This. Marginalized folks have every reason to trust progressive bourgeoisie and managerial strata over fascist white settlers who want them dead.we have every right to deplatform fascists and reactionaries and class reductionists and science deniers and ensure safety for marginalized and vulnerable members of our communities. We have every right to demand the destigmatization and normalization of sex work, mental health, fat positivity, pornography, drug use, decolonization prison abolition police abolition family abolition the sexual enmancipation of children and an end to white supremacy and the gender binary.

Instead of pandering to the most backward secrors of the working class we should lead the way along with the most advanced ones, black and indigenous people, and queer/ trans sex workers. Sex workers 2gnot the straight male labour aristokkkracy who are at the vanguard of the proletarian movement, women and queer people taking the means of production into their own hands by refusing to perform unpaid sexual and emotional labor for white men. The real class struggle is not in factories but in womens bodies. Sexwork is a threat to patriarchy the capitalist system itself it is radically queer because it goes against the idea that sex is for the reproduction of the nuclear family and the patriarchal ideology of romantic love. Its a means for workers to take the means of production into their own hands here and now to abolish the distinction between the private sphere and the public, between work and pleasure and self expression. To break down the walls of lily white christian suburbia into a brave new world of pleasure rebellion and freedom. Yes it is true what they say about us queer postmodern neomarxists We are gonna groom all your daughters to be whores and your sons to be nympho trans seworkers.

This.Science has proven the existance of mental conditions as products of chemical imbalances in the brain that are most effectively treated by medication. The denial of mental illness isnt radical but a cover for systems of domination based on institutionalized ableism. Many 4chan users are neurodivergent but have internalized the ableist prejudices of the wider society rendering them vulnerable to radicalization by incels, transphobes, russian bots or white supremacists. it would be far more radical to adopt an intersectional equity perspective that places evidence based treatment and the lived experience of mental health consumers first and foremost in its intersections with gender race sex worker status, internalized stigma against the use of hard drugs. Besides it plays into the arguments of reactionaries to imply queer peoples identities are based on trauma and not on objective scientific and psychiatric authority.

No, it's that PoC don't share the same religious obsession with vaccines as whites do, and PoC have had first hand encounters with vaccine colonialism in Africa and understand the importance of informed consent, especially when taking experimental medical procedures from giant pharmaceutical companies that are white owned. So I really have no clue what you're trying to get at here. You clearly don't live in reality and feel you are so special as a white person that you may speak for PoC. You're the biggest racist.

Is the right wing pro-union now?
I just got home from one of the union halls by me (cheap drinks, gambling's allowed, no swearing or loud music in the hall. pretty great place, ngl), and I'd say it's probably a 60-40 split between hardline fox-news "the blacks are ruining everything" right-wing types and slightly-less-hardline "hey, my wife is black" moderate-left types (mostly somali refugees, they're a big part of the town and quite alright people).
Everyone grumbles about union dues and whatnot, but every time the company threatens to send their manufacturing to an anti-union state or tries to screw them over on their pensions or pay, they forget about all things political and get SUPER serious about fighting back against Corporate.

Just wondering what the rest of the country is like. If the modern right is starting to flip to a pro-union position, they will gain a TON of moderate votes whose jobs depend on their maufacturing jobs (and general sense of community; it's scary when the union starts baring its teeth) being protected by strong unions.

What? Remind them that’s just the company paying the union to exist. They like to put it on your paychecks to confuse you.

Oh, sorry, that's not how they're grumbling! There's a 'war chest' set up (managed by an elected union rep) in case workers have to strike and legal counsel has to be brought in. Not a single person is grumbling in the walmart-indoctrination "they're stealin' our moneys!" way; everyone knows what the money is for and why they are paying it, because it has been used time and time again. It's a common joke done in jest (making reference to any anti-union propaganda) that brings everyone together more than anything.

The black and brown working class aren’t progressive either. They’re not right-wing, but they mostly tolerate socialists as a means to an end. They don’t love LGBTQ and high abortion rates.

This. I’ve spent more time with these people than those who view them as imaginary pawns in their fairytale. Ask lowerclass black guys what they think of trannies and gays next time you get a chance, maybe suggest that their kids could be gay. Be sure to equate their racial predicament to trans people as well. You will have a very enlightening interaction by hearing out these marginalized voices, you might be missing teeth by the end of it though.
