is "not supporting someone" your newspeak for being asshole? because i am pretty sure that any group of people doesn't give a flying fuck about you or anyone else not "supporting them", just let them be and they will be happy.

    My experience is that when someone discovered they need certain civil rights but don't have them, often staring down thr barrels of police service pistols, then yes, they give all the flying fucks in the universe about being supported.

    This is one of those reasons that Leopards Ate My Face is a known trope and community. Sadly, the ones who empathize already have their share of leopard teeth marked scars.

    Given I and many people I know are not going to survive genocide in the US, if ever it goes full post-Wannsee, I have little patience for anyone who does not stand at least against the transnational white power movement (aka the white Christian nationalist movement). That includes even conservatives who wish the GOP would less extreme like in the Nixon and Reagan years. That train was always going to inevitably lead to the political crisis in the US, today.

    you missed my point and you wrote three angry paragraphs about it, good for you! 🤣

    My experience is that

    my experience is that when someone tries to put inequality sign between being an asshole and "not supporting them", he is trying to make an excuse for being an asshole.

    what do you even mean by "supporting them"? do you bring them food and your old clothes every sunday or something? how do you express on the internet that you "don't support" someone/something?

    when i am indifferent to a topic, whatever that topic is, i don't feel the need to go on the internet and express that indifference. when i talk about something, it is either because i am for or against it. so when you are being called for being an asshole, you weren't just "not supporting them", whoever them is in the context, you were probably an asshole and now you are trying to mask it.

    (to prevent further confusion - i am aware you are not the person i originally replied to, so any "you" in this text is just a figure of speech)
