The fact that you can live in the USA and think the anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment is anything but homegrown (you know, like the racism) is the definition of “living under a rock”. Either that or just good ol’ American exceptionalism - “we are so amazingly progressive that it must be someone else’s fault there are bigots here.”

If anything, Republicans are the ones inspiring bigots around the world (at least in terms of tactics). There’s a reason why right-wing groups in like a dozen other countries are also talking about “wokism” and “cancel culture” now.
OP in that thread is the epitome of “i’m as left as they come buuuuuuuuuuuuuut” worthlessness

If anybody ever says this to me, I start asking them about Bordiga and Organic Centralism. See if they are really as “left as it gets”
the theoryposters hit 'em high and the shitposters hit 'em low
Could you do a Bordiga effort post on a mega at some point in the future? I know nothing about Bordiga’s writing.
That sounds like work
Nothing you have to do of course. Just felt like you were knowledgeable. Do you have a good start for his writings instead?
