    I’ve literally had multiple relatives tell me to my face how they’re giddy with excitement for the day they get the order to march through the streets and kill people like me, a queer lefty.

    I’d prefer if we didn’t let that happen here.

        There’s many reasons I call them relatives and not family

        You can choose your family (and I have), can’t choose your relatives though

        But you don’t have to associate with your relatives unless you want to

        That’s a terrible pun.

        How about, blood may be thicker than water, but that doesn’t mean you can’t dam it.

      Hey, for what it’s worth I have had some similar experiences with relatives bemoaning my family and friends’ rights to exist as who they are and I agree with you about left-accelerationism.

      My earlier comment was low hanging fruit because it’s one of John Beard’s best lines and the last time the non-government crowd took over a place the wildlife took over shortly afterwards.
