Because it's about as communist as natsoc is socialism.

Most straightforward answer with least inflammatory language. You win the internet.
- Comment on What is the origin of the whole "X destroys and humilates Y" genre of debate videos? 10 hours ago:
Debates aren't pointless, it is public discourse with what is meant to be guardrails unintentionally becoming skewers. One would hope someday people again appreciate decorum and evidence based discourse, with time out for more research when needed, again.

Maybe Freud in his primitive way, was onto something. Pioneers are rarely a finished masterpiece of their art or science. My question is, what is the purpose of this post and how does this public shaming of this particular human psychological experience benefit public discourse, or public materiality?

Every number is infinite; there is no difference. - Comment on Four arrested after photo of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein projected onto Windsor Castle 1 day ago:
Callousness is a poor facade to thin skin. Personality disordered people have deep, festering wounds that have never been properly addressed. Hurting others is a coping mechanism that releases pressure, momentarily, but doesn't address the cause. That's what cutting attempts, but it's directed at others, rather than self. Psychologically, it's the difference between lancing a cyst and squeezing out the ick without getting the sac that contains it, so it's never really gone - but the ick is now on others.

That's enlightening. I'm not interested anymore, thanks.

If we were evolved enough to breathairianism, I'm down. And I eat meat. I think when we realize how abundant resources really are and hoarding isn't a problem so we can equitably share, we could make real progress. Lady justice is depicted holding ⚖️, not weapons.

"All men are created equal”?
Ideals are easier to have than live. But Jesus Christ the brutality... There were abolitionists alongside them.
Still. I'm glad the thread was posted. I don't want to debate. A conversation maybe.

Liberals literally founded the United States and counted humans as "property."

Go far enough left and keep your guns but mental health seriously needs real spending, real solutions that are actually enacted. Fully funded, comprehensive health care, including mental, would solve most of our problems. Not overnight. But I guess within five years, the results would be astounding.

Fascists call left wingers fascists rather frequently.

OP, I'm very sorry that you and your loved ones are facing this, it's a terribly daunting diagnosis. I'm 100% for bodily autonomy and believe this is entirely between you, possibly your supportive loved ones.
I won't say you should drag out unnecessary suffering so others will be more comfortable. I feel you should make whatever decision is right for you. Please look into locations with death with dignity laws, and get something in writing pretty quickly. If you're in the USA, you may have to plan for residence elsewhere, because our autonomy is rapidly being constricted.
Again, I'm terribly sorry, and wish you and your loved ones the best you can make of the situation.

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs, I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment, I am happy
Happy
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here - Comment on Death to the spiders 3 weeks ago:
A former neighbor got bitten by one and had a sizable chunk of necrotized flesh removed. I was terrified for about a year but I got over it. I usually just catch spiders and carry them outside now, but I'm pretty sure if I see a recluse and recognize it, it's a goner.

Tesla. I feel there's so much we don't know, let alone understand, about his ideas. Have we overly sane/crazy washed him?
