[This is a post by /u/TrappySaruh, a user of /r/drama back in the day (but not that far back, I was here first!) who was widely respected. Her explanation of why s turn into commies. I recorded this on November 29, 2019 because I feared the reddit superjannies would destroy it . It's possible it was written earlier or I copied it from someone else. We're supposed to have archives where you can find it.]

note in particular the lack of older (in yrs of transition) trans people that are involved in the broader transcommunity. in all my years of idling every kind of trans community, 1 constant: most of the people who are past their egg stage leave. theres a lot of reasons but the primary reason is that the transcommubity offers nothing to people who are "done". trans forums are full of mental illness that can easily suck up any happyness you have, especially if you're looked upto. imagine helping someone get over suicidal idealation only to have to deal with it again day after day after day.

because of this, what u get in very large communities (/r/traa) is a culture of people coming in, trying to figure out what to do and who they are, being mentored by people who largely just months prior were asking the same thing. repeat forever.

the final element is the general loss of purpose of life for, what seems like, most people. more people are online-only than ever before and a lot of people are deprived of deep fulfilling social connections.

what happens next has 3 stages:

1 -- conversion -- you have a vulnerable population (in the sense of confused and easily convinced by otherwise spacious arguments). communists come in and tell them that capitalism is the reason why they are suffering. capitalism and the systems embedded within it are the cause of the lose of purpose (living to make others profit isnt a fulfilling purpose). additionally, if it wasn't for profit above human suffering, HRT would be covered. SRS would be covered. everyone (not just trans but everyone) would be happier because they can work, or not work and do whatever they want and because of this hate and discrimination goes down. this means that the egg, whos likely greatest fear is 'looking like a 60 year old crossdressing transsexual', this provides fuel for anger to the egg who can think 'if i dont pass it is capitalisms fault'.

this message is popular, and it is effective. trans people are generally left anyway so being pulled far left is certainly easier than being pulled into some rightoid bs.

2 -- memes -- enough transposters have been converted into communists that it causes a feedback loop. communist eggs start mentoring new eggs, who learn the glory of communism and the evils of capitalism. a critical threshold is hit where there are enough clever posters (most people are bad at posting) that can make decent memes. this causes a tsunami of commie and bash-the-fash memes and all the other memes transpower memes you've seen.

meme subreddits come online at this point. once you know your trans, you dont really need /r/transgender and other misc subreddits anymore. they're more for questions about transitioning, hrt, news etc. so instead you create meme subreddits. meme subreddits are free-money in terms of subscribers, so they explode in size. meme subreddits quickly become THE trans subreddits, with /r/mtf /r/ftm //transgender and others being more specialized.

so back to the egg. imagine you're just starting to feel conflicted about your gender, and you look for information. what is the first subreddit you're going to find? /r/traaa and (lol) /r/egg_irl. what are they full of? communists. communism now becomes an implicit (not explicit) characteristic of being trans.

3 -- cult -- at this point, the commie meme is self sustaining. eggs come in already converted. communism becomes an important of the sense of community and friendship. everyone is friendly to each other, everyone is hugging and sqeueeing and "uwu"ing each other. "you go grrl!!", "frick pigs and their bootlicking fascists", etc etc.

what do you get with a hyper-friendly community that welcomes all but also has an obvious outlet for hate? you get a cult. because communism has become so deeply embedded into the culture of these communities, any friction against communist ideas, even only slight friction, cause a swift and immediate response. this leads into 1 person trying to defend themselves against 10+ people. others who might have similar misgivings but don't want to be ebicly dunked on by their friends keep quiet.

loud people are loud, and transcommies are very loud.

everything is great, and any criticism of it means you must be a traitorous self-hating who should leave.

i dont have sources for this or anything, its just my interpretation of watching the trans community since the 90s with a few embellishments. i might be wrong, or partly wrong, but its how i see it.

Found and copyapsted for you because I love this community so much

Bit of context: in 2022, there was a military coup in Burkina Faso. The new military junta took an anti-western amd pro-russian stance leading to a lot of fanboyism from online communist in reddit.

In a very unsuprising turn, the junta moved to purge the country from western influence, now that include homosexuality which is seen as a western perversion.

/r/thedeprogram is an anti-western communist sub. They're pro-russia, pro-china, anti-USA etc..

Reading through the article, it looks like it's only just been suggested by it's Justice Minister, and still needs to pass through parliament, and would then need to be approved by Traore himself.

This post should honestly be removed. If comrades don't open the comments, they will believe this misinformation like the rest of libs across Reddit.

It still unfortunately has a large Christian presence and I'm betting American Evangelicals have gained some ground in recent years.

Burkina faso is 64% muslim and 6.2% protestants but I'm sure it's the evangelicals fault.

I'm queer, they are my comrades [..] The French came, forced homophobia into every facet of their society, stopped them from socially progressing so they could take their materials, and now you're surprised they're homophobic?

I'll continue to critically support those who are resisting imperialism and trying to make a better life for the proletariat, even if they aren't perfect.

Anti-western online leftists continue to support people who would kill them or throw them in jail

Burkina Faso has been held back by the imperial core for decades and decades, they have been held back materially and socially, so they have not progressed to that point socially, yet.

Without question, criminalizing people based on their sexual orientation is unacceptable. That is absolutely a given.

But [leftie wall of text]

>I'm not racist but...

Basically the whole thread is cope , a lot of posters straight up say the mods should supress this information because it's liberal propaganda

!anticommunists !africans

Apparently the guy spraypainted swastikas on an underpass and bragged about it on 4chan. Can't find original post. 7 minutes in he's arrested at his mom's house with an edgy satanist necklace

He was already on probation as last September he left bags of rice (?) and flyers on peoples doorsteps. He was already out on bond then for some other similar bullshit. This is where the footage is really good as he was living alone and arrested at his apartment. 26 minutes in we get a tour of his apartment

He has a sweet setup with a small TV or monitor a foot away from his couch under a giant swastika flag and a framed Hitler Black Sun meme. Surrounded by uncooked rice, which was confiscated for evidence.

If anyone can identify this poster that says "MINE " something please help, is it another Hitler meme or some sort of mick thing?

Couch contains a stash of Couch Pocky, located above a frozen pizza box on the floor

Bedroom contains one mattress with no sheets, desktop PC and printer. He claimed he did not use these to print the flyers he distributed to peoples houses.

Desk contains potty paper rolls and a mysterious white jarred substance labelled with a swastika. He has a water bottle, at least he's hydrating

A current idea for the 'SKIBIDI POTTY' movie may be a hybrid animated/live action thriller stylistically similar to the 'John Wick' movies & 'District 9'.

Meet our mom of the day: Bria_in_pgh.

Today my bd got arrested. He went into a blind rage the other day at our landlord at our landlords corner store nearby to our house and entirely destroyed the store. Ran from the police for a day and when I woke up the next day I inherently had received a text from his best friend proving to me that he's been using drugs recently, which was a suspicion of mine based on his weird recent behavior with me but I was waiting for proof before I confronted him. I immediately gave him the ultimatum being either he owns up to what he's been doing and we get him help or I'm calling the police to the house to come pick him up. He denies denies denies and starts screaming at me while the kids are in the house. So, I called the police and he tried to flee but they took him in to jail once they finally got him in custody. Come to find out later he snapped on my landlord for a constable apparently placing an imminent eviction notice on my door. I'm now finding out he's been lying this entire time and hasn't paid our rent in over 4 months. I have to be out in 12 days, my 2 kids are w me I have no child care and barely any money because he's been the one working and I stay home with the kids.

I need to get an apartment and leave him asap preferably before he gets back from jail. What are some ways I can rake up around $1400 for security deposit fast? And yes I've contacted county assistance office so far but because of the holiday haven't gotten a response back yet.

Anything helps even just a kind word. Thank you all. I feel broken 😞

She doesn't deserve this!

Her kids don't deserve this!

Now how could a now single mom on the run make a quick $1400?

"Oh. Well....I suppose that could work for some small cash. But maybe find a job and talk to your friends and famil-"

Yep.........that checks out.

EVERYTHING IS DOWN AND WE'RE STILL OPEN AND DOING "MOBILES"

So my manager…. Let's call her K. Wants us to keep everything open (lobby, mobiles, DT….) she wants us to print receipts and use that as a form or ticketing…….. this is BS. Everyone working is about to walk out. We're having panic attacks and crying because customers are swearing at us. I'm doing my best to label cups and make some kind of system but I'm breaking down. I have anxiety and autism and this is abuse. Please help… someone…

I like this one because OP writes "Let's call her K" and then never uses K anywhere else.

our DM won't let us turn off mobiles it's like what the heck is that even gonna do??? I am really hoping everyone gets thru today alright 🫂

the system to turn them off is down ☠️☠️☠️ our district is trying to get them off

lmaoooo

Outage has people going crazy

Some dude was being impatient, ended up going behind the counter. He was ignoring other partners saying to get out from behind, I raised my voice because he clearly wasn't listening, then he starts yelling, "there's no counter here! Yell at me again, I'll fricking kill you" so that's fun

Take your pick from /r/starbucksbaristas and /r/starbucks, it's all rage all the way down:

And yes that is a whole forum for Transformers I appreciate it because it's one of those OG Internet forums that long predates any contemporary social media.

Apologies if this is a little less cerebral than what /h/lit is used to but my understanding is that the Eisner Awards are supposed to be prestigious or something. Interesting that it went to a licensed comic — a Hasbro property about action figures of all things.

I've always maintained that the Transformers comics are actually pretty dope sci-fi comics. Really they're the only Transformers stories that have ever been more than just toy advertisements and I've been meaning to do effortposts on the Dreamwave and IDW runs. Pat Lee easily deserves one all to himself

Anyway do our resident !comicshitters have any opinions?

FIRST STRIKE: Sending a pizza to his home.

His followers begin to give him suggestions on bolstering his defenses, and the more scientific kind begin to measure the delivery drivers' nose to make sure this isn't a false alarm.

SECOND STRIKE: Getting X user Glassafrica to post a wojack mocking him.

THIRD STRIKE: Getting some fat r-slur with a .edu email to mildly threaten him

FOURTH STRIKE: Another pizza is sent. This time he decides to record the event.

He strikes back against the ZOG by calling Benjamin and threatening to get the police involved.

FIFTH STRIKE (מִלחָמָה): They send the ZOGBOTS to go eliminate him. Thankfully they fail and only do a cool photoshoot and let him go.

Update.....: More pizzas have been sent. He tells the delivery drivers that the jews tricked them.
