So what you're saying is, because people can google up how to think like you, you're justified in not actually trying to convince them why you're right?

Seems to me like in that situation you're basically taking all the credit for everyone else actually making an effort to advance the causes you're so fond of, while you sit on your goddamn ass.

Nah my existence as a neurodivergent non binary sex worker is pretty revolutionary, while you sit in your moms attic and debate about esports, I'm pretty sure I'm the clear winner here

So your rationale is that you're a fantastic, progressive political leader, because despite not engaging in any actually progressive or political work, you represent several minorities within which other people do the hard work you don't. Got it.

Then why say anything at all if you're not actually trying to change anybody's mind? What are you actually trying accomplish?

I fail to see how engaging in attention seeking behavior by constantly telling everybody who will listen about things you probably made up in your own head in the first place is revolutionary.

I never said I'm not trying to change anyone's mind - it's more that I'm not willing to argue with people who remain willfully ignorant on any given subject. Furthermore, I refuse to spend my time educating someone on an issue they don't know anything about in order to argue with them.. it's the age of information and I think it's the duty of individuals at large (circumstantial, of course) to utilize the resources available to them.

I'm talking day-to-day arguments here, btw, I exert a minimal amount of energy arguing ethics and lgbtq+ issues with your average forum-goer, I save that for my career in academia. However, like I said, I do revel in calling people out for being *******s.

Do you have any links that I could use to educate myself further about your position?

Pretty much what I expected you to post.

Here though. It's a blog I read semi-frequently.

Sperglord Superstar Luka & The ***got Brigade

Welcome to the blog of Luka Delaney, author of Webcomic "Kagerou". She likes homestuck and fun things, and really dislikes people co-opting the trappings of genuine social causes in order to trivialise them for their own benefit. While not related to the discussion at hand, I find it pretty interesting in its own right. And her comic is very good, if decidedly twisted.
