"It's baffling to me that hexbear claims to be the most trans-positive space online while also having mandatory support of Hamas, the Houthis, Russia, Iran, etc. as a core part of the site culture" (sh.itjust.works)

I know that there are a lot of trans people on hexbear, and I know their beliefs are sincere. What I don’t understand is how they square the fact that they would be brutally suppressed, r*****, tortured, murdered by the very groups/governments they unwaveringly love and support. It sickens me. Is it a manifestation of self-hatred? I just don’t get why they would degrade themselves like this.

i-love-not-thinking "It just baffles me why a self-declared vegan woman would firmly support treaty rights, land back and tribal sovereignty for Pacific Northwest Indigenous groups when that literally includes Makah people killing whales as part of a tradition rooted in patriarchs' authority over women and slaves. Surely the humane and feminist thing to do here is to support the status quo of Makah women living in widespread poverty and ill health as a direct consequence of the settler-colonial paradigm, right‽"

Quoting Engels' speech "For Poland" (March 24, 1875)

As long as the independent life of a nation is suppressed by a foreign conqueror it inevitably directs all its strength, all its efforts and all its energy against the external enemy; during this time, therefore, its inner life remains paralysed; it is incapable of working for social emancipation.

Indeed, I've got a Hell of a lot more in common with a cishet Palestinian man than a non-binary Zionist settler, as sure as I've got a Hell of a lot more in common with a cishet homeless man than a non-binary cop.

Damn that's a strong quote. Engels really doesn't get his due.

It's Castor and Pollux syndrome. People like to simplify things.
