Insulting people for being dipshit reactionaries isn’t a “toxic behavioral pattern”. The average liberal holding their hands over their ears and screaming “LALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU PUTINBOT!!” whenever they hear any rhetoric or politics left of Reagan is infinitely more damaging and toxic to societies online and irl.

To quote Martin Luther King:

First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”

Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

toxicity is when you bully proven bigots instead of treating them like royalty

fuck off back to shitbag

Caring about things and snapping at people who act like apathetic smuglords whenever important things come up is toxic, and the more you care the more toxic it is. The correct way to engage online is to envelop oneself in irony and never engage with the content of other people’s messages, only their tone. Good to know!
