I realized what makes Mastodon, and Bluesky, and Post, and Notes seem so odd. It’s the complete absence of the “if you won’t pretend this shit sandwich is sirloin it shows how biased you are/how much Trump broke you/what an echo chamber you’re in.”

“Lol, look at you showing your extremism by not liking our culture of Nazi flags at drag shows and people shooting children who ring the doorbell. Woke much, loser?”

Fuck that.

Never consent to pretend that shitbirds are decent people. You don’t have to spend your time throwing elbows at them, but don’t allow yourself to be bad-faithed into thinking that democracy or civility require you to treat shitty morons like they’re normal and acceptable.

Also: you know the cartoon where the dude turns into a Nazi because people called him a Nazi? Don’t be like that. Some people who hate the bad-faith shitbirds will also hate you. Every movement has assholes, narcissist, and dramatics. Deal with it and focus not not being a bad-faith shitbird.

@Popehat it's wild to me to see this happen time and time again. I'd like to think I'm not built that way, but I wonder if it's a basic human vulnerability.

@Popehat I always thought the point of that cartoon is that the person was always a Nazi ... He was just complaining about being forced to admit it.

If someone pointing out how terrible your views are causes you to double down...maybe that's on you

@Popehat that last bit absolutely belongs on a shirt. And hey cuz it's not twitter this comment won't automatically trigger an army of bots making tshirts in a weird race to the bottom.
