it is striking how liberals are 1000x more eager to be like "uhhhh bad take" about anything that goes against the mainstream headlines orthodoxy even though I'm also followed by a bunch of social conservatives, who somehow never feel the need to bitch at me about "degeneracy"

bitch you live like this? there's shit on my TL all the time that I wildly disagree with, including from friends, and I just... keep scrolling. why tf would you challenge someone, what even is the point

"so much for tolerant libertarians har har har" I'm actually awesome at mutual tolerance until you break the camel's back with more "Sonya I'm concerned don't you know that your opinions are evil?" horseshit

case-in-point: just received the semblance of an apology for imputing that I was *in favor of murder* which included the phrase "the caricature you have of the mob" — y'know, the mob that actually *has* assaulted people, physically and viciously, unlike me

this same person told me that *I* wasn't giving *them* the benefit of the doubt

we've been friends for multiple years. welp

it is so galling to know that if the strictures of respectability tighten even further, I will once again be told to my face that I'm a Bad Person™ and then presumably have my unwillingness to take the abuse spun as ~radicalization~
