What a fucking ignorant thing to say. Fuck you. Because I live in the same state as a bunch of bigots you're saying I should suffer? "That was the time for righteous anger"? I've been righteously angry for over a fucking decade. Seriously. Fuck. You. Fuck you for saying this stupid, ignorant bullshit. Fuck you on behalf of every trans person born into a red state facing discrimination, harassment, assault, and murder. Fuck you on behalf of every queer person forced to go to conversion therapy because they're born to conservative parents in a red state. Fuck you.

Hey, fuck them.
Don't let others ideas of who is part of their in group and who can be excluded get to your empathy. I am glad you have it even if you don't see it from anyone else today ( and hopefully I am wrong and you see lots). For every person you give comfort to today for being a good person in a bad place I thank you on their behalf even if they don't.

Here in California we have more racist rednecks than several red states combined, they're just outnumbered. State borders have nothing to do with where the actual split is, rural vs. urban.

If only you could spend a portion of this emotions on fight or flight. But alas.
But hey, not throwing stones here, I myself was born in Russia of all places, and I also spent first half of my life thinking that being angry online and trying to convince fellow countrymen that fascism isn't great actually will do something. You're only learning what "collective guilt" means, I was born with it, molded by it.

Jesus Christ are you an arrogant son of a bitch. You literally push defeatism and nihilism on everyone while screaming at them for not resisting Fascism. Meanwhile, you ran away from your own country like a Coward and let Putin steal it from you. Your absolutely pathetic and nobody should be listening to you.

It's almost funny how the second you encounter a critique you get defensively angry. You should talk about it with a therapist.

Pretty weak rebuttal bro. You have no points (let alone any values) to stand on and so you have to try to psychoanalyze me like some 13 year old kid on YouTube. Your so full of shit it's hilarious. Your just a little bitch who ran from your own country when it got tough and now you want to laugh at people dying here because you didnt get your little handout. I have nothing more to say to evil scum like you. I am so glad you never made it into my country, because people like you are the reason why things got so bad in the first place. Good riddance and don't come back.
