    For the life of me, I can’t understand why they care about someone’s sexual orientation or their pronoun.

    I ran the numbers on sex changes and it’s like .001 of the population. It’s a non-issue.

    The real issues are homelessness, inequality, Internet privacy, poisons in our food and workers’ rights…

    Not fucking pronouns.

      They don’t. It’s classic divide and conquer tactics to package up the general population into nice bite-sized chunks that they can destroy individually with minimal resistance from the others. Exact same shit is how the Nazis rose to power.

      They don’t care. The tactic is to have a minority that you can blame for all the bad things.

      100 years ago it was the jews secretly running the world, today it’s the evil trans people and immigrants conspiring to destroy The West™.

      Got to distract from the real issues somehow. Gotta keep that wealth extraction and concentrating system of exploitation alive. Can’t have the slave rising up to overthrow their masters again…

      They need an ‘enemy’ to rally people against and all the usual suspects are no longer politically expedient

      Peter Thiel has many times loudly stated his goal since 9/11: Create scapegoats so the public has somebody to blame for their suffering and his fervent belief this will keep billionaires safe. My guess is most billionaires see it this way.

      if you want to see a way to defeat this idea look up Thiel’s interview with Piers Morgan after Luigi Mangione allegedly killed Brian Thompson

      Well, eggs are back to $1 a dozen and everyone has housing and excellent healtcare coverage, so you can focus on renaming gulfs and prosecuting minorities…
