Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

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 strongly doubt you come from a global South country and even it is... It had nothing to do with any credible left wing movement. Scratch a LBGT critique.. Oh sorry am I suppose to cheer for LGBT banners with long live Azov and all that shit or queer right wingers . It's pretty hilarious I haven't said anything offensive to LGBT people and from a few lines you got the idea that I am a "reactionary". Queer culture in global South is very different from place to place. It's not always rosy and it was not always rosy. Don't just assume you speak for global South or anything close to it. You know nothing, not even a bit of people in global South. You are entitled to your own convincing. It's not that I am eager to convince you of something. But yeah I am also convinced people like you can never ever build a proper movement or a communist party for that matter. Just go on be in your bubble, who cares what you think.

Note : I know some "muslims ".. there it is... I know some muslims then majority muslims in my country will be pro LGBT. Seriously what kind of bubble do you live in? Haha

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.
