"not engaging with the themes of this campaign" is the same tactic as when people say "read theory" in political circles: they're barely competent grifters banking on the idea that you'll feel intimidated or shamed by this and won't ask "what themes/theory" and assume they're right and you're wrong. If you do ask someone directly, however, chances are they'll block you or keep pushing the shame tactic, often even shaming you for even asking the question because if you were smart/good you'd obviously know, and if you say "okay, fine, I'm stupid and problematic, but can you explain it so that I can improve? Tell me your ways, wise one!" they will suddenly be too busy or tired. Anyway! highly recommend asking whenever you see a post like this and staying the course until you get an answer because thus far I never have but I HAVE taken down a lot of people who thought they could bully others into agreement.
#really the reason why the discourse is so bad is that a LOT of people are doing this to people who are pretty confident#in their intelligence and their personal ethics. so the first group is FREAKING OUT because this works on twitter#bc it's full of like. easily bullied 19 year olds and not adults with degrees in this shit.
