Notably absent: ending gender transition care for all ages and erasing transgender people from existence under the law.

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Not really relevant to their actual goal of destroying democracy, just a little culture war to throw a minority under the bus so the masses squabble over it instead of the broader, more universally opposed changes.

[-] jvw@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago

Don't you dare minimize this. It's not a "little culture war," it's deliberate cruelty to a people that neo-nazis and Cristian-nationalists see as subhuman. It's evil and intentional.

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yeah but it also gets used to sweep normal people into all that neo-nazism because they're poorly educated and will believe whoever they think has authority to speak on the subject. The GOP can't be defeated by calling them evil. They have to be defeated by stopping away their authority and exposing, in plain and simple terms, how they're all hypocrites and that they will throw ALL OF US into the fire, not just the people whose identities are confusing.

The hate they are engineering is deliberate, but it isn't because they all personally hate queer people. It's because they do not care about any of us, and queer people are the easiest group to misinform the public about, so they can fear-monger and keep us putting out fires.

I'm not saying we should stop putting out the fires, I'm saying we should recognize that the fires aren't the goal.

Cruelty is happening to whomever is easiest to target for cruelty. Conservativism always leverages that to allow for hate to take deeper roots. Because people who operate solely off of hate are the easiest to control of all

[-] jvw@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yeah but [wall of text]

it also gets used to sweep normal people into all

Trans people are "normal people."

but it isn’t because they all personally hate queer people

Oh, but they do. They do. From the death threats to the "oh no I kissed a trans person gag sounds" "joke" to the existence of the Trans Panic defense. The ones who use us are also deadly serious with hate.

Look, I get it, your heart is in the right place. But when a minority tells you, straight out, "hey, this is not okay," pay attention, and put those hand-wavy digits in your pockets for a while.

Then let's all go fight fascism.

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)
  1. Normal people in this context CLEARLY means "not fascist" not "not queer", stop being intentionally obtuse. Queer people can be normal or not normal, and so can straight cis people. They're all individuals who decide for themselves how they want to live. Fascism is never normal though.
  2. I'm not talking about the uneducated right-wing populace when I say "they don't personally hate trans people". I'm talking about the leadership of the conservative fascist movement who recognize that generating hate towards queer people will further their goals. Some of them do it because they hate trans people, others do it because it's easy to manipulate people to hate each other for things they don't understand, and hateful people are less likely to think critically about a government that affirms their hatred.

Fascism is a multi-headed hydra, and queerphobic rhetoric is only one head. We need to defeat the whole dragon to stop the head from regrowing, and the first step to accomplishing that is to recognize the dragon as a whole.

[-] jvw@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 days ago

You're still doing it.

Blocked.

[-] Wilzax@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Leftist infighting continues :/

Edit: this whole interaction seemed weird to me, I'm not sure if I was dealing with a troll or a kid but I found a recent comment that gives me a bit more context to who this person is: https://lemmy.world/comment/10757207

I don't really feel too bad about being blocked by someone like this

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago

[-] Vraylle 5 points 6 days ago

I can't wait for them to get rid of birthright citizenship and only too late realize that means they must leave the country.

[-] kokesh@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago

Is this for real? Looks like something I would write to ridicule christian and tRump nuts .

[-] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Yeah. Most of it is laid out in Project 2025.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 6 days ago

Oh good. I was just thinking there are not enough dictators in the world and we really do need a second Russia.

Good old USA providing yet again. Without you life would be boring. Probably longer too.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 134 points 1 week ago

Looks like we’re gonna have to kill some fucking Nazis again

[-] nick@midwest.social 52 points 1 week ago

Guess im buying some more guns and ammo before November.

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago

Protect yourself and your loved ones. This shit is straight up tyranny.

I just don't really get why people even get behind stuff like this. There's just nothing for anyone to really gain and a whole lot for everyone to lose...

Even the mega rich and the corporations have to recognize that an unstable world isn't really a great place to live or do business right? Or is it just that they're so far removed from everything that they don't have to care?

By the time you're benefiting from this in a non-symbolic way, your net worth is more than you can conceivably spend in a lifetime... Go home, you're done!

[-] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

I think it's short term thinking. Probably something similar to the way investors think when they're on a mission to earn money, but end up causing enshittification

As I intentionally filter out as much US politics as I can, this has come out of nowhere for me.

Australia has a couple of really simple things baked into its electoral system to resist something wildly unpopular like this from getting in power:

  1. Compulsory voting. These MAGA crazies are not and will never be the majority. If everyone had to vote, they'd never get in.
  2. Proportional voting. We vote for multiple candidates. If our first choice doesn't get in, our vote goes to our second choice. Then third etc. we aren't forced to vote for a lizard just to prevent the worse lizard getting in (it still almost always comes down to two parties, though).

I know these are total non-starters for our American friends. "You can't make me vote, that's against the constitution or something".

[-] MudSkipperKisser@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Compulsory voting is definitely intriguing…even if you had the option to vote “null” meaning not vote for anyone but at least you had to make the effort to say something. The crazies I think are a relatively small portion of the US, they’re just SO much louder than everyone else

[-] dellish@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

A null vote here is a option. Colloquially called a Donkey Vote, or statistically reported as an Informal Vote, you can write nothing on your voting slip and put it straight in the box. Also since voting is compulsory it is held on a Saturday, there are usually sausage sizzles, there must be enough polling places open so you're not in line for more than 30 minutes, and early voting is a viable option.

[-] Sternhammer@aussie.zone 3 points 6 days ago

A Donkey Vote isn’t the same thing as an Informal Vote. A Donkey Vote means simply numbering the candidates in the order they appear on the ballot. In other words, a thoughtless vote that any donkey could do.

This is why there’s a benefit to appearing in the first spot and why the impartial and independent Australian Electoral Commission (another invaluable aspect of Australian democracy) randomly determines candidate order.

Wouldn't it be easier just to move to North Korea? There you can enjoy those perks from day one.

As a non american, is this funking real? Not a shitpost? Holy shit the more i read, the worse it becomes. Wtf.

[-] RecursiveParadox@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago

This is very real. You can read it here: https://www.project2025.org. You can google multiple right wing websites commenting on it for yourself.

Or you can watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYwqpx6lp_s

Believe people when they tell you who they are.

Another way to look at this plan is: how to create an unstable and globally uncompetitive workforce.

America will become a shithole country where no one will want to live or work. The rich will send their children to study and work elsewhere.

When America is inhospitable to everyone except to multi-millionaires or billionaires (who live elsewhere rn anyways, btw as they have multiple nationalities and passports), the rest of the upper class will jump ship to other countries, where they will always get to enjoy the progressive policies and culture they deprive others of.

Remember: if the daughter of a rich person will get pregnant, she will have access to abortion

If the children of the rich want to have sex, they will have contraception

The rich will choose to live in countries with Medicare and other social programs

The rich will always have access to rights, and would straight up be able to “buy justice”, like in countries like India, Pakistan, Mexico, Brazil etc

The rich will always be able to afford clean water and air

Project 2025 isn’t about race or lgbt or “fambily vablues” as the mealy mouthed hypocrites would have you believe. It’s straight class warfare.

All Americans are a target of the class warfare, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Even the rich are worse off because they get to enjoy the judicial process here in America, as opposed to getting robbed by the state as in Russia or China.

In short, project 2025 is a dumb cunt plan of no foresight or insight, and definitely not written by anyone who has goodwill towards Americans or any patriotism
