We are justifiably angry at Republicans like this because they are enthusiastically a part of the boot that we are being crushed beneath. However, there is a distinction between wanting to be free of the boot, and wanting to be the boot.
It feels cathartic to be mean to people like this, and let’s be real, this level of unkindness is but a fraction of the cruelty they inflict upon us. However, this path does not lead to justice. I don’t want to be like them — not even a little bit.
Being opposed to misogyny (even when it’s directed at awful people) does not make me a compatriot of theirs. The problem with the system is the oppression, not that the wrong people are being oppressed.
I don’t know what justice would be appropriate for all the harm these women have done, but I know that bigotry such as gendered oppression is antithetical to justice (even when it’s directed at people who have used their privilege on other axes to oppress others).
What an absurd statement. In no world am I standing by Trump. I’m a queer cripple who literally only has a place to live right now due to the solidarity and support of other oppressed people.
I don’t want to be the boot because the people I love and I have already been bled so much by the ruling class and no amount of revenge will be able to give me the life I could’ve led if not for the oppression I have faced.
The problem with the system is the systematic oppression, not that the wrong people are being oppressed.

sounds like mitläufer to me.
you are who you associate yourself with. if you associate with pedophiles and rapists, you will be mistaken to be a pedophile and rapist.

Yet you stand by trump like in the photo licking your lips drinking the blood of the oppressed.
