The tankie try-not-to-be-a-raging-class-reductionist-queerphobe challenge: impossible.

I always got the sense when talking to class reductionist tankies that they were simply thinly veiling their bigotry and the “no war but class war” was just a way they could try to appeal to others while redirecting away from their own abhorrent beliefs. Just another example that tankies aren’t really that different from MAGAts.

They want to bring together the working class of the left and the right but only on the social terms of the right since they know they can’t challenge their bigotry and still win their votes. So instead they want us to shut up about our struggle for rights and only mention what they deem the “correct” struggle.

    There are trans people on the internet saying we should resist universal health care because some countries have shown hesitation when it comes to covering youth transitioning.

    I’m here for these people but this proposal is stupid beyond belief. Unfortunately the identity-obsessed sometimes fight for this kind of absolute non-starter of an issue and it is in fact actively harming the greater good.
