some of you "leftists" will see a dude suffering mentally and physically under capitalism and be like "mmm should've introspected harder or maybe tried not being born bad and irredeemable" and call that praxis

#a lot of self described leftists have their principles fly directly out the window when they have to apply them to a dude that isn't #a special little uwu bean #rly frustrating to read some posts that come up on my For You page #monolithic thinking is so poisonous to the mind #how can we expect men to be better if we can't make space in our hearts FOR them to be better #this is why everyone hates us #we offer them no solutions only condemnation and ire #and no this is not apologia for genuinely awful men #like my father and grandfather abused me emotionally and physically my entire childhood and my entire life is fucked as a result #I have been targeted and assaulted by men for being openly and obviously queer and unapologetic about it #but I cannot hold those experiences as being indicative of a whole group #it goes against every principle I hold as a leftist and I'm so sick of the cognitive dissonance that exists in leftists spaces #when we discuss this topic
