OK. see. you should have said "good society" in your tweet, first of all. then explained a) why that matters b) what that is

this is a style of social justice contrarianism that is probably more class-gated than social justice itself

could be i spose. maybe there's a hotbed of reactionary sentiment lurking in NYC metro where it isn't visible from my class position. i am dubious

okay it's gonna be pretty complex if it's gonna explain how i'm actually unaware of the mores of the place i live, which in fact are opposite to what i think they are

there's so many parts of Montreal I know next to nothing about! I met someone a couple weeks ago who was explaining all these ethnic dynamics I'd never heard about, and that it's a city where "the kind of white you are matters" which besides French/English I'd never picked up

& I'm Online, so I hear completely conflicting things from people who live in cities about the cities they live in all the time tbf I'll admit it is quite likely NY goes beyond "liberal cities" here tho; I've never heard of anything like in that one schools article, for instance

what i'm finding to be the key thing about what you're saying, though, is thinking about people's families i'm basically an orphan so i don't have the habit, it's the agora i'm thinking about but i bet a lot of people here wish that list were more normalized to mom & dad

YEAH OK I THINK THIS IS GETTING NEAR THE CORE OF IT (although re: "the agora"... street harassment still happens often to visibly queer people I know - in ways that surprised me! and whatever liberal advantage NYC has is prob cancelled out by Canadian politeness advantage here)
