How To Disagree With Someone Without Being a Jerk

(Warning: this post contains references to bigotry and Nazis.)

The only person you’re ever going to 100% agree with all of the time is yourself — and if you’re anything like me, that doesn’t always work either.

So sometimes, you’re gonna disagree with people you like (not to mention the people you don’t like,) over big things and little things alike.

Just to make myself clear — you HAVE to disagree with Nazis, and you CAN be a jerk to them.

If you’re a marginalised person on the Internet — or possibly just a woman with a voice — you may have come across actual swastika-toting, threat-making, Nazis on your online travels.

Lord knows I have, and I often wonder how people manage a blessed Internet existence where they don’t see this sh**, but alas, such is not the fate of a Queer chick with a blog.

If someone’s waving swastikas and pictures of Hitler around, and/or belongs to the KKK, they’ve pretty much waived any right for people to be polite to them.
