the fucking worst is when people are like “you hate people for having a different opinion than you!!!!” like im not shitting on this guy because he thinks pistachio ice cream is gross im shitting on him because he actually believes that i and people like me dont deserve basic human rights and respect and safety
Respect isn’t a basic human right. Neither is safety. The world is a disrespectful dangerous place and to ignore the enduring reality of that is so. …incredible.
Your profile lists you as Christian. If you don’t think treating other people with respect and kindness, even strangers and people who have not only done nothing for you but have no power to do anything for you, is a good idea, then you might be in for a rude awakening down the line.
Yo nugspugs, your statement basically boils down to “The world isn’t inherently good and just, and therefor no one should ever try to encourage the existence of goodness or justice.”
I want to share a quote with you:
“Westerners are fond of the saying ‘Life isn’t fair.’ Then, they end in snide triumphant: ‘So get used to it!’
What a cruel, sadistic notion to revel in! What a terrible,
patriarchal response to a child’s budding sense of ethics. Announce to
an Iroquois, ‘Life isn’t fair,’ and her response will be: ‘Then make it
fair!’ This is the matriarchal approach to learning.”
-Barbara Alice Mann, Iroquois woman
And a basic observation: in my personal experience, the people who are most invested in saying that the world is a disrespectful dangerous place are the ones who are making it that way.
