• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to industrialization, bitchass⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It may be costly. It may be ineffective. And maybe I built my plantation in the least fertile place possible. And maybe I don’t know shit about farming. And maybe, possible, having slaves is a constant loss to me and my civilization.

  But damnit if I can’t use slavery to justify my racism, how will I feel like a big important man?!

  Yeah, it’s kinda dumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Differences of Opinion by Wendy Cope⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. You don’t want proof, because proof means you might have been wrong. Being wrong is mentally uncomfortable, and especially in older people who are very mentally rigid, that’s hard.

  Wait. Is that last one historical? I’d never heard it, but it seems just as accurate as “I can’t have a meal, but meals are eaten in the rectory and prepared in the kitchen. So if I take something from the pantry and eat it in my room, it’s not a meal and bacon is OK”

  And beavers and swans are, of course, also fish

  Gender swamping sounds like some kind of agender thing I’m too old to understand and will just nod along with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Carnists be like...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  with the current format of the meme no combination of words exists for them to compare and contrast humans to animals, other than “females.”

  Thats… Incredibly superficial and shows zero cultural awareness.

  One half of the meme is an abortion rights campaign phrase, which is a badly needed campaign because women don’t have that right in many places around the world. And it’s majorly opposed by conservative men. Those same men also use the term “females” to refer to women in a derogatory way.

  only when you get to the end of the text do you realise it exists for 1 messaging purpose

  This is ALSO a very common method for that exact same group to pretend their misogynist messaging is covered up when pointed out. They go “it’s not about dehumanizing women, it’s about veganism bro!” Or “that’s not the point, you’re digging too deep, keep being triggered lol”.

  This is a common method to dogwhistle their in-group.

  they could have, I suppose, opened with a woman saying “I’m sure glad I’m not artificially inseminated every nine months so milk can be harvested from my body!” Then cut to a picture of a cow in the second panel. It’s essentially the same thing.

  It’s the same surface level message. But using their misogynist worldview to carry the surface level message ALSO reinforces that worldview.

  The more you also support that framework, the more the framework is normalized. The more the framework is normalized, the easier it becomes to dehumanize and degrade women.

  And arguing about it in bad faith, which they have to, is also what happens a lot. Because when someone points out a dogwhistle, it becomes less effective.

  Everything is malformed messaging to increase it’s viral-spread quality.

  Exactly. But the viral load isn’t on the surface. Using a framework to convey normal information supports that framework. The framework is the point, the surface information is a cover.

  And using the surface info that appeals to “the enemy” is doubly effective, because it makes your enemy look deranged, scoring you a double win.

  Not all of them. Just OOP

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Carnists be like...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cows aren’t people … Duh … So that justifies the described actions?

  Correct. As we teach all 3 year olds, different things can go into different groups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but in WC3, especially in multiplayer, it was a super hard requirement. 80% of your time would be hero micro

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s hide some nebulous lore in item descriptions so youtubers can sell their head cannon as “the story”

  Don’t you know, every item comes with a little laminated card to give you some mostly-irrelevant quote!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hate the RTS+hero game in all its forms. It started with WC3, but so many are doing it now.

  But I love RTS, and I quite enjoy moba-like games. It’s just that I absolutely fucking hate the community.
