Absolutely not, at least not online. People do not accept apologies, they will brand you based on that action, no matter how much you apologize. I mean, just look at some big example like pewdiepie who had a few (admittedly tasteless) moments in 2017, apologized for it multiple times but is still framed as nazi to this day.
apologies don’t mean you’re sorry… people that express a sincere point of view, are called out on their shit take, and then apologise to save face are still pieces of shit: they didn’t apologise because they realised the things they said were wrong; they apologised because they got called out and want to fix it
i’m not saying that apologies from public figures can’t be sincere, but the bar is pretty damn high because what they stand to lose by not apologising is so large that people tend to take a hit to their ego - saying something they don’t mean - rather than express their true feelings
nope i’m saying that every apology is not equivalent… simply saying you’re sorry isn’t enough… they need to have learned their mistake, not just that they got hurt and wish they didn’t
hey mate i ain’t sayin i have the answers - im just sayin yall better work something out because otherwise you’re all fucked and you’re just in for trump after trump after trump

So you want people to apologize, but don’t believe them when they do?
nope i’m saying that every apology is not equivalent… simply saying you’re sorry isn’t enough… they need to have learned their mistake, not just that they got hurt and wish they didn’t
And who’s the judge of apologies? Who determines which apology is enough? How can you tell they haven’t learned?
