If you're unable to engage people in a reasonable way, then you're just as much of a problem as I am regarding progressing equality. People who mostly agree with you don't deserve a novel belittling them via straw man.

Im not one for centerism and half measures, and I fully get the idea of the paradox of tolerance; but you're exhibiting conservative purity culture, which is the very real failure to deconstruct our upbringing that causes progressive movements to constantly self destruct.

    "You're as bad as them because youre not nice to me." I don't care, people don't have to be nice abour things.

    Bud, we are not allies, you do not have compatible values with me and you don't get to dictate when you do because you wish to claim ownership over anything vaguely "progressive." I was serious when I said that an inability to engage with the very fundamental reality that this is a settler-colonial system disqualifies you from a serious discussion on the topic. That is not purity politics, that is recognition of the pervasive nature of the social constructs that system relies on and the opposing interests that exist between colonizer and colonized.

    Libs like you hate it being pointed out, but you are a fucking colonizer. Either grow up and change or stop clutching your pearls.
