What the heck are you even commenting in about? Is the sports post i reblogged? Because I honestly have 0 clue towards what you are sitting here accusing of me stating when number 1) you got 0 proof of me ever commenting such rude words at Asian folks at all, number 2) ...where?? I know you are upset but like chill down, think before you send an ask to a person, cause at the end of it all you just made yourself look like a rude crazy person...

But if it is about those obvious biological grown men competing at a woman's athletic running race - ...this is laughable ideology that your community has, that it's just sad that you cannot tell the difference between a female and a male...yet (again if this is about that) you want to sit here well I don't know if it's you that preaches that type of woke nonsensical comments, that are basically feminist ideologies...uh you tell everyone that you don't like men, you want to have jobs men have, showing your sexism yet you do a whole 380 to defend them....grown men that say they are a sex they weren't born in at all..

Hypocrites, really and confusing people too. Finally by your definition of me not agreeing to whatever strawman argument you made here I am a murder? But how?....again how??? Did I kill a person by not agreeing with an insane illogical opinion(ideology) here?? That is really...scary if I caused genocide over me commenting a simple word...I suppose the real definition of that word doesn't exist anymore in your eyes buddy. Yet let me ask you this question; who's the genocidely nut job here, you who wants men to cease to exist, want men to chop off their private area, want to demasculate them - strip their biological hormones that makes them who they are, and want them to identify as a woman to please your sick perverse narrative that has lead these poor men to committing suicide...- you guys don't talk about the obvious truth that - that's what happens because you don't care and are sick minded yourselves..

Another wonderful commission completed for @Karrius 

Abusive, evil people have no right to call themselves Christians. And even if they are “the vast majority” (which. I’m pretty sure they are not.), that doesn’t mean they get to set the standard for what true Christianity is.

I don’t define what “real Christianity” is; the Bible does. Christians are supposed to strive to be like Him. None of us are perfect, but we can’t be abusive and genuinely hateful toward people but then be like “Oh it’s fine I can do this because I’M a ChRiStIaN and therefore above everyone else so God will forgive me”

No. That’s not how it works.

Christians, real Christians, are people who follow Christ’s example.

I PERSONALLY wondered where you got the numbers from, because I looked up “Catholic Church 12 million dollars sexual predators” and found stories about various churches paying 12 million in settlements regarding sexual abuse and not much else. 

I’m also PERSONALLY not sure this counts as an actual discussion since you came in right off the bat trying to hold me accountable for what other people allegedly did, but you didn’t come in here on anon and tell me to kill myself so you’ve got that going for you.

Anyway, grab a source if you’re interested and we can go from there.

Bold words from someone who belongs to a cult thats rate of pedophilia compared to normal people is 10x higher at best, and 125x highee according to some of their own numbers. Refusal to take responsibility, blaming your own actions on other people... How very catholic of you.

It's not random Catholics fault, that the Church assigns Predators to high ranking positions though. Literally every Catholic is aware of this and calls it out! Looks like you never actually met a real Catholic though otherwise you would know how we think about this issue! 

I didn’t. I rarely go on Twitter and The Daily Kos blog is not a news source I read often. I was able to find his tweet, and I agree that’s a concern. I hope it was meant as a joke in poor taste about how blatantly and frequently Trump lied to the public and not an intention. I know news outlets of record did fact check Biden consistently throughout the debates, and historically have fact-checked politicians regardless of political party. While I would not, perhaps, extrapolate to the entire millions of people who identify as liberal from a single tweet from a single person, I again agree this is concerning and would prefer people not even joke about it. Twitter is not a good place for reasoned and nuanced political discussion, but even within the limitations it would have been much wiser for him to tweet something along the lines of “so nice to fact check a politician’s speech and not have to call out ten different lies in a single paragraph”.

As for the Lyft and Uber members on the board, that’s also a concern. The California Democratic party opposed proposition 22, which gives Uber and Lyft a concerning amount of power over employees. News articles from mainstream/politically neutral sources such as Reuters have meanwhile pointed out that Biden’s tech transition team includes a large number of tech companies and not as many critics thereof . As mentioned I don’t spend much time if any on Twitter; I’m sure there are disagreements, and I hope you are able to look at a large number of people to see the multiple views present within. I don’t know your exact leftist positions, but I think we can agree that leftism includes a wide number of views - socialism, communism, left-anarchists, all which branch out even further into subdivisions like Marxism or anarcho-primitivism - and that the views of some do not necessarily represent the positions of all.

You seem extremely angry. I can understand that. I remember how I felt in the 2016 election, seeing Trump supporters celebrate what felt like an unlivable loss to me - one that I’m still angry about, and will remain angry about probably for the rest of my life.

I think a lot of people felt angry in a similar way, and I think many of them voted for Biden for that reason. It sounds as though you still feel this unlivable anger - but it sounds like you feel it before Biden has even taken office - less than five days after he was declared president-elect. I suspect you didn’t have any hope that this election would improve things, even slightly, and that sounds like a very depressing place to be.

What I will say, though, is I didn’t message Trump supporters, or search for them on Twitter. I did not, for the most part, spend all my time online jumping on every statement as proof that things would never get better. I looked for ways to mobilize and bring about the change I wanted. And I recognize the way I want to change things - both the results and the method - are probably not the same as yours. I likely want to drastically reform systems you would prefer be torn down entirely. I tend to work through existing avenues of political engagement and peaceful protest, and you may prefer violent revolution. But I think we (both you and I, and more broadly liberals and leftists) both want considerable change, and in many cases in the same direction: that no one goes hungry, or is killed, harmed, or otherwise made unsafe because of their race, gender, sexuality, ability, age, or religion. That there is more to life than working until we die. That the environment is not ruined by humanity’s actions.

I wonder how you hope to accomplish these things.

Right now, liberals - and some leftists (I usually try to distinguish between leftists who do things in the real world and what I call ‘online/very online’ leftists, as a lot of leftist activists participate in elections and protests) have not given up on fighting for what they want. Phone bank slots have filled up for the Georgia runoffs, people are pouring money into causes they support, whether it’s funds for native populations seriously affected by COVID, or abortion access networks, and BLM protests have continued as they have for months. I hope you are not mistaking the first breath many have taken in four years for apathy, and that you allow the people you see as allies the same time to rest amongst the action.

It sounds as though you have given up on anything changing within a week of the mere promise of future change, and that you are looking for ways to feel that pain more online.

Maybe you’re not. Maybe you are taking the time in between the real-world actions you take towards revolution to both extensively check Twitter and Tumblr and send this. Maybe you’ve tried to change hearts and minds all day and have decided I am the one person who you will give up on. I doubt it, but it’s possible, and if that’s the case, this is a long answer and you’ve probably stopped reading. But if you are refreshing Twitter and despairing in an endless loop and are angry at everyone I hope you can get help, and that things get better for you, and you find an outlet for that anger in a way that helps the people you care about.
