DO IT

Lol quite the Freudian slip.

It’s only insane if you don’t understand fascism. “Deport all the immigrants” = ethnically cleanse America.

Wild to consider the country with the largest highspeed rail network on earth “developing.”

Hmm rotating shift work… Was this at prototype, by chance?

Why would he start there when he makes so much money off of defense contracts through SpaceX?

“Yes, the USSR performed atrocities, but the fact that the west has as well excuses that.”

It’s not like those are the only two instances of human rights violations by the USSR, and they’re infamous for lying about numbers.

Misery is not s competition. You don’t have to pick sides. There can be more than one violent authoritarian regime in the world, they can all be bad, and you can oppose all of them. There’s really no reason to defend any imperial powers.

What a fantastic opportunity for me to rant:

This is how literally everything is. The individualistic urge to celebrate specific people has always escaped me because like, nobody does great things alone. There always teams of engineers, interns, students, personal support networks, and an endless slue of people you can credit discovery with depending on how mercurial you want to be. The only thing that highlighting individuals does is create negative side effects. People who try to go it alone and fail start to believe they failed because of personal inadequacy rather than a lack of support and resources. Celebrated individuals loose sight of the contributions of those around them and become overly invested in their own intellectualism. Uncelebrated individuals doing important work become discouraged and may change fields.

Awards have even been specifically created with the expressed purpose of dividing groups. Famously, the Oscars were created to create a sense of elitism amongst actors and separate them from the other industries that worked in film. This resulted in film industry unions loosing their most effective spokes people.

Anyways that’s why individualism is a plague. You’re individuality is important, but no discovery was made without the efforts of countless colleagues and predecessors. Nobody does anything in a vacuum.

And don’t even get me started on the biology of community. We’re built to work together.

You can travel without spending a lot of money, people call it backpacking.

It’s what’s left over from refined sugar!

He choose … Poorly…

Only bad dragons 😉

Noooooo I want the empire that hides all the bad things they do so I don’t have to think about it while I drive my SUV and buy Starbucks!!! /s

The good news is in party fighting is s good sign that they won’t be able to consolidate power as quickly or completely as they wanted to. The bad news is, they now know who to come for on the night of long knives.

Protesters: “Stop genocide, give us equitable pay, give women rights”

This guy: “Those people are insane depraved fascists”

Lol grow up you fragile vase of a person.

This guy reads.

Also don’t forget that a considerable number of the users that would engage in a debate with you are either children or bots.

End? It was always a myth?

Came here to say this. They make a joke about how many adds are on the Internet in an episode of Futurama that aired in 2000.

I used to be like this, but it was a social anxiety thing. People say wrong and insulting things all the time without loosing friends. The key is keeping an open mind and being willing to admit when you’re wrong. If your intentions weren’t to cause harm, most people will forgive your faux pas.
