Gee, maybe it’s because we’re talking about a group that’s extremely vulnerable, a group that a lot of people are determined to commit democide against. Even if you feel how you feel for completely innocent reasons, it’s reasonable for people to assume otherwise. Lots of extremists start out sounding vaguely reasonable.
If you think we don’t have a lot of institutional and popular support for right-authoritarianism, I don’s know what country you’ve been living in the last 20 years. Who’s going to stop him? The Democrats? The party that’d bring a policy paper to a gunfight? I hope I’m wrong and things are as rosy as you think. But I won’t bet my life on it.
Bold of you to assume I took the time to read the other stuff he posted. And ignoring trolls doesn’t actually do much to discourage them, ime. So I’ll keep doing as I please, thanks.
I’m sure. I mostly use that term for accuracy, because I don’t believe language will change minds on this issue.
Clearly, you didn’t read my post. Hard to spend years in therapy and not know fuck-all about it. I never said don’t go to therapy. I said don’t expect miracles. Therapy is good, but it’s not a solution to structural issues.
That’s good and healthy. All I’m saying is that therapy won’t fix the problems underlying this. It can be useful in processing, but I’m tired of people acting like therapy will solve structural problems.
You sweet summer child. Ground-up grassroots candidates (in the US, at least) are usually crushed before you even know their names. Always have been. We’d have to have a completely different system for them to even be in the running. It’s designed that way.
I’m sure that’s what they taught you in civics class. If you don’t think politicians play political games, I have a lovely bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Even if every campaign closed due to lack of funds, what exact day they close and who they endorse are up for grabs, and that can make a very big difference.
Handling the toddlers on the train while the train’s still headed off a climate cliff is not as impressive as you seem to think.
Ah yes, I always just defer to existing ethics law instead of discussing whether change is necessary when judges act in ways that are contrary to an interest in justice.
No, because the word “females”as applied to humans has some pretty gross connotations. And not everyone with a functional uterus is female. Intersex people exist.
