      :speechtop:
      how an electoralist mind works.

      Have you considered removing demagogues from power?

        actually, let’s take a step back. what would you want, what are you doing to move towards that goal, and what do you expect us to do?

          Horizontalidad, and total empowerment of the people. Trans folks should have every right to care, play in whatever sports, use restrooms, without being hated on. These 4 statists showed they are willing to deny healthcare to folks, deny sports, and inspect genitals just to be able to control others.

          As a black anarchist, I train everyone self-defense, arm them, feed them, shelter, etc… Something South Carolinians, Washingtonians, Arizonan, & Coloradans aren’t willing to support.

          If you’re in any of these transphobic states, you need to hold transphobes accountable for hate. You need make sports guilds that support trans folk, you need to make restrooms inclusive, and above all, provide full health coverage to trans people, no matter their conditions. This is what it means to take accountability. Can you show up and support trans people in these states?

        I’m unfamiliar with the term ‘demagogue’, but it looks like the internet states it as “a leader who obtains power by means of impassioned appeals to the emotions and prejudices of the populace”, which sounds like a disagreeable sort.

        That makes sense, I have an issue with a style of debate that relies too heavily on emotionally charged language. And ad-hominem attacks.

          The term is older than that, as seppos are purposely not taught politics, or the sciences of politics. When you elect someone to have power over you, you are asking someone to govern and rule over you. You would have no say if they change their minds after elections, esp. if they flip on issues you voted them in power for.
          Seppos have never experienced democracies, as the have had a plutocracy for centuries now. They aren’t politically aware ballots are exploitation consent contracts, not opinion positions.

          When I use “demagoguery” here, I mean electing your exploiters into power, not actually directing your political will. If we both want transpeople not being hated, we should be empowered to do so. We shouldn’t be forced and criminalized for helping trans people. Demagogues do want to control us, dominate us, and ridicule us. Excusing state hate is no policy I want to be part of.
