Comment on What would happen if I just drove straight south to Mexico?
tisktisk@piefed.social 2 days agoI 100% believe you about your hardships--I don't deny the truth of any of your very real and serious struggles.
I've only encountered a single trans person irl, and it was a pretty bad experience for me because I was their assigned supervisor that ended up being the one having to deal with a lot of hormonal mood-swings during and after the transition wreaking havoc on team morale. I could let this one bad experience permanently tilt my outlook in much the same way you have with your unfortunate job/boss experiences. It would be emotionally easy and arguably reasonable to do so, but I refuse because I believe staying open-minded is critically important to growth and development.
I never said I didn't believe you, I just believe that evil exists only in the eyes that see evil everywhere.

This honestly has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read. You cannot seriously believe this, right?

It's a sloppy rework of a Hegel quote--you have my most favorite lemmy comment prole:
I really love the beauty of a prole calling a hegel quote the dumbest thing ever in any context.
But if you wanted a serious answer, yes--Doesn't any modern worthwhile philosopher have to engage with Hegel's thought in some dimension?

I’m aware you didn’t come up with it, but I could not care less that Hegel said it. It’s fucking stupid.

I think it means lumpenprole would be a better name lol
You have impressed me yet again tho--if you ever seriously engage with Marx's inspirations, please return with how your views changed on this very core Hegel quote. Until then, I hope you find peace:D
