Autonomy and liberation without concession.
Transphobia is patriarchy, Marxism-Leninism is spicy liberalism, analysis is not advocacy, I have no patience for boneheaded contrarianism.
WARNING: I am extremely sparing with the Content Warning feature. I use it pretty much exclusively for the most graphic things and as required by moderators. I have firsthand experience that CWs lead to people who would like to read things not seeing them and have found the overall effect to be mostly negative. I discuss politics, bodily autonomy issues, queer issues, and all sorts of difficult, messy, sometimes depressing but important topics. I do not believe that these topics should be censored. There are no hard feelings whatsoever if you would prefer to mute or block me to not see my content. I will always give consideration to requests to CW something but in the majority of cases will not do so.

Activists spend their whole lives in dangerous toil to make Nazis afraid to march openly. It's not the police or state intelligence or whatever else: it's antifascists. Antifascists infiltrate then, research them, identify them, counteract them, etc. Please for the love of everything good recognize that real people are fighting this fight and have been for decades.
@bruce @PhoenixSerenity @deirdresm US Nazis don't wear masks because they're ashamed: they wear masks because they rightfully fear antifascist response.
Don't believe for a moment that the thing that holds these people in check is their own conscience.
US Nazis wear masks because they are afraid of antifascist activists. It's not because they secretly believe that what they're doing is shameful or whatever else, it's because of the constant and vigilant work of antifascists. If at some point they believe they have nothing to fear from antifascists then they will march without masks.
