    The fact that so many progressives can’t tell the difference between genuine ableism/bigotry and trolling conservatives is why America can’t have nice things.

      There are differences anyone can see, but unfortunately there are also unavoidable similarities, including some of the consequences, and that is a lot harder to see.

              Yes yes a nuanced defense of being an asshole to the right people despite also hurting the wrong people as though the problem is not enough nuance

              The problem is not that progressives cannot see the differences, it’s that bros refuse to see the similarities.

                AFAICT the only feelings I’ve hurt are yours.

                Takes a real jerkface to think they’re entitled to be the only one starting negative interactions with people.

                If you don’t like what I have to say to you there is a very, very simple solution.

                edit: Stop starting interactions with me. That’s the solution. Didn’t wanna overload you with nuance so I spelled it out.
