This post is a fantastic example of why you should never ever let the most Virtuous® people on the internet dictate political action because then you end up with a bunch of Noble Takes and no democracy they literally do not consider me to be human so I think I'll keep mocking them, Stan, but thanks

Also, "weird" isn't dehumanizing. It's poking at an insecurity.

It is okay to otherize Nazis! If Nazis aren’t the Other, I’m pretty sure that means you’re sitting in a Nazi bar right now!

Tolerance and inclusion are a social contract, not a death cult oath. I'm gonna keep mocking the Nazis and people who think my friends and family shouldn't exist

It sounds more like panicked conservatives pretending to be Centrists™ who are trying to shout the left's successful tactic into submission. When directly confronting the issue with their party won't work, there's always gaslighting and ratfucking.

Yes. Especially since "weird" isn't dehumanizing; we know there are weird people out there. We even make the distinction between "good weird" (has quirky hobby, unfamiliar haircut, werewolf boyfriend) and "bad weird" (obsessed with other people's genitals, wants to control what you may read).

yeah there's a very wide chasm between calling all Black and Brown people murderers and rapists and calling a bunch of people who want to track your ovulation weird especially since only one of those things is objectively true
