You should stop contradicting yourself to keep getting to lib bash without feeling responsible for drawing the wrong people in.

Once again, a movement based on exclusion is never going to achieve legitimacy.
- Comment on Funny, those guys don't usually agree on that much 2 days ago:
Having a fight over who is or isn’t allowed in left spaces instead of having the discussion about leftist policy is what got the left where it is in today’s political discussion.
Defining a movement by who’s not allowed in it leaves you without any ability to get anywhere legitimately.

Ask all the white self proclaimed leftists who insist that the solution to Biden being soft on israel is to let back into office the guy who handed them East Jerusalem, The Golan Heights, and The West Bank.
If the zionists don’t kill me for being a Palestinian, the white leftists are gonna get me killed letting the people who wanna openly call me a sand nigger feel safe because the alternative is actually doing something other than going to a high optics protest or “more leftist than thou” posting online.

Lib bashing in left spaces is the mating cry of the tanky
It might be cathartic every so often, but too much makes the wrong people feel safe.

Surplusable farming is literally the basis on which all civilization is built
Like the whole point of the way things work for us now is that you don’t have to be a farmer or a hunter or a gatherer to be able to have access to a consistent source of food.

MFW they invent an Elektra complex to make it gender equal
She didn’t even do that! She was trying to avenge her father! Why not name it after one of those girls from the old testament that drugged and raped their dad to get prego? Sounds a lot more like what a woman with a dangerous sexual fixation would do too.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 5 days ago:
In fairness divorce rates are high because of young people getting divorced because they realized they shouldn’t have gotten married while they were still growing out of their early adulthood.
The only reason arranged marriage societies seem to have a higher success rate is because divorce is rare since who someone gets married to is often determined by family standing and the party who wants a divorce is often browbeaten into compliance to not jeopardize the benefit of that marriage tie.
Were divorce not so stigmatized that you yourself literally cited it as a failure metric of love marriages, arranged marriage societies would likely see even higher divorce rates than love match societies, as love match societies will exhibit low to moderate social pressure to seek marriage, while arranged match societies can feature families shopping suitors as soon as the kid hits legal age of consent, and maybe even before then if they’re especially sprung on controlling their kids’ life.
US divorce rates would be cut down by requiring a prenup to get a marriage license. Arranged marriage societies would see marriages and families implode across the land if abused spouses ever felt reasonably safe that they could divorce without being ruined for it either by their family, the courts, or the vigilante lynch mob their STBX calls up in retaliation for them trying to escape.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 5 days ago:
In a less individualistic society the benefit a family gains by curating who an individual member can wed is seen as well worth it to occasionally have to emotionally and sometimes even physically beat them into submission because they genuinely hate their partner.

I mean my parents raised me and my sibling when they were that much older and I’d say the two of us are a sight more well adjusted than a significant number of highschool sweetheart honeymoon babies that are running around.
The point is that it’s not the age, it’s the character of the parent that matters most.
- Comment on Language 6 days ago:
Plus it was based on a complete misunderstanding of how the Hopi language works. He basically declared that they don’t have the concept of time, which later linguists pretty succinctly debunked with some basic experimenting.
What that showed out was that speakers of a language will rarely lack a concept altogether that would affect their way of understanding the world around them, but they will have different linguistic tools that reframe their understanding of that concept specifically, so for example a lot of languages that don’t distinguish blue from green or see other groups of colors under the same word, will have those basic color words, but then also have some differentiation via modifying the word for specificity. So it’s not that they don’t understand the difference, they just don’t see the difference as significant enough to warrant them being labelled distinctly.
Orange as a distinct color is relatively new for example, they’re called red heads because at that time orange was seen as just a shade of red.

Meh, my cousin didn’t have his first kid until he was in his 40s, ya got plenty of time to figure out, for example, if you even want a partner and kids, or if you just see those as milestones ya gotta tap to not disappoint people around you.

- Comment on Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together? 1 week ago:
Not splitting the profits, tracking bills, making sure they’re all paid on time, making sure the company is getting paid on time depending on your business plan, tracking any special taxes you gotta pay, tracking price increases in long term contracts, list goes on
- Comment on Can somebody explain why game makers don't start their own companies together? 1 week ago:
Employee owned companies are more stable in economic downturns but they also require much more diversification to replace the owner/manager roles where there is actually shit to do. Big item being the book keeping.
- Comment on the ologies don't like to talk about theo 1 week ago:
Jesus isn’t sacrificed to God he’s sacrificed to carry away original sin
The ancient ritual it’s theologically compared to is the literal origin of the idea of a scape goat. It was a sacrifice that was either driven out of town or killed with the intent that it would carry away the sins of the village
And so Jesus was “sacrificed” and in that act absolved humanity of original sin. This is VERY IMPORTANT to understand, it is why most Christians don’t practice Jewish covenant or tradition, because in Christian canon, Jesus abolished the conditions that made the covenant made by God’s people necessary. AKA “look you cool and all guys but if we want this religion to go anywhere we need to recruit people who don’t want to be circumcized to the faith, so we’re just gonna say the old law was overthrown.”
And that’s why Christians who cite leviticus to continue being terrible to queer people are in fact practicing heresy against the literal roots of the faith and ergo are open season for public burnings and stonings.
There’s actually an even more progressive interpretation here that what Jesus did wasn’t just opening the door to heaven to more than just “god’s people”, but also abolishing the concept of the sins of the father, as the ancient world was known for legal codes where you could receive punishments for crimes a family member committed.
It didn’t exactly take hold for a long while legally but there’s definitely a moral sense now that killing a man’s kids as revenge for him killing yours is well beyond the pale of justified payback.

It means that he’s fully human but also fully God.
He lived, breathed, taught, and died as a man, and just as much, lived, breathed, taught, and ascended as god made into mortal flesh.
It’s a bit more of that one actor many roles idea I’ve stated already, he’s 100% Jesus the man, and he’s also 100% the mortal face of God. It’s like how you are 100% your father’s child at the same time as you are 100% your mother’s child, you don’t stop being one or the other or shift between them as you deem needed or fit, you just are both, and in the same way, Jesus just is both.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 1 week ago:
Because the right doesn’t have a system of morals, just a list of justifications.
The center and left actually feel bad if they don’t live up to their own ideals and so try to avoid behaving in ways that run counter to those ideals unless it becomes absolutely necessary for them to do so, and even then they’ll still feel like shit for it.
See also, all those AITA posts where OP is very obviously in the right and just snapped after years of abuse, but has been gaslit hard enough to start doubting themselves because biting back just feels wrong to normal people.

Yeah like how you’re pretty clearly motivated to suck at actually spreading the message because then you get to keep your feelings of moral superiority all to yourself.

There is no positive motivation to move people away from meet. Health maybe?
Did…did you just admit that you people don’t actually believe your own propaganda about why going vegan is better?
Also, pretty objectively shame doesn’t actually do anything, lecturing at people about why they’re wrong doesn’t convince them of anything, at best they just write you off as that ass who’s lecturing at them, more often they take it as a fight signal and shut down to you completely.
