There is this weird idea centrists and liberals have that the views of leftists, broadly speaking, aren't informed by our experiences with Christianity and conservatives, especially conservative family members.
That we apparently sprang fully formed from a socialist Internet chat room and are totally oblivious to what people around us think.
Oftentimes, in fact, we believe what we do because we've had to constantly defend ourselves from conservatives, not because we've never spoken to them.

in reply to Nowhere Girl • • •my mom’s dad was a cop. her older brother was a narc and she even worked as a jail/prison guard here in NYC: the infamous women’s jail that Angela Davis and Andrea Dworkin wrote about. she thought she could help from the inside. mami spent decades in therapy because of it.
when you grow up around cops, you are bound to be radicalized against the whole system that sustains them.

in reply to Nowhere Girl • • •But underneath this pretense about free speech, debate, and the marketplace of ideas is the fact that centrists / liberals want us to submit to conservatives.
That in the name of white solidarity, false peace, or their own conservatism, they want us to waste our time and surrender our principles.
