i hate knowing no one will ever have a good faith discussion with me on certain topics because politics and discourse suck!!!
(no, i will not clarify)
(no, i will not clarify)
it is harder than you think to tell sometimes which issues are entirely clear cut and which are not. some absolutely are, and i understand that makes it stupid to tell people to & #39;try to understand where people are coming from& #39; bc sometimes that really is just & #39;racism& #39;
but unfortunately, some things that seem really clear cut like this are, in fact, not that. and i really don& #39;t have a universal message for telling them apart.
but! if someone you generally think seems like a well intentioned person holds one, i encourage you to TRY to reach out in good faith because 1) they might just be uneducated and you can help 2) they might have a pov you haven& #39;t considered?
but of course we live in This Discourse Hell so its hard to do on both ends because the difference between good faith discussions and & #39;receipts& #39; is annoyingly permeable These Days and boy do I hate that. Don& #39;t be like that, people.
idk what the point of this thread is im just frustrated
