People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

Not every time. I believe that all lives matter, and that the BLM movement is perfectly valid.
I believe that all genders should be treated equally and that the feminist movement is valid as well.
And there are absolutely people who believe that in order to achieve "equality" one group has to be drug down and treated the way the marginalized group was. There are people who honestly believe it's impossible to be racist against white people, or that men can't be victims of sexism.
As I said, the problem is when you use your broad belief to say that others can't focus on a more specific one.
Sure, you believe that all lives matter, so does blm, but are you going to put that on a sign in the United States? Because in the US that phrase is practically exclusively used in response to blm, to dismiss black discrimination. It's not a phrase that can honestly be taken at face value
Believing it is one thing. Using it as a retort to someone saying "black lives matter" is entirely another.
