Instead of leaping to what aboutism, look at what I wrote and tell me what part is incorrect!
Republicans don’t run on issues, they run and WIN on being anti woke. As are many other leaders who have reprehensible and deeply unpopular views, Bolsonaro, Mielei, la Pen, trump and all the would be Republicans etc.
Like I said, I don’t have a solution but the fact is that the ones destroying the world are doing so by running in opposition to social justice despite having massively unpopular positions on issues. It’s upsetting but also the truth.
But, if you really want to compare, okay. I’m imperfect but do my best; my device is refurbished, my furniture is almost all second hand (except a chair and my mattress), my clothes are almost all second hand or sweat free (I couldn’t find ethical jersies for my team or camping fleece), I haven’t had a microwave for almost a month because I’ve been trying to find one second hand, while I do eat meat it’s almost never beef and despite working out and eating a boatload of protein try to make as many veggie meals as I can. Despite making an upper middle class living for most of the last decade I’ve been car free until last year (I didn’t want to get covid on the ski bus with a bunch of kids again.) Hell, even my cat is second hand. My biggest sins (I think) are probably my tv and speaker as I haven’t found ethical/second hand versions. How about you?
Edit: Oh right, I also take a significant pay cut to work at a non profit so that more marginalized youth can go to University as so believe that’s the best anti poverty engine around.
What part of what you said is incorrect? All of it. For one example, trans people were not manipulated by the elites to seek to use the bathroom safely. Were MAGA asshats manipulated by the right-wing elites to care about trans people using the bathroom? Absolutely. And before that it was gay marriage. Since the beginning of this country, this is a tactic that has been used to divide the working class since Bacon’s Rebellion. It is very dumb to think that right wing shitheads who hate Muslims and don’t believe in climate change would agree to support Palestine and stop deforestation if we agree to let them torture trans children.
I am literally LOL-ing at your personal inventory of micro-contributions to the impoverished children of the world! But even then: You got a car so that you don’t have to risk your health on public transportation?!!! You know who can’t get a car to protect themselves from Covid? Palestinian Children! Even though you know that oil companies are destroying the global south and prop up fascist regimes all over the world, you give them money for your comfort and safety while the children die?
Do you see how ridiculous that kind of argument is?
“I don’t have a solution” No, you don’t. But even though you admit that, here you are just generally concern-trolling that maybe caving to fascists just a little on basic human rights for marginalized people is the key to dismantling the military industrial complex. Stop it. You are not helping.
ETA: Whoops! Just hit submit and I found another example of the people you think you might be able to win over if only SJW’s would stop yelling so much about pronouns! That’s two that appeared just while I was writing this comment. I can see now that you are right. If I hadn’t put pronouns in my bio, these people would have been great allies. My bad! Alabama GOP Bill Would Fire Board Of State Archives For Hosting Brief 2023 Lecture On State LGBTQ History.
ETA: Wow, if anything is true, it is that both my extreme intolerant wokeness and the people who - checks notes - banned the dictionary are equally unreasonable. Thank you for calling out both sides as gullible marks being duped by the elites. Thank goodness we have you here to push for a reasonable centrist position that will allow us to save the rainforest. Between you scolding wokeness online and wearing second-hand clothes, the future looks bright! Florida school district removes dictionaries from libraries, citing law championed by DeSantis

Oh hey, look what just popped up in my feed as I was typing this. These guys are completely on board with your plan. Can’t wait to see you negotiate the end to American imperialism with these goons: Florida Bill Would Classify Calling Someone Anti-LGBTQ, Racist, Or Sexist As “Constituting Defamation Per Se”
