Some friends I just can’t shake
hard enough
around the neck
with a firm grip
Somebody that's actively trying to end my existence isn't a friend.

Aw come on... they're not trying to end your existence. They just don't want to be alive or exist.
Okay wait actually some DO want to end your existence directly. But most wished if you just died.
If you were to try to argue their view, I think they would say that their only problem is when you exhibit immortal behavior. Their definition of immoral behavior isn't the only historic definition but is certainly a prominent one.
I exhibit immortal behavior every day by not dying.
Sure, but the Christian/MAGA view of morality is a shit one that I don't subscribe to. They can fuck off with their moralizing of my decisions.
I don't have Muslim friends who preach for all out jihad and the destruction of American democracy.
I don't have conservative friends who preach for all out insurrection and the destruction of American democracy.
Some choices aren't difficult.
I have [a] conservative family.
To be conservative in 2024, you have to dismiss that some people in our community are miserable and every day we leave them to their fate is heinous.
In the US, a failure to vote [against] any given Republican (by voting [for] an opposing democrat) is another step towards autocracy and genocide. Every Republican in office is a force towards the Heritage Foundation's 2025 project, by which they will unmake the meager democratic features and civil rights that remain in the US.
Conservatives believe, by the natural extrapolation of their positions and behavior, I have no right to exist. (Curiously, this includes my own father, who simultaneously facilitates political efforts seeking out my extinction while expressing a dissonant interest in my well-being. He doesn't dare connect the two in his mind.)
I'd be fine with them if they weren't constantly shoving it in our faces. Think about the children!
And then they put that stuff in classrooms! How disgusting
Isn't Islam technically Conservative? I'm confused
I don't agree with the fascist lifestyle. I think they should keep it behind closed doors. On another planet. Not this one.
The point is to not be tolerant of intolerance...
The paradox of tolerance says if we tolerate intolerance, then intolerance will dominate. Or something.
It's ok not tolerating intolerant people.
You've become the intolerant. I can't tolerate that. Repeat.
Fuck building bridges. Everybody start digging a graveyard for the things that need to die.
