      Working class men of color are going to continue to shift to the Republicans as their economic precarity attacks their sense of masculinity. But yeah, keep egging them on like you did with white men.

          You can look at reality and react accordingly, or you can cling to culture war whining like a lib.

          These trends are staring you in the fucking face.

              If you don't see the obvious parallel between increasingly precarious working class white men being turned into fascists by "blue hair tumblristas" and increasingly precarious class latino men being turned into fascist by "white libs calling us Latinx" idk what to tell you

                "white people support imperialist fascism because they identify more with the colonizers than the colonized"

                This is a garbage take that ultimately boils down to throwing queer people under the bus to appease cishet men

                We can talk about the predominantly-white liberal paternalism of "latinx" separately (and we have over many struggle sessions) but your point reads as "the existence of queer and nonconforming people are making Working Class Average Josés fascist like it did the Average Joes so we should be more reactionary about queer issues to cater to them instead"

                  You don't have to "abandon" queer issues to cater to working class men. You just said it yourself, a lot of "queer issues" are just loud, unrepresentative, Very Online shit that is an easy scapegoat. Maybe cool it with the white liberal paternalism, as you mentioned, it won't make you into a Nazi overnight.

                    Lmao blaming queer people and asking them to "tone it down" fucking sucks, maybe come up with a better solution than asking queers to assimilate and blaming them for being easy targets for the fash? Don't you think our lived experience has shown us that?

                    To your other point, if we had any control over what liberals did the left wouldn't be as weak as it is in America

            look in a mirror, idealist

            trying to smugly justify your confirmation bias to people who have read actual Marxist science? that's a paddling
