    Charlie Kirk tweet:

    24 years ago a group of Muslims killed 2,753 people on 9/11

    Now a Muslim Socialist is on pace to run New York City

    I know this is not what he intends because he’s a fascist bigot, but I read this almost like a positive endorsement.

    Enough healing has occurred for an entire city to start putting aside all the reactionary islamophobia that used to be rife after 9/11 when I was younger.

      There’s a flaw in your logic, here. Mentally stable evil people would/did. I’m NOT mentally stable and I absolutely never would.

        Yeah I hate when people try to just say that political opinions they don’t agree with are signs of “mental illness”.

        It just stigmatises mental illness.

      They often do, because they lack the courage to show the world their inner ugliness. Only through code and situational implication can they allude to what they hide away.
      They’re in the closet. It’s a beige closet painted with a cheap sprayer, using bottom tier paint from a big box store. If it had wooden shelves, trim, or hardwood floors, they ripped it out and put up those flimsy wire shelves and that gray plastic faux-wood flooring. It’s a shitty closet, but it’s their closet. That is their soul, and where they feel the most comfortable being their true selves.
