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.

I propose a middle ground and posit that self declared centrists/"apolitical" are the most annoying. Centrists have all of the mask off bigotry of the more open chuds with all of the gaslighting that they're not racist as the demonrat radlib types.

There's a point there. At least "left" libs are trying, sometimes, to be good people, however misguided they may be. Centrists on the other hand act like they're so much smarter and wiser than everybody else for sitting on the fence in the Hitler vs. polite Hitler debate. Insufferable pricks the lot of them.
