Yeah, it’s frustrating hearing this. We need to remember to stay vigilant ourselves. None of us are immune to thought-termination and propaganda.

Why is he treating it as a mystery? America literally did allow a thought-terminating virus to run rampant. There’s also our deliberately poor education. We have answers to this, Yugo. It’s not some incomprehensible phenomenon.

It could also be a matter of him not knowing.

I also objected to the comment because it was about something tons of people care very, very much about to the point of sexual harassment and doxxing. It should be something no one cares about but people invoke schrodinger’s drama; it’s significant enough to warrant horrendously harassing the participants but when called out on that people are like “don’t make this about the shitty drama” despite the drama causing it.

There’s no mutual exclusivity here. He’s a victim, yes. Same as how many advocates of corporal punishment are also victims of it. If we think deterministically enough, we’re all victims of circumstance. But you can be a victim and an oppressor, and he is not as much a victim as Good was. Being ruthless to the system requires neutralizing these people whatever their circumstances are.

Ah. That’s a shame.

Is that James Rolfe? How did he contribute to the pipeline? I just watch his game reviews.

Sex is much better when the livelihoods of the people involved aren’t contingent on their ability to provide it or how well they can provide it.

I feel the same way about art.

Well that’s something to think about. How would one from the US get to Venezuela?

Hmm… I imagine some people with unmedicated ADHD would struggle with reading theory and listening to audiobooks. I don’t want to go around telling disabled people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I’d ask for their best effort but it’s on us to meet their needs of course.
