 I don’t know if I’ve ever posted about it on here, maybe during an intro, but I recognize that I use aggressive language or take more extreme positions. 

It’s very intentional. 

I don’t think “civility” works when the status quo is clearly immoral and getting worse. Civility is a call from those empowered by it.

However not everyone is privileged enough to be confrontational and be okay if there are repercussions or someone comes for them. 

I have that privilege and so I try to use it.
