@manton extrapolating based on replies here and elsewhere, along with what I would like see, what is desired isn’t a non-apology, but a clear statement of personal principles.
I <fill in name> believe women, bipoc, and lgbtqia+ folks are people and deserve the full equal protection of the law.
I believe Nazis are bad. I believe Bigots are bad. I believe Anyone who can’t echo those two statements is one or both, and doesn’t deserve a seat at the table anymore.
This shouldn’t be controversial - but if someone can’t say that much from the heart, people who rely on them should know.
@timapple it disappeared from the German language in 1938, for te same reasons. There is no room for nuance in conversations like “do some people have the right to exist”. Those of us at the margins, or protecting people at the margins, need to know who the safe people are, where the safe places are.
