Then send it to me, and I’ll make it a song

Good.

I’m always torn between accusing people of willful delusion, and sympathy for the difficulty of breaking out of a cult you’re culturally incentivized towards. I genuinely think that if the ‘Left’ had the funding the ‘Right’ does, this wouldn’t even be a contest. But one side is playing with a crazy big handicap, and we know from history exactly the kinda of culture that leads to. Discourage critical thinking, and you will find yourself with less and less critical thinkers around you.

Brian Jackson did a pretty good update. Check it out!

First of all, I’m proud of you for being the kind of person who is self-critical enough to ask questions like this. Things like ‘Do I speak hurtfully?’ And ‘Am I acting with privilege?’ Are hard to seriously ask, because they challenge our entire life structure to some extent, and might even require us to undertake the perilous and difficult task of manually adjusting our beliefs.

Then, to address what you actually asked, I think a general term is in your favor, if it’s true. Would you rather communicate that you feel for everyone undergoing an experience, or just most of them? It’s an easy thing to forget, that non women can become pregnant, and I doubt anyone blames you for misspeaking. That’s not an asshole thing to do. Nor is it an asshole move for someone to correct you. That’s just the dialectic of culture functioning properly and healthily. It’s unfortunate that we’re trained to associate self-change as a negative thing, because we should be questioning ours and other’s beliefs constantly, imo

Fuckin finally

Watch South Park then you’ll surely get it

I’d like to learn enough biology to cure aging and cancer. But first the politics need to change, so that’s my priority.

What a hilarious place to come ask this lol

Nothing is wrong with socialism except that maybe it doesn’t go far enough

Yes

Based

Which is why we will always need heroes.

I haven’t seen any proof he did do it either. If we’re weighing the circumstantial evidence available? There’s much more pointing towards that dog being treated well than poorly.

I have also seen a lot of proof that there is a targetted smear campaign against him, which leads me to be a lot more critical of all the info presented by both sides.

A perfectly reasonable take! I tend to have opinions on public figures because I do think accountability of some kind is more important for them than others. I’m not a fan of ‘cancel culture’, but the inverse of it, which allows a felon as president, is not desirable either.

Just to combat misinfo, Hasan clearly did not shock that dog

Alliance time :>

Well funded? Are you fucking kidding me? DSA just dealt with a funding crisis last year!

I don’t know if she is or isn’t. But I know I am, and that she’s a hero and an idol to me.

So that’s anecdotal, but combined with the shirt and my autism radar I’d say probably yes

Makes sense that she’d be autistic. Double empathy is crazy. Every time I hear about what she’s doing, I legitimately wish I could go with her.

You’re poor.
