Thanks. I mostly posted that mini-rant because I’m unhappy with the current political divides here in Canada and in the US being reduced for too long to “self-righteous and toxic” and “intolerant and arrogant” to such a degree that memes like this are championed by the former while the latter use it as confirmation bias to justify their fear-motivated hatred.

Personally I would say I’m close to Center-Left and call my political philosophy Neutralism since Centrism seems to mean “compromises with both sides, even if one side is not governing in good faith” and I honestly care less about the social side of politics and more about its effects on people’s happiness.

So basically, I just feel sick of having to tell all the Woke, TERF and Conservative internet assholes that they are not entitled to having their opinion catered to and that I’m no more a right-winger for something like only knowing English than I am an SJW for knowing slavery in America was only 100% (99.9%?) eliminated in 2012, or a TERF for wondering what the basis is of the public opinion that J.K. Rowling is transphobic.

What a person does and doesn’t know is not what makes them ignorant. Willing ignorance is when you refuse to accept the truth because it’s uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean finding the truth is easy. As far as many people around the world knew for decades, Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves at the end of the American Civil War and that was the end of the slavery part of racism, when in actuality the assassination of Lincoln was done deliberately so that the Vice President could undo everything Lincoln tried to fix. If you found that out, did that make you a racist until you realised it, or were you just human?

tl;dr: People who are extremists seem to have unreasonable expectations of what a good person is, ironically due to their own unwillingness to question what they believe. I’ve been silently trying to ignore it and I think today I just said "screw it, this clearly isn’t Reddit, I’m going to point out that this meme is actually and unreasonably taken as an ideal to be followed or fuel for the hate machine too often.
