I'm at a point where liberals are more annoying than conservatives. (hexbear.net)

Performatively pretending to support movements against oppression is just no longer, in any way, less frustrating than the conservative tendency to just outright support oppression, and that's all liberals do.

Obviously, conservatives are evil and huge pieces of shit, but I'm at a point in my online presence where I just expect the most brainlet shit from them.

Libs, on the other hand, are just in an indefinite cycle of spouting bad takes that enable oppression, but due to ignorance, they think they're actively helping fight against it.

As a trans person of color, bigotry from conservatives is phasing me much less nowadays, but racism and transphobia from libs now seems significantly more abhorrent.

Don't expect me to explain the psychology behind it. This is just how it be like sometimes.

It really depends on if you mean liberal establishment, or the ordinary level of liberalism that exists in all members of our society, of which most politically uneducated people are going to be "libs" perjoratively, but not libs generally. At some point or another, the majority does have to be engaged. :/

The establishment (the state?) is super fucking annoying and smug and seems to be unable to reckon with any critique. I've noticed they only respond to people who insult them with "ah, an ad hominem I see" and never the longer more conversational/academic responses.
