    If that’s really true, you may well be the most sheltered person on earth.

    Let me elaborate, the sheer hostility I’ve been shown, making assumptions that I must be fascist, Roma hater, etc to justify your hate towards me without proof is one that doesn’t belong in safe spaces. Tunnel visioning your hate so hard that when you focus it on someone who would not be prepared for that you could do real irreparable damage. Those words are luckily meaningless to me, but I have had friends who, at their lowest, would not be safe with someone that writes like some people in your community do.

    And I say this because I know the things I’ve been called would make my friends laugh with incredulity. The fact someone in your community thinks I’m those things, and are so self convinced is what makes your community dangerous.

    No person of the lgbtqia+ is sheltered by sheer upbringing. Hopefully the young generation can be, but mine, and where I grew up wasn’t afforded that luxury.

    What do you think critical support means?

    English isn’t my first language but elaborate how “Russia needs our critical support” isn’t a support of Russia.

      Spare me the self-righteousness, if “the people I was rude too were rude back to me” is something you can describe as “the most unsafe space I have ever encountered” without feeling deeply embarrassed, then you have no business trying to pontificate about what actually marginalised people endure. No amount of cope about how you’re totally definitely not big mad, but your girlfriend in Canada is, will change that.

      English isn’t my first language but elaborate how “Russia needs our critical support” isn’t a support of Russia.

      So you didn’t know what it meant, but you used it to insult someone anyway?

      It means support from a place of criticism, in the sense of “I don’t agree with them in general, but align on certain things”.

      Look, I’ll back up a bit and try to be more sincere here. There are three points I would like you to consider. The first is that your own behaviour has not exactly been free of toxicity. The second is that we on hexbear are used to liberals coming in with naked bad faith hostility, so we’ve, unfortunately fallen to the habit of responding in kind. This leads into my third point; the hostility you describe sounds basically like the bog standard normal that I’ve experienced when trying to converse in mainstream liberal spaces; Hexbear is one of the few spaces where I’m not showered with abuse for the crime of having a political alignment outside the overton window of a country I’m not even from.
