More than a little frustrating

Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
Of course not. A lot of work is done to keep Americans isolated from the effects of American policy so that we don't understand the consequences of our actions. The idea that something like this could have slipped through the cracks and given me a glimpse of how the other half of the world lives is incomprehensible to you.
But the barrier isn't going to last forever, and every day more and more cracks start to show. You can hide away and shut your eyes to the pain and suffering you cause but that doesn't make it go away. The karma's just building up, more and more every day, and god help us all when it finally manifests.
I'm curious why, if I was going to make up a story, why I would include such negative feelings towards my brother. Just to make myself look worse? You're free to believe what you want, I'm just a stranger on the internet, but if I were going to make something up it wouldn't be that.
You're the third or fourth "trans" claiming to be voting against their own interest I've encountered in like 3 weeks. Statistically, it's just very unlikely. So no I don't buy it after you lost the thread and could only make emotional appeals.
Oh, that's the part you doubt?
I shouldn't have to prove this, but I will. Here you go:
[Picture removed for security, but they saw it - bottle of estradiol and pills with my username and the date]
I recognize that, so long as someone's in the crosshairs, it could be me next, and the only viable strategy for survival is solidarity across oppressed groups. What people say about Palestinians today, they will say about trans people tomorrow. We are a very small minority and so we can easily be sacrificed the moment the democrats decide we're too much of a liability unless people are willing to stand with us the same way I stand with Palestinians.
Thank you for questioning my identity though just because I don't approve of your favorite genocidaire. But I don't lie, simple as.
As an admin, I can vouch that this is indeed what @Objection@lemmy.ml did, because I can see uploaded files even after it was edited out of the comment.
I wouldn’t recommend risking doxxing like that, though.
What's even more outrageous to me is the lengths you would go through to prove your identity to a stranger online. Don't worry though, when they play attack ads on transgender people multiple times during every Sunday night football game and the person in them fighting for your existence, paying the political cost, is of no consequence to you.
You: “you’re a degenerate”, “I dont believe you when you say who you are”, “you’re not trans”, “it’s strange you would try so hard to prove who you are to a random stranger online!”
Ladies and gentlemen: liberals!
Who are you going to believe? The assumption that every single trans person is voting for Harris, or your own, lying eyes?
Lol. If I present you with proof, you say it's suspicious. If I didn't present you with proof, you'd say it was suspicious. The fact that you're still trying to invalidate my identity at this point is transphobic. What, do you think I just got a bottle of estradiol proscribed to me by a doctor just so I can pretend to be trans? That's insane.
I will not sacrifice someone else's rights to protect my own. Because I understand that tomorrow the people whose rights are being sacrificed might be my own. Don't pretend for a second that you wouldn't throw us under the bus for the sake of a "lesser evil."
God liberals suck.
What proof have you presented me? Pills. I dont care to know, I've dismissed you and your comical disillusion.
How does it feel that this election season this tranphobe will do more for the trans community then you will?
How many queer people do you reckon will be killed by the bombs Harris will be sending to Israel?
How many people, queer or otherwise, would have to die before you considered alternatives?
How many will trump send?
On net, I'm in the positive.
What good are you? Calling an anon a fascist? Did you just get off? That's about all it will amount to. Please, get well.
You people are beyond parody. Like, "Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos" has become liberals' explicit stance, as long as Kodos would've killed one less person than Kang.
Um, don't want to ruin this big win for you but is it a binary choice between Kang and Kodos?
I'm sure there are more moral implications if we aren't just talking numbers but assuming your making the analogy to a middle eastern country that is hostile against trans people I'd guess you don't want to go there.
Incredible.
And the alternative is?
Edit: Did the Simpsons not teach you that or is board with a nail in it too nuance that no one would understand?
Absolutely incredible. You would actually, explicitly vote for an evil space alien bent on enslaving humanity. Completely beyond saving.
The whole purpose of the example is to show the absurd conclusions that your ideology of lesser-evilism leads to. But you're so deep in the Kool-Aid you can't even recognize it as absurd.
The only reason they're able to come to power in the clip is because of people like you who will accept literally anything as long as you're presented with something marginally worse. If people rejected that mentality and were willing to hold candidates up to literally any standard at all, then neither of them would have ever had a chance.
The alternative is voting for someone who's not an evil space alien.
I'm impressed that your insult is correctly gendered, that must have taken a lot of restraint.
I cannot comment on what that words suppose to be because it would not be civil
Since you're so dumbfounded by the concept of a trans person not being a liberal, a great place to start understanding that would be a mirror.
... I see the mirror, I see someone who's tired. Mostly just that.
Are you just tired? So you gave up on principles, civics, and anything like that?
I gave up on chores so I guess that's analogous.
It's a chore to hold someone to a standard you know they cannot meet. So, I guess that makes sense.
You're right I do understand why a trans person may not be liberal. They are human.
How does this relate to you now?
Are you accusing them of being a bot or suggesting they’re not trans here?
It kinda seems like you’re suggesting that they’re either not human or not trans there at the end.
The only other way I can read it is you calling them liberal as a pejorative (which is a great own to commies by the way) but it’s hard to assume that’s the intent.
Russian "bot". It's ridiculous I'm suppose to assume someone intentionally astroturfing disproves their astroturfing (something that takes an enormous amount of effort) by showing me nondescript pills next to a bottle with a tag that says lady hormones.
Watch the new Netflix movie Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare. I will not be reduced to the likes of kirat because some people get off on harassing others.
I've never seen a clearer example of rejecting all evidence and burying your head in a conspiracy theory in my life.
