This kalpa sucks ass but at least it gives me an easy litmus test for "leftists": 1. Do you believe Russia is unambiguously the wrong side? 2. Do you believe Israel is unambiguously the wrong side? 3. Do you believe in sex worker self-determination? Then when someone answers "yes" to all 3 I know they can be my comrades, and if they answer "no" to any of them--or, even worse, "yeah but"--then I know where to expect to be thrown under the bus. (Broadly: people who answer "no" to 1 will finance dictators currently bombing your friends, and will themselves send the People's Revolutionary Secret Police to disappear you the instant they sit in power; people who answer "no" to 2 have unexamined colonial supremacy feelings that will pop up whenever they deal with Global Southerners; people who answer "no" to 3 are affected by terf-swerf essentialist mindrot, are disgusted at your body for being hypersexual/kinky/making porn, and will happily get your girlfriends deported to allegedly "'save them from sex trafficking")
