“OK, so did you ever get profiled anytime in your life for being gay?” And she says, “Yeah, all the time. I hated it.” And I was like, “Well, do you realize that you just profiled me based off of the vehicle that I drive and me wearing work boots and being a big white guy as being a Nazi when it’s completely something totally different?” And she broke down in tears and apologized.
Sure buddy. She totally didnt say: “Your nazi ass chose to buy this car despite Musk being a nazi, so go fuck yourself!”
What is it with rightists and thinking they have the codes to make us suddenly realize the error of our ways and agree with them entirely? Like, they think they have these rhetorical truth bombs they can just drop at a moments notice to un-woke-ify an entire room at once. But those are actually usually dogwhistles or slurs…
I feel like they think the same thing about us. Especially the odd time I try to explain something seemingly basic to them (say, ‘innocent civilians shouldn’t be bombed’ for example.)
And it always falls on deaf ears.
I’m just cutting more and more of them out of my life at this point because their toxicity is so bad it affects my mental and emotional well being.
