Why do you think it’s superior?

Desperately clinging to the illusion that USA good

You are either being dishonest or have bad reading comprehension. The OP clearly labels Trump as part of the problem, alongside Netanyahu and Khameini. They also blame Israel for escalating with Iran when talks were still ongoing. They are not saying what you claim they are.

Is this ChatGPT o3-pro?

But, like everything, context matters and I believe directing harm towards “bad” people is “good”

That’s not what bodyshaming does, though.

If you punch or kill a nazi, that harms the nazi.

If you joke about nazis compensating for having a small dick, then you are reinforcing the idea that small dicks are bad and something that needs to be compensated for. This harms people with small penises.

In addition, lots of nazis will have average or big dicks, and will find this kind of post laughable and irrelevant. It’s not even harming them.

So, this post mainly stigmatizes men with a certain body type, and not nazis. This is not good praxis.

These are not “stages”, these are just different activities. Lots of people don’t have kids, but this doesn’t make them at a lower “stage”. Not everyone wants to climb some kind of career ladder, nor does everyone respect those who do. Not everyone gets married, nor does everyone even care about marriage. People live differently – they do not progress through stages.

That’s a good point, and explains the existence of this comic. They’re anti-WN but still have some regressive attitudes.

“Bro” I am a gay man. I love small penises. This post is reinforcing stigma around small penises, by associating them with white nationalism.

It’s weird to make jokes about them. People don’t need to make up for having a small penis, because it’s not a flaw, so there is literally no basis for this joke other than toxic masculinity.

I mean, we’re also using social media but can still recognize that she’s delusional. There’s a lot of different factors contributing to people’s delusions.

Context doesn’t justify bodyshaming, full stop.

the same stage of life as I am

I would say they are living the same type of life as you, not the same stage. Life doesn’t have stages once you’re an adult. There are just common activities, and nothing more.

A lot of people with autism diagnoses really should look into trauma. This is a textbook trauma response.

Leftists bodyshaming men to criticize their fascism is some real regressive shit. It’s also super off-the-mark. Bodyshaming harms all men, not just the fascists.

That’s wonderful, I’m happy for you. I hope you ignore the haters :)

These comments are crazy lol.

The idea of “shallowness” is stupid. It’s a normal part of human attraction to prefer people that are visually attractive, so it’s unusual when people ignore that and take conventionally unattractive partners.

It’s similar to having a partner who’s kind of an asshole. Why would you do that? Cuz they’re hot? It’s just as odd and one-sided in the reverse.

Now, if you just find conventionally unattractive people to be attractive, then that’s another story – that would show that you’re not making excuses for ignoring basic elements of human attraction.

Also, if you truly don’t value physical attractiveness to the degree that other people do, and are not just saying that to cope with having a less beautiful partner, then that’s totally fair. People are just commenting on it because for most people, physical beauty is a core part of attraction, and ignoring that fact is a big sign of denial and deeper unhappiness. But if that doesn’t apply to you, then rock on.

How do we improve society, if all societies are equal? It’s nonsense!!!

By evaluating individual stats, not entire societies, and by letting societies determine what they value.

No those are stats EVERYBODY should value

You don’t need to share other people’s values. But you have no right to determine what other people should value. Big colonizer energy from you.

How would you tally up the score of “development”?

If the score depends, essentially, on racist ideas of how human societies should look, valorizing old people who can read as the epitome of human achievement, then I think it should be dismissed.

And more than that, I think the entire game of defining a single consolidated “development score” is laughable at best. We can measure stats individually, and consider them in their own right. Any attempt to weight the individual scores to contribute to a total score is going to depend heavily on the judge’s personal values. There is no value-neutral way to do it.

You may feel strongly that certain cultures are more developed than others, but that is based on the stats that you value. Even if you base it on data in some way, you are basing it on the data that states have bothered to gather, which almost always captures metrics that align with their priorities and views.

One obvious measure would be literacy, another would be life expectancy.

The idea that literacy and life-expectancy are signs of a more “developed” country is essentially just racist colonialist propaganda.

Many cultures worldwide have traditionally transmitted knowledge orally, and their societies were built around this, with lots of in-person meetings to disseminate information. If a person speaks their traditional language and is well-versed in their traditional culture, but does not read or write (because they don’t need to), then by the standard of literacy they will be deemed as less “developed” than some 4-chan troglodyte.

Likewise, life expectancy past a certain age is kind of a ridiculous metric. People seriously believe that the longer you can stay geriatric, the more “developed” your country is.

Meanwhile, metrics like knowledge of botanical medicine or percentage of communal land ownership are often left out of these scoreboards of “development”. Things that can materially improve people’s lives are only seen as having value when non-Indigenous people do them. It is racism through and through.

Actually, looking at history, no language will survive. Modern English is only 400 years old. >In a few hundred years, all languages will be very different from what they are now. Different enough to be considered a different language. It is normal.

This is a completely different process than what’s outlined in the article. The article is about outright language death, like if Old English had died so that it never became Modern English.

Language change is normal. Language death is, in our world, largely a result of colonialism, racism, and anti-Indigenous policies.

I don’t get why people are up in arms over lost languages or lost cultures, unless of course if it’s due to genocide.

Which it often is, as I’m sure you know. We are in an awful situation for Indigenous languages.

Regarding culture, people don’t lose their culture in general, they adopt other cultures over time.

These are the same thing. People don’t just lose their culture and become cultureless. They lose their culture as they adopt another culture, but this process is largely driven by colonialism.

Just like people have evolved biologically over time, so do we also evolve culturally, but the cultural evolution is much much faster.

“Evolve”? Do you think European culture is superior to Indigenous cultures? We are destroying the planet in record time, and you are talking about “cultural evolution”? This is the language of 19th century racists who were blind to the nuances of culture. Different cultures are different ways of being in the world, each with its own pros and cons.

And it’s fucking great that cultures evolve, because that’s the way to get rid of religion and other traits of our cultures that are detrimental to in general.

Unfortunately, the cultures that have replaced Indigenous cultures around the world have largely been bigoted Christian cultures. Language loss is not caused by cultures becoming healthier – it is caused by unhealthy cultures killing other cultures.

there’s likely a good reason most of them are disappearing.

This belief is called the “just world fallacy”. Sadly, the world is not just.

Most of these languages are disappearing due to colonialism. People’s traditional ways of living have been forcibly upended by capitalists and state governments, who have seized the commons around the world, and by colonialist policies such as residential schools. No longer able to support themselves using their traditional ways of living, people have been mde into wage slaves who must compete on the market to survive. That means using English or another widely-spoken language. Indigenous languages are much less useful to capitalists, and so gradually they wither and die.

We are at risk of killing 95% of the world’s languages, on top of the incalculable cultural damage that goes along with all of this, just to prop up a single way of being: liberal nation states. It is reprehensible beyond words.
