    It’s the need to enforce hierarchy, you see it with the way they’ll talk to LGBT people as well

    cw for mild transphobia and racism

    “trans women aren’t women and as such we won’t let you have the legal status as one, no matter how badly not having that status ruins your life, but also you should be grateful to live here instead of the middle east where they’ll kill you for being trans”

      Fascism is the disturbing logical conclusion of the “gotta keep up with the Joneses” mindset. I fully agree they’re protecting what they perceive as their title as ‘king’ from ‘usurpers’. It literally is the TV trope offended by an inferior’s success…and they say we’re the politics of envy.

      I think many chuds just force themselves to hate any given minority. Because to them, they are “The Joneses”.
