i dont care that i change the minds of bigots bc in a large sense its not always possible, but i do find it amusing that i know they'll be thinking about my words and infuriating themselves for a few hours or even days lol

and i know that because the obsessive levels they go thru to be that mad about anything makes it impossible to not do that. its what they exist off of. either they'll burn out from exhausting themselves or they'll force themselves to stop caring and hopefully, shut the hell up

thats kinda my stance on a lot of things. i don't give a shit whats in your head, because its contained there. i give a shit about when its written down or spoken aloud where it can attract others.

less "changing minds" and more "too scared to speak up"

there will always be hateful people somewhere out there. its not my job to untangle their bullshit, but if i can make them feel like its not worth it to speak up, thats good enough. if they dont feel bold, they can't mobilize and become a threat.

@glitter This right here, is why I have no problem being labeled as a troublemaker, I ain't gonna let some throwaway bigoted remark go unchallenged.

Eventually, they get tired of having to defend their bullshit views and go away, and then nobody else has to deal with their shit too.
