It just absolutely amazes me that there are still people who think “ignore them and do positive stuff” is still a viable option. We would LOVE to ignore them, but they are the people who are holding us back on every kind of progress. It doesn’t matter what it is- disease control, civil rights, the environment, fair wages, universal health care, sane gun policy- on every fucking issue that actually matters it’s essentially the same group of assholes fighting tooth and nail to prevent civilization from moving forward, and to drag it backward if they can. They have very deliberately made themselves impossible to ignore and we can no longer just work around them. They need to be addressed, and yet there are still people who think even blaming them for the problems they’ve created is just unimaginable, let alone ostracizing them.
