Foster care. I don’t have a leftist analysis of this. Just a lot of personal experience and bitter hatred. It’s a violent ass institution that’s rife with abuse, racism, and class warfare

is self harm at this pointTo your credit, an American who doesn’t know what wastewater treatment is is very plausible. My ego just couldn’t take it
Asmongold providing high value to society (he’s reacting to a Trump speech calling for the Baby Shredder 3000 to continue operation): “Based”
Preparing them to work for inadequate compensation since that’s legal for disabled people?
Weaponized veil of ignorance goes hard
At least I know it’s in good hands
I know what wastewater treatment is. I was just making a joke
American water is gross can confirm. It’s probably been up someone’s ass, actually
If we go from Trump/Vance to Vance/Trump and Vance resigns (yes this does seem to be their plan), liberals are already talking about running Obama again
I tried for 2 whole minutes to get AI to write in a similar style and it couldn’t figure it out
Just had a great dream
It was my birthday party and almost everyone who attended was a gender freak named Alex who I didn’t know but introduced themself with an elaborate story
Captain America pressuring a newspaperman into giving his friend positive coverage doesn’t feel very democratic to me
Won’t somebody think of the poor fascists and their right to own newspapers?
I need like $12 first. Secret capitalist rules
I’m still on it. Probably not for long but we’ll see
The reasons generally start out personal and become generalized as a political “position”, which really consumes your life after a while.
Rowling has said that she had a queer “phase” and that if she were going through that nowadays, she would likely have ended up considering herself trans (incorrectly, by her assertion). That reads to me as some internalized bigotry that she never worked through. Musk has a daughter who’s a trans woman and disowned him for being a piece of shit. He started posting about “pronouns” soon after. And Zuckerberg seems to have seen the way the winds are blowing with the current administration and jumped on the anti-trans bandwagon because he’s a lizard man with no soul (metaphorically, not in the David Icke antisemitic way). These are all guesses, but not based on nothing.
It ends up being socially unacceptable to say, “trans people remind me of my estranged daughter so I don’t like them,” and rightly so. So you have to retreat and bury the context, taking it up as a matter of principle. And your mind can backfill the justification over and over again, further cementing the ideas as people start to ask you to talk about trans people over and over again. After all, you’re a public figure who doesn’t like trans people. That’s a hot topic. People on Twitter want to talk about it. Reporters want to talk about it. So it snowballs from there. Transphobia can absolutely take over the life of a public figure.
Philosophy Tube has an excellent video on something called phantasms and how people get stuck in irrational worldviews. Would recommend.
Alright, poster, I’m revoking your right to lump yourself in with “normal” people as you clearly do not meet the requirements
Do USAGM next
Yeah this AI even censors pro-Chinese content that’s too political or controversial. It’s very much tuned for Chinese cultural sentiment.
the difference between this and free-world social media apps is that you can enforce your data rights in rule of law countries
As an American I feel like my data rights are soooo enforced by the burgerland and its Freedoms(tm)(c)(r)
Just unplugging things to see what breaks. It’s like Netflix’s chaos monkey except nothing is designed to withstand that kind of treatment so the results are horrific.
