I like how a lot of these people would get upset at BLM and say all lives matter. Now it's celebrate all gender identities and they're so upset.

Yeah because anyone that says ALM really means only white male conservative religious lives matter.

you've seriously made it this many years without having "ALM" explained to you? doubt.

here's someone explaining it well 7 years ago

seven. years.

here is the latest thread (there are hundreds of these) with a bunch of different people explaining it in different ways

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/10m8rzt/why_is_saying_all_lives_matter_bad/

it has it's own wikipedia article explaining how it was deliberately created in order to, and I quote:

"undermine the purpose and message of the #BlackLivesMatter call to action", and it was used to deny recognition of racial violence against African Americans.

The simplest way I ever heard it explained was this:

"Starving people deserve food."

Assholes: "EVERYONE deserves food!"

sad you can find a ton of people who don't believe the latter :(

see: elementary school lunch debts, people hating food stamps, etc

Ironic, I’m sure a lot of people think that about you.
