I just can’t imagine why any of those things rule out sleeping unburdened by clothes.

I suppose I understand if you’re sleeping in the same room as 2 people you’re not dating. But not if you have a separate room in an apartment or have sex with the other person in the bed.

Is this one of those weird American prudishness things?

Lol oops. I have no specific thoughts on pacificism, truth be told.

It’s important to question your beliefs when presented with evidence. My views on pacificism have loosened a lot, for example.

But the two view you mention are ones where the left is objectively correct. Homosexual behavior is a biological fact in almost all animals and non-binary gender systems exist across the breadth of human cultures.

Any belief system which serves as a permission structure for brutalizing others can safely be rejected as false.

Domestic violence is within a family, especially spouses, femicide is “when women and girls are killed because of their gender”, to quote the article.

It’s insane to think “only some fascism” is a viable electoral platform. The “all the fascism” minority won’t support you and the “no fascism” majority will stay home again.

Newsom is just another short sighted coward happy to watch the poors suffer as long as his seat is comfortable.

It’s such an American reaction to want to end all existence across an entire solar system because an American president is corrupt.

They definitely have not. Not publicizing a fool proof nuclear counter-measure defeats the purpose of achieving it in the first place.

You’d MUCH rather your opponent know a nuke strike is pointless, rather than they try and later be surprised that only one lucky one got through.

Prosecuting and jailing fascists for the crimes they commit is a requirement for fighting fascism. Here in the US I’m just not convinced yet that Dems are willing to break the taboo on jailing the rich.

Sometimes I miss australia.

Oh lol, oops! Organism, as I’m sure is pretty clear, but I’ll leave it since it’s funnier that way.

This plan is part of our fascist regime’s ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign. Send non whites to death camps and bring in more white supremacists.

This is factually incorrect though. All human language is natural language. We’re an orgasm that has human style language as one of it’s traits.

It doesn’t really make sense to say that birds don’t naturally sing because they teach their children, or that ape gestures and calls are just made up. Incidentally we share a lot of those gestures, showing that human communication systems emerge from the natural processes of evolution.

sin is religious bullshit anyway

Yep, that’s why I used the word.

Suggesting that “people are idiots” actually explains behavior is just like believing in sin - it’s just giving up on understanding reality. It makes as much sense as a right wing christian trying explain away their opponents as sinners.

Anything that isn’t designed to overwhelming benefit the rich is gonna go. That way if you want anything in this world, you have to be born rich or beg the rich for it.

Be too useless to merit a doppelganger. To paraphrase zhuangzi, few know the usefulness of uselessness.

Australia has compulsory voting, parties with only minority support can’t win by suppressing turnout.

Sin is never a sufficient explanation for human behavior. Meaning anytime we think “it’s because they are bad”, we’re missing something big.

All behavior is an attempt to meet needs. Any correct explanation of behavior identifies the need and how the behavior is believed to meet it.

They may not be smart, on average as a group. But that’s not why they keep doing this.

Identities with more rigorous behavior requirements often persist longer. It seems counter-intuitive but the greater the buy-in required, the more appealing the identity seems to be.

In some weird and deeply human way, displaying your devotion to these doomed and unreasonable defenses probably increases the individual’s status among their sovereign peers. That’s the payoff that we don’t see when we only look at the financial and legal costs.

“Proto” usually implies that it’s a stage that may develop into the thing, not yet the thing. Whereas “early” implies it’s recently become the thing. Or at least that’s how I usually hear them used, and what I meant.

Do you know how hard it is to go broke when you have that much money? If we pretend his estimated net worth is all cash and earns 5% annually, that over $40m a day from doing nothing.

His wealth needs to be taken from him, for the good of the world.
