#smashthefarright — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Let's be honest, what do bootlicking right-wing anti-mask Covid denialists hope to achieve by heckling in the street? I've known of too many recent examples of this, though I've been fortunate enough not to be faced with such douchebaggery much myself. But let me say, as someone who has for years experienced abuse for dressing in drag or just dressing different, wearing makeup, nail polish, wearing political scarves or slogans or carrying flags or banners, or whatever: what such pricks want is...a response, of course. Nah, just ignore them. Be a subtly smirking badass punk pro wrestler walking that aisle towards the ring, soaking in a chorus of reactions. Rise above it. (Reminder to myself too, so posting this for posterity; feel free to hold me to account!) #SmashTheFarRight #MaskUp #WearAMask #CovidIsNotOver
