All the "Woke", "Social Justice" and "Cancel culture" complaints are Nazi Sh*t [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-03-13 Shives goes on to point out that Dailywire host MIchael Knowles who at CPAC recently called for “Transgenderism to be eliminated.” The right’s war on queer and trans people took center stage at the Conservative Political Action Conference as Daily Wire host Michael Knowles on Saturday called for the eradication of “transgenderism.” During his speech on Saturday, Knowles told the crowd, “For the good of society … transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely — the whole preposterous ideology, at every level.” Knowles subsequently claimed that “eradicating” “transgenderism” is not a call for eradicating transgender people and demanded retractions from numerous publications, including Rolling Stone. Erin Reed, a transgender rights activist and writer, tells Rolling Stone that it’s an absurd distinction. There is no difference between a ban on “transgenderism” and an attack on transgender people, she says: “They are one and the same, and there’s no separation between them.” Reed says that Knowles and others at the Daily Wire, including anti-trans activist Matt Walsh, are not just talking about keeping transgender people out of public life, they’re actively working to make it happen. She noted their support for bills to deprive transgender people of gender-affirming medical care, bans on using public bathrooms, and targeting of live performances by trans individuals. “If you try to separate us from all the things that allow people to experience the world … that does amount to banning transgender people’s existence,” says Reed, a transgender woman, “You can’t go your whole life without using the bathroom, without telling a joke on stage in front of friends, without your medicine. All of that amounts to a ban on transgender people.” Knowles of course has now whined and complained that he really didn’t mean to ban “People” but only to ban the “ideology” of transgenderism. But that’s bullshit. As Shives points out, being cisgender is not an “ideology.” It’s a reality. Your gender happens to match your physical biology. With trans persons, there is a mismatch — their gender does not match their biology, hence they see gender-affirming care to correct this imbalance. x At least drag queens aren’t afraid to show their faces while wearing a dress. The only reason someone hides their face to stand up for what they believe is because they know that what they believe is wrong pic.twitter.com/W0n2UrPlMB — Optimistic Lizard 🌊proud to be a LIBERAL (@rex197878) March 13, 2023 These people who are not doctors, and not psychologists are trying to tell actually physicians and scientists that this phenomenon which they claim is real — is not real. That’s incredibly arrogant. And again, in bathrooms, in school sports, in books and in media, they seek to eliminate what they find is damaged, defective, worthless and weak. Nazi shit. x Ron Desantis is truly one sick bastard. He blames the SVB collapse on “woke economics” and diversity culture. Fuck him.https://t.co/xLYzND1O5C — Jamie Schler (@lifesafeast) March 13, 2023 Gay men with Pink Triangles are marched into Nazi Camps As Shives again points out, destroying the work of physicians and scientists who spent decades on LGBT and gender studies is exactly what the Nazis did. As soon as they took power in Germany they dragged dozens of books and scholarly works on gender studies — dragged them out into the street and burned them. Because that’s the shit Nazi’s do. They destroy knowledge. They destroy truth. That’s what Ron Desantis is doing. Implementing a regime of elimination. Blocking and banning of anything from being taught that reflects the perspect of the Others. x Woke is a shorter word for universally enlightened, educated, open minded and compassionate. I know that's hard for you to wrap your tiny mind around being you use words like "libtard" which sounds like something a 5th grade bully would say, or trump. Same difference — Optimistic Lizard 🌊proud to be a LIBERAL (@rex197878) March 12, 2023 These people complain and argue against “Social Justice.” So does that mean that support Social Injustice? They complain and argue against “Virtue Signaling.” So that means you don’t like Virtue? You would prefer to Vice Signal? Be it CRT, or Anti-racism or simply accurate American History — they don’t want to hear about it. They don’t to be reminded of the years when America *inspired* Nazi Shit with their implementations of racial terrorism for profit. Slavery, Jim Crow, Segregation. Separate but Equal. Red-Lining. Systematic Bias and Discrimination. Police Bias and violence. They don't want this discussed, they don’t want it taught because it just might make some White Straight Abelist Christian kid doubt their inherent awesomeness. If they truly knew how badly and systematically non-whites, gays, trans, Jews and feminists have been repeatedly and viciously abused they just might not want to perpetuate that system. We can’t have that now, can we? x AOC Destroys Republican Hearing on "Woke" Government https://t.co/a8Kjc4kK6K via @YouTube — F. Vyan Walton (@Vyan1) March 12, 2023 “Cancel Culture” is people saying “No, we will not endorse this Nazi Shit.” We will not buy products that are sold by eliminationist salesmen. We will not watch movies, plays or read books by eliminationists. We will not endorse this rhetoric. When you hear someone complaining that something is “Woke” — what you're really hearing is Nazi Shit. They call anything that extends beyond their preferred view of the White Male-Dominated Cisgender Christian-normative world as Other. Anything outside that is “Not Normal.” And it needs to be eliminated. That’s Nazi Shit.
