I came across a post requesting to remove Nutomic from the Lemmy devs due to a comment he made here. In it, he suggests that the ruling class promotes both LGBTQ+ rights and transphobia as a means to create division among the working class. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this perspective. Do you agree or disagree with his viewpoint? What other topics do you believe are used to divide the working class? Let’s discuss!
LGBTQ rights are workers rights. We’re all in this together. The ones arguing against those rights, are the ones being divisive. Support for equal rights, should never be a question.
I do also understand where Nutomic is coming from, though. Using these issues to create that division is cynical politics, and that is a problem. But that should never be used as an excuse to drop the fight for equality.
Lol. Very “no you” energy
Which you’ve deftly countered with ‘nuh uh’! Don’t have an actual argument against the actual ‘the people peddling divisive rhetoric are the actual problem’ argument?
I’d really love to hear how the people saying that all workers rights matter are the ones really being divisive here, rather than the people who are trying to keep workers out of the movement.
One side is literally advocating for inclusivity, while the other is arguing against it, my man.
