Getting away from the silly analogy: trans people and minorities and immigrants. They suffer more by the wrong choice from two bad choices.
Maybe you suffer exactly the same. Good for you. Enjoy that privilege. But maybe next time use that privilege to help those who aren't as lucky.
"Suffering is privilege" god I hate it when y'all co-opt progressive language to argue for a right-wing agenda like this. I'd rather you just call me a slur.
That's literally what I did this time. Except that Palestinians either don't register to you as human beings, or you've made peace with sacrificing them in exactly the same way you'll make peace with sacrificing trans people and immigrants the moment you feel we're too much of a liability.
There are so many ongoing crises that I can't even keep track of them all and the Democrats don't want to do shit to fix any of them and your solution is to salt your own fields and just keep sleepwalking straight into collapse. It's literal insanity.
Suffering less is absolutely a privilege. In what universe would it not be?
I'm not sure if you've noticed but I really only read the first two sentences of your replies. In case you were wondering how much time to spend on me.
You said that suffering "exactly the same" as the examples you brought up was "privileged," meaning that suffering itself is a privilege, not "suffering less."
You literally can't understand any idea that doesn't fit on a bumper sticker 💀
Suffering exactly the same as before is a privilege compared to suffering more than before.
You left out "as before." Regardless, I'm trans myself, so I do suffer "exactly the same" as the groups you mentioned since I'm part of them. I'm just not willing to take your horrific, insane, and suicidal devil's bargain of selling out another minority for temporary, fleeting safety until you find us politically inconvenient and make the exact same calculus about us as you do for Palestinians. As I said, I'm fucked either way, so I may as well go down swinging, at least trying to fight for my survival.
Please stop speaking for us and using us a crudgel to shame people into supporting your shitty corporate genocidaires.
