Self-righteousness on the left, in tech, and on Mastodon is no better a look than it is at a Baptist mega church in the suburbs of Arkansas. And twice as annoying. Because I thought we'd know better.

I read these activism threads and there's people in there going, no don't organize Facebook and X migration days to help people move along with their friends.

~FB and X users aided and abetted the enemy because it's SOOOOO easy to move and EVERYONE knows blah blah. So instead of picking a lane and pitching in some other way, I'm going to hijack this thread with my acidic dripping condescension so I can feel better about how I did the easy things for me by never being on Facebook in the first place (I'm so sMaRt) and now I'm finished with my work so I'll distract others from theirs.~

Sit back down!

Sit the fuck back down.

Either you pick up a hoe and start digging rows or not, but don't yell at the shovel crew because they've decided to pull stumps and putting others down makes you feel superior to them.

I'm sick of this shit. Y'all who do that are NO better than anyone else, least of all Aunt Edna who remains on Facebook for her quilting club and so she can see pictures of the grandbabies.

In fact, you're worse, because not only won't you fucking help her move, you're distracting from those who will, making them feel bad, PLUS you're violating the values of the left by thinking you're so much smarter than everyone else. Where's the equality in that?? That's about supremacy! That's about shoving people down so you can climb over them!

You're holding back the movement MORE than the flag-waving MAGAs because at least I can see where those fascist assholes are and keep them out of my spaces.

SIT. DOWN.
