in ~2020 i got mass twitter mobbed because someone dug up an old tweet where I was arguing with a racist. In arguing, I referenced a quote of him that I disagreed with. In that quote, he used the n-word. But because I quoted it without censoring it, they dogpiled me as a racist.

The left dont hate you, they just think you're a moron wherever you pedal right wing horse poo. Outside of that, they love you. They value an authentic woman who speaks their mind, they'll just give you valid criticism worth contemplating whenever you slip up.

I've always been in between both political parties. Both the right and the left hate me. I'm a sex worker, but I've personally been the target of a bunch mass cancellation attempts by the left during the woke wars. I thought the BLM protests were kinda dumb (based on a factually incorrect premise), I think most people protesting Gaza are people who suspiciously seem to not care about other human rights violations, some worse and better documented. It's one thing when dumb leftist mobs make false, easily disprovable claims. It's another thing when the current administration does it. I have WAY higher standards for the people in positions of physical force over us, the people who control the military. The current administration appears to be hacking away at some of the things I thought everyone found sacred - our rights, our freedoms, and in some cases the process of democracy itself. I dismissed a lot of the early fears around this because they came from leftist factions who were hysterical about extremely stupid or false things, but I am increasingly horrified to find out that on this specific topic they unfortunately were right. We've moved past this being a normal left vs right issue - this is now entering the kind of territory that both left and right should agree is too far. We need our battlegrounds fair, our use of force measures, our leaders trustworthy. Even if we disagree with them hugely there should be some level of integrity. For example I think Mamdani is economically insane and will destroy prosperity in NY if given the chance and my heart breaks for the city - but he still plays fair, and as far as I can tell hasn't behaved in unethical or dishonest ways. I want the right to have a better leader, and I want the right to recognize they need a better leader, one that can fight illegal immigration and protect gun rights and keep taxes low and still, also, be a good person who takes the institution of government to be sacred. Otherwise the right will fail in the long term. This is not a winning strategy.

ok the more i learn about history, the more i realize that everyone has always been retarded. u think we're ruled by retards now but actually we are in a local blip of relative non-tardation, and this is a bizarre historical anomaly

Years ago I was on a flight to Saudi Arabia; nearly all the women boarded with heads uncovered, modern clothes; then during the flight one by one they went to the bathroom and emerged in niqabs. I don't think that would happen in a world where women weren't pressured by culture

Muslim women don’t “choose” the hijab. They’re either conditioned into it or pressured into it. When I was five, my mother begged my father for one day, one day, to go out without the hijab. He agreed, but on one condition: we had to go somewhere far enough that no one who knew x.com/samanthataghoy…
