The DHS quietly updated its policy manual earlier this month, removing LGBTQ+ identities from the section prohibiting surveillance based solely on immutable characteristics.
Yeah. I remember telling someone this kind of thing (and they were in several at-risk groups) when they were busy lecturing me about some minor point and how since I didn’t tick any “intersectional” checkboxes, that I should just sit down and shut up and listen to those that know better, and oh, by the way, they might even vote for Donvict just to show people like me all about my privilege (?!). Or yeah, vote for Jill Stein or the equivalent, because fuck you is why.
Or words to that effect. I’ve had conversations much like that online and IRL in the past ten years or so. I’ve seen others lectured like that in nearly the exact same way by some of these ridiculous scolds, often aimed at people that probably were 95% or more in agreement with them, but not edgy enough or whatever, so therefore, they were put in the dreaded “liberal” box by the self-professed uber-leftist (or even self-declared communist in some cases). Oh, no, not…the liberal label!
Sigh.
I’m sure all that high dudgeon aimed at allies will be quite comforting as their real enemies make their intentions quite clear and start carrying out those plans…they can tell themselves that they were absolutely right to lecture people on the proper terms and language to explain how the liberals are basically the same as Republicans and that Democrats are the flip side of Republicans…
Again, to all the fuckwits chanting both sides; this is what the Nazis declared they were going to do all along.
You are all complicit.
