Rather Peculiar

"I've found that I find
The things that you find
Important rather peculiar."
– Vandaveer

I find it peculiar that you think gun rights are more important than stopping people killing other people with guns.

I find it peculiar that passing voter suppression laws is more important than ensuring all people have access to vote.

I find it peculiar that saying there is no systemic racism is more important than working toward ending systemic racism.

I find it peculiar that your freedom of religion is more important than the freedom your religion denies people who don't align with your religion.

I find it peculiar that you think empty boilerplate statements in support of diversity, equity, and inclusion are more important than actually doing the work that would lead to more diversity, equity, and inclusion.

I find it peculiar that you think gaslighting people when they share their experiences of oppression and marginalization is more important than believing the experiences of people who are experiencing oppression and marginalization.

I find it peculiar that your choice to stay cozy in your safe, familiar, comfortable bubble is more important than learning and growing and uplifting people who are on the downside of power.

Rather peculiar indeed.
