wait nevermind I'm looking in the notes of that last post I reblogged and she is mocking someone for "believing in Uyghur discrimination [in China]" and citing pinkwashing and putting gay rights in air quotes. the latter could be explained as genuine criticism of western governments and not explicitly homophobic (cuz they DO often insincerely use queer rights as a cudgel while genociding trans people domestically and such), but the former is just reactionary shit?
they may just be a dumbfuck. if they respond with some reactionary shit im blocking them.
#i swear one of these days i gotta stop engaging these people in good faith#the vast vast majority of MLs are just reactionary midwits#being correct in your analysis and/or intelligent doesnt save you from being reactionary#many a genius has become conservative cuz they just instinctively feel trans people are weird or immigrants are scary or whatever#being right doesn't make you good. and being good doesn't make you right#or based on vibes they just assume “nah the country i like doesnt discriminate against this racial group. my source? i feels it”#or they do some midwit shit because they resent the fact that their ideological positions are so similar to conservative retards#so they pull out poorly sourced citations and misrepresented statistics and studies with bad methodology and eloquent debate tactics#all to come to the same conclusion as the dimwit of “that racial group isnt actually oppressed here/yeah queers ARE bad for society/etc���
