not gonna lie, as much as I support the idea of being critical of our language and how it translates to our perception of ideas that may be harmful or offensive, i.e. casually ableist language, I also think some people are too sensitive to exist on this earth, and their pragmatism and charisma are severely harmed by the way they perfectly play into the stereotype of the sensitive snowflake that reactionaries think of everyone left of center as. It is in fact not inherently reactionary to be kinda edgy, and tumblr leftie culture simultaneously embraces and rejects this in a super dissonant way.
#we get people saying eat the rich and elon kill yourself and then in the next breath complain about stupid or insane being ableist language#and sure you're technically right but jesus your optics are atrocious and you're not actually helping any human being on the planet#sorry but sometimes mockery of reactionaries requires uhhhh insults??? all insults are offensive to someone. be more pragmatic.#pick your battles#leftism#online left#tumblr leftists#discourse#anarchist#socialist
