  • If you think about it, it's so silly, it's almost funny.

    The more you think about it, the funnier it gets. We have a planet abundant in resources, we have basically limitless energy from the sun, we have everything we need as a species, and it's never enough. We can't stop consuming. The more someone has, the more they want, the ones among us who have the most are the most insatiable.

    We are endlessly destructive aliens of consumption. We are the Tyranids, we are the Flood, we are the Replicators (Stargate not Star Trek).

    It's actually a good thing for the universe that our species will probably die on this planet, if we ever eached a spacefaring stage we would wreck havoc on the galaxy.






  • I haven't met Kamala Harris. If you use one establishment Democrat to inform your opinion of all black people, you're probably going to end up inexcusably ignorant.

    The cure is ignorance is fostering friendships with people on a personal level, listen with the intent of understanding their struggle. Leftist spaces are not doing a good enough job of giving black voices a space and y'all are using Kamala as your excuse to keep it that way.










  • Outstanding post, this part spoke to me the loudest:

    Female separatism, by placing such a big emphasis on distancing the feminist movement from men, already does this. It renounces the social construction of sex by assuming that men are innately evil to a point in which that male privilege, in the context of female separatism, is trying to be handled on an individual level rather than a systemic level at this point.

    I can't help but feel right now that cis men are innately evil, because if they aren't, then why do they act like that??

    From a higher reasoning perspective of course this isn't true, it stems from systemic issues and systemic issues require systemic solutions.

    Getting to understand the root of my frustration though I'm working on avoiding falling into traps of racism and transphobia. It's still shocking how some anger and frustration can quickly pipeline to right wing ways of thinking.





  • It's WAY worse than that, the implication is that "political correctness" is not actually correct, and the correct/natural/default position is to be racist/white supremacist/homophobic/transphobic, and these have to be disguised purely for the purpose of being politically savory.

    So if you aren't being racist you aren't being correct - you're being politically correct.

    Yes it's absolutely ghoulish.


  • I said it months ago here: establishment Dems love to lose. They still have all their power and privilege, none of the responsibilities, the GOP can make everything even more cushy and privileged for establishment like them, and they get to complain and blame everything on the GOP even while reaping the benefits.

    Literally there are no downsides to establishment Dems losing to the GOP.
