While I don’t like corporate pride I’m scared about how many companies aren’t participating this year for fear of backlash. (hexbear.net)

Like last year they kept the rainbow flag profile pics up for the entire year. Now they aren’t doing it because they are fearful of some lumpenproletariat boycott. Reactionary workers are worse than pro-lgbt bourgeoisie. I’m gonna side with whoever respects the rights of trans people to literally exist and if neither are gonna do that then fuck both of them!

The media isn't floating in space either, which makes one wonder "What is the actual source of this change?" And I do mean wonder, I don't know.

I think imperial decline has lead to the bourgeoisie choosing to pick their battles and accept trans genocide as a sacrificial lamb to keep the hogs from causing too much of a problem for the ownership class, but if you asked me nearly any question about current-day America, my answer would be "imperial decline," so I'm definitely biased.

imperial decline

Crisis of capitalism too. I'd have to check my dates again, but iirc, the real reactionary chud freakout about LGBT+ issues started during the pandemic. It was probably a convenient smokescreen while the govt shoveled trillions in free money to keep the stock market alive.
