But as a gesture from the world, I could hardly imagine anything more appropriate.

I believe API gate was the last straw for me on Reddit, after 10 years.

It’s related to meat products but I urge you not to google it.

Good point. Better vote republican and be certain of their craven depravity.

Can’t risk the democrats being no better than republican, so keep the fascists in place?

Make it make sense.

It’s so perfect I have to exercise restraint not to over use it, but he keeps winning and fascists keep whining…

For a minute I thought Georg was your name and you had a signature for your comments

That is tough, and I want to agree but maybe this is an indication of how much work I have to do.

I feel guilty for having been a republican, I feel guilty for having picketed abortion clinics when I was a child, I feel guilty for not appreciating what systemic racism is until embarrassingly recently, and I feel guilty for all of the blind spots or reflexive bad thoughts that I still have in spite of my highly evolved intellectual positions.

Now most of those things were almost preordained by my parents, so I appreciate the guilt but don’t feel shame.

But, I do feel shame for all the years of moral failure; for suppressing all of the niggling discomfort at the logical conclusion of my beliefs at the time.

It’s funny they say this about sin but is actually true of real evil: you know when something isnt quite “right” about what you’re doing or believing.

I don’t live in that shame, but I am motivated by it.

Or just read silently next to each other. My wife and I have spent many an enjoyable evening that way.

I’m definitely and introvert but I am also a homebody. I could be having the best time of my life and a part of me is thinking about my chair, my cats, my family, and wishing I was there.

It’s hard to pick what our single greatest existential risk is at a moment in time with such an embarrassment of choices, but if I had to pick one, it’s probably Dominionist Evangelical Christianity as exemplified by Heritage and the 7 Mountain Mandate - please click on that if you’re unfamiliar.

The movement’s theology is based on biblical passages like Revelation 17:9 and Isaiah 2:2, promoting the idea that Christians should actively take control of the seven societal mountains to establish God’s kingdom on Earth.

Because it’s a people powered nexus for a lot of the other bad shit that competes for it on the list.

Zionism and antisemitism yes at the same time, AI, capitalism, and climate change, all intensified and utilized by the 7MM.

100% correct. What a great place.

This is a high effort and high quality post. Thank you for the edification, friend.

Fear not, I think we are on a speedy return trajectory.

Uh, r/iamgoingtohellforthis

XP or NT, I’d go back

Arrest most of SCOTUS - then arrest the Don.

Who is prosecuting it at this moment?

The thing about jokes is that they are usually written in such a way as to be humorous or obviously satirical.

They mustn’t be allowed to forget. It simply wouldn’t do for them to pass more than a few minutes without being reassured of their absolutely perfection.

My cats would miss our talks.
