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.
at least cons recognize they’re operating off some sort of ideology, if not just because they can see their beliefs at odds with wider society
libs have this end of history thing going on where they could never be afflicted by ideology or propaganda. they’re the ‘normal’ ones and obviously the solution to all of our problems exist within normalcy.
