I know I’m not in trouble, but I do feel bad that I’m probably the reason blahaj.zone will defederate with hexbear. I just thought they had an insane take on what hexbear was and posted it in the_dunk_tank. I included a link because I am not a LIB

but also I am a LIB and so are all of you and I’m sorry for that as well.

    I think it’s the inverse of conservatives who believe they aren’t racist while doing, saying, and believing racist things. They were provided a liberal (in the classical ideological sense) education that told them racism is bad but didn’t delve too deeply into self criticism. So now conservatives and liberals know racism is bad, but not really how to understand or identify it. So you get conservatives who steadfastly believe they aren’t racist because they don’t think they’re bad, and liberals who label things they don’t like as racist because it’s one of the most bad things they can think of.

      I agree, it seems like a lot of liberals have the attitude of "I can’t be racist, because I’m not

      But they still have the attitude that racism is an individual problem, “A few bad apples” rather than a systemic one. So when they see individuals here doing they conclude that those people must be racist against whites.
