you know how people, especially on twitter, try and share their absolute dogshit takes without a care for humility, just unbribled stubbornness

everybody seem so full of themselves and I just can't bring myself to trust anyone unless they show a hint of doubt over their own thoughts, and that's flat out absent from most social media

idk, I don't think I did a good jb describing what I feel, it's hard to accurately put into words

but like, do you have stuff you usually keep to yourself, because like you know the thought isn't well rounded or something and you don't want to say something incorrect. or like interrogations about stuff you can't really answer by yourself

    The fact age of consent laws have become so taboo to talk about among left circles is pretty stupid, imo.

    I think it's a good tactical choice to just leave that alone until we're a hell of a lot closer to socialism. One thing that can kill outsider political movements is trying to push every possible policy change at once instead of focusing on a few of the most important ones, getting that done, and building from there.

      so, never?

      You act as if putting children in prison for having sex is a touchy subject when in reality it is something that isnt done in literally every other developed country in the world. Romeo and Juliet laws are the least controversial thing there fucking is and still people like you pretend it is some extremely taboo subject. You are exactly the person I was talking about.

      In America they can and do charge children with "manufacturing child pornography" for sending pictures of themselves to other teens. Something a majority of the non-incel teen population has done at some point. This is not a reality in even America-lite Canada as it has been very obviously decided that is not the intention of anti-child sexual abuse laws. This is not a taboo subject. Stop treating it like it is.

        There are a lot of things that are touchy subjects in the U.S. even though they're ordinary everywhere else in the world. That's what we're working with.

        This is bad and we should fix it, but it's one narrow corner of the topic and -- realistically, in the U.S. -- you still have to handle it delicately.
