Got into it with another leftist that was praising Joti Bror, a British communist TERF piece of shit. Their defense was “you don’t have to agree with her on [sic] the trans stuff, and still appreciate her analysis of other things.”
No motherfucker, I can get better analysis from people who don’t invalidate my or my comrades identities. I don’t have to listen to her for shit, fuck off with that. TERFism breeds fascism every fucking time.
Goddamnit.
Anyways yeah I just wanted a space to vent. Probably won’t reply or anything.
I’m pretty comfortable with reading/listening to analysis from people who think I should die, but I would never go to them to actually learn? I think of it more as an exercise of my own ideology when I try to understand someone with whom I clearly disagree.
I would never actually praise any of these people, they exist solely to absorb my derision and help me solidify my beliefs in the face of constant pressure to conform. Anyone who reads theory and is into terf shit is probably just fash with bad reading comprehension.
