He said that I was indoctrinating young people to hate America and hate white people. The Republican state representative saw me as an example of why public schools should be defunded. He had earlier called teachers “idiots” for their advocacy around Covid-19 protections. And speaking of the conspiracy to kidnap Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, he said, “I think it’s fine for politicians to feel pain, or be threatened with violence, whatever.” (I will leave him unnamed out of a desire to not boost his profile or draw him attention, since his actions have been well-documented in the press.)

What lovely people on that side.

Been saying they want to do a slavery for years and no one would listen.

They just want someone to do their laundry, make their food, take over their jobs, ad infinitum... and pay them for the privilege. See? It's not like their ideal concept of marriage at all. ^waitaminute...

To them "A+B=A+B" yet someone gave them a magic talking-stick — to shout down all other voices and beat whatever skulls they like.

and, yes, I wanted so badly to make the allusion of the plus being white jesus in between said concepts, but I'm already fucking tired of all this today, and I've barely woken up

I also said slavery was wrong back when I was on Reddit. That was not a popular opinion when it came healthcare as a right requiring people to provide services. Thought out to it's logical conclusion healthcare as a right requires someone to provide labor as seen a couple years back when medical personnel were not allowed to quit their jobs and go work elsewhere.
