But I will say this, a movement can’t get along without a devil, and across the whole political spectrum there is a misogynistic tendency to choose a female devil, whether it’s Anita Bryant, Hillary Clinton, Marie Antoinette, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, or J.K. Rowling [or Taylor Swift]. And there’s always gonna be people who seize on any opportunity to be misogynistic. So I would advise trans people and our allies [or environmentalists] to keep in mind, that J.K. Rowling [Taylor Swift] is not the final boss of transphobia [anti-environmentalism]. She’s not our devil. The devil is the Republican Party, the Conservative Party.

    Or you could read what I wrote, and not drag actual human minorities like a meat shield into an argument about wasting resources on unnecessary personal plane trips.

    I cannot out-explain bad faith racist bullshit.

    “Oop! I said something reeeeeeaally racist and now no one wants to talk to me! They must be BAD FAITH. I will not think critically about this ever! Yipee!!”

    I am not swifts toes. Fuck off.

      I did read what you wrote. And I have no idea what you think the actual problem is or what the solution would be.

      And since I’ve asked you to tell me and you refuse, I don’t think you actually know. Hence you being here in bad faith.

      By the way, I can name precisely two Taylor Swift songs, I’ve only heard one of them, and I didn’t care for it. But I’m sure you’ll say that’s a lie.

        argument about wasting resources on unnecessary personal plane trips.

        *argument about wasting resources on unnecessary personal plane trips. *

        **argument about wasting resources on unnecessary personal plane trips. **

        ***argument about wasting resources on unnecessary personal plane trips. ***

        You clearly are not reading, as you keep lying about me not explicitly telling you what the problem is.

        Just checked the mirror, racist, still not swifts toes. Fuck off.

          I’m not reading?

          My very first comment:

          she undeniably was doing it way too much and for way too short distances

          So if you’ve agreed with me the whole time, why have you been arguing?

            If you cannot grok my literal first comment to you, youve been arguing in bad faith this whole time.

            Im. Not. Swifts. Feet. Fuck. Off.

              Again, we’re in agreement. Why are you arguing with me?

              I don’t get it. Do you want me to not agree with you?

                  Believe it or not, I don’t have to do what you order me to do.

                  Also believe it or not, you can stop replying to me at any time. That you haven’t proves that you don’t actually want me to fuck off.

                  We’ll see if you continue to prove that. All you have to do to show I’m wrong is not respond.

                  On the other hand, you could explain why you’re arguing with me when we agree.
