I know that there are a lot of trans people on hexbear, and I know their beliefs are sincere. What I don’t understand is how they square the fact that they would be brutally suppressed, r*****, tortured, murdered by the very groups/governments they unwaveringly love and support. It sickens me. Is it a manifestation of self-hatred? I just don’t get why they would degrade themselves like this.

    If they genuinely sympathized with the innocent citizens of, say, Palestine, then they’d understand that the best thing for queer Palestinians is Palestinian liberation, not the defeat of Hamas, as once Palestine is free the wheels of social progress can turn as well. Crushing Palestine doesn’t free the wheel, it destroys it. The same applies to all countries targeted by western imperialism that liberals attack on the basis of being socially reactionary.
