if a group of people (deputized slave patrols) is harassing and kidnapping another group of people (anyone perceived to be non-white), and I am talking about it, is it _me_ who is stupid, malicious, and detracts from the discussion, or is it the slave patrollers and their supporters who are stupid and malicious?I think it's the latter.

I took the time to read a couple articles on your blog, and they are wildly inflammatory and inaccurate to put it mildly.

I don't find most people in the USA to be worth taking seriously, either. Liiiike if someone thinks the primary purpose of police is something like "protecting and serving" vs. being deputized slave patrollers.
How could I take that person seriously?
If I don't think political authority is real, and 90% of the us population does think it is real, and votes, I'm already out of sync with all of those people.
And I've got at least one or two additional hot takes that could alienate another few percentage points.
race and gender are constructs of supremacy thinking, the US government commits 100x more acts of terrorism than the next most terroristic group, evangelicalism is a cult, all religion is self-and-other harming, monogamy is way over-rated, marriage is harmful to everyone...
honestly, I'd be concerned if it seemed like lots of people agreed with me, especially lots of people in America! One doesn't get a nation that did 400+ years of chattel slavery without most people being pro-slavery.
