@CaribenxMarciaX Yeeep, I am pretty disappointed to see just how widespread the problem of moral narcissism is on here.

@thufie Quite honestly, it's the whole system of capitalism doing this, forcing us to work our entire lives away and keeping us worrying about making the next rent.

Studies have shown that people under constant stress have limited cognitive capabilities, because a lot of brain power had gone to worrying about survival.

The chronically busy are often kept unaware or dissuaded from any form of activism outside of the ones they can't avoid.

You can see where I am going with this. I am willing to play for small gains, but my eyes are firmly on the big prize, internationalism, disarmament, the death of interventionism and the ultranationalism that feeds into it, and the death of capitalism.

@CaribenxMarciaX Exactly, I think the need to hear my story of how I used to be from 2015-2018, because that was absolutely a definitive proof that a trans poc can be toxic to other people, even those of their own group, and it seems that a lot of other leftists don't see that.

There needs to be a frank discussion on the Fedi's failure to hold itself accountable.

@thufie Regardless of what happens, I am going to continue doing agit prop, because that's all I really can do right now.

@thufie It also benefits the people who are born to lower-income families in the US, LGBT folk who gets pushed down the social and economic ladder into a vulnerable state, and have no means of escaping the country.

Not having to worry about your HRT being taken away because republighouls decided trans people deserve to be pathologized and treated like lepers is one thing, I mean there are a lot of things Trump is going to do if he gets 4+ more years that would spell disaster for a lot of vulnerable people that Biden simply won't be caught dead doing.

The road to liberation is long and hard fought. I don't find the all-or-nothing attitude of puritopians to be helpful at all. We'll be in a better position to fight with each small victory we get.
