When it comes down to it, Pride Month annoys all the right people. Pun totally intended.
I'm tired. Of fighting these battles. Of the scars I wear from paving the path to freedom literally with my blood and tears. I don't know why I thought Steemit would be any different, but I did. Foolish optimism, perhaps.
I make no apologies
for being a mirror. If you're uncomfortable with the reflection, the correct solution is not to destroy the mirror and anyone who is consistent in their application of philosophy and ethics; who reveal the monster staring back at you. The correct solution is to not be a monster.Just in the last few days here on Steemit:
@son-of-satire (69 rep): It's LGBTQ Awareness Month. Why?
@gomeravibs (64 rep): Why Is the Gay Agenda Always Being Thrust Down Our Throats?
(This got fairly decent upvotes from both @aggroed and @jacobts.)

Read the comments.
You're not resisting some globalist or Marxist "agenda" by attacking LGBT+ people.
You just seem to think that's the default fallback to claim any time someone points out your hypocrisy. You're not an individualist if you're goose-stepping to marching orders from right-wing fascists. You're a useful idiot serving someone's agenda.
I'm 100% on board with pointing out the sociopathic flaws and history of mass-murder perpetrated by various socio-economic *isms. But notably none of you ever go after fascism, or even socialism for that matter. You go after the victims of the latter's "agenda" which you can only seem to attribute to some nefarious cabal sitting around smoke-filled rooms plotting world domination, and you ignore the similarities with the former.
I'm sorry/not sorry to be the one to break it to you, but "the globalists" conquered the world over 100 years ago. During WW1, if not sooner. Better to rip that Band-Aid off now.
Here's a history lesson for you.
Anyone who supports the type of Steemit posts linked above can fuck off. You're part of the problem.

Hi this is bot belongs to @sapphic
You are obviously on her author upvote whitelist, (which means you are pretty special), or your post passed the threshold of her algorithm.
Either way she will be along shortly to read your post, ponder it and leave a lovely comment.
I like this:

I'm also aware I have a voting bot from steemauto and only allocate 10% votes to around 150+ accounts a day. We all have an agenda. I don't care if someone is up, down, left, right, gay, straight, boy, girl, happy, sad, angry, afraid, rich, poor, whatever. But I respect that some people care, and some people get worked up, and some people want freedom of speech and they display their appreciation for individual freedom of speech by shaming others they disagree with and dragging others not involved into a crusade against opposing view points in the name of freedom, and then that other side gets all worked up and next thing you know we're living in Trigger City again.
Sorry bout the bot. Wishing you well. Just trying to hustle a buck to fill a tank, feed a stomach, and find a roof while doing what I do. Please and thank you for taking the time to glimpse what I do. Yes, I can be a prickly pear, but I'm just a crypto impro hobo who humbly supports the living arts.
Side note, a friend recently called Theater and Improv, "Empathy Machines". I thought that was a nice way of describing an art that brings us together, live, in person, to better understand each other. Side side note, I used to autovote all your posts too til I was requested to stop because the posts didn't always pay out.... I didn't mind giving to the reward pool at those time. And simply, I appreciate you and what you do Ancapbarbie. You, and many in the Discord Army of Steemians, do so much for communities. Wishing you all the best.

A strait is a narrow body of water. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait
Strait
A strait is a naturally formed, narrow, typically navigable waterway that connects two larger bodies of water. Most commonly it is a channel of water that lies between two land masses. Some straits are not navigable, for example because they are too shallow, or because of an unnavigable reef or archipelago.
what does a gay horse eat?....hhaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!
I can't seem to find the :groan: emoji.
That joke is older than I am.
Which is 32.
32 dammit!
LOL. its keeps getting harder and harder to be cool after 30.
This doesn't surprise me in the least. And I stopped Folowing @aggroed many months ago. He was seriously sending off racist/bigoted vibes in his Posts. I confronted him about the memes in question and he really gave a lackluster reply and it was pretty obvious he stance on it. So shameful the irony in his actions trying to help out Minnows including many Africans and other minorities who would be totally offended by this crap he puts out.
Hey, I usually give everyone the benefit of the doubt. But when it comes to bigotry, misogamy, and child abuse I just do NOT tolerate it whatsoever. Not even if it is just a little bit "racist". Kind of like being a little bit "pregnant" lol
Several people suggested I DM him on Discord to ask him about it, both before and after one of my colleagues did just that. My response was twofold: 1) He is, at best, irresponsible with his auto-voting, and at worst supportive of this type of bigoted shitpost; 2) It is way above my pay grade to be babysitting top-10 Witnesses.
The thing is, when my colleague contacted him to ask about it, he danced around a definitive answer but basically doubled-down on his support of tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories attacking what would ultimately be victims of the same "agenda", instead of the source of that agenda.
I stand by everything in this post. If @aggroed wants to contact me about it, he better be open to rational debate, or I will shit in his mouth. But I doubt he will, because this is the fourth or fifth time he's been tagged about this and he hasn't responded to me either here or on Discord.
Replace "LGBT" with whatever demographic you like in any of those shitposts, and tell me those demographics (some of whom have an unhealthy obsession with trans women - but notably not trans men) aren't gonna be up in arms about how fucking insane it sounds.
Yeah, of course he will attribute anybody who as a seemingly different view point than his as being a "snowflake". Which Iam not. I do not subscribe to any "in the box" partisan bullshit
We are at a decentralized platfrom so he has a Right. But I also have a Right. I think too many people in our Society have let it go when Bigotry is in subtle forms..
I have just gotten to the point that I call it out for what it is. And mainly I do it for people who may not have a strong enough Voice or Personality to do so
And anymore if I see even just a little evidence that someone could be a Racist or bigot and really puts down others...well Iam too old anymore to try to pursue it farther to see if they truly are. I just move on and do not associate with that person.
Funny thing is a week before I started seeing his questionable memes I sent him a 1 SBD for his help in MSP and to thank him for all that he does for the platform lol
Excellent post. I think attacking people who are different is very counterproductive.
