Shit like this is why I'm getting less and less interested in politics. Words and phrases just become posterboards for whatever context people want to slap on it, or you get instances like this where stuff is just made up out of thin air and given sacred cow status based on some ephemeral idea of what it should mean, but can't really be entirely explained. It just turns into a game of attaching all sorts of meanings to shit that didn't have it before and doing the motte and bailey dance when there's disagreement on what something actually is.

@mrsaturday I've been saying this for a while, queer means nothing whatsoever, anyone can appropriate it for no reasons and doesn't have to stick to anything and you aren't allowed to call it out
I've seen some video or tweet of someone going mask off about it recently, it really is nothing but political subversion
-
@mrsaturday political identity is a massive cancer all in all
-
@Moon @mrsaturday like a lot of terms, it might have meant something more concrete once upon a time, but not anymore
It's now political IDPol hipsterism, in which ironically most of the "rebels" have been astroturfed to hell to support the shit political two parties
-
@coolboymew @mrsaturday queer is broader than sexuality but obviously it's part of the damn acronym so
-
@coolboymew @mrsaturday you can queer anything it just means you are subverting the dominant pattern.
-
@Moon @mrsaturday exactly, it's just pointless subversion now, one that is supported by the establishment
-
@Moon @coolboymew Does this mean Poast neetsocs are queering politics by going against the ever-rolling wheel of progressivism
-
@mrsaturday @coolboymew yes but no because unstated is you have to conform to the dominant liberation narrative
-
@Moon @coolboymew So "queering" is when you subvert dominant patters in ways that don't make AOC frown. Yep, that sounds about right.
-
@coolboymew @Moon It's a fancy and snappy way to say "cultural Trotskyism", really. The permanent revolution, brought to you by Target.

@mrsaturday @Moon Poast is one of the possibles consequences of the current shit system
You discover that everything is fake and absurd > you aren't even safe in your hobbies > despair and searching for answers > to out it simply, red pill/black pill > poast is one of the possible consequences resulting from that
-
@mrsaturday @Moon in the end all of this is caused by increasingly corrupt failing empires that are now crumbling from the weight of decades of shit policies not supporting the people
