Drag is saying that depressed people should “just believe” which is much crazier than saying depressed people should “just believe in evidence”.
People do not need to believe in what drag is saying without evidence, because that evidence exists, so they can just as easily believe in it WITH evidence.
No? I’m depressed, too.
Let me do the same stupid shit drag just did.
Is that your advice to depressed people who think life is hopeless? Belief in things without having real evidence?
My point is that drag came to the wrong conclusion.
Drag doesn’t have to explain depression to me.
If Drag understood the evidence, then it sounds like the conclusion Drag should come to is not to baselessly believe in things without evidence, but rather to make a better use of context to rid dragself of blindness caused by anecdotal evidence.
Well, the problem with this line of thinking is that we do have empirical evidence that depressed people DO get better by making a huge effort to get better.
Drag had anecdotal evidence, which is incredibly weak evidence.
Drag may have had baseless belief in something and it worked out, but my point is, the evidence WAS available to support that point.
I’m sorry, do you think that non minorities are going to suffer in a way that is even close to the additional harm this is going to cause to minorities? Are you dumb?
Idk if this is the same guy, but iirc someone did an interview tell-all where they basically came clean and admitted to all the fucked up shit they helped their administration do.
So yeah, undoubtedly ew, but I’m guessing that’s what they’re talking about.
lol mad at video game

I think maybe you don’t realize that at no point did anybody say or imply in any way that Iroh was not a war criminal. You keep arguing that like it’s your main point of contention, but no one ever said that. The original comment was saying “he didn’t “get away” with war crimes by being cute. He “got away” with them by performing a huge heel turn.”
That is what you responded, but for some reason, you were arguing something completely irrelevant to the conversation.
The commenter they were responding to literally mentioned the FDA. The US Federal Drug and Safety Administration.
You are genuinely in the midst of a mental health issue at this point. Please just take a step back from this specific argument thread, just the one between us, and take a deep breath. I’m sorry I riled you up so bad.
I don’t care about this argument anymore, keep doing what you want, I hope you’ll realize that engaging in public humilitation on the behalf of anticapitalist ideals is counterproductive to normalizing them.
And… again… I didn’t say I support steam or Gaben. See how you’re using strawman tactics on people that agree with you? That’s what makes us look like idiots. You’re doing a great job, bud.
I’m not playing the victim, I’m pointing out why your rhetoric is counterproductive and bad optics. If you want actual change to occur, you’re going to have to fix that. Or you can just keep making things worse, if you really want to. Go for it. It’s really worked out for you well so far, hasn’t it?
So drag somehow thinks that believing in nothing is easier than believing in proven fact?
