    I believe they took offense, leading them to act uncharacteristically. I firmly believe that they are a good person. Weighing someone unaccustomed to being in the middle of an argument, while they feel unsafe, certainly isn’t fair to them.

    And make no mistake, 9999 times out of 10000, they’d be right to take some amount of offense. Their chosen verbiage just triggered a landmine.

    But thank you, it’s kind of you to affirm that I’m not 200% dead puppies all the time!

      It’s completely in character for me to challenge fascists when I see them. You people seriously have to develop a more nuanced understanding of yourselves. Just because you know something is wrong without knowing why, doesnt mean you’ve stopped doing the wrong thing. Good people aren’t just people who are lucky enough to not make bad decisions, it’s about fostering the discipline and accountability to interrogate your actions and challenge their underlying harmful values; you clearly have not done that work.
