    I would just shock people when they're lying online. That's it.

    They can do it to people in person, but no more sock puppets or disingenuous BS on the internet. No more people taking credit or talking about their cousin who for real died from a mote of fentanyl dust.

        I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of debate bros suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced

      As an ND can I petition to extend this policy IRL too because I'm tired of literally every social interaction being confusing and exhausting

    The "human nature" argument. Idk why this line of argument pisses me off more than others. It just feels disingenuous on too many layers maybe.

    Anyways I feel like I've seen it come up a lot in the last few days. It would be funny to see if the ones arguing it can be classically trained into abandoning it

      My first philosophy paper I started with an appeal to human nature and rightfully the prof did destroy that with big bold red markings. I did use the snappy start since I learned from the Economist and the big newspapers, be it Die Zeit or some Anglosphere ones that it is interesting and intellectual to do it.

      It is mostly used to strengthen hegemonic ideology, it isn't scientific and many people using it have no clue about what "natural" is and neither do they have concepts about what did happen in pre-history, but they think they do - as I did, too. It is a scourge.

    Any time somebody talks about politics through the lens of 'tribalism' or boiling ideology down to a 'my team their team' situation.

      God I fucking hate the muh "tribalism" bit. It's almost as exhausting as American conservatives saying

    Whenever someone misuses the word "logic" to mean "reason(albe/ing) because they don't know what logic is, which would make the word almost unused. Would be so nice.
