If you are a person protesting quarantine, you are the reason that this is going to last another several months. Stop being selfish, and just stay home.
Pain is relative. Just because something doesn’t hurt you in particular, doesn’t mean that it can’t hurt someone else. Don’t tell them that ‘somebody else has it worse.’ That doesn’t help them. Be respectful of their situations.
Your political opinions do define who you are.
Republicans aim to take away the rights of women (regarding rape, abortion, etc), LGBT+ people (regarding conversion therapy, banning transgender people from the military, banning gay couples from adopting, etc), and everyone who doesn’t share their views.
Democrats do the opposite, supporting abortion and LGBT+ movements.
Which side do you want to be on?
J.K Rowling’s blatant transphobia doesn’t accomplish anything but the spread of false information and predjudices. The Harry Potter franchise deserves better, frankly.
Hating someone who’s part of a minority (LGBT+, religion, race) is fine, hating someone because they’re a part of a minority is not. Important distinction.
The primary reason behind the common American backing Ukraine instead of Palestine is the United States government’s relationship with the offending nation.
If the US interacted with Israel the way it interacts with Russia, there would have been immediate calls to end this genocide as well as stronger humanitarian aid given to the people of Gaza.
Remember to be weary of propaganda when you’re consuming media related to this crisis. The people of Palestine have been calling for help for decades - Israel is committing genocide. And we are doing nothing.
Nobody should ever have to fear public officers because of their race. That’s fucking insanity.
Jokes about rape, racist jokes, sexist jokes, ‘did you just assume my gender’ jokes, jokes about nazi’s, jokes about suicide, jokes about ‘triggers’ are going to upset people. I’m sorry, but it’s true. And if you aren’t comfortable with those types of jokes, say something. If they’re a good person, they’ll stop. If not, leave ‘em. If someone doesn’t like the jokes you’re making, stop. Respect people, please.
The existence of LGBTQ+ people is not harming you in any way. Same-sex couples dating and getting married does not harm you, nor does it involve you. Don’t attempt to diminish the freedom of other innocent people simply because you’re homophobic. The LGBTQ+ community has experienced more pain and disrespect than many cisgender heterosexual people can relate to. From conversion therapy, to being fired due to your orientation, to being bullied and harassed daily because of who you are, the community has been through a lot. Regardless of your beliefs and opinions, please just leave LGBTQ+ people alone. The way they live their lives does not include you, and they are just as deserving of respect as any cisgender heterosexual person.
If you are against animal cruelty (which any decent human is) than you should be a vegan. The means that the human race uses to kill farm animals for food is inhumane. Look at any picture of a slaughterhouse, you’ll understand.
You are not required to share the opinions of everyone you meet, but you are required to respect those opinions.
Unless their opinions disrespect people. Than you can disrespect them all you want.
