Don't worry everyone, I'm sure someone somewhere is worse and that makes this okay somehow.

Tell that to the homeless people forced to play frogger across the interstate near where I live. And the entire working class neighborhood whose flood risk was ignored by the city for decades until this year because it got mostly destroyed.

Camping bans are persecution. Building shiny stuff instead of taking care of people is persecution. It's not bold or in your face but it's real.

Bruh what the fuck did trans people/trans allies have to do with the circumstances that created these issues? Stop using them as a scapegoat.

Anti homelessness is very real and very obvious but I've never seen a fucking pride parade advocating for the removal of safe spaces for the unhoused. I do regularly see politicians advocating for that shit though.

They pass laws protecting the rights of LGBTQ people (Which is awesome). And then they pass laws to criminalize homelessness while they profit off the current state of real estate. (Not awesome)

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

In my experience, the politicians that are out there passing laws to criminalize homelessness are usually the ones that are more outspoken against the rights of LGBTQ people. In any case, trans people's existence has nothing to do with anti homeless laws. Stop trying to conflate the two.

They are both oppressed minority groups under capitalism. This is utilized under the class system to make oppressed minority groups within the system compete with each other for rights.

To go further, hypothetically, the Democrats may advocate for rights for dog lovers while making laws against the cat fans, while Republicans might advocate for the cat fans, while making laws against dog lovers. In that way, the government makes citizens vie for rights while diminishing class unity.

Well yeah, that's the point. They're two different issues and people who support trans people do not necessarily support other oppressed groups. I've been trying to point that out this entire time.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I don’t think they understand that upstream of these intersectionalities is an indictment of capitalism.

it's a haha funny about the conflation being made in the original statement.

I'm just smashing two things together, and saying that one caused the other, much like they did.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Then you need to re read something in the chain.

no i understand the point they were making, they stated it in an utterly shit way. That left shit tons of room up for interpretation.
