This is great!

Alternatively, simply punch the nazis

Maybe they are hungover and hate working

Being civilized means cutting off the arms of children who don’t harvest enough rubber for you or whatever

People with this white civilization hardon type of thinking are lost causes imo, fuck em

Scary hate-crime consequences aside, it is sociologically/psychologically fascinating to see cis straight men being forced to reckon with what the fuck even their sexual preferences are, what they actually entail, what the acceptable boundaries are in their mind, etc. etc.

Being mired in cultural and social norms that were decided for you before you even gained self awareness seems exhausting and tragic.

Shit take, everyone sucks here

Fun fact this was written by Elliott Kalan comedian/host of the podcast The Flophouse

Actually it is now moustaches that are back. And sometimes mullets.

Every US president has been Christian but only one has been Catholic. It is considered as a clear distinction in the US imo

This is like reading a horoscope for mental health issues.

Do people just say “type A” personality now? Or describe someone as more “passive” as opposed to “assertive”? The alpha/beta/etc terms are scientifically unreal but it’s not like people generally don’t know what is being referred to when discussing people’s general personality vibes

Hypothetically killing teenagers without remorse may socially ostracize you, yes

You might be surprised how many “intelligent” people can also be sincerely racist.

Also, I believe at least one reason people are upset with you here in this thread is because of how hard you are trying to “prove” the innocence of someone being racist, or “prove” the unreality of a system or institution being “truly/authentically” racist, when ultimately the end result is the same: pure racist outcomes. Even if somehow you could prove with full receipts that racism, as you claim, is used as a inauthentic tool for oppression, the energy you are taking up to hound this point is painfully disproportionate and misplaced, if even technically correct at all.

It is valid to criticize how our current society disproportionately economically reward STEM fields while ignoring social sciences, philosophy, anthropology, etc. and thus often creating these math nerd types who are simultaneously racist or reactionary idiots, but (assuming you’re being serious) dismissing math as “fake” only reads as very bitter

I’ve heard the idea that if men were more like women the world would be a better place (frankly still not totally unconvinced of this assertion), but her point that this particular type of submissive/docile woman that is being referenced in the aforementioned hypothetical is in fact manufactured in part by patriarchy is a great point.

In general though, feminism without class consciousness is very pernicious and from my US POV is pretty widespread among middle/upper class groups. It can be difficult to criticize because blatant misogyny is still such a common perspective here, so offering nuanced views on feminism to a bourgeois feminist can be difficult and often seen as hostile.

Respectfully, this type of thinking is beyond irritating. Do we not try and practice empathy here? Why not imagine the possibility that people can experience vastly different internal worlds than that of your own?

For real, sitting here flabbergasted by this claim. I think it is interesting though, it highlights a very specific isolated Western dominated historical worldview to assume capitalism is naturally occurring. I demand more anthropology in school!
