Oh wow. I have a schoolmate, who I could only describe by an inconsistent match of TikTok headlines.
He hates all major minorities (Black, Romani people, gender minorities,Muslims (even while having a Muslim schoolmate)) and actually wants the system to repress them or murder them.
He also answered to my cynical comment about older adults taking advantage of teen girls, saying that the women obviously want older guys for the money (what the hell, that wasn’t even the subject)
And he also has chauvinist opinions about autistics, while I (one of the few people who respect him) am an autistic. He thinks we’re all unable to speak and are too stupid to hold a job.
While speaking about my autism to him (the whole class already knew about it so it shouldn’t be a surprise to him) and how I regularly experience repression because of it, he became aggressive and screamed at me, that I couldn’t be autistic because I can speak and act too normal and that I am making up my disabilities because I know too much about them (I know a lot about neurodiversity, because I got diagnosed with autism as a child, no shit (but self diagnosing is valid, since most people don’t enjoy being genocided (but many enjoy genociding others, great))).
And he probably has an undiagnosed speech disorder (as he makes obvious mistakes when forming sentences) and he isn’t that great at school. But he has other abilities I respect him for, while I know that if my autism was slightly more visible, he would probably treat me like someone with a severe learning dissability.
He somehow recognizes the wealth gap between the working class and the capitalists, but I doubt, he would be open-minded to system reforms (EDIT: under capitalism) or socialist transition since his opinions about human rights don’t suggest that he believes in equality.
Etc.
But I (a minority) am probably his best friend in the whole class (which also means I have to listen to his chauvinist rants(which are many times also about me)).
Wow, this is longer than I thought. This wasn’t intended to be a rant, but here we are.
For me, this meme reminds me of two separate assholes who I was friends with in high school. One was someone who claimed to have progressive views, but was a total yuppie douche who only respected me because I was fairly intelligent and stood up to his bullshit. The other was a racist and transphobic edgelord who almost exclusively hung out with women and people of color, all the while being openly flamboyant and fruity. Needless to say, I stopped talking to both of those people and was better off for it.
