Literally everything can be coopted and instantly going like that the moment u see a queer person be stupid is sus

Ultra silly to give a shit we use "u" and not "thou" or whatever

Are you forgetting this is in response to an image where the OOP was quite literally demonstrating my point of how queerness can be redirected as an anti-Communist force if the person is uneducated and still believes in the myth of the individual.

If a straight person is being anti-communist, which btw is a lot more likely to happen, given how much more widespread reactionary views are among them, your accelerationist ass would never accuse them of "their cisness and heterosexuality being easily co-opted by capitalism" even though that is literally how cishetnormativity functions under capitalism.

You're lucky you got away with a three day ban, you absolutely would have deserved more.

So you said

some sliver of merit to how China regarded homosexuality as a bourgeois element. It is extremely easy to turn it into an individualist pursuit.

But it doesn't seem that easy to me. In the US it required COINTELPRO to effectively destroy any sort of mass queer movement, right? And certainly many imperial core queers do buy into the individualist anticommunism of it, but that's primarily because it "benefits them" seeing as they're part of the imperial core. Probably easier to swallow the (obvious) lie that NATO nations care at all about the rights of queers, and that 'THIRD WORLD COUNTRY BAD' if the state telling you this also implicitly promises to uphold imperialism/white supremacy for you. Now that's a benefit for the average white queer in the US!

And naturally due to this, it's at least understandable nations in the imperial periphery are wary, especially of interference from NGOs. But in the same way that capitalists often need the working class to act against their own interests, it took a lot of setup to get queer people to be active participants in imperialism. Which does not mean that there's any sliver of merit in regarding queer issues as bourgeois, or even that it's fair to say they're "very easy to co-opt for the bourgeois". Also, since queer issues encompass a lot more than just sexuality, and sex is by no stretch "the very base of the needs pyramid" I don't really rate that quote.

Apologies if I'm reiterating things others have already said in this thread.
