It definitely feels true

The fact that the majority of the population there is ethnic Russian is only evidence that they're all born KGB sleepers in Putin's multi-generational plot to corrupt the purity of Ukranian blood.

The liberal conception of rights prioritizes property ownership over human life, so the Kiev regime has a "right" to the land it wants, but the people living there don't have a right to be alive.

Ah right, I forgot that long section in the Mueller report about how Vladimir Putin employed a crack team of KGB posting mercenaries to edit the Facebook page containing the only surviving copy of the US constitution to insert that bit about "the electoral college" while no one was looking.

If there's one thing I can count on being reminded of any time I turn on any TV news channel, it's that there have been no instances of anyone marching on the US capital to overthrow the elected leader in recent memory.

They're just worried about the possibility of having to accept Jewish refugees back into Germany if the settler-colony fails. Any "PR drama" they're getting from this is only from countries outside the imperial core, and none of those countries will do anything for fear of US intervention.

The class interests of the labor aristocracy are conservative when the empire is stable and reactionary when the empire declines.

Confronting your own internalized misogyny would be commendable if that's what you were doing. Blaming your internalized misogyny on an involuntary biological sexual response is not. Claiming that you can change your own sexual attraction but are somehow powerless over your own negative thoughts and actions toward women suggests a reactionary worldview that just straight up doesn't exist outside of religious bigotry. You did not arrive at this conclusion from reading Marx. Nobody else in history reached that conclusion from reading Marx, and you aren't somehow the first to divine it. You could only have arrived at this conclusion through adopting it in the only place it actually exists in the world (religious fundamentalism) and substituting terms in a way that you found aesthetically palatable.

You've claimed in this thread that you believe you can choose to force yourself to be sexually attracted to men against your own will as a political act of defiance against internalized feelings of misogyny. Find me a single actually existing communist party or political grouping of queer people outside of fringe religious cases that take this position.

This claim does nothing to address the root of your misogyny (your own beliefs and actions toward women) and instead adopts the extremely homophobic idea that queer people have been fighting against for longer than you've been alive: that they're simply choosing to be queer, and that they could just as easily choose not to be if they wanted to badly enough.

If this is just a bizarre expression of you discovering a genuine attraction to men and struggling with reconciling your bisexuality with your sense of self then I wish you the best in working through it. If you think you can just adopt a marginalized identity without authentically feeling that way to avoid having to do the work of decoupling your misogyny from your attraction to women, then I again urge you to please talk to a mental health professional in real life about this. It doesn't do you or any potential partners any favors to be carrying around this sense of shame and resentment or to fake an attraction that you don't feel. Both are extremely shitty things to put on another person.

the idea that your sexual attraction to women makes you inherently misogynistic isn't a position that you picked up from any actually existing communist party or Marxist writer. I don't believe it's an idea you picked up from any living human outside your own head. On the vanishingly small chance that this isn't a bit, I sincerely urge you to work through your self-hatred before pursuing any real life relationship with someone of any gender that you're either not genuinely attracted to, or that you feel ashamed of your attraction to.

This is either a bit, or you're suffering from mental illness. Please talk to other queer people in real life before making up wild proclamations about the essential moral character of sexuality, but don't do that before talking to a therapist and working out your personal issues. Your self-hatred isn't politics.
