Oh someone was talking Marxist ideology too. That was fun.

I feel like we need to tag team in a group of 10. Pass the baton and share the load 😄

Also, saying “I hate Nazis” is not “hate speech”.

And calling someone “racist” is not oppression.

Right - that’s me out and done with the Right Wingers for now.

That was a huge pile of stupid and I can’t believe … okay pet peeve but I seriously can’t believe how much people throw around the word Communism without the slightest idea of what it actually means. And It’s not hard to find out!

Thank you! I appreciate that!!! ♥️

So my day was peppered with interactions with right wingers, where I calmly explained how higher education works, and what hate speech actually is.

I need wine. Also props because I didn’t get upset or rise to their baiting.
