the issue with hating bigots more than you care about minorities is that it becomes abhorrent to acknowledge that you could do a bigoted thing. so you spend all your time avoiding being called a bigot, lashing out at people who call you out and desperately convincing yourself that they're wrong, and none of your time not being a bigot

#i'm thinking about antisemitism but this is also about racism ableism and transphobia #specifically inspired by a few people i see who love jews saying antizionism isnt antisemitism #(which is true)#but who also absolutely live and breathe antisemitic tropes and talking points #i see a lot of trans women and people of color talking about how self declared progressive spaces are often v transmisogynistic and racist #and the same principle applies #there's a common assumption (even among progressive jews) that #while israel is commiting genocide there's no space for our voices & we need to stay in our lane #the purpose of this idea is to shut us up.
