if you want to support the liberation of the working class you have to come to terms with the fact that a large part of it is right-wing, misogynistic etc. they still shouldn't be exploited by capitalists. no one should. if you want to abolish prisons, you have to come to terms that a lot of ppl in prisons are in fact abusers, swindlers, murderers etc. they still shouldn't be jailed. if you want to support trans rights you support trans rights for every trans person, including the terrible ones. if you want to run a rape shelter you must be prepared to shelter female MAGA voters etc. and if you oppose colonialism, then you oppose colonialism of societies whose ideology you disagree with. because none of it is about "deserving", the logic of "deserving" is a cover. the logic of punitive justice, dividing the world into innocent and unworthy, will always deflect responsibility from the systemic, and therefore serve power. this is after all the original excuse of colonialism: sure, it's bloody work, but that's a burden colonisers must take because Indians are savages, we're ultimately bringing about progress. Islamic ideology is misogynistic, therefore Gaza should be... well, cancelled.
