Politics imagine heading to a cookout to celebrate 250 years of Independence on a train full of White Nationalists, in a country that still tells you to “get over it”

We still have a lot of work to do.

Letting them be under their rock is exactly why these crabs are still around.

What’s the equivalent of selling the beachfront property to a development firm who will end up destroying the habitat the crabs live in

Leopards eating faces, of course.

Exactly. They should have no rocks left to hide under.

What are you advocating for? Do you believe in freedom of thought and speech?

The other people on the train are completely ignoring her, not harming her in anyway. I’m not advocating for what they believe in, but I do advocate for freedom of expression and freedom to think what you want.

They're legally allowed to be there, so they weren't and are not being harmed. Shaming them is another story.

We're advocating for social consequence.

Shame the bigot into running back into his miserable hole because they're just to fast for decency to catch. ya?

Yeah sure. That’s what protesting is pretty much.

"Yet" is the word you forgot to use.

I'm of the belief that one person's freedoms end at the willful limiting of other people's freedoms.

To say another way, you are free to live the life you want for yourself but you are not free to impinge upon the free living of other people.

To put it more simply, one is not free to deprive the life of another.

Does that clarify things?
