Yes, I know from a rhetorical perspective they’re a bunch of jerks who do nothing but complain, but is there an actual takedown of their ideological notions? Because just saying they suck without further explanation makes it hard to dismiss them when they pop up. I don’t agree with them, I just want to know why I shouldn’t. Something about statues and logic and being chained in a courtyard with wind and all that. I’m not sure where to put this, sorry.

If you’re worried that you hurt someone, take meaningful action to rectify it. Groveling doesn’t solve the problem and just attracts sadists who enjoy crushing socially acceptable targets.

That being said, you didn’t do anything wrong. It’s good to be informed.

I was joking mostly

Also, apologies are still important where ‘rectifying’ it isn’t really a thing that can be done. Like, say, saying something rude or stupid. In that case, the only way to ‘rectify’ it is by being nice to whoever got hurt, and apologies are a part of that.
