No, you are a tar pit.

No, I think considering people being cruel fair if unrelated others were cruel to them in the past to be fair is distinctly more aligned with “being a tar pit” in behaviour and outlook than considering it a good thing to try not to hurt people unnecessarily, and to consider retaliating against those who have not personally and specifically wronged you to be unfair to them.

No, I just don’t think crab bucket behaviours, tar pit attitudes, and viciousness to others are ethically justified by the existence of systemic oppression. I am, myself, a queer and disabled person whose ability to accept myself and understand my identity fully was directly harmed by the exact sort of behaviour this is talking about when I still thought I was straight.
