I’ve always struggled to see the upside to celebrating any sort of heritage
And I’ve always struggled to see the upside to celebrating the community team or whatever, but that doesn’t make my opinion more rational, valuable, or human than anyone else’s.
folk can be happy about whatever, I guess, as long as they’re not denigrating others.
“Whatever” “I guess”… These words aren’t in here by accident, but this overall sentiment is the one actually worth pursuing IMO without all of the passive aggression.
You and the Aussie don’t seem to understand that you’re advancing Musk’s (and other racists’) “arguments” by equating overwhelmingly positive movements with reactionary, retrograde movements that use co-opted words and rhetorical tricks to pretend they’re the same thing.
Can a gay person who has never experienced homophobia rightfully celebrate Pride Month?
Can a black person who was adopted by white parents and has no black cultural influence be proud of being black?
Edit: ya ever wonder why you’re talking about legitimate events for black people and gay people in a thread commenting about Elon Musk’s endorsement of “white pride”? It’s because you got "all lives matter"ed and lost the fucking plot.

Those are my quotes.
I stopped conversing with them after they misquoted me after replacing “rightfully” with “morally”.
Don’t waste your time trying to change their mind, they’ve already decided you’re the one who’s wrong.
The worst part is we’re evidently all on the same team, yet we’re made out to be Elon supporters.
