Like they secretly hold mostly right wing views, but they want to hang out with the cool progressives. One of my ex friends blamed Corbyn for everything, even Brexit??? Another now posts anti Muslim stuff on FB regularly. A third is now a full on ecofascist who will just rant about black people like he's my demented grandma.
"Look i'm not just a feminist, i'm a radical feminist, but when trans people are allowed to exist i have no choice but to side with people who are successfully taking women's bodily autonomy away right fucking now because that's just the only way to save women's rights! You don't know what may happen otherwise, somebody could refer to me as 'person with a uterus' when i don't fight hard enough to narrow the definition of woman down to 'producer of large gametes'."
It’s so absurd and it hurts how much it’s not even a slight exaggeration. This is just how they talk.
