I might be able to get behind this message but completely unrelated question: whats your opinion on NATO?
Thanks for immediately derailing this post from the subject of trans rights, I guess
If it was ever about that it would not have been derailed, sadly.
It costs nothing to not come in here and do it yourself.
what does that have to do with this post?
Sometimes posters have motives that are different or even opposed to the explicit message of the singular post.
For example, OP thinks western nation's mutual defence pact is opposed to "socialism" which in other words means OP is a proponent of "socialist countries" like hostile dictatorship China and not actually a socialist.
NGL that's kind a creepy bro. Just enjoy the meme.
OP’s reply below gave it away.
but that has nothing to do with trans rights really. Also, can one not be anti-NATO and anti-CCP etc.
It is an extension of American influence and anti-socialist.
Lmao just a fuckin tankie trying to appeal to the "fellow kids"
Here's the op

Being critical of NATO is hardly an extremist position
But keep tilting at those McCarthyesque windmills in your head I guess
To be critical of the worlds largest mutual defence pact is to be pro-war, and very highly correlates with pro-dictatorship-China
being critical of any authority or power structure is essential to the democracy itself, but I guess in ~~neofeudal hellscape~~ liberal democracy you can't do that :v
Pray tell how you would improve the defenct pact?
That is incredibly black and white thinking for an organization with more than it's fair share of skeletons in the closet.
F China! 🤣
