You don’t have “common sense” if you’re a transphobe. What you have is a gullible mind. The modern wave of transphobia was orchestrated by Epstein to take the heat off the bougeroisie for their crimes against children. You are literally playing right into the hand of the pedophile class if you buy into it. You’re a useful idiot to these monsters. It’s right there in the Epstein emails. Your being played for a fool by monsters.
Trans people have existed for all of documented history; all the way back to the clay tablets in ancient Sumer. Trans history is older than the Bible (which has nothing to say on trans people.) Many trans adults today report having known they were trans as young as 5 or 6 years old, long before they had access to the internet or anyone to influence them. Many even had conservative parents who would actively discourage them from discovering their true selves. All available evidence shows that trans people are born that way. All the internet has done has made it easier for people suffering from gender dysphoria (a painful neurological condition that results from a brain gender mismatch with that of one’s body) to understand what they are experiencing and seek help from a medical professional to undergo transition. Transition is the only treatment that has ever proven effective at treating gender dysphoria. Yes, everything you’re thinking of has been tried and utterly failed. Left untreated, gender dysphoria is often a fatal condition. So what do you expect someone born that way to do if you don’t give them access to the life saving medical treatment they need to survive?
Your life doesn’t suck because trans people exist. Your life sucks because that same Epstein class, the bougeroisie, are exploiting your labor and controlling the government through lobbying, manipulation, and other forms of bribery to crush the working class. They are your enemy, not the innocent trans woman who just wants to live her life in peace and not be harassed and she’s just trying to go to the bathroom like a normal person. I guarantee you have more in common with your local trans people than any of the billionaire pedophiles that tricked you into hating your fellow working class comrades.
True common sense would see you fighting against capitalism which is the actual cause of your problems. True common sense would be to reject the lies of the Epstein class that are designed to divide the working class against itself. The culture war is a distraction from the class war. Like it or not, you are a victim of the class war and these lies are just one more way that they get you. Don’t fall for the bullshit. Stop being so gullible. Fight capitalism, the true cause of your problems, not your fellow working class people just trying to survive.
AnCaps Don’t Actually Understand Capitalism
The fundamental thing that AnCaps don’t seem to understand is that the government is doing the bidding of the bougeroisie. What little rights they think they have under capitalism are just concessions the bougeroisie gives them to keep them complacent and docile to being exploited, and give it all a veneer of legitimacy. If there wasn’t any government to buffer us from the raw exploitation of the bougeroisie, we’d be in a hyper-feudalist slave state entirely controlled by the owning class at every level. You know, exactly what they mistakenly believe communism is. (When it’s actually the most democratic system possible and the only one capable of actually giving real meaningful rights to the workers that aren’t just concessions, but y’all aren’t ready for that conversation.)
The whole concept of volunteerism sounds great on paper but it goes out the window in 0.5 of a femtosecond the moment anyone starts growing in wealth and power like all market competition inevitably leads to. Once there’s a power imbalance, there’s no longer voluntary actions. “Work for me or starve” isn’t a voluntary transaction, it’s coercion. You can pretend you could protect yourself from that with guns but you fail to realize that without a government buffer, the bougeroisie just own the weapons of war directly and can use them however they see fit. You’ll be bringing a gun to a drone fight.
What they also seem to fail to understand is that without a government, you can’t have a stable currency. You might say you’ll use crypto but it only takes one look at the volatility of any cryptocurrency to realize that will never work as a day to day currency. (Not to mention all the other problems with crypto such as energy cost.) You might say you’ll use gold, but gold is a resource needed for industrial applications. It isn’t a neutral resource. Not to mention, you’re just setting up the owner of the gold mine (or whoever takes over Fort Nox) to own everything.
No matter how you cut the cake, anarcho-capitalism doesn’t work even on paper. For how much these people pretend that communism only works on paper, they can’t even come up with a theory that gets that far.
And I don’t know about you, but I didn’t fancy living in Rapture.
Epstein was Always Inevitable Under Capitalism
The Epstein class, apart from wanting you to forget their haneous crimes, also wants you not to question the system that not only made it possible, but inevitable; and that’s just what you should not do.
Capitalism by its very nature creates massive wealth inequality. That’s how it works. When you have private ownership of the means of production, those owners will inevitably become gluttonously wealthy off of the poverty of everyone else. Exploitation creates inequality, because that’s what it is.
Capitalism cannot be reformed. Setting aside for a moment that all concessions the working class wins will inevitably be rolled back by the owning class sooner or later, when you have competition, you have winners and losers. Eventually those winners become monopolies that concentrate all the wealth and power into the hands of a tiny minority. When that happens, you’ve effectively created market feudalism, if not full on fascism. The kind of wealth and power inequality capitalism creates, damages the brains of the owning class, burning out the center of the brain that makes you human and capable of rational thought; the center responsible for empathy. Without that center functioning is no surprise they engage in monstrous behavior. The examples are numerous if you do even a little bit of research. For the sake of your sanity I’m not going to list it here.
If we ever want a society free of the Epsteins of the world, we need to be absolutely certain our societal system does not allow wealth or power to become so concentrated. We need a system that is permanently decentralized and federated and where individuals, especially minorities and the vulnerable, can have their needs met concerns heard and addressed in a timely manner, and their rights respected. We need a system where nobody is in a position to disregard ethics without consequences. We need a system where the kind of structural failures that Epstein and his buddies took advantage of are simply impossible. That’s not something capitalism is capable of. So for the sake of humanity, we must leave it behind.
