I came across a post requesting to remove Nutomic from the Lemmy devs due to a comment he made here. In it, he suggests that the ruling class promotes both LGBTQ+ rights and transphobia as a means to create division among the working class. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this perspective. Do you agree or disagree with his viewpoint? What other topics do you believe are used to divide the working class? Let’s discuss!
Sure, but the fact that some people’s basic rights and freedoms are divisive is not an excuse to abandon them. We can’t create a liberated society by accepting oppression. It needs to be confronted or changed in some way. I’m open to discussing the issue differently, or focusing more speech on other topics when possible but I’m not open to letting people be subject to state violence because their existence is unpopular. So what are we really proposing here?
