The problem with Lemmy isn't that there are too many leftists around, it's that most of them are of the annoying kind.

Most users here are either college students or antiwork-style semi-employed NEET-adjacent individuals whose entire worldview is based on Tumblr and TikTok memes. They really think that some online pundit/influencer with the "correct beliefs" on the "current thing" is closer to them and more of their ally than actual working-class proletarians who may for various reasons, have problematic attitudes and beliefs.

That's of course, without getting into what the latest crop of online leftists even considers problematic. For whatever reason, while the planet is dying, while people are still hungry, while homelessness is rising in the West, they've decided that the right of fat gay men who like to wear make up and dresses and straight women who are not satisfied to be low on the oppression totem-pole to call themselves a gender category beyond any human comprehension (non-binary) is the single most important issue affecting global society.

If one should disagree with gender ideology, they need to be killed because they're a fucking Nazi and definitely not a good fucking human being.

You're one of those fucking chud-adjacent losers who think that "working class" means white 40something factory worker with a beard, a wife and 2.5 kids, and a litany of bigoted views huh?

Fact is the vast majority of queer people are working class. You can keep picking on Sam Harris to try to write off nonbinary people as being like a rich people Hollywood thing, but the reality doesn't fit with that. You point out homelessness as one of those things we should "really care about"... meanwhile homeless queer youth are a huge problem you're just conveniently ignoring. and if you think those kids dont have nonbinary people among them you're out of touch. Being nonbinary isnt just something for people living comfortably.
