  • Love and curiousity. For the latter, my ability to find things interesting has allowed me to look past the immediate and into the past and the far future, the details of the world that add up from countless actions of people or movements of particles, creating such wonderful complexity.

    But it would all be for nought had I not someone to share it all with, my friends, my lovely girlfriend, a mind alone and silent is a mind wasted. And I could never waste such a precious gift, I’m grateful to share my intelligence and stupidity alike, for they are my diversity and a symbol of complexity as a human being.

    It also helps me understand why things are happening, especially in relation to economics, history and politics. When tragedies occur, I’m able to be more immediately dispassionate as I see the causes and the trends and parallels to history. Yet it has not made me lose my humanity, if anything, I have turned kneejerk emotions into an olympic fire of sorts, never out, always there, always aware. In the words of a forgotten British punk band “I cultivate the hate to anhiliate the state”








  • Kamala lost. The idpol of kinder language is a trashfire and a failure because the assumption that “empathy” is a shared quality among humanity is wrong and “bloodlust” is actually far more common, while complete ignorance and anti-intellectualism and accusations of “overthinking” prevail over both as you can see in the programming.dev techbro below.

    Talking about how language influences views of marginalized or minority groups is useless when most people can barely even read more than a paragraph without bitching because they never developed reading stamina.

    As for those who make these conversations necessary in the first place - they will always use the meanest word they can and all this has done is fed fuel to reactionaries.

    There are far more important real fights to fight, like access to HRT and surgeries for people suffering from gender dysphoria - a crippling disorder, before you metropolitan libs start going on about “trans-femmes” and “masculine gendered language”



  • That’s rough. That said as a trans woman (no idea what a trans-femme is) I don’t see a problem with it in the context of “you guys”.

    I use “dude” as a general exclamation towards my own also-trans gf sometimes even. Really y’all oughta chill on the language policing. If you pass people will treat you like the gender you look like, if you don’t, they won’t really, no matter how much they try, and your main issue is not passing and thus money which can fix that, not other people and their language use.







  • students were arrested under their watch, a key demographic for them in a tight race. Students are often motivated canvassers. Their response to the outcry? There must be order. Get bent biden/harris.

    Yes and most people support that. They see you as more unhinged than the anti-police protestors and think Trump must be onto something with demolishing the DoE if the nation students are protesting for who they see as Islamist terrorists.

    they lost 25 electoral points in two fucking swing states directly related to this. In literal numbers codified in the outcome.

    Source?

    they completely fucking ignored the economic issues caused by corporate greed

    Yeah that’s socialism. They already lost the Latino vote by being too socialist. The electorate wants tax breaks for Kelogg’s CEO.

    Sigh. You didnt do well in math did you? Tell me where did the 20 million votes for biden last time go?

    Some of them probably to Trump.

    Trumps numbers are unchanged.

    Are you an idiot? You’re implying that these are the exact same people just because the numbers are roughly the same?

    Biden convinced a lot of swing voters due to COVID.

    Never mind the fucking fact most adults dont vote.

    Source?

    And token handle the rest of your nonsense with the polling numbers.

    Token handle? Like JRR Tolkien? Did you have a stroke?

    FYI: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fp2jwdarksy0e1.png

    The vote count was roughly the same. Many dem voter swinged to Trump because they want a far-right ethnostate ruled by thugs and criminals.
