Hi, my name is Tejas and I

love racists, hate racism
love fascists, hate fascism
love gatekeepers, hate gatekeeping

I refuse to reduce human beings to ideologies they hold to.

I will always (to the best of my ability) choose love and respect over all else.

Love does not mean approval. Sometimes, love could mean canceling/blocking people.

This does not mean the errant ideologies are inherently good.

This also does not mean that I disregard the victims of racism, fascism and others.

There is real hurt that needs to be addressed

To love one group of people does not mean to shun another.

Humans are humans.

All men and women are created equal, and are altogether worthy of love, respect, and kindness.

I will die on this hill.

I’ve been talking to a couple of people who tell me “to love fascists means to let them believe their fascism is OK and have them continue oppressing people”.

I think this is a misunderstanding of love.

This isn’t love.

Love doesn’t enable hate. Love transforms it.
