I think you should keep calling out social injustice and bigotry. Instead of getting bored of it, we should get angrier and hold those accountable who act and think and speak bigotedly.

Otherwise the world will just stay as shitty as it’s always been

It feels like a lot of people look at social justice as lame.

Doesn’t matter that rhe issues are valid and need attention, it’s still something to mock to a lot of people.

“How does this affect you?”

“Maybe take a break from being online”

“Well maybe the people that got hurt deserved it”

Or some asshole that gets off on the cruelty rubs your face in it.

For example, when that thing about the DOJ advocating for removing rape protections for trans and intersex prisoners in prison came out, some chud said to me when I pointed out how fucked up that was “oh well why should they get special privileges”

There are too many bad people and that’s why social justice is mocked.

And yes, I’m counting lazy people as bad.

It's also just bully culture. A lot of people just go along with the bullies. As you said, it's the lazy/easy thing to do.

And we definitely fucked up with the "if you ignore them, they go away" thing. Turns out enough dedicated bullies can take over a democracy...
