Does this guy work as a projectionist professionally or does he just have natural talent?
Also I love it when trans people are described as some sort of eldritch being from outside of time and space, whose gender is beyond human comprehension. To look upon a person saying "actually neither boy nor girl" is to immediately explode into a kaleidoscopic spray of bodily fluids transubstantiated into the physical essence of madness itself

that guy thinks he knows what "man" and "woman" mean. he doesn't, but he thinks he does, and anything else isn't a valid reference. Null pointers are a bit of an abomination in computer science as well.
Oh look, another one of these ”I'm left-wing, but also who cares about this gender crap?” assholes who'll devolve into spouting right-wing anti-trans talking points, probably something about women's sports, if you give them the slightest pushback
Yeah later down one of the comment chains they start talking about puberty blockers for kids despite saying they're all for rights for trans people if they're binary trans people so they definitely get more scratched as they go.
“If one should disagree with gender ideology, they need to be killed because they’re a fucking Nazi and definitely not a good fucking human being.”.
If you insist.
huge fan of describing having a job that you hate as "NEET-adjacent." the only Real Working Class of course are musclebound white men in overalls who clock in at the hitting-rocks-with-hammers and steam factory every day, and never complain or make trouble for the boss, and never take handouts from the government, and don't even know what a podcast or a pronoun is.
I said basically the same thing to him lol "You're one of those fucking chud-adjacent losers who think that "working class" means white 40something factory worker with a beard, a wife and 2.5 kids, and a litany of bigoted views huh?"
This guy calls people with jobs NEET-adjacent but probably also thinks landlording is a job
How is non-binary "beyond human comprehension"? It's so simple. You're not a 0 or a 1? You're not one of two socially acceptable identities? Then you're something else. That's all it means. Non-binary isn't a singular gender - it's an out group of people who aren't the socially acceptable genders. It's much like how intersex isn't a sex itself, but rather it's an out-group of everyone who falls outside of the socially acceptable sexes.

Lovecraftian
Nooooo! Men wear pants and women skirts! You can't open up my mind to the possibilities! That's scary! I don't want to think about how I'd like to feel pretty wearing makeup sometimes, or not needing to always be "one of the boys" you're giving me options to live my life how I want and I don't like it!
Non-binary isn't a singular gender
noooo gender is supposed to be one thing noooooo
"If one should disagree with gender ideology, they need to be killed because they’re a fucking Nazi and definitely not a good fucking human being."
This but unironically.
Anyone that says "gender ideology" is extremely probably a nazi, given that it's literally their language made up to oppose it.
The fact that they instantaneously mention that people call them out for being nazis after saying this demonstrates significant self awareness that it would get them noticed.
This is a nazi.
"Who cares about your gender bullshit there's kids in Africa starving"
"Ok we should help the kids in Africa"
"Who cares about the kids in Africa we gotta help our own people first"
"Ok let's help poor people here pay for food & rent"
"No"
You just cracked the code for "you can't care about anything whatsoever until you clean your room, bucko" ideology.
Swallow a handful of benzos, write a book, then cry while being interviewed talking about some random shit
Right, a more accurate response instead of "No" would be something about "inDiViDuaL ReSpOnsIBilItY" and "nO HaNdOuTs"
Being LGBT myself, I have grown increasingly annoyed and distraught at the inclusion of weird marginal gender issues into the fight for gay rights. I’m very sorry, but my country doesn’t have a Supreme Court that can just legislate gay marriage. If I ever want to be able to have a family, I need to convince people around me that gay people are normal working people who deserve rights like everyone else.
This absolute mastermind of socio-political strategy hasn’t even finished climbing up the ladder and already wants to kick it down. Man what the fuck!
“I cherish gay marriage with all my heart. I don't care how many lesbians, bis, and trans people I need to kill to get it.”
"Guys please stop being weird. I need to play nice and lick boots until my het masters let me marry and you're ruining the plan."
So fucking insulting to workers to assume that in order to be working class that you have to be bigoted as shit.
Also fuck you, you can't make me gender. Try and make me, I dare you.
Also fuck you, you can't make me gender. Try and make me, I dare you.
Notice how the common reactionary "joke" is that there's too many genders, yet they also hate people that don't care for even having one?
Life gave me this gender and I set it in the corner and just muttered "cool, thanks, I guess" and did nothing with it
He goes on to say that nonbinary identities are incompatible with gender abolition and shit.
fucking how? if anything i am the final form of gender abolition. i have already abolished my gender.
Generally the claim transphobes make is that queer people acknowledging that gender norms exist are what cause them to exist (and not the much, much higher number of cishet people who reinforce those norms).
In this case, they're pretty obviously a fascist trying very badly to pretend they're not a fascist, so their arguments are even more incoherent than normal.
i don't think that guy is a gender abolitionist but given how well he understands everything else i'd expect he thinks that
a) anyone is working towards that at all, and
b) people who ID as anything other than "none" or the well-established big two are somehow making that work harder.
or he's just incoherent and i'm giving him credit by way of projecting my experience with "haven't got one of those" not really fitting in trans or NB spaces despite semantically not identifying with birth assignment and not being binary.
This is where you can really tell their bullshit. Trans people and enbies are doing the hardest lifting when it comes to gender abolition just by existing
The Tumblr and TikTok memes part is such projection
Every single anti-communist "leftist" I've met admit that they primarily get their politics from YouTube video essays, BreadTube, Reddit comments with lots of upvotes, CNN headlines, Twitter, and skimming Reuters articles written by a bachelor's in journalism
They've never actually looked into any sort of data or statistics, never researched the sources cited in the news, no cross reference checking, never read anything written outside of the West or even the Anglosphere, and never read anything political by an actual scientist or historian
Same, I never felt like I fit into any bin and it was only because of hegemonic levels of misogyny that such a thing is even normalized in the first place. It's just exhausting, nobody asked for this why do these shitheads feel the need to be the genital police.
Chuds think that we as a collective species are only allowed to focus on the One True Issue afflicting humanity at a time, like reality is a game of Civilization or some shit, and any other problem no matter how lesser than that is insignificant and a waste of time to address while other, more important problems exist. Even though literally every problem they just described is caused by capitalism/fascism (but I repeat myself) and leftists are clear about abolishing capitalism and fixing all the problems it created, to include disease, hunger, homelessness, and everything else that isn't being fixed because it's not profitable to do so.
It's because they are doing what libs to and universalising their own experience (I get my opinions from social media sites like R*ddit and YouTube), applying Orientalist and neo-red scare notions (Chiner controls TikTok and it's corrupting the minds of the innocent!!), and then projecting this out onto communists (therefore communists get their opinions directly from TikTok).
You see this same thing coming from Va*shite hives on places like r*ddit; they ask the circlejerk why tankies are tankies and the answers are invariably that tankies are such because:
They are dogmatically anti-American
They have a latent desire to have authority over others and they're using the guise of socialism as an attempt to create this set of social relations
They are crypto-fash
They want an excuse to worship dictators
They are brainwashed children who are ideological weathervanes
Imo this speaks more about the person expressing these views that it does about what tankies actually believe and how they arrived at their politics. They're essentially just telling on themselves without even realising.
Most Va*shites and baby leftists are in their late teens or early 20s.
Most Va*shites just want an excuse to denounce "authoritarian" leaders (i.e. those who are opposed to western liberal hegemony.)
Most Va*shites are incredibly comfortable with Va*sh cosying up to the far right and handling them with kid gloves, with regurgitating far right talking points and in adapting the phraseology of the far right (VDS, anyone?), and in excusing circa-fascistic actions of NATO and the US armed forces abroad as well as domestically (strange how they were so vehemently opposed to the concentration camps on the border right up until Biden came in and, despite interning more migrants in those concentration camps and continuing the construction of the border wall, you don't hear a peep about it from them today.)
They (obviously) are ideological weathervanes and they'll agree wholeheartedly with Va*sh's anti-trans rhetoric or his anti-PoC rhetoric and then they'll turn around and claim that they're pro-trans and that they care for PoC, and they have zero theoretical grounding for their political beliefs.
In my experience, whenever I've drawn one of these clowns into regurgitating the position that Marx was anti-authoritarian or that I'm just a stupid tankie who is indoctrinated and who hasn't actually read any theory, as soon as I start flexing my fluency in Marxist theory and knowledge of Marx's position on authority (including with quotes) they fall silent immediately and scurry back to their echo chambers where they can find people to reaffirm their beliefs and preconceived notions because the cognitive dissonance is too much for them to handle.
It is desirable and necessary for an expert in the production process to have a position of intrinsic authority in their purview though, is part of what the essay argues.
Have you seen insulin production plants or microchip production plants that will just let somebody do something dangerous to themselves or the production process contrary to what the person in charge demands? Could a non-employee just walk into a clean room past security?
When things get big enough you start to need both kinds of authority.
Libs have never heard the word "intersectionality" before so they can't understand it when they see it. They can only understand Marvel and Harry Potter viewpoints
Its counterpart is "not real jobs" which was paraded around during the chatbots-fucking-over-workers struggle session.
annoying
There is a specter haunting internet liberals: the specter of normalcy.
while the planet is dying, while people are still hungry, while homelessness is rising in the West
While all that is happening, meanwhile... that concern troll is very concerned about culture war shit and hating people too different in their identity and expression.
