Yeah same. Though I try really hard to empathize with them just as much as I try to empathize with the folks I disagree with so that I can be effective in building bridges in advocating for my cause

I think much of the dysfunction in the ways we fight for progress is rooted in the way that online platforms have socialized us to adress the audience of people on the sidelines who already agree with us rather than the person we're ostensibly speaking to, and to try and find the perfect clapback, or most publicly show what "side" you're on. And unlearning your socialization is hard.

I have to work really hard not to let it get under my skin though, its agonizing watching someone "advocate" for your cause by actively doing damage to it 🥲
