    Makes you wonder what the actual goal is, that they're willing to fuck up any chance of significant gains to defend dudes in dresses

    There isn't one. I know conservative-types love to rail on this trans shit and other culture war stuff as "far" "leftism", and at this point trying to argue against that is basically futile because there's very very few of us "left but not woke" people left. But the short of it is, this stuff isn't "left" in any economic sense: It got cooped by fedshits and ivory tower PMCs back in, like, the 70's. Ever since then, it's just been blindly attaching itself to whatever is "progressive" but doesn't disrupt the neoliberal status quo. Trans Idpol is just the latest weapon in the toolchest to keep "the left" arguing amongst itself and with other (less liberal/progressive) working-class people to avoid them actually achieving class consciousness or accomplishing anything. Social media amplified this to the point where there really is no "left", just a bunch of "LGBTQIIPXWTF++"s larping as revolutionaries from their basement on Twitchtterbook with absolutely no goal or endgame in sight, who talk a big game about how bad capitalism and how good a revolution would be, while simultaneously being unable to talk to anyone even remotely different than themselves or do any sort of useful labor. At first they were parasites on the left, but at this point, the parasite is the host and I've lost any hope of building any sort of working-class left coalition as long as these freaks hold the banner of "the left".

    The far left don't want to win elections, they want to destroy society.

    I don't believe there is a goal. If there were they'd be acting in a more cohesive and effective manner. I think it's merely a strong belief in the general mantra of "you can be whatever you want go be no matter who you are" regardless of the rediculousness of that statement.

    We are all restricted by the physical reality of the universe. I wish to be able to fly like the birds. A lofty dream and it is proper and good that we create flying machines that allow us to overcome our own physical limitations and achieve something that is beyond our own personal limited ability to experience what our ancestors could only dream of, yet if you decide the laws of physics don't apply to you and jump from your roof naked as the day you were born the Darwinian laws of survival will take precedence and crush your dream with indifference.
