any plans for you or your team to be less transphobic koos? haven't posted here in months because of it, just wondering if you all have done any reflecting or personal growth and regretted being reactionary bigots at all. cheers.

A big flaming stink posted:

the last time we had one of these koos went hard on defending earnest questions about whether or not trans femmes should be allowed to compete in sports, and this was a followup on the monkeypox comment from walensky, yeah.

yep, the stated position and intent behind the current ruleset and moderation environment is that bigotry is fine as long as you have something you consider to be an argument for it; if you're trans or gay it's permissible to assert and/or imply you are a groomer and possibly monkeypox vector - in defense of koos and the mod team here, this lines up ideologically with what the democrats stand for as a party. the fact that i personally find it to be inhuman and morally abhorrent has no affect on either the democratic party or the mod staff. so I really see no reason for me to engage further with either. c'est la vie.

Just as a general rule, if the thread wants a debate between Marxists and non-Marists, I don't think it should start with

"This is a thread for those who want to discuss Leftist theory and write long screeds"

Speaking as a non-Marxist who doesn't want to read or write long screeds and who finds Marxist theory incomprehensible. The thread seems like it's intended for inter-Lefist discussion, which is fine. The name of the forum isn't just Debate. It's Debate and Discussion.

Personally, I'd just sometimes like to be able to look at USCE and have a discussion on a current news event without it being derailed into how yhe US is a terrible country and part of an inevitable slide towards fascism, but I've come to terms that that won't happen, so....
