going on a poorly articulated rant at someone instead of just asking them to fix their mistake somehow isn’t performative, but expressing my opinions that I’ve developed over almost a decade of political discourse is?

being a bitch doesnt make you a better activist & I’ve learned that personally. I’m still a bitch, but somehow being a “performative radical leftist” instead of a self-righteous pseudo-intellectual means I can finally hold an actual conversation with people of opposing viewpoints

blame that ability on any of the plentiful privileges that I have no right to deny, but I’m not actively using them to do harm, and I’m literally opposing the social institutions that allow my own privileges to exist

this thread is so stupid I want to bang my head against a wall until one or the other bursts!! I literally woke up and could not go back to sleep because I feel like I have to defend every false persona that anyone has and will project onto me
