Xi rides dragons and also “rides” dragons. xi/drag person-independent pronouns. That means xi’s pronouns are the same in first, second, and third person.

It’s impossible to have leftist infighting with MLs, because they’re not leftists.

Drag has been banned from many places for many things. From Blahaj for trusting Ada; From db0 for complaining about transphobia. Not from here.

Drag hopes the grid produces too much energy at night and fries everyone’s fridges. That would lead to a lot of public outcry and hopefully they’ll repeal this bill.

Drag doesn’t think the Koreans have oppressed the middle easterners. Or the Ethiopians. Or the Cherokee.

You can change Jesus. Just not to races that have appropriated him as a symbol while oppressing his people.
- Comment on Going back in time to see how the fishes and loaves trick was done 1 week ago:
You can’t change the race to reinforce historical and present power dynamics. Changes that don’t affect the dynamics or which counter them are fine.

No. Point’s more nuanced than that.

It’s like when a Discord moderator puts a rule that says no politics on their server. Everything is political, so now they can remove anything they don’t like with a justification.

You’re not being attacked. People are just refusing to give you free money. Lemmy.dbzer0.com doesn’t have the same problems, and they’re communist.
You can either dig your heels in, cry oppression, and stop working on Lemmy, or you can listen to other people and work to be someone they think deserves their money. “Identifying the goal” doesn’t change the outcome. And it’s wrong, too. Lots of communists on Lemmy who don’t like your server.
To paraphrase Gandhi: “I like your communism, but I do not like your communists.” People just don’t think you’re a good communist. Insulting them isn’t going to get you money.

Here in the communist movement, we use actually existing communism, or AEC, as a model. You guys emulate failed states like the USSR that collapsed without ever achieving communism due to administrative mismanagement. We emulate economies that successfully did communism for thousands of years.

And the fact that you don’t want the anarchists to win is why we say you have no belief in left unity and aren’t a leftist. We ancoms, syndicalists, soulists, mutualists, trade unionists, anarcho-pacifists, transhumanists, market socialists, egoists, and so on will sit over here in our big leftism tent and actually get work done while you guys argue about theory and try to fracture the movement apart.

You want a “socialist” revolution, and would turn your nose up at a communist revolution creating communism immediately. Drag thinks you have to support the idea of a communist revolution in order to be a communist. Unless you already live in communism.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 week ago:
They claim to be orthodox Marxist, but they deny that and many other things Marx said. Like that the revolution must be worldwide. Stalin created the idea of “communism in one country” as part of his “Marxism-Leninism”, which doesn’t have much to do with Marx or Lenin. They get all their opinions on Marx and Lenin from Stalin, who was co-opting their images to promote himself while betraying their ideals.

No. Communism has existed in the Americas and Australia for thousands of years. But the lemmy.ml mods won’t admit it. They think communism has never succeeded.

Every state burns oil. Therefore every state is oppressing drag. You logic would only work if they weren’t harming everyone. Besides, the Palestinians and the Ukrainians have asked for our help.

Drag doesn’t think Nutomic is smart enough to make the point you just did without saying a slur.
- Comment on Please consider supporting Lemmy development 1 week ago:
Drag hopes their financial system becomes desperate enough, and enough people say it’s about lemmy.ml, that they realise they have little choice but to take lemmy.ml offline. If that happened, they would still be able to develop for Lemmy full time, and the tankie nonsense would be gone. Everyone wins.
If they would rather get jobs and stop working on Lemmy than take lemmy.ml offline, then drag’s none too pleased with their priorities and is comfortable enough with seeing them go. Someone will fork the software and keep working on it.

Drag sees the effort you’re making and is grateful. You aren’t causing offense.
Yes, “biological male” would be scientifically valid language - in part - but it would not minimise harm. Trans women is much better, you’re right. Drag says it would be scientifically valid in part, because the trans women competing in the Olympics are required to no longer be entirely male. They must be on estrogen and testosterone blockers. That means regardless of what happened in the past, their body is currently performing many of the biological processes of a female, and not many of a male. In the parts of sex relevant to athletic performance, trans women are entirely non-male. Drag would say they’re females, except that trans women actually tend to be weaker than cis women due to lower testosterone. All bodies, male or female, produce testosterone. With testosterone blockers, trans women are at lower testosterone levels than a cis woman.
The only thing I see them denying is that the same group of people spreading trans rights are also the ones spreading transphobia…which sounds logical to me?
We, the trans community, spread trans rights. We pressured them into putting LGBT flags on buildings. The Olympic Committee are not the government, they’re a private organisation, and they weren’t pressured to allow trans women by governments, they were pressured by a group of scientists employed by the IOC Medical Commission (initially, in 2003. There have been developments since then).
We have been saying the owning class is attacking us for years. It should be obvious from Trump’s attacks on transgender people that billionaires hate us. And Rupert Murdoch owned media has been spreading transphobia all over the world for a lot longer than that.
If you’ll permit drag to speculate as to why: Capitalism and patriarchy are very closely linked. Trans people’s existence is a radical threat to the patriarchy at a basic level. If anyone can be any gender, if the “objective reality” of gender is destroyed, then gender oppression becomes nonsense. Rich white men want to preserve the social system that keeps them at the top, and trans people’s existence makes it obvious to everyone that they shouldn’t be.

Huh. Drag misremembered. It was just a community ban performed by the lemmy.ml admins, and it’s expired
Drag will have to unblock that community and post more leftist history until the ban is permanent. Shouldn’t take long.

If the state had agreed to the students’ demands for minimum wage and the right to strike, there wouldn’t have been any instability. Suppressing revolutions with tanks doesn’t make society more stable. Sounds like the USSR sucked just as bad as the USA if they fell for that easy bait.
