Comment on The type of southern hospitality you receive depends on your skin color.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 days agoTook me a second to figure out where I implied I would ignore someone getting attacked. Then I realized you took the part about me not joining their fight to be a physical fight.
What I meant by that is there are people who judge you for buying anything at chick fil a. Why? Because they’re anti-LGBQ. So they don’t shop there. That’s fine. That’s their choice to not shop somewhere because of their own beliefs. But then they judge you if YOU shop there. Because they’re in a fight with chick fil a. They expect me to join their fight. And I stay out of it. Now at the moment, I’ve been on a diet for the past 2 years. So I’m not eating there anyways, but it’s more due to calorie watching than a moral crusade.
But yeah, if I saw some guy getting jumped I’d be happy to throw down. Mostly because it’s the right thing to do, but theres also a small part because I’ve got a violent side that loves fighting, that almost never gets justification to do so. Combine that with the fact that I took up gym workouts recently, and I am just pumped. Almost all the time.

It was more of a more immediate example. You can not give a fuck about people’s gender, orientation, or whatever, but ignoring the government and people doing the equivalent of beating them in the streets (e.g. denying them access to medical services, sending them to
tortureconversion camps, cops beating and/or murdering them) is like walking by while they are getting beat up on the street because you don’t give a fuck and it’s not your fight.
