The take I'm most sick of (Pol, Birbsite screenshot, my advanced apologies)
I grow increasingly weary of the burden of action being placed on the marginalized.
"You need to teach shitty people not to be shitty! And stop calling them shitty!" Is weak sauce.
We crossed that Rubicon years ago. Like, why the fuck should I have to reasonably engage some regressive animate slime-mold who wants to argue that my identity is wrong? Or that keeping children in cages separated from their families is "a difference of opinion"?
Fuck off with that fascist horsehockey. This isn't your wacky uncle who's going to experience a life-changing moment at the climax of the Disney movie and realize the error of his ways. It's a gaggle of willfully hateful assholes purposefully arguing in bad faith.
They deserve NOTHING. We should not accommodate them, or their spouting off.

@Phorm Like half the people with that take are doing it in bad faith to waste people's time anyway.

@Doephin Probably true.
It just gets under my skin when people I know retweet/boost something like this with "Read this thread!! It's so true!!"
Makes me despair.
