    But I don’t want to kill the man

    you are treading on thin ice. this is really close to saying “i think you want to kill the man.” the vibe this gives makes me distrust your perspective. nobody has said anything remotely close to “let’s kill norm finklestein for his transphobia”

    My point is that you seem to have this attitude that anyone that isn’t perfectly progressive on all identifiable issues is equally monstrous

    infamousbit hasn’t said enough words to you for you to get this precise of a read on their ‘attitude’. you’re fabricating a portion of this whether you realize it or not

    and that itself is insane protestant type brainworms

    this is a big reach and does not help your image

    it would be like saying castro should get the wall

    again, you are fabricating a huge portion of this. nobody here is saying anything like this.

      what do you think the poster saying norm gets the wall means? i mean, i’m willing to admit that perhaps i’m too autistic to see it as a bit when I read it, but…? yes? they do seem to think a good revolution would kill the man?

      does not help your image

      i am an anonymous poster online, not a content creator, i genuinely don’t know what kind of image you think i do or don’t have, or do or don’t care about.

      i think infamousbits attitude is generally defeatist and unhelpful and i’m trying to push back against that. i don’t think it’s a reach to say that “Norm Finklestein “gets the wall”” for having a bad take on something he knows nothing about and to most observers simply looked very foolish and uneducated is a regressive take by a person that does not seriously think it is possible to build a social movement for liberation. you can’t just prereject everyone that doesn’t already agree with you as deserving of being shot. I struggle with internal doomerism too, but I’m intellectually aware that you don’t build a movement if you think you fundamentally can’t reach or even engage with people that do not yet have intersectional attitudes.
