  • Yeah except for the fact that they are causing very real damage to POC and LGBTQ people. So let’s be very clear here. Conservatives are not intentionally hateful and can be nice and kind if you are a straight white Christian. If you aren’t in the in group though they can and will turn on you even if they tolerate you. Because conservative ideology is one fundamentally founded on hate and oppression.


  • Conservatives are entirely driven by prejudice and to maintain power structures. Conservative ideology was literally created by English and French aristocrats who saw the writing on the wall for the monarchy and nobility and needed to ensure that the aristocracy continue to be in charge. Today they serve to ensure that white cishet men remain in power. We absolutely 1000% do not need conservatives in society. This both sides are valid nonsense only serves to further entrench power structures and oppress minorities




  • Perhaps because even after they lost the slaves they were still rich as fuck and powerful. And then they passed laws to still enslave black people and fuck them over so shit didn’t really change all that much. Think about how much better life would be today if every slave owner and klansman were put to death for their heinous crimes instead of slapped on the wrist and given back control of their slaves


  • Bro what part of a revolution do you not understand. The people saying this stuff are communists and leftists. After a revolution there won’t be stocks left to own or corporations. The whole point of communist revolution is to seize the companies and desolve the capitalist institutions. Surely you understand this no?




  • The anime is called New Game and it’s honestly really fucking good. As a developer who dabbles in game dev it’s honestly pretty true to life and accurate in many ways. I’m usually more of a action anime guy but my wife introduced this one to me and I loved it. It stopped after 2 seasons because they used up all the material but the manga recently released enough chapters that we could get a season 3 so hopefully the anime studio decides to pick it back up again.


  • It’s not just you meditation is really scary and hard for lots of people because being alone with your thoughts is really fucking scary especially when you are already on the verge of no longer wanting to live. A key part of the process however is realizing that you are not your emotions or your fears. That you are something fundamentally different than those and that you can place distance between yourself and how you feel. And that distance allows you to observe without internalizing. It’s really fucking hard but honestly it’s so good for you. Just start small. And like the other poster said talking about it helps.


  • I see this answer given a lot on reddit when this paradox is brought up so I’ll post it here too. There is no paradox of tolerance because tolerance is not a rule but a social contract. When someone is intolerant they have violated said social contract and thus are no longer covered by it and are not granted tolerance. We tolerate those who tolerate others.
