As an able-bodied neurotypical 30-something straight white cis male with a suburban middle class upbringing and an office job, I don’t participate in identity politics.

I’ve had a conservative say essentially that to me but with a straight face. He was also convinced that white, cishet meat eater men are the most oppressed minority (literally what he said).

Parodying conservative opinions is completely impossible nowadays; any quip anybody can come up with will be an actual conservative opinion, pretty much no matter how ridiculously stupid it is.

My sibling’s delightful ex-roommate–a conservative, 20something, middle-class, cishet white man–said that he feels very oppressed in their college town! He’s always scared of saying what he thinks bc then everyone will think of him badly! Literally the most oppressed! (His actual words)

Better not use cars or computers either, if you’re basing your entire life around whether or not an invention’s creator believes the same things as you.

Yes because it’s literally impossible to not use some services or products because you don’t want to support their makers, because for some reason that means you can’t use anything else either.

I’ve got a sneaking suspicion you just don’t like people disagreeing with views that you share

normally i don’t argue with randos on the internet but i typed this up elsewhere and figured it could fit here, not for your sake, but for the benefit of other users, so…

do the people who’re saying shit like “well do you not drive cars either because the auto industry is unethical” seriously not realize that contributing to free and open source software is involving yourself in a COMMUNITY? like that i’m warning people to steer clear of a shitty social space that’s been known to be hostile to our kind in the past??? i’m not just doing this for ragebait engagement farming lmao

Wow I can’t believe the tech bro that insists on using only Twitter + Discord for his app is a total douche.

Yes, sink a valuable Free software because they won’t accept something you and I believe in.

It’s incredibly selfish and stupid.
