    I’m a leftist queer enby who was AMAB and almost fell down the alt-right pipeline and in my ignorance validated the opinions of libertarians. If it wasn’t for positive voices in my life, who knows the demons I would have welcomed in. I see good people around me now echoing, what is blatant to my current perspective, a negative voice.

    I can shame them for not knowing better or I can guide them down the right path. Our environment really can be blinding, my friend. I’m just grateful this man has positive voices from his daughters. Because I was truly stupid and he probably is, and hopefully a was, too.

      there is surprising amount of LGBTQ+ that are in alt-right echo chambers. especially around white supremacy. i remember seeing a video on yt about adult film star, gay. a black one was calling out a white one at the time how he never associates with poc in the industry only whites, and the white guy gave a half ass answer as to why. your a southern white guy with the accent and all, cant get any obvious than the politics you support.
