So what you're saying is, we all gotta just wank it like mad to get it out of our system?

That's your reward for being good! You get to rape your dad and have his kid!

You get a dagger in Europe, but their PhD programs are generally shorter and less difficult, so you need the knife to get back to parity with American PhDs. (Personally I think the entire concept is borderline a scam, but whatever.)

Only if you keep reminding people that Medicare for All would be cheaper than our current system.

Oh trust me, I understand how fascism and these sorts of things works. The vast majority of people will be surprised if the US experiences some kind of genocide or civil war. But that's just it, the average person has a hard time seeing it coming, so you can't raise the alarm on things that seem innocuous. They'll think you're crazy. You have to point at the really fucked up stuff happening right now so they can imagine what would happen if those people got their way.

In any case, we still have time to change course, and this post would be a good one for getting people politically organized and fighting that way, since they have a hard time understanding how this sort of thing leads to violence.

Lol I agree with you, but there's other posts in here that will get you better traction than this one. I recently saw one about a lawmaker proposing a national registry of pregnant people. That one would have an audience more amendable to the point that they really do want to dominate and exterminate their enemies.

Though effective opposition requires organization, armed or not. The organizations that would be used for armed resistance when necessary are only marginally different from the organizations fighting for positive change within the system right now.

While it's to true that we too often talk about groups of people like they're individuals, it's also true that very few people actually bother to have underlying principles for their opinions, much less stick to those principles when they get in the way of a short-term goal.

Yeah I whitelist as much as I can, but the default is to block because there will be sites that I visit once that would be unusable otherwise. If I find myself visiting more than once, I turn off the ad blocker to see if the site is still usable. If it's not, sorry, no ad revenue for you, shitty site.

Yeah I actually hear they're a shit company, but the idea that they're somehow pulling one over on the people who donate is fucking rich.

Oh I never bothered to refute you calling me a liar, but this is the top comment in this thread. That's what everything is based around.

I dunno if you can see it through the mod log or whatever, but the person was basically like "yeah, that happened."

Anyway, being disingenuous is an exhausting way to live life. You gotta keep track of all the bullshit you're spewing so you can keep up the facade. It's a million times easier to just be a straightforward person. Nevermind that that's just a shitty way to bem

Like I'm gonna fucking spend my time trying to sell my old t-shirts for $2.

The fucking DREAM.

Dude you just made-up a whole-ass situation and told me what I'd do. I'm dying over here.

I'm going to have to assume you're talking about women abusing their male partners, since it would a clean gender flip for that sort of thing. That shit is a real problem! Male victims of abuse routinely get laughed out of police stations when they try and report their partner, and that's if the cops don't accuse them of being the real abuser.

Further example:

He's a Jew.

He's a Jew.

Bruh, we're in sma thread where someone denied the possibility of men being irrationally aggressive. I'm merely counting and saying that, no, that is a thing that happens sometimes. If they had also claimed women can't be irrationally aggressive I would have addressed that, too.

Aggressive men exist ≠ only men can be aggressive. This is why we teach a small amount of formal logic in school.

Every time someone brings up gas prices I'mma just be like: "you know where the cheapest gas prices are? Electricity."

I know for sure he's doing the infrastructure part, but I'm not paying close enough attention to say anything about the other two.

Nah that's definitely body armor. I think it's an oversized plate vest but she's running, it's all black, and I'm shit at identifying such things.

You have to establish dominance. She already said you can't be weak and gay. One or the other, but not both.
