As an example: A mutual of mine reposted a tiktok that said, in summary, Immigration laws should be lessened for women and heightened for men, "So women can travel easier and it would reduce crimes".

There are many things to critique about this view, starting obviously with the extremely xenophobic and right wing idea that immigration is causing crime, but moreso my critique lies with wanting to use a white supremacist system to bring down men for the reason that they hate them.

I'm not hear to say whether or not you can hate men as that's another discussion, but it's very obvious this view isn't centered around liberation, or fighting white supremacy, but instead punishing men for existing using the same tools that got us into this mess in the first place. Theyre right that women should be able to travel much easier, and yet instead of focusing on the system that prevents women from traveling, they seek to weaponize it. Does this sound like a revolutionary set of politics? To maintain the carceral ideas of punishment instead of directing your criticisms to the roots?

In the end, it shows a major flaw is that their hatred becomes blinding, and liberation no longer matters, only flipping the pyramid and reversing who gets to dominate. This is why you so often see people who believe this mindset slide into TERFism and eventually back to anti-feminism.

Everyone is mentioning Antifascists and Trans people (understandably) and refusing to say the word Anarchist, just like how they call the Haymarket Martyrs every left term except Anarchist too.

The erasure of Anarchists is not unnoticed, and is despicable to do. The state is saying they want to kill Anarchists, a group of people who advocate anti-authoritarian socialism and are constantly fighting back against the state. We have always been there, from freely feeding people during the Carolina floods to squatting in the Weelaunee forest even under the threat of death when we tried to stop Atlanta's Cop City from being built. Anarchists have shed their own blood on the streets to defend abortion rights, for the 8 hour workday, to degend protesters seeking shelter from violent cops in the 2020 protests.

There has long been the attempted erasure of Anarchists from history, both by the bourgeoisie state and from other leftists who refuse to acknowledge our existence and impact.

Your erasure puts us in danger, especially those of us who are transgender anarchists. When they drag the people who show up in Black Bloc off the streets and into prisons, will there be anyone left to stand up for you when they come for you next?

First of all they've already gotten off the boat multiple times, cruises do that, they stop at ports to let people on the ship explore for a day it's why some cruises require Passports. That's most likely how the virus was contracted in the first place, Patient Zero might have not even been a Cruise passenger.

Cis women are hurt by transmisogynistic legislature, however; we should support trans rights because it's hurting trans women not because cis women get hurt occasionally.

Able bodied people are hurt by ableist legislature, however; we shohld support disabled people because it's hurting them, not because able bodied people might become disabled later.

Men are hurt by the patriarchy, however; we should still dismantle the patriarchy because it hurts women not because it sometimes hurts men.
