“Why won’t those coloreds over there abandon their tight knit communities to come be with us non-Nazi whites” is definitely a question that should cause some introspection, and yet.
imho “there are nazis on twitter” shouldn’t make you shame ppl for not abandoning twitter it should make you want to have a long hard think about why a lot of Black and Asian people still prefer twitter over bluesky
obviously on a different topic but I’ve been told multiple times today that I am lying about things for clout so I can be popular on the internet, lot of that going around at the moment
my favorite discourse demon take i saw was someone saying i’m not actually trans & am just a cis woman pretending to be trans for clout.
that got a really good laugh from me as i blocked everyone who liked that post.
My gut says that was projection from someone who cannot believe peeps can actually be genuine
A healthy dose of skepticism is ok, knee-jerk paranoia not so much
meanwhile tumblr's got their own TREND of transmascs claiming to be transfem so they "can't be transmisogynist"
(one of them also started claiming to be jewish to deflect from criticism about any antisemitism. i LITERALLY knew this person offline. these 2 lies in particular drive me up the wall.)
I often wonder what all the good posters on here do with their enormous clout. I understand folk trying to build followers to make a living from their art or writing or whatever, but other than that does having a lot of followers get you lounge access or priority boarding or respectful nods outside?
Good. I was worried that I might find out about Clout Heaven, and then i would try to earn a place there by doing good posts but I don't have that in me.
