It's a tricky prospect, trying to balance hate speech and distinguishing it from someone simply expressing bad thoughts.

I guess I'm someone who came with a lot of poor, preconceived notions, and it took some time, patience, and radicalizing to arrive where I am today.

I've had some pretty awful takes over the years and said insensitive things, but it's other comrades who turned me on to better ideas.

    One time I introduced someone to a leftwing discord and there was a little test to get posting permissions and it was literally just "What do you think about capitalism?" and she said, "capitalism is dumb." and got jumped by people scolding her for using the word "dumb" and just said fuck this.
