i feel like a lot of issues could be resolved by people just accepting they have biases and recognizing not all negative feelings they have about something means its bad. this type of emotional reasoning just leads to development of ocd or becoming reactionary. 'leftest' thinking does not exemplify you from your biases, identify and work on them. and also realize youre not special or evil for having them everyone does.

MOOD, I have chronic intrusive thoughts that are so vivid they can border on hallucination at times. My brain is trying to upset me. I'd drive myself further insane if I tried to assign moral value to this stuff that only affects me.
I've witnessed a lot of dogpiles which were supposedly "this person is problematic" but were actually "this person is cringe/weird and I want to feel morally justified in bullying them"
EXACTLY like, this hits so hard in queer spaces too, like why are assigning a moral judgment about weird identities in the weird identity group. especially when its surrounding specifically fems, women and gnc women hmmmm
