I found this sign posted on a store’s building when I was on my way home from a job interview. No, that isn’t my hand in the image; I had to find an HD version on a Facebook page for a company.
The most libshit thing you can do is disregard the paradox of tolerance because being open to fascists seems more inclusive at face value when, in actuality, it isn’t at all.
Equating the discomfort that BIPOC, religious minorities, women, LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, the disabled, and neurodivergent people go through with a chud feeling uncomfortable simply because he got dunked on for his trash takes is just sleazy as fuck to me.
In essence, yes, you can not and should not kick someone out of a facility simply for harboring certain political views, but the need to put said political views on the same level as the discrimination that all the above categories go through makes this one of the most transparently performative attempts at inclusivity I’ve ever seen.
The best thing to have done was to just simply leave “ALL Political Parties” off the damn sheet.
Political ideology spews from the circumstances of material situation. Everyone believes their own views came to them rationally through the muses of logic and they have a hard time sympathizing with contrary views. I find it difficult to sympathize with fascists, because I’m one of their principal targets. Billionaires have a hard time sympathizing with me since they see money how I see tap water.
It’s a choice to vocalize or organize political views, yeah, but a person’s views come from two sources: their own personal experiences or they have an extraordinary level of ability to view reality through a different perspective. That second thing is really rare and doesn’t impact a person’s views nearly as much as their own lives.
