the line “your worst sin is that you’ve betrayed and destroyed yourself for nothing” is so raw you’d think it’s from a destiel fanfic or even hetalia but it’s actually from dostoyevskys crime and punishment

This rebuttal is at least as reductive as the slogan you are criticizing. When they ban trans rights they are not doing it because it benefits anyone. They are doing it because they are being cruel. Because they think they should be cruel. Why they think they should be cruel varies, but yes! Sometimes cruelty very much is (part of) the point. They would not agree with your take on cruelty always being bad, either. They would say it is necessary to preserve* "the white race"/"the job market"/"the sanctity of marriage"/[fill in your preferred soulless platitude here].
What the slogan "the cruelty is the point" is trying to draw attention to is that people are doing a thing not in spite of it clearly hurting people, but BECAUSE it is clearly hurting people. And that can be a very valuable thing to point out.
(*= not that what they are supposedly trying to preserve ever existed)
"the cruelty is the point" is probably the stupidest and most reductive slogan to come out of the internet left in decades.
"What if we stopped all political economic analysis and just said they're mean because they're bad instead?"
#anyway yes obvioulsy your analysis shouldn't automatically stop when you encounter this but#what I'm saying is it's probably a good thing to go#hey wait a moment this dude is just being a dick#even if he's being a dick for what he thinks are sound reasons#anyway all slogans are bad only sound political analysis gets you anywhere#but unfortunately in about 90% of the population if you try to make them do political analysis#they don't actually do the work and instead just latch onto the first angry emotion they encounter and wind up as raving lunatics instead

if you have a popular post on this site inevitably people will tag it with something like “croggles to bringles when they lost the ploogie in ep 10” and it rules. i have no idea what you’re talking about but you’re right this IS so croggles to bringles when they lost the ploogie in episode 10.

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally
