You know what I’m sick of? People and pundits who blame, and constantly flog, the left for the atrocities of the right? I hear almost daily: “Well, the left isn’t giving these people (whomever they are) a viable alternative”. How about instead, saying something like “The right are being complete and utter assholes about humanity”?
And the majority I’m talking about are left-leaning pundits.
The one I’m hearing about a lot right now are young men. Instead of calling out over and over and over again the toxic shit that is being spewed out of every right-wing mouth they can find, all I hear is about how the left is not doing enough. What enough means, who knows?
Look, I get that the left needs to come up with alternatives on these topics. Young mean. Masculinity. Trans rigihts. Gay rights. Civil rights. Protecting black and brown peoples. I really do. And I agree with that 100%. But can’t we all agree, and say it out lound with our meat mouths again and again and again, that the right’s views on people who are NOT straight, white men are absolutely atrocuious?
Please.
Just once.
For the love of whatever god or non-god you pray to.
