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.

    Welp, nothing to be done about that except to mong war on that nation. Nothing says “peace loving” like bombing the shit out of a country, stealing their natural resources, and imposing a brutal dictator in place of theirs, but making sure he has even more troops and bombs than the old warmonger

      This is the most cognitive dissonance I’ve ever seen in a person. Their leaders are warmongers so we need to do warfare against them.

      ???

      And we’re talking about countries like Palestine, Iran, and Syria? Oh so countries that haven’t invaded anyone in like 100 years? They’re the warmongers? The only wars these countries have been involved in, within the past century, were from the other side, fighting off invaders.

      Modern Russia has invaded several other countries but I don’t think many of us defend the invasion of Georgia. I personally defend the invasion of Crimea for a bunch of reasons. The consensus around here with Ukraine seems to be that it’s an unfortunate reality of Russia being boxed in by NATO and this is the result.
