i had been vaguely aware of the concept of a homophobe for a while, and had basically just accepted it as a fact.
but then they rolled out transphobe,
and then it clicked, like, oh thats the playbook.
and its really insidious.
for example,
instead of saying that 1 person is mentally ill, and needs professional help,
we now say 99 people are mentally ill christofascist nazis, and should be ashamed of themselves, and relegated to re-education camps
did you know, that according to reddit TOS, it is considered hate speech to express disgust toward anyone else's sexual activities, and you can can be suspended for it.

Peoples aren’t going to let this go on much longer
the solution isn't to complain about the old,
but to invest in building up the new.
Amen 👊🏼
