Performatively pretending to support movements against oppression is just no longer, in any way, less frustrating than the conservative tendency to just outright support oppression, and that’s all liberals do.
Obviously, conservatives are evil and huge pieces of shit, but I’m at a point in my online presence where I just expect the most brainlet shit from them.
Libs, on the other hand, are just in an indefinite cycle of spouting bad takes that enable oppression, but due to ignorance, they think they’re actively helping fight against it.
As a trans person of color, bigotry from conservatives is phasing me much less nowadays, but racism and transphobia from libs now seems significantly more abhorrent.
Don’t expect me to explain the psychology behind it. This is just how it be like sometimes.
Ya I have a feeling it’s because people in this thread interact with libs more or something. I have to interact with lots of conservatives at my work, and let me tell you, it’s sooooo aggravating. So this take surprises me, but I guess when I look at it that way, it makes sense.
