electrification and movement from fossil fuels to renewables benefits more than just people in china, climate change is coming for everyone. any country (/especially/ one doing manufacturing for others) that is making strides like this should be learned from.

ah yes, the old soviet ploy to make the everyone think their society is flourishing by… improving their society. damn sneaky commies

hiyodori’s work has captured the entanglement of sapphic hatred, obsession and love in a way we havent found elsewhere. she writes about women in beautiful places who will inevitably destroy or complete each other.

Carrion Saints is her best and it will never let us go. it is focused, thorough, and very curious about what it would take to make someone hate you forever.

your argument only makes sense if you think sexual assault is inevitable in prisons. the idea that a prison can’t stop someone from sexually assaulting someone else is absurd.

Are you having some psychotic episode?

please don’t use psychotic as a pejorative. please stop using ableist rhetoric.

constructing a dichotomy between “manipulative sociopaths” and “honest intelligent people” is a moral argument. you are literally casting one of these groups as not people.

you are nitpicking my assertion that saying someone is not a person is interchangeable with calling them evil. this is not an important part of what i said. if it helps, you will reread my comment and replace ‘evil’ with ‘not a person’ and then respond to that.

can we chill with the ableism? “sociopathic manipulators” vs “honest intelligent people” is a fucked up way to think about the world. “manipulative sociopaths” are, in fact, people, who are just as complex and inconsistent and deserving of life as “honest intelligent people.” no one is born evil, there are no demons hiding amongst you, it’s just people. an individual can be honest and intelligent and manipulative and do harm and prevent it and end up popular or ostracized. these qualities aren’t mutually exclusive or moral and do not exist in a vacuum.

the ruling class is not full of “manipulative sociopaths,” it’s full of people who are incentivized to stand together to serve themselves by exploiting and oppressing everyone below them. it has everything to do with their circumstances and almost nothing to do with their ‘nature.’

you understand a “sociopath” to be inherently evil, and this leaves you vulnerable to anyone who claims they can identify the evil in the room.

i think segregation is bad and causes problems

yes

maybe we shouldnt let prisoners sexually assault each other regardless of gender
