  • I don't think it's just a feeling of futility - it's true phones can be distracting and offer more potential entertainment, and it's true learning can sometimes be a slog. At the same time, learning can be fun and engaging, and phones can offer access to a wealth of information (of highly varying quality, admittedly).

    Concentrating too hard on mere academic success as gauged by metrics like school grades is undoubtedly discouraging for a student who only goes to school if they are told they must.

    I see what you're getting at and I agree, but on the other hand I don't think hating trans people is a prerequisite to being conservative. You can be socially somewhat liberal and economically conservative. Or maybe you're fine with identity politics but hate immigrants. Or you can merely be classist. There's a whole spectrum of hate!

    Well, see, there you've provided context. Perhaps it would be more obvious to an active participant in the instance but as a mere All scroller, context is often lost.

    Like, I know that there was some kind of spat between the blahaj instance and this one, but to be honest I'm mostly lost to the specifics aside from the fact that two instances supporting trans rights (as far as I know) had a political difference.

    I agree with the spirit, but I disagree with what the point of the comic is - it's not trying to make a point about respect per se, just about freedom of speech. Even if you wouldn't be a part of a community that allows hate speech, if you encounter it "in the street" so to speak - there's just nothing you can do.

    The point still stands, in the minutiae you're addressing. People post absolute garbage opinions on a regular basis, and are free to do so, as long as their platform allows it. This doesn't go into the consequences of pissing off a lot of people, but you're still free to do it.
