Ignoring that this is most likely bait, this trick of saying “all the (global south racial other) HATE f@gs so if you don’t hate f@gs you should hate (global south racial other) or you also hate f@gs just like those (slurs)” is absolutely everywhere nowadays. Israelis especially love using it. Somehow, I am not even remotely comforted by my identity being hijacked in this way to justify oppression, bigotry, and the wholesale slaughter of people who have never wronged me. It also makes me wonder… once they’ve purchased sufficient license to murder by posturing as allies, will they remember that they don’t much like me and mine after all?
The answer is yes, of course. First they came for x, and I didn’t say anything because I heard they were transphobic. Then they came for y, and I didn’t do anything because I heard somewhere they were a little bit problematic. And so on…
