Don’t make me laugh. My brother is dumbass fascist who watches shit like OAN. “Another opportunity to fight for my brother,” fuck my brother. The only reason anybody should give a shit about him is preventing him from being a danger to others. How about let’s fight for the people he killed, injured, and threatened? How about we start by throwing every politician responsible for those pointless, unjustified wars of aggression behind bars, if not worse?
It was under Obama that my brother “served” (if you can call it that). He could’ve ended it right then and there and saved countless lives, but he didn’t, and instead doubled-down. Biden was VP during those 8 years and fully agreed with that policy. Then he became president and has us involved in a proxy war through Israel where people are getting slaughtered at an even faster rate than before. Now, we have Harris, his VP, who’s fully on board with his policies.
I have nothing but hatred for all of these people. And that includes Trump, because Trump is a hawk, but let’s not pretend that he’s somehow uniquely hawkish or uniquely horrible. You say “There is only more of that if Trump wins.” That’s true, but there is only more of that if Harris wins too.
You want my vote, run a dove. When was the last time they offered us a chance to vote for peace? It’s never going to happen until enough people stand up to them and demand it.
“If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, there’s no progress. If you pull it out all the way that’s not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. And they haven’t even pulled the knife out, much less healed the wound. They won’t even admit that the knife is there.”
I care about people taken advantage by a broken system, which is why I talk about the issues that have actually affected people.
How dare you lecture me about being “dispassionate” about my brother’s suffering, about being a “psychopath” for not caring about him. You have no idea - not even the smallest iota of comprehension - of what I went through to bring me to that point with him. Imagine being a 9-1-1 operator on call 24/7 for a year. Imagine that every time you logged on to social media like Facebook, you had to worry that he might see you were on and start dumping all sorts of accusations and conspiracy theories and trauma and if you didn’t get involved he’d make a big deal out of that too. Imagine trying to do all that while working 60 hour weeks back-to-back at Amazon.
And just for the record, I stayed in contact with him longer than my sister did, and she’s one of you.
How smug and condescending can you possibly get? To call me a “psychopath” because I wrote him off as dead to me after he turned my life into a constant living hell, after he threatened innocent people. On top of that, I’m trans and a big part of why I’m still in the closet with my family is because of him.
You liberals get to sit around, safely separated from all the pain and suffering you cause, and then you have the audacity to judge the people who have to pick up the pieces of your shit that your people caused. You don’t like who I am, well tough shit, because the people and policies you support are what turned him into what he became and what turned me into who I am.
I hope someday you get to experience blowback too. I wonder how long you could bear it before you became “a psychopath.”
Of course not. A lot of work is done to keep Americans isolated from the effects of American policy so that we don’t understand the consequences of our actions. The idea that something like this could have slipped through the cracks and given me a glimpse of how the other half of the world lives is incomprehensible to you.
But the barrier isn’t going to last forever, and every day more and more cracks start to show. You can hide away and shut your eyes to the pain and suffering you cause but that doesn’t make it go away. The karma’s just building up, more and more every day, and god help us all when it finally manifests.
I’m curious why, if I was going to make up a story, why I would include such negative feelings towards my brother. Just to make myself look worse? You’re free to believe what you want, I’m just a stranger on the internet, but if I were going to make something up it wouldn’t be that.
You’re the third or fourth “trans” claiming to be voting against their own interest I’ve encountered in like 3 weeks. Statistically, it’s just very unlikely. So no I don’t buy it after you lost the thread and could only make emotional appeals.
I shouldn’t have to prove this, but I will. Here you go:

I recognize that, so long as someone’s in the crosshairs, it could be me next, and the only viable strategy for survival is solidarity across oppressed groups. What people say about Palestinians today, they will say about trans people tomorrow. We are a very small minority and so we can easily be sacrificed the moment the democrats decide we’re too much of a liability unless people are willing to stand with us the same way I stand with Palestinians.
Thank you for questioning my identity though just because I don’t approve of your favorite genocidaire. But I don’t lie, simple as.

As an admin, I can vouch that this is indeed what @Objection@lemmy.ml did, because I can see uploaded files even after it was edited out of the comment.
I wouldn’t recommend risking doxxing like that, though.
What’s even more outrageous to me is the lengths you would go through to prove your identity to a stranger online. Don’t worry though, when they play attack ads on transgender people multiple times during every Sunday night football game and the person in them fighting for your existence, paying the political cost, is of no consequence to you.
You: “you’re a degenerate”, “I dont believe you when you say who you are”, “you’re not trans”, “it’s strange you would try so hard to prove who you are to a random stranger online!”
Lol. If I present you with proof, you say it’s suspicious. If I didn’t present you with proof, you’d say it was suspicious. The fact that you’re still trying to invalidate my identity at this point is transphobic. What, do you think I just got a bottle of estradiol proscribed to me by a doctor just so I can pretend to be trans? That’s insane.
I will not sacrifice someone else’s rights to protect my own. Because I understand that tomorrow the people whose rights are being sacrificed might be my own. Don’t pretend for a second that you wouldn’t throw us under the bus for the sake of a “lesser evil.”
