I mean, my input was that I think it’s shitty to suggest that things are complete solutions to any societal issue when it requires ignoring massive swathes of the total population.
I think it’s shitty when it comes up to double down and say those people don’t matter.
I think it’s shitty to say “well they chose that so fuck em”
Like, can you imagine saying “fuck people in Flint MI, they want safe drinking water they shouldn’t live in Flint, they chose this.”
Yeah, but that was the point you made after someone responded to your initial comment, and has literally no bearing on the discussion at hand. Except in a “but all lives matter” kind of way.
The irony here is that saying “Black Lives Matter” roots out who secretly hate about 20 percent of the population. They hear it and they just can’t keep their mouths shut, right?
I’M the one in your analogy saying Black Lives Matter. I’M the one saying that there is a minority group worthy of consideration. Everyone tripping over themselves to explain to me why rural people amount to, and I quote “a rounding error” are the people who are behaving like bigots.
So… you just wanted to be heard, but had no actual input to give?
