When I was much younger than today, some anarchist somewhere expressed concern that maybe capitalism would co-opt things such as gay rights, anti-racism or feminism. Few people believed him. I mean, capitalism is homophobic, racist, sexist and deeply oppressive, right? Surely movements fighting these things are inherently revolutionary!
Flash forward about 40 years...
A mafioso-looking billionaire governor of Illinois, part of the imperialist United States, promises to double down on "sex changes" during Transgender Awareness Week.
Revolution´s tired.
Ha haa! Breitbart reacts yet again to a non issue. Dear Sir, Pritzker can't help it if he looks like a Hollywood mafioso! Sure he's a little tubby but hey, he did a great job of securing the State of Illinois during the covid years. I'm not into becoming trans-gender, I assume neither are you. Why that happens IDK. Either it's the cultural *thing to do* with that generation, or they're genuinely of one gender mind inserted into the opposite body type. My partner's goddaughter changed from a sweet 13 yr old girl to a guy named "Adam". Took up league boxing too. Taking hormones and probably had whatever reduction surgery is applicable. I do not support transgender men in women's sports either. I doubt she will compete as a girl-man in a men's boxing match. So in summary, if those humans want to change gender, then go on and have at it. Doesn't do me any harm. All Pritzker is saying is those who feel like they're in the wrong place in the wrong time is "don't worry, you won't suffer abuse under my administration." Personally I don't see that many persons rushing off to get "trans-gendered" in the first place. Breitbart and the right wingers need to keep punching down, sideways or whatever, in order to keep the tension level high and distract from nefarious plans the Orange Madman has in store for the World.
ReplyDeleteChomsky said something related about capitalism in the long run. Its only loyal to what increase profits and will abandon whatever social views as soon as its profitable.
ReplyDeleteGay men is one hell of a customer group. No kids, double income and obsessed with unnessecary expensive stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think Milton Friedman said something similar, too. "In the future, everyone will have a temporary job, and the culture will be left-liberal". Something like that. Fact check: mostly true!
