once you get over your ass and realise you will never get some people and that’s ok you are basically immune to right wing fearmongering. otherkin? none of my fucking business
Something doesn't have to affect you personally for it to be evil and need to be stopped, that's how allyship works.
A better way to look at it would be "is this harming anyone? It isn't? Who cares." (with the clear understanding that fighting back against oppression is self defence, not initiating harm)
100% agree. My comment was more about how much easier it would be for someone who isn’t moved by compassion to just not be a gaping asshole by going “not my issue.”
My personal feelings are that there are people I care about who have aspects to them I don’t understand and that doesn’t keep me from caring about them or believing they have the same rights as anyone else to live their lives in a way that expresses their complete selves. Attempts to harm them because of who they are are wrong and I will always fight against those who want to keep people from being their true selves.
Oh, I definitely get where you were coming from, and I agree, it seems like even the bare minimum is too big of an ask from some people, mine was more of a reminder that we really should be aiming for more (and not an implication that you don't, sorry if it came across that way).
All good, I didn’t take it that way. We should be expecting more than the bare minimum, but even the bare minimum would mean people I care about having safer lives.
