One time it wasn't a bigot, but an old guy taking creepshots of college girls on the light rail
Edit: If you're going to argue against my meme, then why don't you tell me what you expect me to do when I see someone hurling epithets and slurs against brown people or trans people, or homophobes calling me a "faggot" and spitting at me? Just sit there on my hands like a useless log?
And moreover, if you've come here from other instances for the sole purpose of calling me names, I'm going to report that shit and message your instance admins. There is NOTHING about my post or comments that is attacking or insulting anyone, unless you're a creep or a bigot.
I'm not going to sit idly by while others cause harm.
Remember to always stand up for what's right. Ignore the ignorant people who tell you not to. They're part of the problem.
This is an essential part of mutual aid
Last time I posted this, people were calling me a fascist and supporter of "mob justice" because apparently fascism is when you force racists and homophobes to get off the train using group pressure. I'm not afraid of people like that, and I speak up when I see it.

Why don't you go stand up for bigots and creeps somewhere else
Also, you're breaking your instance's code of conduct. I haven't attacked you.
Hot take: Oppression and bigotry = bad
Since "mob rule" is a gross misrepresentation of what I'm talking about, I've nothing to say in response
You are an impolite, uncivil status quo defending troll who followed me to this instance after I migrated here with the express goal of escaping this type of unprovoked negativity and harassment
You are welcome to reread my post and comments. They're easily understood.
I don't believe in mob justice though. That's a gross and deliberate mischaracterization of my post.
I get where you're coming from and I want to be on your side, but this can get real tricky depending on the... I guess belief systems that make up the majority of the people on the bus.
I see where your hearts at, and I like it, but even though a lot of them are being assholes about it, some of the people in the thread make a good point. How we feel about 'group pressure' depends a lot on which group is most numerous at the time.
