this by trying to convince young gay people that they are actually trans. I don't know many gay or trans people but I can't say I've seen this. I know there are efforts to identify trans people young so the transition is easier but if you're gay rather than trans then, even if you're quite feminine, you'll probably understand that you're not trans. Is there a big worry that I'm not aware of that trans people are erasing gay people?

"They are stealing our lesbians" is TERF prime about trans men, and the idea that a trans woman is the final evolution of a gay man, like some kind of bigot pokemon where you go bi -> masc gay -> femme gay -> cross dressing -> trans comes from actual loving nazis so should be given the same credibility as 'race science' and Jewish banking conspiracies.

It's probably a legacy of the old confusion between homosexuality and trans people.
The old comedy portrayals of gay men as acting in a feminine way and cross dressing. Or the "lesbians have to be butch" and "all butch women are lesbians" stereotypes.

They set up the boundaries in their own head, and seeing those being broken down is a threat. It's easier to assume that someone AMAB who is attracted to men is gay, rather than confront the idea they may be a woman, or bi.
Hell, this doesn't even account for the existence of trans people attracted to their own genders, but that's a different strategy they'll use to attack trans people.

It's interesting why this is the case, and not like the position in Iran (which is terrible in different ways) where it's easier to assume that someone AMAB who is attracted to men is a woman, rather than confront the idea they may be gay or bi.

Also interesting how sexuality (sometimes orientation, but sometimes just how it is experienced) changes with HRT.

Thanks (and to you Tindalos), that makes sense. It didn't ring true for me when Murray was saying it but I don't have enough of an insight into the LGBT community to see what is actually going on there.
