It’s about damn time these fuckers learned that they don’t get just parade around in their faux gestapo getups without someone showing them what’s what.

“I thought I could come in and harass queers and threaten to kill them in peace!”
You really thought people were going to just let you come in and spout your hateful nonsense without any backlash? The audacity! That’s a lifetime of unchecked privilege at play. I’m sometimes afraid to even leave my house while existing as a trans woman, and you thought you could just gamet away with this?
Talk shit, get hit.
Idk man I think when you’re dealing with Nazis maybe violence is the answer
i can’t remember who said it but i think this is summed up well by “tolerance is a social contract and covers only those who abide by it”

This is one of the most profound statements on leadership I’ve encountered in a long time, and it really landed a hit on me. It’s difficult to discuss without getting a little weird about it, but for a long time I’ve been of the mind that the privilege of having a large readership implies the duty of giving back in specific ways – I just never thought of it in terms of leadership as submission to duty.
