Do you remember when those old Facebook videos of Marjorie Taylor Greene came out? A lot of left-wing commentators started calling her by her maiden name as a sign of disrespect. Just about the tamest, most inoffensive thing you could do to someone you hate as much as we hate Marjorie Taylor. You might have noticed that that stopped pretty quickly. The reason? Because some brainiac figured out, "what if this causes someone to deadname trans people?!" and we just couldn't take such a massive risk. It never ceases to amaze me how much tranny bullshit gets prioritized over anything else within progressive circles.
Some of this is actually
why I side with the transmedicalists and consider the AGP/troon contingent to be LARPing/delusional usually White men.
This fits with the
normal behavior and priorities of Progressive circles. Yes, they say a lot of things about hating ebil cishet White men and how they're to blame for everything. But they also are clear now that they're ideological descendants of the early 20th century Progressives. You know, the group who embraced people
Hitler considered thought-leaders and role-models? They
literally produced the model laws that were used to draft the Nuremberg laws, and a lot of the racist laws on the books in the US are thanks to
them. (A lot of the racist laws prior to that are best understood from a framework of classism.)
Yes, they make pretty noises about *~*caring*~* for minorities. Some of it's just saying really very bigoted shit using 'nice' words, which is the standard MO for the anti-racism movement--when you get down to it, they're just saying things like "Niggers can't help being ghetto because that's just how niggers are" indirectly. When it comes to Queer issues, of fucking course they choose to side with (usually White) Gay men over everybody
else.
Well, until you got troonbians who are pretty much all lying and/or delusional straight men, some of whom are prison gay because huh, natal women don't wanna fuck 'em. And they're mostly White! It's like the wet dream of Progressives.
I mean, a lot of this is super-easy to remember simply from the fact that the entire damn movement started with a sometimes-explicit statement that of course Western Europeans are the pinnacle of Progress with generally a side dish of White Man's Burden being to drag everybody else along while they, of course, continued to show what the pinnacle of correct progress was. The only thing that's really changed is that they do seem to realize that sort of shit isn't socially acceptable to
admit to anymore.
That said: I honestly don't believe any of the Tranchers are consciously taking advantage of this. With them it's more that they're a bunch of tards who have stumbled across a grift that works, and gets them the gibs and asspats and privileged and ability to act morally superior to everybody else they want. They don't really understand the moving parts; to them it's just 'press button, (sometimes) get rewards.'
That's why we see the competence levels on the grift; they don't really understand how this works, just that this works. When it completely stops working, it'll take time for that to sink in for them--even if it's absolutely obvious to everybody here that the grift is well and truly tapped out. Over time, some of them might realize that truth and move on.
I expect Kev, at least, will never figure it out. He'll just keep trying, confident that
this time there will be a payout!
(Kev would be addicted instantly to slot machines and you know it.)
