Geometric Denazification

I see a lot of people discussing ISFF and company's recent posts regarding the defense of sexual predators within the queer community at the cost of victim safety. and people ask,"why? what do these women gain by constantly going to bat for people exposed as abusers, predators, pedophiles, and rapists? how do they keep defending the indefensible?"

because this is why. they want to protect their own right to behave as they wish, to do whatever they like without consequence. if they muddy the waters enough, blur the lines enough, fearmonger enough, build the narratives up high enough, then nothing is there to tangibly stop them from doing horrible things.

they do not actually care about their fellow trans women, we have seen this time and time again - they talk at length about "callout culture" and "social murder", but find no issue in mobbing trans women that disagree with them and branding them as self-hating transmisogynists, they insist upon victim silence, they silence, scold, mock, fetishize, demean, and bully transfem victims of sexual violence. they ignore or participate in the abuse of the trans women around them.

they dont care about transfem victims of incest or pedophilia. they dont care about trans women suffering from debilitating intrusive thoughts or morality OCD. they dont care about trans women that have been forced into toxic dynamics or roles with their transfem partner(s). they don't care about transfems in the closet or transfems forced to boymode. they dont care about butch or masc transfems. they dont care about bi or straight transfems, or T4C transfems. they dont care about non-white transfems.

Yes I did!

Here is the updated list for anyone who wants to stay in the loop

Specifically I am thinking about how this can be exended to understand phenomena like July 4th. Many have already called attention to the horribly misguided way in which "progressives" will adopt a patriotic posture to claim "this isn't what America [sic] is really about", but there's another type of patriotism I see from people who otherwise don't care about American Values™--who may even believe that they hate the US--but who will engage with the holiday as a sort of kitsch. In Tumblr terms, we could call this the let people enjoy things type of imperial chauvanism, as they tend to respond to criticisms of what the day is celebrating with statements like "I'm just here for the burgers and fireworks." For many people in the US, July 4th is the day where USAmerican flags lose their conservative, white trash signification and become a national costume--in a bizarre way, they appear depoliticized!* July 4th gives such people the license to be patriotic without having to be patriots. I think that many are being honest when they say that they only came for the fireworks; what they miss is that they are only able to enjoy the fireworks because they materially benefit from US imperialism.
