yeah, i agree. saying [marginalized group x] is ALWAYS comrades is just wishful thinking and stereotyping. You always have to be on your toes and never assume people are revolutionary by default just because they’re a member of a marginalized group. People say this is “not worth bringing up” or “tone deaf” but that isn’t very convincing.
That’s a better wat of putting what I was trying to say. When I was a younger queer person I just kind of assumed anyone who dealt with what I did growing up would have compassion for other marginalized people. I found that was often not the case
