The thing is, apathy puts you on one side by default. Ignoring injustice isn't what makes you insufferable (that just makes you a bad person) what makes you insufferable is having the gall to pretending that ignoring injustice makes you enlightened while also complaining about others making too much public noise.

No one buys the psuedo-centrist schtick, they just correctly percieve you as a particularly lazy right-winger.

Sure, I understand, not all christians are homophobic either. But their religion is, so my position is always to push back on narratives that try to frame christianity in that way simply because some individuals are decent. Similarly with communism I just don't see it ending well for lgbt people.

It's a criticism of the ideology, not the people.

@Radical_EgoCom

It's not about communists being homophobic, it's about a system that is designed around rigid social prescription. Communism views humans in these ideal terms, as if once culture and history and everything else is stripped away you're left with standard units.

When humans inevitably do not, by their individual nature, conform easily to the system it's seen as a threat.

It's why the CCP erases every cultural or religious entity and replaces it with a state-friendly simulacra

@Faithslayer202

Communists don't exactly have a great track record of not slaughtering gay people or making their lives horrible.

Yeah, neolibs don't have trans people's backs, but communists don't either. They'll use trans people as a political tool and then when it comes time for "dictatorship of the proletariet" any non-square pegs get purged.
