I'm at a point where liberals are more annoying than conservatives. (hexbear.net)

Performatively pretending to support movements against oppression is just no longer, in any way, less frustrating than the conservative tendency to just outright support oppression, and that's all liberals do.

Obviously, conservatives are evil and huge pieces of shit, but I'm at a point in my online presence where I just expect the most brainlet shit from them.

Libs, on the other hand, are just in an indefinite cycle of spouting bad takes that enable oppression, but due to ignorance, they think they're actively helping fight against it.

As a trans person of color, bigotry from conservatives is phasing me much less nowadays, but racism and transphobia from libs now seems significantly more abhorrent.

Don't expect me to explain the psychology behind it. This is just how it be like sometimes.

Correct, both strains of liberals believe in a meritocracy. They just have different qualities as to what is meritorious, and why it is meritorious, and ultimately it falls flat because actual emancipation is not merit-based.
