Performatively pretending to support movements against oppression is just no longer, in any way, less frustrating than the conservative tendency to just outright support oppression, and that’s all liberals do.

Obviously, conservatives are evil and huge pieces of shit, but I’m at a point in my online presence where I just expect the most brainlet shit from them.

Libs, on the other hand, are just in an indefinite cycle of spouting bad takes that enable oppression, but due to ignorance, they think they’re actively helping fight against it.

As a trans person of color, bigotry from conservatives is phasing me much less nowadays, but racism and transphobia from libs now seems significantly more abhorrent.

Don’t expect me to explain the psychology behind it. This is just how it be like sometimes.

    Yeah, minorities frustrated with individuals claiming to support basic human rights refusing to do more for their rights than voting harder are the exact same as dogs on leashes. Super clever.

      All mammals are like dogs to some extent. Animal behavior has some major themes. Humans are no exception. And there’s nothing wrong with being frustrated at liberals as long as you understand their place in this equation.
