My normal on social media and in real life.
There is a word for people who don't like people they don't know — based on projected biases, pre-judgment, prejudice, the word is prejudice.
Note the screen capture below as a response on the Berkeley, CA Reddit, where I just asked where to find other progressive minded people over 65.
That resulted in repeated attacks with no intervention by mods.
Moving on.
In the mind of this person who doesn't know me, it can't be that I face anti-Blackness, constant Ageism, Misogynoir, Homophobia, and anti-Trans bigotry and violence.
No instead, they say I must be "an unlikeable person that others would simply rather not engage with, let alone cohabitate with."
But no explanation or evidence to support this attack on my character.
Then there is the ageist part of their comment:
"you refer to yourself as an “iconoclast”. People with a few years left to enjoy life don’t have time for this kind of self-indulgent nonsense lol"
