    You can find tons of those liberal mixtures. In college, I knew several trans people who were pretty racist and loved the confederate flag. I knew several white feminists that will talk your ear down on how they were oppressed, but would then talk about how black people are criminals and black men being around doesn’t make them feel safe. And I met tons of gays racist as well.

    College literally made me realize that just because one person belongs to a marginalized group doesn’t mean that they cant been huge assholes and liberals in other ways against other marginalized groups.

    Edit: I am black and they would talk to me because I was “one of the good ones”

      Yeah, this was what I learned making the switch from Twitter to open source social media a few years back. Twitter was becoming worse & worse specifically with harassment campaigns by white queers against Black queers so I ended up trying to find a better space that was more open to talking about racism. I thought I was fine if I found a specifically LGBTQ server but most of them have huge racism problems. The only corner I found is mostly Black & they are constantly being accused of shit, being called unreasonable or aggressive, etc by white queers. I also noticed they have a lot of ableism in those spaces. I usually see them parroting State Dept talking points too.

      Local Discord banned me & called me a Nazi for defending Hamas lol. It’s everywhere.
