That's really weird. The trans community on Lemmy doesn't think neopronouns are trolling. You can see so at that link. It's only you and other cis people who think so. How come you think you know better than trans people about trans issues. Isn't that arrogant?

Drag would like to make one distinction relevant to your comment. Marxist-Leninists aren't Marxists. They have many points of disagreement. Most notably, Marxists believe in a worldwide revolution, while MLs believe in communism in one country. Drag has no problem with Marxists. Only with MLs.
Marxism-Leninism was created by Stalin. Drag thinks he did a bad job interpreting Marx's ideas. Drag only has a problem with Stalinists. Drag is a communist. Drag gets along with syndicalists, mutualists, demsocs, soulists, even georgists. Drag can name many variants of communism drag has no problem with. Drag has a problem with Stalinists.
and possibly even cause some trauma down the line.
Oh, it's not down the line. Right now you can go read drag having a mental breakdown - https://lemmy.world/post/24516643
It’s not reasonable to expect communist countries to get social issues right on the first try and attach their failure to do so to their economic organization.
Drag doesn't attach it to their economics. Drag attaches it to their beaurocracy. The USSR put too much power in the hands of the government. Anarchists wouldn't have made being gay illegal. Drag's complaint with tankies isn't about economics, it's about big vs small government.
It also seems to drag that even neoliberals have managed a tiny amount of personal growth over the last hundred years. Nutomic hasn't. He's a dinosaur. Drag sees a trend that marxist-leninists haven't changed much in the last 50 years. The way they defend modern Russia, sometimes it feels like they haven't noticed the Berlin Wall fell. We need a communist theory for the 21st century, not the 19th.
Ada is a lemmy.blahaj.zone user, and therefore can't see comments left by people who are banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone. Drag's friend made sure everyone knows.
This is the second in command of lemmy.ml:
The Soviet Union made being gay illegal. Marxism-Leninism has a very long history of calling queerness "bourgeois decadence". Some tankies choose to follow in the footsteps of that history. Others just ignore it and pretend it was excusable. Tankies aren't allies.
Also, for what it's worth, I have seen enough people with non-normative gender identities to trust that OP is not, in fact, a drag alt.
This is fake news. Nonbinary people don't exist, which means everyone who claims to be nonbinary must be the same troll. Plus, Newbuild says bot's drag's friend, and that's obviously a lie, because everyone knows queer people have no friends!
Biiiiiiig /s
Linux is great
Lion is king because he's social. You can't be a king without subjects. Tigers are the ronin of the jungle. Lions are the king of the savanna.

I started with mint more than 10 years ago because a friend of mine told me it was one, if not the best, distro for newbies (that was a fucking lie). Idk how mint is doing today but back then was kind of a mess and dealing with it wasnt easy, so i dont really know how or why i switched to debian for a while. With debian i had a lot of problems with some software, mostly proprietary drivers for esotic hardware i was running back then due to me buying the cheapest laptops available, so i started distro hopping for a while. Every distro but fedora was debian based so it felt a lot like a more of the same experience and I felt stuck in a loop where i was eventually gonna reinstall my whole system after breaking something i didnt even know existed.
Then one day i found arch. Installing it wasnt as easy as clicking install on the live system’s guy, but just by following the wiki general instructions i didnt have any issues the first time. It felt good. Building the system block by block helped me understand how things work, the package manager was the best i had seen and the newbie corner basically had the solutions for all my screw-ups, even more than ask-ubuntu did. Everybody in the community was super helpful (even some of the devs). Then there was the AUR, with almost every piece of esotic or proprietary software i needed, much easier than adding some random guy’s repositories to apt or enabling backports on debian. Also i found out that i prefer having a rolling release. With arch i learned how to use and maintain my system, and i just stuck with it.
That said, just how some use linux just to brag about it with their normie friends, many many people use arch to brag about it with other linux users (like my friend did), mostly beacause arch has the infamous reputation that it is hard to install, hard to maintain, easy to break. Which is actually not that bad considering that all these people are gonna end up posting in the newbie corner lol.
Truth is that arch is not harder than any other distro. It only comes down to your will to learn and RTFM What i think worked for me was the transparency. Nobody said it was as easy to use as windows, but nobody in the wiki said “dont do this unless you are an experienced user”. Arch is not another fork of ubuntu pretending to be “even more user friendly”, it’s just arch.
I think the problem is about distros like antergos (rip), manjaro, garuda, endevour trying to oversimplify something that only needs you to RTFM only ending up breaking something they tried to automate and hide behind a curtain that wasnt meant to be automated and was meant to be learned to manage, by hand
Drag doesn't have an opinion one way or the other about this, as drag hasn't used Arch. But drag liked reading this comment and would enjoy reading a discussion about it.
Antacids are the oldest effective medications for heartburn. Chalk (calcium carbonate) has been chewed for centuries to provide some relief and is still popular.

Just found out soap is alkaline. If you run out of antacids and your acid reflux is really bad, can you eat soap to settle your tummy? This post inspired by eating chalk for acid reflux.

None of that is true
70% of the arguments drag has are people choosing to get mad about pronouns. 25% are rehashing previous drama. 5% are actual genuine conflicts. So drag assumed you were 70% transphobic and 5% genuine, just like the drama you point to.
