sorry if this makes me an evil bigot but people arent entitled to mindlessly follow your beliefs or tolerate bad behaviour/attitudes just because you have more oppressed lables than them.

People should be able to lable idiocy and cruelty when they they see it and being a minority doesnt make it so you cant use your hardships to be manipulative, spout vile horrible things or say things that are simply not true

Its honestly why sj tumblr is such a toxic mess. Its ran by crybullies who despise honest communication and constructive community building. Its just 'im automatically right when i tell someone ~less oppressed~ than me anything and they cant question me. If they do theyre speaking over me and oppressing me by disagreeing"

'Listen to x voices' should mean not automatically disregarding a female, gay, black, asian etc persons views, and not that people should grovel and defer to others because they said so.

I’m sharing this random picture of a baby possum I found on Pinterest, but I’ve added a bunch of political tags so that people can put their political opinions aside and unite over this possum.

Caitlin Clark is the most polarizing figure in sports without being problematic. It's so weird and sad😟

Whenever I'm among leftists I sound like a right-wind extremist

Whenever I'm among rightists I sound like a left-wind extremist

Seriously, wtf

Liberal coward. Imagine leaving a hate message and having your messages turned off, lol. This is what the libs are about, folks! Calling people they disagree with slurs with no repercussions for their actions. If I did this, I'd be canceled within seconds. But when they do it, it's "justice." I have never once used foal language in any posts. Let alone any slurs towards people. But libs love to call Republicans slurs and curse words 24/7. This is what the Liberal Party stands for. Hate and slurs.

[pkspade]

got to love how both politcal parties have an equivalent of "You guys should be more understanding/accepting" thing yet neither side is actually understanding or even fuckin civil.

Conservitives: WOW This is the liberal left, i thought you were supposed to be understanding and open

Liberals: Doesn't your book say to love your neighbor or something.

LIKE OMG SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU ARE BOTH FUCKING HYPOCRITS, IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH, GET OFF THE FUCKIN SOAP BOX AND PUT A SOCK IN IT!

(And before some asshole puts "WE ARE UNDERSTANDING", no no you are not. Lefties you support the lgtbtq community to begin with or at least most of you do, and righties you are really only supportive of people with similar beliefs as you, you are saying im understanding and accepting of people who agree with me or see eye to eye with me, THAT IS NOT BEING FUCKING "UNDERSTANDING")

So, we do we go from here?

Ambidextrous

Some people are left-handed;

some people are right-handed.

I happen to be ambidextrous,

but what sets me apart

is that I will not use either hand

to force yours.

People make mistakes and say unsavory things. It happens. Its part of life. If you expect everyone to be absolutely perfect, everyone will fall short.

Cancelling someone who has one distasteful video or take is counterproductive at best and just downright stupid at worst.

It gets even worse when reasonable people are cancelled over small things, when they would have taken criticism/correction very well and actually learned from that moment.

Since some of you niggas continue to be intentionally dense, let me spell this shit out.

A child points out that someone's teeth are very yellow.

Their parents beat the shit out of them for the small offense, and do not explain why they beat the shit out of the child.

The child is confused, as they point out the colors of things they see during their day with their parents all the time. That person's teeth just happened to be yellow and they pointed out what they saw, not understanding that it may hurt the other person's feelings.

Instead of pulling the child aside, explaining as to why what they said was not appropriate, and moving on, the situation was blown out of proportion over something small and/or harmless.

Children are naturally very intuitive, and most children would learn from that and not do it again.

Now replace children with one singular person and the parents with the general public.

When you explain things and communicate, things go a lot better. But if you crucify someone for saying something considered insensitive or unkind without giving them the chance to learn and grow, it becomes unproductive to the larger movement in question.

If I'm fighting for the right to be as I am, I don't give a fuck if the guy who's protesting next to me once said something somewhat right-leaning. If he's in my side, and genuinely has my back at that moment I DON'T CARE.

I can talk to him about that shit later. Persecuting him for it is actively taking away from the cause in question, and if anything, I've done more of a disservice to myself and the other of the cause.

Y'all got too used to screaming and wailing when someone did some shit you don't like. Some shit you have to let roll off of your back and you have to LET. IT. GO.

Stop compromising our fights over some people not being perfect. I'm not perfect. I'm a hypocrite. We all are in our own ways. Some shit you just have to get over and push on.

I've met some reasonable, easy to talk to, and even pleasant right wing people. I've met absolutely UNBEARABLE left wing people. I've also met unbearable conservatives and pleasant liberals.

Some of the most thought-provoking, eye opening and deep conversations I've ever had were in my own house with my uncle who is conservative leaning, and my mother who is more left-leaning but hates to be categorized by the left/right. I would consider myself to be quite radically on the left.

There were times when it was my uncle who was the most reasonable person out of all of us, and talking with them made me realize that everyone has their own set of valuable opinions which need to be considered. My uncle has said some things I wholeheartedly agree with, and my mother has said things I thought were absolutely bogus.

Both of them taught me that listening solely to your own views in an echo chamber is unproductive.

Please learn to keep focus on the actual issues instead of stupid non-issues that can be resolved at a later time.

As much as I despise the Trump regime’s censorship, I’m loving this I-told-you-so moment against the Left. Social media platforms created policies against this kind of speech years ago after pressure from Leftists, but the policies were selectively enforced against the Right. Now the Left is getting a taste of its own medicine and equality feels like oppression. This is exactly what centrists and classical liberals like me were warning would happen back in 2014 when cancel culture originated - if you give authoritarians the power to suppress your enemy’s speech, they’ll later use it to suppress yours.

The story of the art that was stolen by Christy Kitsune

An artist friend of mine (his account has now been deleted) wrote several years ago (this picture now become CC-00):

"I want to talk about an unpleasant situation related to my work. I recently created an image for Christy Kitsune (Christykitsune) and shared it in our community. Soon after, she decided to use the image as her profile picture, but refused to credit me when I asked. At first I thought it was a simple misunderstanding and asked her again. However, instead of correcting the situation, she openly stated that she would not credit me as the author because of my left-wing political views. I was shocked by this answer. The situation worsened when Christy began to actively discredit me in the community. She encouraged other members to not only ignore my requests, but also to openly attack me. As a result, I became the target of harassment and criticism from her supporters. For me, it was a bitter lesson about how some people can use their popularity and influence to manipulate and bully."

I think he would like his picture to be used by someone with socialist views. But not right-wing radicals like Christy.

The problem with leftism is that everybody wants their form of leftism to be dominant before they take action.

This is as opposed to the right, who are fine with putting aside internal differences until after they take action.

Neo-Nazis and Reactionaries have fairly similar goals and will work together until the job is done.

Marxist-Leninists and Trotskyists have fairly similar goals, but will fight until one of them wins, who will then fail to beat the Neo-Nazi and the Reactionary.

Most men lean towards right because left can't shut the fuck up about how they think men suck and straight up misandry that's not even disguised. Nobody cares if it doesn't kill men like misogyny does to women, you're either a bunch of idiots who think this is helping fix things or just disgusting hypocrites
