Man, I hate identity politics. It really has been an extremely useful tool to get the wealthy to divide us so that we won’t care about our own deliberate impoverishment.
At the same time, whenever someone is mean to my trans homies I want to punch them in the throat.
I legit had this stupid fucking argument with this moron who claimed that they should have the right to be intolerant. No dude, your rights end where your fist hits my face. People claim freedom we aren’t completely free, we live in a society together. We agreed as a society that murder and assault are not allowed, and that could be considered curtailing “freedoms”. These morons though don’t see the nuance and just want to be racist pricks
Hear, hear! I mean, that moron has the right to be intolerant, but not to reshape society in their image. And they aren’t free from the social consequences of their personal intolerance.

I’ve grown fond of “Don’t give a fuck if you don’t like me, we have to exist on this marble together, so how about we work to make it better”.
We’re all in the shit together, but if they wanna make it smell worse, they deserve the punch.
they love to fly the “don’t tread on me” flags but haven’t figured out that applies to other people too.
Limiting the ability to tread on others IS treading on them! …to them

The Tolerance Paradox. The one thing a tolerant society cannot tolerate is Intolerance.
you’d be shocked at how many people don’t grasp this
lol not shocked at all, I am painfully aware.
Sir, please be respectful of the flag and use its’ proper name:
No Step on Snek
Agreed.
I just wish we could get people to care as much about the wages they’re being paid as they do about people using slurs.
Isn’t that what separates the lower and middle/upper middle class
Identity politics is considered tailism for a reason.
