This greentext is probably fake, but as someone dealing with memory loss and brain fog, I feel that I need to speak up about the last line.
It's jarring to see people comment on how saying 'forgot two weeks later' makes everything a lie. 'Forget' and 'permanently forget' are two different things. With memory loss, some memories can feel like a book that randomly checks out and checks into the library.
Girl boring guy quirky.
It's probably a bot. Nothing they say makes any sense.
Try going door to door convincing people or something or just stop fucking complaining all the time holy shit.
Are you the one guy who tries to walk up to corporate front desks with a resume and firm handshake, loudly asks for a job, only to realize how out of touch you are 3 after the receptionist tells you applications are all online now?
This is part of the problem of our current political climate. I don't know how you can constitute 'not bullying' as 'accepting them', but the complete lack of nuance in every conversation is what drives radicalization.
You can't 'bully' transphobes into being an ally. That's not how people work.
I get it. Transphobes are pieces of shit with the most punchable faces. But when you find yourself staring down into one, you need to ask yourself if you are going say what feels good and right to you, or what will make them just a little less transphobic to the next trans person they meet.
Deradicalization doesn't happen overnight. It may take transphobes a hundred, ten, or even just one trans person to show them undeserved kindness before they realize they were wrong.
I'm not saying it's anyone's job to do this. I'm saying that sometimes, maybe a trans person or an ally may be having a good day and find it in themselves to deal with transphobic bullshit just to show transphobes that they are the better person. If they do, I'm saying that we shouldn't ruin all the progress and emotional labor they've invested in by bullying the transphobe.
Not saying it's anyone's job to do this, but bullying transphobes doesn't deradicalize them.
Least out of touch boomer.
That's not an unpopular opinion, that's just a sheltered opinion. A few things you need to get out of your head:
- That so called 'safe countries' are safe for everyone. This doesn't say anything about those countries, it only says how little you know about them.
- People seek asylum trivially and are choosy beggars for going to X country (doesn't matter where, this kind of sentiment is always the same)
- Europe going to war was 'the good old days'.
- That Europe isn't at war right now
- The act of being born in a 'safe country' makes you more deserving of it than other human beings
Fucked up economy that we live in when we can't buy a home without parent's help anymore.
