just more excuses and refusal to acknowledge what you did was a betrayal of trust. even if they never find out what you did, you will know what you did.
now you're moving the goal posts again while making excuses for why you're right and vilifying them based on their immutable characterizations. "they aren't protesting because they are cis white males and because of that they are supporting the shooting of journalists." 👈 this is what you're implying with your words.
yes, and it's not because you're an insufferable and toxic "friend". Jesus, do you even hear yourself? just fucking own it. you hate them because they are cis white males who don't want to do the thing you're trying to guilt them into doing. that may not be why they aren't doing it, but you're also not helping yourself. you're so impetuously self-righteous you can't even see you're doing to them what MAGA is doing to you.
I'm going to get real with you. You do not want protestors who don't care at your protests because a protest needs soul and impact. if you fill a protest with people who don't want to be there, for whatever fucking reason, your protest will die and the movement will have lost power instead of maintain or increase power.
now you're attacking them again? Jesus I'm getting whiplash from those posts moving.
then why bring up their sexual orientation, their gender, and their race? if it's simply a problem with their response why not say, " they won't protest because they are too comfortable and won't protest." it doesn't fit you narrative that you're desperate to live in. The clear narrative that anyone who doesn't protest with you, protests against you. That kind of mentality will do nothing but make you enemies.
you're right, but that doesn't make the guy in a four bedroom home wrong but it may make him an asshole. last I checked assholes are everywhere, but that alone doesn't make them wrong. just like you're not wrong for calling them out for not protesting, but it does make you an asshole for using their characterizations in a way that vilifies them.
that's cool, I'm glad that someone found it funny. doesn't make you any less of a shitty friend though, and it doesn't give you permission to continue to abuse and betray your friends like that.
