Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Tangentially related, but with the steady progress in China regarding queer rights, is it possible that we'll finally see attitudes in the Global Majority disentangle the concept of queerness from American imperialism? I may be way off the mark here, but I feel as though that conflation is one of the major stumbling blocks to queer liberation in such countries alongside the generic religious-based conservatism.
I sure hope so, its been building for some time but the recent pink washing by the imperial core just slowed it down some more, to what imo was an already glacially slow jaggy but overall general upward trend going back to pre-colonial times.
I doubt it. America actively pushes queerness alongside explicitly imperialism to pinkwash it and just general identity politics as well while China doesn't promote any social progress (or any sort of ideology) to others
