A while ago I talked about the Dutch socdem coalition Green/Labour and their party programme, which included a two state solution for Palestina, more money to NATO among other things.

Today the far right party FVD made their programme available, and it includes.... peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, deprofitization of healthcare, political asylum to Assange and Snowden (not Manning, though, she's trans after all), removal from EU and NATO.

MFW a far right party has LESS imperialist talking point than the 'hope of the left' lmao. Don't get me wrong, there's still fascist talks of anti-LGBTQ+ stuff and all. But fucking hell Dutch left get your shit together.

I think they mainly took offense to your use of "LGBT Agenda" which is a very common far right and reactionary dogwhistle. I don't know if you meant it in that way but a lot of people on here are queer, and it can be pretty offensive to go slinging that stuff around. Simple clarification on what you meant when you said that was all that was needed, not a shit slinging contest.

I go by she/her. That feeling when you literally put out your pronouns but people still they/them you.

I apologize, I didn't see your name, mainly just read your comment. It's a force of habit for me online to use "they" for anyone online. I don't mean to use "they" as an assumption of one's gender or preferred pronoun, its just force of habit grammatically in my speech where I am from. Although I must admit it's a little sad that when I try and educate someone on their own reactionary terminology I myself end up on the receiving end. Shows everyone's got something to learn.

I’m not the person you’re replying to, and I don’t mean any offense, but isn’t it pretty general form to interchangeably refer to people as they/them in conversations when referring to that person non-directly no matter the pronouns? Unless they directly tell you to not do that and you keep doing it of course.

But something kind of like, “Oh, they left their phone here”, “I should ask them what they think”, “I think they’re opinion is different”.

Again, I apologize and I don’t mean any offense, but I’ve had the question for a while and it would be nice to clear it up to not make a mistake if I’ve been making one.
