Yeah sometimes I get frustrated because I wish “the left” could be adults for five minutes and deal with the issues at hand. Like I don’t care about the socialist alphabet soup if you’re from PSL, or DSA, or ISA or whatever, we all agree that people are being kidnapped by I.C.E. is evil and alarming, can we just deal with this right now? We can get back to bickering about philosophy later.

But even that is complicated since there are disagreements that can’t be ignored, like whether to work with democrats, who time and time again undermine and cripple movements whenever able and divert them for fundraising.

Google is so fuckin greedy lmao

Its a bit of a complex topic, but in basic terms reactionary thinking is kneejerk reaction, what “feels right” without broader analysis. The popular surface level, like how people complain about trans people in sports cause it “feels unfair”, but when you look at the actual numbers there such a small section of out trans people in general, and even then they do pretty regular on average. Or how you here how believe all women will somehow make it “dangerous” for men dating, when in reality false accusations form less than one percent of cases, but one in four women experience assault. Whereas dialectical thinking is the thought that larger processes and symptoms influence outcomes, and one should take a step back and analyse the context and direct facts about something through critical thinking before coming to a conclusion. Like how study after study have proven that the number one factor contributing to a person engaging in violent crime is poverty, not just a person being born bad. Or how despite the narrative, immigrants commit crime at a lower percentage on average than natural born citizens. But since dialecticalism is a much bigger analysis and uses a fair amount of hypothetical and philosophical thinking you end up getting a fair amount of groups believing that their hypothetical analysis is best, such as you get with different philosophers.

To me it sounds like you’re starting to broach on the concept of reactionary vs dialectical analysis

Yugopnik made a good point on the term “Leftist” and how its so broad that it includes many different idealogies that are quite honestly conflicting, i.e. stalinists, anarchists, etc., so that it appears leftists are always fighting since they are all lumped into the same category.

If you leave your brewery a public review pretending to just be another customer, yeah thats pretty shitty. You kniw what you’re doing, don’t play games.

A litlle road bump and them logs could be airborn, where no friction is applied.

Thats called “Accelerationism” and its stupid, as history keeps proving

“Intellectual” is a bit of a stretch, because sure many had degrees, but a lot of the “science” they did was just literal torture with ko scientific method or even recorded results. I have trouble calling that actual science.

Fucking what? Lmao

Sinners should be allowed to confess, but not be absolved of consequence or even just be allowed to continue.

Say it with me:

“Its Capitalism”

The profit motive is killingbus and the planet.

Reminds me when a black friend in Texas explained he can’t do that because of a real threat of violence, when it’s always just been something I’ve done without considering. Was an eye opener for me years ago.

Don’t state that as fact. It’s just what the cops have claimed so far, and they lie constantly

This has been happening to people randomly for years. Ysed to get calls about it all the time, and that was pre-covid

Snake venom = botox

This just feels like capitalism whitewashing. Like how companies change their logos rainbiw during pride month.

How thick are they?

Being expendable by the democrats, and directly targeted by the right, is the issue. You need to fight for to stop it. The dems will never give it willingly, if ever.

Unfortunately? Mods are way better than dlc IMO, I don’t have to bloodlet my wallet everytime I want a new song. And they don’t have to deal with copyright bullshit, so way more songs and smaller artists are available. With beatsaber too there are even sites where you can upload your own music files and it will generate a whole level for you, complete with obsticle and difficulty options.

Not to even mention the extra-sensory mind fuck maps like Midnight Lady
