- Comment on If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA? 5 days ago:
Well, a few things…
First and foremost, all authority is derived from a threat of force. Let’s just get that out of the way.
Second, the “agreement” not to use that force on our own citizens has been steadily blurred by an increasingly militarized police force. What we’ve been seeing in terms of civil unrest in this country is the inevitable result of that. The police in this country have turned themselves into an occupying force.
Third, conservative media has been gradually instilling a desire for violence in conservative culture. They’ve been doing this for decades. They’ve been playing the same familiar tropes that enable cultures to engage in the practice of othering, which makes them ambivalent to the idea of violence being inflicted on people outside of their cultural identity.
Lastly, Trump doesn’t give a shit about this, and neither do conservative representatives. Outright flagrant dishonesty is a pillar of cultural conservatism. Never believe what they are saying. They have a set of rules and protections that they apply to others, and an entirely different set that they apply to everyone else.

Sad as fuck that you need expensive set pieces to maintain the facade of your self worth. If I were over here wearing a Timex I’d still be fine with who I was. Would you?

The conservative grifter accounts they mainline told them to be mad. They act mad like good little doggies. That’s about all there is to it.
- Comment on Is it weird to sometimes wonder wether everything you know is wrong? 4 weeks ago:
Right or wrong is rarely as binary as you seem to be imagining. It’s a spectrum. Alignment with reality is contingent upon a habit of seeking better information. If better information comes along, any intellectually healthy person should be willing to accept it and integrate it into their understanding of the world.
Also - cultivate a habit of knowing that it’s ok to be wrong. Your beliefs don’t define you as much as HOW you choose to shape your beliefs.
We have pattern-seeking brains that instinctually crave a sense of certainty that rarely exists in reality. We always have to be aware of that. We also live in a society that unfortunately reinforces this tendency.
Don’t strive to be “right.” Strive to be well-informed.

No one said that we were relying on the government to carry out justice.

Congrats on taking care of your garbage.

I implore you, as an American who has witnessed the generational devastation that has resulted from the Reagan presidency, throw anyone who says that into the middle of the fucking Pacific.
- Comment on Is it true that femboys are "fetishized" by right-wingers or something like that? Or is my friend(who told me this) tripping balls? 1 month ago:
They’re about as fetishized as cuckolding is in right wing circles. The way those dorks toss that term around tells me enough to know that a lot of them are harboring a deep-seated desire to watch some dude rail their wife like they never could.
