Jesus, every single post is made by the same person.

So the responsibility lies with the person who wasn’t thick-skinned, and not with the (likely) hundreds of people who tormented them, got it.

Being sensitive and deeply affected by the treatment one receives from others is a normal human trait. It’s not a moral failing. In fact, the world would be a better place with more sensitivity.

It’s interesting how so many people won’t criticize the bad actors, but easily criticize those on the receiving end of this behavior.

Amen. As a millennial I’ve lost count of the times I’ve heard that WW3 is starting. Every time shit pops off in the Middle East (almost always thanks to the good ol’ US of A) the media starts handwringing and people start panicking.

But even if we do end up in a world war, the world won’t stop turning. People with bombs raining down on them still need to go to work and cook dinner and pay their bills.

War has always been a reality for someone somewhere in the world. But if/when it’s our turn, we’re so self-centered we think that it’s the actual apocalypse.

All we can do is keep working to make life better for each other. Even though shit is pretty bleak for everyone with late stage capitalism and climate change, it’s not nearly the worst thing any group of people have ever experienced.

So you can give up, or you can embrace radical nihilism and choose to cling to any scrap of joy you can find while working to make things better, even if it’s just the tiniest bit.

In the grand scheme of human history, western civilization as we know it is a tiny blip. It’s incredible that we’re here to witness this moment. If nothing else, let sheer curiosity and spite drive you to keep going.

Is it fascist to acknowledge that Harris planned to continue supporting Israel’s genocide?

You literally used the term “dunk on” like three comments ago. A bit hypocritical to criticize the use of slang, don’t you think?

If you think of the democratic party as first and foremost a fundraising organization, their actions start to make sense.

Here is how the Dutch say Gouda, with Van Gogh thrown in as a bonus.

Or Gouda. For extra fun while you’re there, pronounce Gouda the way it’s typically said in English and watch the Dutchies flinch as little parts of their soul leave their bodies.

So you haven’t contributed anything of use. Gotcha.

Lol she’s an academic who has undoubtedly contributed to the body of historical knowledge on the this topic and has written this article which will reach tens of thousands of people, but you’re calling her a coward who won’t help fight fascism… What have you done, exactly?

If I ever find myself in that kind of serfdom without a dime in my pocket, I will put on my shoes and start walking.

…Okay Denmark.

Is $47 considered a good deal in the states nowadays? Before I left (2015) I was paying about $80/month.

Now I’m in the Netherlands and I pay $7/month. I don’t remember what my plan is but it’s something like 8gb data and more minutes/SMS than I could ever use.

Cell/internet/TV plans are a total racket in the US.

Lol are you saying that their deaths are inevitable?

Ideally the US would, you know, stop sending weapons and condemn Israel’s actions, while putting pressure on other countries to do the same. At the very least.

Yes I’m well aware of these things. My point was that it’s a little silly to believe Harris would have been better purely on the basis that she wouldn’t develop the land for personal profit after helping facilitate the complete eradication of a people.

I don’t think that’s what you personally believe, but it was not super clear from your original comment.

Yes, the real problem here is the real estate development and not the deaths of millions of people.

The RFK Jr episodes also led me to believe that RFK Jr is probably not as neurotypical as he probably wants to think.

Which is not surprising considering the amount of hatred and seething rage that some unrecognized neurodivergent people (primarily low support needs) have for anyone exhibiting neurodivergent traits.

After years of social rejection (especially by family) and being denied support, many neurodivergent people learn to mask their traits at all costs. So when they see others openly express their traits or receive accommodations, it can feel deeply triggering, even infuriating. This resentment often fuels a cycle of shame and suppression that repeats across generations in ND families

Most of the late-diagnosed autistics/ADHDers in my circle have experienced abuse from undiagnosed autistic/ADHD parents. These parents, having been forced to mask their traits due to less obvious support needs, often harshly suppress the same traits in their children to avoid stigma.

Some people who’ve struggled want to ease the path for others; others believe everyone should struggle as they did. The latter are the ones who go on to try to abuse their kids (and sometimes a whole country) out of being neurodivergent.

Also, the term Asperger’s was coined in Nazi Germany to help determine which patients with autism (back then considered a subgroup of schizophrenia) were fit for labor camps and which were destined for death camps.

Which is part of the reason we don’t use the label Asperger’s anymore.
