One time it wasn't a bigot, but an old guy taking creepshots of college girls on the light rail

Edit: If you're going to argue against my meme, then why don't you tell me what you expect me to do when I see someone hurling epithets and slurs against brown people or trans people, or homophobes calling me a "faggot" and spitting at me? Just sit there on my hands like a useless log?

And moreover, if you've come here from other instances for the sole purpose of calling me names, I'm going to report that shit and message your instance admins. There is NOTHING about my post or comments that is attacking or insulting anyone, unless you're a creep or a bigot.

I'm not going to sit idly by while others cause harm.

Remember to always stand up for what's right. Ignore the ignorant people who tell you not to. They're part of the problem.

No, it doesn't.

Imagine if I post a picture of a BLM protest, saying I support it, and you reply by telling me if I support this protest, then I must also support white nationalist protests as well.

That's what you're doing here, and it's quite baffling that you can't seem to grasp this.

I believe in taking direct action against things that are harmful and oppressive, such as bigots. That's ... not really a controversial statement to make. It's like saying we should punch Nazis. "Aha but now you need to punch everyone!" Uhhh ... no. This leap you've made is quite irreconcilable with what I've communicated in my post and comments. It has some real "all lives matter" energy.
