Wtf

I get the sentiment here - that Westerners might have some blind spots about ideas of sovereignty, etc., but…

Having lived in the “Global South” for so long and lived here in the West for a couple of years too, I’ve met leftists from both hemispheres (?). I can assure you that we are just as heterogeneous, compromised, sectarian, as you guys in the West lol. This is giving “noble savage” myth.

You are right, thank you for correcting me.

But still some people might find a microlabel more appropriate/descriptive than general ones because of the connotations they carry. Trying to assert that they are bi, if they refuse the label adamantly, may not be helpful in the long run.

Unpopular opinion - yes, he might not be completely straight, but it is possible that he’s not completely gay/bi either. Some people define their attraction based on the gender presentation of the people they are attracted to. Being attracted to feminine / masculine individuals as opposed to women / men is far more common. Also fights bioessentialist narratives of gender tbh.

Oh, so like “cunt” in Australia.
