    Funny how when others are called transphobic, it’s all hands on deck, no taking a moment to reconsider the facts or the context.

    But for some reason, this particular example requires caution? If you know Desalines, or the lemmy devs themselves, you’ll know that transphobia is just the tip of the iceberg of their extremism. Have a look for yourself: [email protected]

      It’s quite possible those tankies are the very same people excusing his transphobia, they already simp for Castro and Che, who rounded up gay people and put them in “totally not death camps” for their “mandatory service” where they were starved and worked and beaten to death, and they totally excuse him for that, too.

      Yeah yeah, “later he said he was sorry he had all those gay people killed in concentration camps.” Uh huh.

        Che wasn’t involved in those camps at all. And not only did Castro apologize, but ended up helping push some of the most liberal LGBTQ laws on the books in any country, including the US.

        You excuse the US for all sorts of stuff, I’m sure. Reagan ignored a pandemic, all your founders were slave owners, hell, your current President is helping with a genocide and I’ve seen people excuse that all over Lemmy.

        And for the record, even the tankie communities on Lemmy, like hexbear, disagree with nutomic’s comments.
