I came across a post requesting to remove Nutomic from the Lemmy devs due to a comment he made here. In it, he suggests that the ruling class promotes both LGBTQ+ rights and transphobia as a means to create division among the working class. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this perspective. Do you agree or disagree with his viewpoint? What other topics do you believe are used to divide the working class? Let's discuss!

I feel like this is the best approach. An ally is an ally. If they have weird, socially unacceptable, or poorly thought out ideas, but they

aren't acting on them,
don't promote them,
still act in good faith on issues we have in common,

then they're fine for the stuff we care about. The right has built a big tent because they understand this. We're only holding ourselves back by subjecting each other to purity tests.

As always, there are limits, but generally we need to build more coalitions.
