I’ve been having a number of conversations on Hexchan recently trying to make sense of their politics. The most common instance of their hateful hypocrisy I’ve encountered is this constant assurance that they support trans people while immediately attacking and dog piling and trans people who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump.
The hexchanners who aren’t actively Russian trolls seem to be little more than useful idiots for conservatives, minimizing the damage they do to vulnerable populations and engaging in high school level pettiness and hate.
Nearly all “harm reduction” arguments I see are hyperfocusing on reducing harm to Americans specifically and the harm done to foreigners doesn’t even enter into the equation half the time because the presumption is simply that Democrats are always better in every situation including foreign policy and any terrible crime a Democrat has committed in another country would have been an even worse crime if a Republican was in office
most americans don’t see the rest of the world as human
