not to like, be dramatic or overescalate meaningless internet discourse but the white gay joke of saying “i don’t like sports cuz i’m gay, i don’t like cars cuz i’m gay, i’m awkward bc i’m gay!” etc. is just an extension of bourgeois distaste for physical activity, complex machinery, and social interaction imo
the proletariat thinks cars are cool, the proletariat enjoys sports, the proletariat enjoys socializing and talking – the bourgeoisie, exemplified by white college kids thinks all of these things are beneath them, and they constantly parrot jokes disparaging people who enjoy these most basic fundamentals of proletarian life, the integration of this type of thinking in to usamerican gay culture is ugly and boring.
gay culture is like this bc gay culture is bourgeois inherently
this is the dumbest post considering gay ppl are more likely to be homeless and in poverty.
literally same argument trannies have lmao just bc you’re personally poor doesn’t mean the culture you express isn’t bourgeois
western gay culture is absolutely based on excesses and on decadence. it’s an ideology of hedonism and nihilistic actions like it’s completely rotten and useless to society at best, actively harmful at worst.
Gay men are all pleasure-obsessed death-seekers. What a groundbreaking sentiment. Homophobia dressed up in anti-imperialist language is still homophobia.
the truth remains the truth whether or not you throw tantrums
Imagine getting mad when someone tells you that a culture that ignores
or promotes terminal illnesses and societal decay is actively harmful
and should be opposed.
president reagan is that you?
That’s pretty insulting considering I don’t want people dying from entirely avoidable diseases, but when those same people refuse to police their own circles and even go as far as to uphold such suffering as a part of the identity then really not much can be done about it.
LGBT culture is inherently harmful to those in it and wider society, and creates a very toxic image of all non-hets even if a large portion of them are absolutely opposed to all the ridiculous things going on in it. I’m not a hardliner by any means but if these people refuse to act reasonably then they do not get to be treated reasonably. You reap what you sow.
holy shit reagan i really thought you were dead
“LGBT culture is inherently harmful to those in it and wider society”
The irony of a fucking weeb with an anime girl avatar complaining about degeneracy! But this is exactly what I’m talking about when it comes to the term “Red-Brown Alliance”. And this is exactly how it manifests on Tumblr: a bunch of Stalinist fascists bitching about liberal bourgeois degeneracy while furiously jerking off into each others’ sperm-soaked anime body pillows. These people really are something.
I have to reblog this purely for the educational opportunity here. This is a strain of fascism that I’ve not previously encountered myself.
My personal favorite thing about this argument is the idea that lgbtqia+ people are definitely bourgeois, but sports, the literally useless games we spent a truly ridiculous amount of time and money in, are not.
Like i am a sports fan but i’m also gay and please for the love of god look up how much money pro sports makes, how public schools put more money into sports than they do necessary items for teaching or paying their teachers, how sports can ruin a person’s body physically and mentally.
We spend tax dollars on this shit. People die for this shit.
On an unrelated note, @korrasera, iirc this strain of facism is based a lot on stalinist ideology. It’s been a while but i think while the US was doing the whole red scare/lavender scare thing and accusing gay ppl of being secret comminists, the USSR had criminalized homosexuality and was accusing gay people of being secret westerner fascists. It’s interesting how that works.
Ah yes, the gay affluence myth, plus victorian eugenics. Can we stop recycling classic homophobia now?
… this is literally some 40-year-old cishet propaganda dressed up with pseudo-leftist bullshit. “They deserve it because of their lifestyle” is literally what we were told in the 80s and 90s, over and over, starting with when they blamed THE GAYS for their own infections and then they started blaming THOSE DAMN BISEXUAL MEN for “causing the infection to jump to heterosexuals.” (Yes, that happened, fucking Time Magazine ran an article like that.) Just because you put the words ‘proletariat’ and ‘bourgeois’ in your homophobic bullshit doesn’t mean that it isn’t just homophobic bullshit wearing a hammer and sickle pin on its lapel.
I mean, it could be that HIV infection rates have something to do with the way that the medical industry operates in the US, with the inaccessibility of PrEP if you don’t have insurance ($1300 a month is in the same range as what we pay for our mortgage in suburban Philadelphia), with how stigmatized it still is to get tested… I mean, it could be that a combination of medical homophobia and transphobia, institutionalized serophobia, and capitalist bullshit are the actual causes of continuing HIV infections in extremely-marginalized populations among the LGBTQIPA community, but I guess it’s easier just to say “them gays is the problem, and I’m actually acceptable in saying this because I’ve dressed it up in leftist language.”
