#I’m sure you’re helping the world soooo much by making your platform one of smug superiority and beating others down

I’m having a real uncomfy season where I realize a whole lot of online leftists with pretty big social platforms I used to follow don’t seem to really care about anything re: leftist values and really just thrive off being contrarian in the world’s most fucked form of Protestantism 2.0 where they just think they’re purer than all the other sinners around them.

Hot damn folks, unpack your religious trauma please. If your ideology isn’t based on helping people and making the world less shitty, you’re really not a leftist. You’ve just repackaged the concept of sin and are using it to beat people with the same way Christianity traumatized you.

#things that voicing will probably get me yelled at #text posts #but genuinely what’s the point in the hostility at other people who are just confused and hurting too #who are you helping by attacking random (let’s be real #largely kids #like yeah dude look at you being contrarian congrats you made a sixteen year old who asked you a genuine question cry #I’m soooo glad you’re proud of yourself for that #no I’m not naming names #yeah dude not being in to any fandoms is suuuuch a flex look at you declaring all media propaganda #I’m sure you’re helping the world soooo much by making your platform one of smug superiority and beating others down #media literacy my ass
