I think the intent is good but it's similar to a white person saying I don't have black friends or white friends, I just have fun friends. It's like ok that's nice but it kind of erases their differences and suggests they're not real.

If your friend is brown, you're friends with a brown dude. If you're friend is gay, you're friends with a gay dude. We want to celebrate people's differences not erase them - especially when we're in the dominant, or normative group

Seriously! It's so gross that people would use atrocities committed by intolerant murderers as a call to action against all intolerance and violent rhetoric, in general - especially when there are political parties that benefit significantly from said intolerance and violence.

When bad things happen it's never worth understanding what caused it to occur or trying to prevent it from happening again! Out of respect for the victims, you should just post your thoughts-and-prayers copypasta on social media and move on with your life

If you look up the definition/political ideology of liberalism vs socialism, vs communism, they're all significantly different.

I don't think Marxist would be the right term. That'd be like calling all liberals followers of Adam Smith. That is to say, it's helpful to know the history of your political ideology but it's not entirely necessary

Isn't that a fair assumption to make? Are there people that trash talk civil rights movements of the past or something?

Such a weird response. lol. Why would that need to have been said?

Are u you talking about those racist loitering laws that have been historically used to oppress non-white Americans?

I thought Arab countries were the only ones sending aid to Palestinians - ignoring the US which of course is playing both sides

Won't someone please think of the children!!!!

Seriously though, why not just support regulating them and allowing only reusable vapes instead of supporting a ban which only results in a black market?
