    To break up the echo chamber. To me, silence is acceptance and downvoting their posts as I scroll by doesn’t feel like enough.

      You’re throwing a bleach wipe into a portopotty. Is it really making that pile of shit any cleaner?

      silence is acceptance

      Just please be kind to yourself. It’s not your job to fix the world and everyone in it, and there’s too many asshats out there for you to be able to.

      Also, please be kind to others. There are a lot of people in the world against this bullshit who are too busy with necessities to spend time arguing with internet ghouls, or too tired with everything else in their lives. Everyone has their own struggles and has to pick and choose the battles they can fight.

      Silence definitely aids the spread of reprehensible beliefs, but it’s absolutely not the same as outright acceptance ir agreement. There’s just not enough time in life to debate every fucking chud out there.
