Even the usage of the term "endgame" implies an almost sportsman like perspective on the legal battle for transgender rights, devoid of any acknowledgment that transgender people have humanity and that their actions will have dire consequences for real people. A literal battle plan for how to dispose of us. No vague language, no hand waving away accusations of genocidal intent. Point blank, openly asking, "How do we get rid of trans people for good?"
They refuse to acknowledge that trans people, that any trans person, benefits from acceptance and support and freedom to be themselves. In their ideal world, first they'll deny our healthcare, deny our legal rights and protections from violence and discrimination, they'll replace mental health care facilities with religious conversion therapy camps, and when all is said and done and trans people continue to exist in any shape or form they'll resort to incarceration and disposal. They'll make laws enforcing dress codes based on assigned gender and make it illegal to change your name to one not approved for your assigned sex. This is what they've been saying they want for years. If they could do this, they would without a second thought.
We're the basis of the entirety of the post pandemic Christian conservatism movement. None of these people would even have jobs without us to scream about during the two minutes hate.
The Nazis started with Transexuals and Homosexuals. The Jewish people just outnumbered the Transexuals and Homosexuals by several factors.
Oh, and the homeless were the third group, again outnumbered by a couple factors by Jewish people.
Important why the reference is valid as well, is that endgame is rhetorically near 'Endlösung' (ultimate solution) and 'Endsieg' (ultimate victory), meaning complete genocide as 'solution' to 'the problem of the jews (existence)' ( 'Judenfrage' ) and world domination as solution to the growing extremes of the Second World War.
Please don't use 'Endlösung', 'Endsieg' and 'Judenfrage' in casual speech.
Americans don't like talking about how Nazis came to power. We literally remove the first line from Martin Niemöller's "First they came for" quote from school textbooks because it sympathizes with Socialism.
Neither they like to talk how a lot of Nazi discourse was based on American eugenics and the logistics of the holocaust were templated and inspired by the American genocide of Native American Indigenous people. In particular the use of concentration camps. Which the Americans copied and perfected during WW2 to imprison Japanese-American citizens.
what is the first line? i may not know.
Communists
It could be a movie reference tho. You know that movie where someone with all the power snapped his fingers and a bunch of people just disappeared?
At any rate it's never good to hear about fascists discussing plans that have an endgame.
Huh wonder how the movie got the name.
From a comic book?
