I’d hoped i wouldn’t have to make an exception for safety, but yes, if you have to survive by saying nothing when someone says bigoted shit, that’s your business.
But people look the other way when safety isn’t at stake. I don’t want anybody to be homeless because of me, but I would hope that someone who believes in solidarity would risk some social standing when someone starts dropping slurs.
It’s not about their education, it’s about refusing to give them ground to be shitty. It’s about being serious as an advocate.
But what about my second question? Why are conservatives like Liz Cheney or Mitt Romney getting treated like heroic politicians by blue voters?
There is a level of respect that liberals have for conservatives in the US.
Then why don’t more liberals call out their racist relatives? Why do Democratic politicians speak fondly of John McCain as one of the good Republicans?
A lot of liberals like conservatives and want them to see the world their way. They think conservatives are misguided but redeemable.
When they find an acceptable slur to use, they will use it. Part of being a liberal ghoul. They wish they could be vocal bigots like the conservatives they admire.
Just pride
I believe in doing everything as a community, comrade.

Oh my, you gotta pay attention to everything in these tweets.
Well he invested in crypto, Tesla, and Twitter. I think we should give him a shot.
They could lock Joe in a replica of the Oval Office and he wouldn’t know the difference.
I hate the Democratic party so much. They’re giving the election to trump.
They found his true name.

Unlucky you. Ugh if someone says “When they go low…” one more time, I’m going to bury the US in a blizzard.
And I really just want the lemmy users to come here and explain their bullshit ideology.
I pick up my Staff of Shit-Stirring and wave it over my head, calling the Lemmy Libs to explain themselves.
Lmao after years of homophobic libs making jokes about trump having sex with putin and being told that it’s not homophobic.
But you say someone isn’t safe with the nuclear launch codes, you’re doing elder abuse. I hate liberalism so god damn much.
Monstickers predicted nfts down to losing their apes.
I would much rather have a cw than all of these childish euphemisms for serious things.
It’s so jarring watching something online and noticing the person awkwardly skirting around the most accurate words to describe what they’re talking about.
Just sucks that the chuds just want permission to say the n word and make lazy transphobic jokes.
