LOL I am out of microblog memes, seems like too many people here (for my taste at least) coming up with excuses to entirely forgive crimes no matter the context.
When you're bootlicking, do you prefer the texture or taste of the boot? Or do you like both equally? Genuinely curious
It's amazing how ironic and reactionary this is :)
So it's really more about the humiliation. Gotcha. Well, I don't kinkshame, so you do you lol
PS: i did call someone a bootlicker recently after their unwavaring support for Zionism and after about 3-4 months into discussions with them after they showed blind loyalty to Israel (a country they are not even from)
But you are calling me a "bootlicker" for refusing to "break Nazi's arms unprovoked and at random encounters to 'keep the community clean'" and because I suggested that inflicting trauma on Nazis might cause them to be even more radicalized and cause more harm to the world... or in the case of this post here, you are calling me a bootlicker for wanting to report people who don't even look poor to the police for robbing my local grocery store... dude. These absolutes are so fucking dumb... "I will report all thefts no matter what" is just bad as an absolute as "I will not report any".
The only two people in my life who were actively shoplifting never needed to. They did it to "game the system". I should of course not take this personal experience and derive sweeping conclusions from it. What people need is proper social wellfare so that they never have to shoplift and you never have to make a point about not reporting them.
Anyway, what I'm saying is that you'd be better off not being reactionary in your responses. I don't know you, you don't know me, but I think of you did, you wouldn't call me a bootlicker or whatever else.
Both sides bad hurrdurrrrduhhhh 🤡
Only if you consider '"both sides" to be pushed all the way to the extreme, I guess.
Then I am definetely in the wrong place.
That's the point of microblogging. You don't have to think about what you're upvoting for any longer than it takes to read a sentence.
