    Its working real well in America right now… Almost like being a prick to people for “great fun” had negative consequences or something… But lets imagine someone said “Making the gays uncomfortable is great fun. :D”… That would be bigotry, right? Yet for some weird reason, you feel totally fine and safe to say something like that… How odd…

      Get back to me when straight people start facing systematic oppression. Until then, kindly go fuck yourself.

      “They called me a fascist bigot, so I had to start acting like one!” is the argument you’re accidentally making here.

        Yeah, thats pretty much how it works. If you treat people like theyre pieces of shit long enough, they start acting like pieces of shit. Its fucking basic psychology.

        If everyone calls you a dick for long enough, it will chip away at your self esteem. Eventually, in order to try to improve your situation, you’ll reach out to something bigger than your self. Thats happens every single day for things MUCH less than treating people like they are fascists. For most people, the thing they reach out for is a football team or something like that. But for others, it can be something much worse. Like race, or religion, of political parties. People often ask “How is racism still a thing?” Well, this is how. Low self esteem. And it happens every day with out the help of fuckwits like the guy I responded to, who has clearly already made their choice to be a bigot.

        Theres never any excuse to hate a person because of their skin colour, their sex/gender, or who they love. And if youre trying to make an excuse, you might not be the hero of the story you think you are.

            Or perhaps, its fucking text book? Christ, pick up a book and actually read it sometime, instead of just getting all your information from facebook.
