Don't skip the insane footnotes, everyone!


quote:

[7] Communism promised to be both morally and economically superior to capitalism, but every attempt became morally corrupt and an economic failure. As it became clear that the working class of the liberal democracies wasn’t going to overthrow their “capitalist oppressors,” the Marxist intellectuals transitioned from class warfare to gender and race politics. The core oppressor-oppressed dynamics remained, but now the oppressor is the “white, straight, cis-gendered patriarchy.”

Hmm. Yes. A unapologeticly capitalist and publicly traded corporation that takes in 90 billion a year of revenue mostly from advertising is... Actually being puppeted by failed Marxist intellectuals who who want to stamp out all the smart straight white dudes because they're bitter about losing.. the cold war? gently caress if I know.

In highly progressive environments, conservatives are a minority that feel like they need to stay in the closet to avoid open hostility. We should empower those with different ideologies to be able to express themselves.

literally a robot posted:

I’ve heard several calls for increased empathy on diversity issues. While I strongly support trying to understand how and why people think the way they do, relying on affective empathy—feeling another’s pain—causes us to focus on anecdotes, favor individuals similar to us, and harbor other irrational and dangerous biases. Being emotionally unengaged helps us better reason about the facts.

Haha, it just keeps getting better

nah it was that the arguments were all bad 2003-2007 nonsense, like literally just the worst ones. meanwhile their current phone is an out of date android that hangs reading text messages. the solution is buy a nonshit android but convincing a cheap android user to do so is like trying to douse the sun
