  • Oh dear, I saw that.

    And immediately looked away.

    they are told all the time that "cis-phobia" is just as big of a deal or a bigger deal than transphobia

    This is mind-blowingly stupid. These people did not know the term cis three years ago, not even in the context of organic chemistry, and now it's a bigger problem that transphobia.

  • As the rest of the Internet, I applaud Afroman for sticking it to unaccountable racist cops. I am just a bit sore that trans people were made, once again, the butt of the joke in the process.

  • even widespread abuse that can influence thousands, is nothing compared to the physical attack and complete disregard of how terrifying it is for your home to be invaded by an aggressive group of self-righteous strangers

    These two things are on the same side of the scale really (systemic oppression).

    Dude's black and living in the USA, so the chance he gets murdered in his own home despite being innocent is also incredibly high.

    The same is true for trans women. Very high chance of getting murdered especially when black.

    a far worse crime than continuing to promote a harmful rhetoric about women who look more masc than the socially defined

    We talk about very well defined anti-trans genocidal tropes here, WTF are you babbling about, watering it down like this?

  • Well known trope. All over 1990s comedy and what have you.

    So this argument boils down to what? Was she really trans she would deserve to be mocked? Are we censoring ourselves with real trans people out of superficial courtesy but bash cisgender women for "looking" or "sounding" trans. Nothing problematic with that! /s

    Considering the homo/trans phobia in a lot of rap at that time, I'd basically consider that pro-trans.

    Questionable take. So would racist jokes, being "relatively better" than lynchings, be "pro-black for the time"? I don't think so.

  • I consider this an anti-intellectualist take. I don't agree this is the root cause.

    There is professionalization of the sciences in the context of capitalism, and other forces driving academic endeavours. Including military funding for example. But being educated means also understand the principles of constitutional democracy. This is the main reason anti-intellectualism is the breeding ground for authoritarianism, the very reason this thread exists.

  • the traditional working class is gone in developed countries

    I understand that, but there is a kind of modern-day proletariat. Super market cashiers are working class in that sense.

    At the same time a lot of the left is made up of the massively grown academic middle class.

    I was about to reach to that. The contradiction now might be more about being "educated professional class" versus "non-educated workforce, specialized laborers etc" (let alone gender). And not other distinctions that might have been meaningful in the past, since you mentioned already that people don't work in factories as much as they did before.

    These are more meaningful for explaining politics, but the truth is the vast majority of people wants living wages, social welfare and public healthcare. Americans are heavily brainwashed against these ideas, and perhaps some neoliberal Europeans as well.

  • The working class is always a low-hanging fruit for the far-right rhetoric. That is why you need an "aggressive" democracy to keep the fash in their place. If you don't, the rate of expansion for fascist ideas is faster than for socialist ideas, because the first is regressive and the latter progressive. Any democracy that is not actively fighting fascism is doomed to destroy itself. This is how we got here. AGAIN.
