Ok, lets apply the paradox of tolerance to islamic views on women and lgbtq people. I remember clinton meeting with the taliban while everyone thought ferengi were hilarious. Im that old. and modern misogyny is no fucking surprise. They called the misogynistic ads ironic, and sending kids child porn was ironic, and 4chan racism was ironic. None of it was ironic and the stupid assholes in society have only been strengthened by the internet. Freedom of speech allowed nazis to walk the streets of america and now you have the result.

Before election:

Fuck Kamala

After election:

Fuck Kamala

You got anything to say about what's actually happening?

Does imagining everyone that is locked behind bars as a violent rapist make you feel safe?

No, the vast majority never go to prison. I gave it as an example, i dont think you are pro rape. It's just an example of incarcarating people in order to protect society. I believe that protecting people is the primary goal of incarceration. Better rehabilitation would obviously help this endeavour. I disagree completely with the idea of no incarceration as this would allow violence to flourish with no protection for those under threat.

Lets discuss freeing violent rapists.

No.

The democrats lost, the war is over, im australian but you americans had better get it together fast because your opposition is killing you. Stop arguing about the past and fight for the future. Seriously. The best i can hope for right now is that the USA goes so badly wrong that even your average bogan Aussie votes left. Kamala is such old news, focusing on her is a distraction that seems designed to let the broligarchy slide.

Trump won but you're still arguing about Harris. Weird as fuck. Do you have anything relevant to say? Picking on the democrats is so last election.

I read that book and it felt like satire, but apparently this extreme belief in gender differences is the norm and im a freak.

Im ok with that, but i do raise it to make the point that some of us just dont see your sex/gender as particularly important information and anyone changing their gender is a massive threat to the status quo beleif that such things are not only natural and right but the basis for who you are and how to interact with you.

I remember people calling for sex/gender to be declared as part of your reddit profile. This is why, they cant interact with people as humans, they need a sex/gender to tell them how. It's very disturbing to me.

I tried to read the wheel of time once and what i learned is that gender is the ultimate defining factor in some peoples lives. It is their whole defining principle in interacting with others. Everything about you is a direct consequence of your sex. Mess with sex/gender and you destroy their entire way of interacting with humans. Hunans dont exist for them, only men and women. The sexes are actually incapable of communication or cooperation of any kind. Effectively different species. This makes trans people a literal impossibility. A leopard cannot become an attack helicopter. A trans person threatens their world view in a fundamental way.

These people also want control of everything, probably due to inability to cope with anything they don't understand, which is a lot. I don't understand being trans, but i undetstand the right to health and happiness and i wish it for you.

Never let a bad assassination attempt go to waste. Imagine being sent back in time to stop hitler and giving him a shot in the ear.

I'm sorry you lost a friend, life is hard

Michael Jackson never felt real so his death didn't change anything for me, and he was no Bowie

It's the best selling shooooow Is there life on Maaaarrraarss

So they're free within their 1ft square.. As i said, marketing bullshit designed to confuse. Fuck that shit.

I've been told my whole life, by men, that I can't go out at night alone, because men, but if I say it it's forbidden, because woman. Explain.

Edit: Downvoters cannot explain lmao

I've been told my whole life tbat i can't go out at night alone because it 's unsafe. Why is it unsafe? Because there are men out there. Apparently it's ok for the men in my life to say other men are dangerous but it's not ok for me to say that men are dangerous. A plague on both your houses. You are all unsafe.

I don't know what cage free means but I do know it's marketing speak designed to tempt me away from free range. Not buying it.

I googled turn off the fucking ai and the overviews are now gone. I'm surprised it's that easy to turn off.

I make a stew like this and the secret ingredient is teriyaki sauce. I very much recommend it.

26 years ago I felt inexplicable happiness for 2 solid hours. Turned out to be PMS. I still remember that feeling and have never had it again.

Cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort people experience when holding conflicting cognitions. It is a signal that our thinking doesn't make sense and we need to change something to make that feeling go away. It is not hypocrisy or having contradictory thoughts. It's a feeling we all experience. IMO exploring our cognitive dissonance is a useful way to better critical thinking. The people you are talking about are probably not experiencing cognitive dissonance as they have long since rationlised it away.
