    Well then I’ve said this before- bigots are of every class and if the elites never said one single thing about queer people again, they would still be oppressed, attacked and murdered by poor people who are also bigots.

    Bigotry existed long, long, long before capitalism, so one has nothing to do with the other.

      Sure bigotry exists and has always existed.

      What I’m saying is that most of the discussions and division today is not caused by actual bigotry. It’s manufactured to keep the lower classes fighting among themselves and not focus on the ruling class.

      In your melodramatic fantasy, the government would be the ones putting people in “conversion camps” and post-Luigi demonstrated very clearly that the ruling elite are not allowed to be seen as subject to the same reality as the rest of us. Tim Cook won’t end up anywhere and if he does, I’ll eat my hat. Screenshot this post.

        In my “melodramatic fantasy,” queer people are already being treated like that without Trump being in charge. And you think it will get better?
