Hang in there! (NSFW)

Ew what is that

Those Ukrainian Democrats are known for inaction actually

Yes, I’m pointing out what you prioritize is really weird and not consistent with what you’re saying, in my opinion. I make comments willingly, as you have mentioned. Your behavior is more your concern than mine (and also certainly whoever is subjected to it in your real life, whatever that looks like)

Weird how quickly you respond when adding nothing of value and treating others poorly, but when asked questions about the specifics of what you prefer to what you’re shouting down, you sure take your time.

Okay? I stand by my saying you’re wrong.

Still waiting on the response to the other one btw

What? Why do you think that observing that no one is coming to save us = not caring about the outcome or not doing anything to affect it? Btw, since you’re so against apathy I’m pretty curious 1. What steps you’re taking to prevent the spread of fascist policy and ideology and 2. What do you recommend to the average US citizen who feels overwhelmed and helpless to stop the hostile takeover to both make change and feel empowered?

Lol what? No. You are either deeply misunderstanding what I’m saying or trolling.

More like a bail fund

Is this a joke? Where is the precedent for interceding in fascist regimes simply to stop fascism? If anyone from the outside steps in in any way it’s not going to be to save us, and it’s more likely IMO to be from someone with interests in acquiring US holdings, I.e. not because of the spread of fascism. I would be very surprised if I was wrong about this.

Oh shit you got me good

Jesus this is all there is for gender/sex/race/immigrant/etc discrimination, if you can even say it’s about that

The link about “travel and your identity” idr what it says exactly but it isn’t anything specific to US and certainly not much help in the current scenario

telling me how to organize

tone policing

“What you’ve shown me is a fragile ego and an inability to take criticism”

🤭

Edited to add: if you honestly see that from my words and behavior here, what you’ve shown me is a lack of empathy and I have no more words for you.

Don’t worry about me friend, I’m looking after my community and my loved ones and myself, but you are right that authoritarianism is the real threat, and the best way to counter that is community organizing, which is what I spend my time doing. Not saying that because I feel the need to tout my accomplishments, I feel I have a very healthy self image. But you do seem confused about where to direct your efforts so just so you know, that’s what I recommend.

I’m very happy actually :) thank you for your concern.

Yeah that makes sense now. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. I agree, it’s pathetic. I was thinking you meant Elon and was confused.

Again: you don’t get to enforce conformity my guy

Again: please show me where I said anything that even suggests that. My language was as respectful as possible and most folks who are not assholes wouldn’t take issue with it. Y’all are actually trying to tell me that I don’t get to say what feels inclusive to me, and that’s literally trying to enforce conformity, my guy.

enforce conformity

I don’t see where I said I would like to enforce anything, please point out exactly what you’re referring to. [1]

We should try to celebrate diversity

Yeah, that’s what I said too, when I was explaining in a very clear and solutions focused way to someone else the ways they can, you know, actually do that by respecting folks who may feel left out when it’s so common to assume everyone is a man behind a computer, which is the opposite of “celebrating diversity”.

dude

man

This feels intentionally (and unnecessarily) disrespectful after I just made it clear I do not think that type of language is inclusive to everyone.

should

Why don’t you just enjoy

We should

Please don’t talk to me that way. I’m very happy with my life and don’t need to be told what to do or enjoy.

It adds some flair

Nothing wrong with flair.

when the reader understands the context

Yeah that’s the problem. Not every reader will immediately understand that context, and if they don’t, in this example specifically just for a hypothetical, say because they’re gen-z (too young to get the ref) or autistic (more direct communication is better understood) or something, they may think this is just some place where everyone assumes everyone else is a man or a dude, like reddit.

The history of our language.

Hwæt, hwæt þu ne spræce swā gif þu þearft on gemyndum habban þæs þe ær gewāt?

ETA: Footnotes since y’all are so intent on misunderstanding:

1. More specifically, I didn’t say that they should change the comment, or use any language that can (IMO) be reasonably interpreted as trying to “enforce” anything. My intention is as stated: a gentle reminder of what makes the community feel cohesive and inclusive to me and I’m certain there are others who feel the same way.

Idk man friend. I’m kind of worried that this is the start of a big economic recession due to isolationist, regressive, accelerationist etc policies by far right govts.
