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.

Because conservatives will say shit like "I don't hate black people I have a black friend." It's abhorrent racist bullshit but it's vaguely honest even though their clumsy line about an exception here or there is probably a lie. Having a bad lie is just a scenic way to telling the truth.

Liberals will say shit like "I don't hate poor people I have a friend that used to be poor." It's that subtle twist that makes your skin crawl.

If you invite two friends to your party and one says "I'm not coming" and the other says "I'm just running late" but never shows up which of the two disappointed you the most?
