Okay I think they're saying that immigrants and minorities are the ones causing economic problems
The problems are bad = social welfare, higher taxes, security nets, etc. -> fiscally conservative
Socially very liberal = The causes, immigrants and minorities, are very good

See, I thought it was the other way around. The problems (racism, sexism, queerphobia, people not having healthcare or housing or food or...) are bad, but the causes (the economic system, capitalism) are very good.
Who knows, really? It's a tweet by someone heavily invested in the current status quo, that much is clear

Am I the only only one who fails to understand this ?
to be less specific than the other commenters: I read it more as saying that from a materialist perspective, being supposedly socially liberal but fiscally conservative is well, stupid, because the social issues you claim to be liberal on have economic roots that you must attack if you want to really fix them.
This is the only way to interpret the post in my eyes tbh
To me it seems like he is saying "Nobody should be made homeless for being gay/trans/other identify-related reasons, however if they are made homeless for reasons of poverty I want the cops to use a railgun to remove them"
It's either saying that they dislike transphobia and bigotry but are fine with the system that causes it (capitalism) either that or they dislike not being able to get a job and are blaming immigrants for it, imo it seems like the former
Ok wait , how does capitalism create transphobia and bigotry ? Dont they exist irrespective of the system ? I mean big corps may be fuelling it , by implicity supporting transphobes but they will be the first to show themselves as pro trans rights if they get mainstream ?
I fail to understand many memes on here and then I see a joke I actually get and the users all downvote. Lemmy makes me feel like I'm the only one without autism for the first time in my life.
