¯_(ツ)_/¯ I can’t really speak to that. I volunteer with local mutual aid orgs because it more directly and sustainably impacts the local community.

Volunteer work is an amazing way to break cycles of isolation and loneliness. You have a shared common goal with other volunteers and you are making a collective effort to improve the lives of those less fortunate than you. Even if you walk away without having met the love of your life or whatever, at least you can feel good knowing that you helped make the world a better place and got to meet some cool, likeminded people.

How is it punching down to make fun of someone for eating bland food?
Many people who eat like this are closed minded to trying foods from other cultures because they use flavors and spices that add richness to the food that they perceive as “unsafe”. This often extrapolates out to a weird form of xenophobia.
It’s not punching down to make fun of xenophobes….

“Local leftists decides that gay people shouldn’t have human rights because their human rights don’t comport with the social progress relayed to non-western societies” is my favorite example of horseshoe theory in action. Please never break containment.

And is it social progress to you for a society to allow gay people to have civil rights?

For many, joining the US military is the only way out of poverty, a path to citizenship, or a way to a higher education. Some others just are victims of propaganda, or just genuinely sadistic, but unfortunately most of the people joining the military are victims of a failed education and social security system designed to bring more troops into the meat grinder.

Part of the issue is that everyone I know that wants to do something is scared of doing something because they’re terrified that it’s going to place targets on vulnerable members of their larger communities. A lot of trans people, black and brown people, disabled people, immigrants, and indigenous folks I know what to DO something. They’re just scared that if they do, then it’s going to only accelerate violence against their marginalized communities and the greater population isn’t going to fight for them.
Nothing is going to happen until we weaponize the cishet white dudes and get them on our side.
