Well, at the rockbottom, the only function is to shame and ostracize hateful conservatives who threaten the safety and acceptance of said community.

Hopefully it is much more than that, but even that is enough to be worthwhile.

    So it’s about winning a propaganda war, not attempts at mutual understanding for you?

    It is about protecting innocent people from hateful bigots, I am sorry if you can't understand the threat they pose, but I understand it very clearly.

    There can be no basis for mutual understanding with people that define their politics upon hurting other groups of people.

    I look forward to having intellectual conversations with conservatives after they become too afraid and ashamed to dare to speak their hate out loud in public spaces and they go back to pretending to not have batshit crazy hateful views..

    The conditions for an intellectual discussion I define quite reasonably as you are not actively espousing beliefs and realword policies that preclude the existence of safe spaces for vulnerable groups like trans kids, black people, muslims, women, immigrants of any legality or origin, and the poor in general.

    safe spaces

    Safe spaces with strict rules are great and necessary. Not everywhere can or should be a safe space though.

    Tell that to a scared trans kid, or an immigrant trying to gain a citizenship in the US and live the american dream, or tell that to a woman who has to wait until she is precisely almost dead for a lifesaving abortion.

    Nowhere for these people is safe (especially since this a global trend) because conservatives support policies for the sole and explicit reason they hurt people in these categories to the point that they will hand everything away to the fifthy rich just for the privilege of knowing a trans kid is going to be denied lifesaving healthcare and acceptance.

    Shame on you for talking so flippantly about safe spaces in such an atrociously cruel moment.

    I spit on conservatives, their views are destroying my country at a rapid rate and it is just a disgusting ideology full of thinly veiled childish fear and hate.

    People who aren't cowards protect innocent and vulnerable people, conservatives specifically target those people because it is easy to punch down at them and get assholes to like you for it.
