I haven't seen this kind of scratched liberalism since the outrage against account pronoun preferences years back.

Maybe "struggle session" is the wrong term because there's a clear and obvious side for comrades and another for scratched liberals.

Maybe Hexbear needs occasional flypaper sessions for the community's health.

yea my appearance is very much "basic white guy" jeans, T-shirt, and flannel most of the time. I've been talking to guys that I've worked with for months, long enough for me to start thinking "ok, sure maybe they're your average"nonpolitical" guys who don't bother with politics because they think it doesn't really affect them, maybe I can push some union ideas, stuff like that", then they heard something on the radio and start ranting about "alphabet people" and "groomers" all while my bi ass is standing there :im-in-danger: and I start thinking about a career change
