The culture war is the most inane bullshit and it's designed to weaken the left. Protesting for Palestine to fight racism is useless while capitalism still exists. Same with trans rights and the environment. We need to focus all our resources on socialist revolution. Wasting time fighting racism and transphobia will just weaken us. I have a strong suspicion that the CIA has been stoking the pro-palestine movement to distract the left.
I have a strong suspicion that the CIA has been stoking you to divide the left. The fact that you consider fighting racism and transphobia "wasting time" shows that you are incapable of building the solidarity that would be required for a socialist revolution to succeed.
You can't effectively address those who are transphobic and racist by fighting them, shaming them, and being hateful towards them. Bigotry and hate are fueled by a lack of understanding, acceptance, sometimes by a sense of superiority, fear, tribalism, religion, propaganda, incoherence and disconnection, confusion, and of course also by hate.
Adding to a cycle doesn't break it, we need to move past these cycles of hate and hurt by joining hands with those who are on the side of all of humanity.
The people living in hate and fear who have dug their feet deep into the ground, blocking progress or even regressing it, standing with their closed hearts will catch up eventually.
