    A. This leads to politeness fetishists and tone policing. If someone says something offensive like “we should remove LGBT+ books from schools,” I’d rather shoot myself than speak nicely to that person.

    B. This has not been my experience with my fellow Americans at all. I even saw a mod from lemmy.world post mod-flaired horseshit in their politics community about how “The US is not a racist country.” Fuck that.

        Your instance is literally swarming with liberal transplants from reddit, so now you’re just being disingenuous.

        I live in the midwest, and I’m surrounded by polite fascists. Fuck politeness, and fuck this racist nation.

            If they have dogshit opinions about LGBTQIA people or immigrants to begin with, what’s rudeness on their part going to do? Lol

            Their opinions and lives already lack any value.

            Edit: Just noticed this guy moderates a community filled with bigots that engage in frequent use of an ableist slur, so it looks like this clown is referring to people like himself. “I may be an unhinged bigot, but at least I’m polite so I win!” Just the type of person I’m talking about.

                If you’re trying to lie about not being a bigot, you should really not lean into the sexist language lol. But thanks for confirming my suspicions, I suppose.

                Anyway, dunking on bigots is always the right choice, so I’m not sure what you think you were contributing by telling me that. Just makes you sound like a typical fragile cis heteroni.

                  Hahahaha, nah, it’s just funny when people who think like you can’t handle people not praising you for being so enlightened. Think what you want about me. Weird that you’re bringing identity into things considering you don’t know anything about me. But at least I don’t have to waste more time with you. Seeing you added nothing I accept your concession, you can’t win them all. Just lose with more grace next time.

                    This is what happens when people base their entire world and political beliefs on identity, they always have to bring it up lol

                    Anyone who identifies as something and bases their entire personality on it is boring as fuck, my personality is all about my sexual interests, my personality is all based on my religion, my skin colour, my favourite beer…. Fucking snooze, 1 dimensional cardboard cutouts

                    I really don’t give a fuck about people like you or your opinion about me. I’m around you losers constantly where I live. I just find it ironic that someone as fragile as you would presume to lecture someone like me about politeness. I’m not patting myself on the back, either. It only takes a baseline level of awareness to avoid misogynistic language. I’m not praising myself, I’m just amazed that people like you exist, and that there are so many of you. Then you cry when you get deplatformed or banned. It’s fucking hilarious!
