    I don’t feel like I need to; the burden of proof is on you to explain why both must simultaneously succeed or fail

      Lmfao, of course *you * think you shouldn’t have to. But you do! You asked why, to explain it to you, I need to understand what you’re struggling with.

      You refusing to say the quiet part out loud just confirms to me what I knew from that first comment - that you’re not genuinely interested, and that I have better things to waste my time on than on providing an education to someone who clearly doesn’t want it.

        If I make a meme which asserts that a giant Blahaj in the sky controls the American government, and you call it into question, is the burden of proof on you to explain what it is about the meme you don’t understand, or on me to show you why I believe it’s true?

        To put it in less sarcastic terms, the answer is that what I’m struggling with is the whole thing.

          You have put very little to no effort into your why question, and it was very effective at making the op mad, so if your goal was trolling I suppose it was effective.

          If you are serious, then you don’t have a good grasp of intersectionality and it isn’t ops responsibility to teach you… Particularly when you are aggressive about your lack of knowledge being a good place to argue from.

            I am not trolling, but was hoping for somebody, OP or otherwise, to explain why they believe the message of the meme to be true, so that I or other lemmings could learn a bit more about the subject. I’m glad that the community has stepped in to share their knowledge. My intent was not to be aggressive with my comparison to Russell’s teapot Blahaj, if that’s what led you to your judgement of my attitude, but to show OP that the burden of proof was on them to show why the two movements are as interdependent as they claim.

              I would recommend you go figure out what sea lions are in this context. Hopefully it will help you understand why the attitude you brought is aggressive. If not I can answer that for you.
