@7666 @feld @georgia I am sympathetic to the argument that queer category people should be resistant to legal categories completely because they reify and limit and ultimately punish people outside those categories, which is kind of what queer movement is meant to get away from. but governments are fundamentally rule-making machines and all the rights any gay person has, isn't exclusively because of government, but wouldn't exist without top-down government. there's a real contradiction there and I don't know how to resolve it.

@sun @feld @georgia I am sort of done with the concept of democracy and "the people", but don't want this to be read as "this guy's gonna make tranny centric fascism!".

Like, no, I am done with it in its entirety because any system that can be so completely and utterly subjugated by idiots, malicious pillagers, or foreign stooges at any point in time doesn't deserve power, because one grant of power at one point of time becomes a weapon to be used against us at another point in time, so either it needs to be bulletproof against subjugating factors via the reduction of powers so that a misled populace cannot destroy itself (yeah right), or just dismantled and rebuilt entirely, and that rebuild will likely require some tough decisions about mitigating how we got here in the first place.
