NOPE IS NOW ON NETFLIX

Conservatives have this deeply internalized suspicion that doing politics is somehow immoral or cheating, which they acquired from seeing progressives win repeatedly, a victory they want to disqualify somehow. So every movement must be "totally organic" spontaneous action, i.e. *not doing politics*. You see this all the time when they accuse liberals of "busing people to vote" - the conservative thinks of voting as a private, confessional act of individual agency you do alone with your own car after work. Rounding up a bunch of people to cast votes together in a coordinated action is so suspect it sounds like fraud to them. I think conservatives don't even notice they're doing this, that they never actually make the final point where they say why this is actually wrong. They similarly view organizing political protests as a form of cheating, like it disqualifies the imagery to point out that a protest was effected by a nonprofit company that dispersed schedules, hired organizing staff, etc. Walsh isn't far-right enough to make the subject of his revisionism "segregation is good actually". But he thinks it's just obvious to his audience that if you say Rosa Parks was an activist, who intended to defy the law, that what happened to her isn't unfair, or otherwise doesn't count. After all, a compliant black person following instructions and staying out of trouble would probably be left alone, which means there's no acute situation in which attention is focused. Parks cheated by doing politics. This is sort of their version of the "he crossed state lines" bit. Whatever preceded Rittenhouse's presence at a riot in 2020 didn't matter as soon as a violent assailant eagerly gave him the confrontation many were hoping to see happen. And it didn't really matter what was in Parks' mind when she refused to move, the point is the system she was protesting did exactly what the activists wanted, which was highly embarrassing to it because so few can defend the actual application of the law.

i miss every single person i’ve ever met in my life

I’m a liberal who can model that pro-life conservatives think abortion is murder. I agree that not all liberals can, but plenty of conservatives can’t model liberals for crap either. Lacking a theory of mind for opponents is common across the entire political spectrum.

allocishets are definitely 100x more biphobic than queer people but i think it can often feel more hurtful when its coming from within the community bc this is the one space where we're supposed to feel safe and thats taken away from us

It concerns me how many socialists seemingly view working class folks as imbeciles who need to be lied to or talked to like functional children

Why do yall think New Yorkers say “Are you mad?” Instead of crazy? Why do yall think they say Big Up when they’re not even Jamaican or even West Indian lol

there is no point in arguing with people who genuinely believe 90% of porn is nonconsensual the idea that grown women can’t choose to be porn stars, they MUST have been coerced or manipulated into it, is what’s misogynistic here
