“Let’s lay it right on the line. Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today. But, unlike a team of costumed super-villains, they can’t be halted with a punch in the snoot, or a zap from a ray gun. The only way to destroy them is to expose them — to reveal them for the insidious evils they really are. The bigot is an unreasoning hater — one who hates blindly, fanatically, indiscriminately.” —Stan Lee, 1968

Forgiveness isn't something one is entitled to just for apologizing. Forgiveness has to be earned. Sometimes that can be easy--so easy it seems like apologizing _is_ all it takes--but other times it isn't. It depends on the circumstances, the people involved, whether or not it was an accident, how hard one tried to make amends, and how good the apology was in general ("I'm sorry you felt hurt by what I said," and apologies that try to solicit symathy for the apologizer aren't good attempts).

Hi, I'm Lexi! I'm a geeky nerd who's tired of the birdsite and its hate. Sorry for being a social media immigrant~

More about me:

🔹 I like cartoons and comic books. Also anime and manga, but I don't dispute that they're the same thing.
🔹 I like fantasy and science fiction. Star Wars is okay, but I prefer Star Trek.
🔹 Video games are neat, but I sorta grew out of them. Still like retro games!
🔹 Very pro-free speech, but even more pro-anti-harassment.

"People on the left are the real fascists."

I can't decide if they don't realize or don't care that this is the same as saying, "The left are the real right."

If the left are bad because they're the real right, then what are you? The real left? Could you bozos at least try to make sense?
