I wouldn’t say “preach” but I do have conservative friends that openly tell me that being gay or trans is wrong. (I’m trans, and they know this). I’d love it if they kept that shit in the privacy of their own homes
To be fair it rarely comes up, and they’re not really judging me over it. It’s just shit like complaining about pronouns. Or if we’re talking about religion they’re usually pretty clear that they don’t think I’m disgusting or anything, they’re just holding to what they think is biblical.
But it does kinda feel bad knowing that they’d vote away my right to HRT in a heartbeat
Or maybe realize that the human race is on a collision course with a hot, chaotic destiny in the form of climate change coupled with economic collapse. Maybe it’s time to solidify our networks instead of silently praying the ‘other’ changes or dies?
To be fair, subsidies aren’t really Socialism. Socialism is more about who owns the Means of Production than it is who gets the benefits from the state.

I don’t have Muslim friends who preach for all out jihad and the destruction of American democracy.
I don’t have conservative friends who preach for all out insurrection and the destruction of American democracy.
Some choices aren’t difficult.

These people aren’t actually your friends

Some kind of friend, huh
America has democracy??
Officially.
Allegedly
It’s a Republic because the wealthy knew the people would get it wrong and they needed representative government rather than democracy
Ostensibly. On paper.
Not only does it have democracy, it also has socialism! You just have to be ultra rich or a mega corporation.
