That sentiment is nice and all,

That sentiment, if followed by everyone, would make for a really good and peaceful world to live in. It's something we should all strive for.

conservatives literally want to murder me

I doubt the majority of conservatives would want to literally murder you.

There are always a few crazies on either end that we all have to deal with.

for my gender identity,

My suggestion would be to live somewhere where the majority of the people you live amongst don't give a flying f about your gender identity and will not harass you about it.

And then work politically for change, maybe even running for office.

And if you can't move, try to find others with the same circumstances as you and network with them, work together, and try to affect change as a group.

I’m not going to treat those people the way I would want to be treated

An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

Human beings are easy to ramp up into destruction, and hard to keep passive into peace.

The reality is we can't all just go and do what we want, whenever we want, we have an ethical and social contract with each other that we all need to adhere to.

When that is not done, war and death happens.

Never said they all want to murder me, you just conveniently left that part out so you could argue against a position I didn't take.

The ones that do want to murder me don't deserve the same treatment as those who do. I'd recommend reading eg https://medium.com/extra-extra/tolerance-is-not-a-moral-precept-1af7007d637.

As for moving, I'm absolutely not about to allow right-wingers to control my life to that extent that I'd move to some other country.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
