you never know what someone is going through. for instance i didnt know i was going through anything until about 2 years later. i thought i was just chilling
I donât think a lot of people understand that no matter how progressive or well-read you are, there are always going to be moments in your life where somebody pushes back against something thatâs so culturally ingrained you never even considered it before. And youâll say âHuh, it never occurred to me to challenge this but youâre right,â and that doesnât mean you were âmorally toxicâ before, it means youâre a non-omniscient human capable of growth.
Also, some preferred terms for things will change and evolve, and terms we prefer now might eventually be considered gauche or even offensive, and that doesnât mean you were a bigot at the time for using them. It means we evolved as a society and chose new terminology to reflect that change.
Nobody is a fully formed realisation of progressivism that can predict all shifts and modes of thought. The world will always change, and hopefully you will, too
