Not even badposting now, the reason cops historically ignore this issue is that its often white, chud, and petit bourgeois. If lots of poor black people were modding their bike, there would be public campaigns and mandatory minimum prison sentences.

I was rewatching some sitcoms from the 90s. I was absolutely shocked with the amount of jokes about race and gender. And everything was so damn snarky. People who think that the 90s were chill just forgot the details.

Animal agriculture brought us covid and it’ll bring us bird flu.

massive wave of cringe

I can’t think of anything at the moment, but there’s definitely a few things for me that bring back memories and feelings of cringe like this.

were either lying or exaggerating

I’ve quietly felt this in my teen years

“Oh, it turns out that research consistently shows that the only effective treatment is validation of their professed gender identity”

I’m constantly frustrated how tens of millions of people can have opinions that can be changed with a minute of Googling.

Non-American’s giving shit to Americans is a public service, regardless of what happened.

TBH I used to quietly hate ppl who did Magic or LARP back in the day, which feels silly now as they were hurting no one, and in the 90s they were more progressive than normies.

Empathy can be really hard. One needs to spend a fair amount of energy just feeling what the other person is going through, and the mutual aid part can take even more. To go and question the reason for one’s material comfort is more than most people are willing to do.

Congrats on finding your way out of it. I do have this belief that most white Westoids are absolute sociopaths who have learned away their ability to feel normal empathy.

Or maybe the bigger picture was just that I still bought the idea that the US were the good guys and that we were stabilizing the world and spreading democracy

I can’t stress enough that this and the other things you said were constantly fed to you from birth. It’s amazing that people do find their way out of Western chauvinism.

Comrade, my past transphobia was so terrible, that if a person murdered me for the shit I posted in 2009, they would be justified.

internalized transphobia

Oh at least you had an excuse.

Ya I came here to say this. ee had a few notable libs, but they mostly seemed OK

but it’s honestly depressing and exhausting trying to argue in good faith

God bless you comrade for genuinely trying to change the opinion of libs through honest discourse. Honestly I’ve mostly given up, and I’ll pick my battles, as I’ve been through what you’re going through a thousand times already.

I feel personally attacked

But there’s no posh white tourists.

I would absolutely do a Hexbear group trip if it was happening.

I just believe that the empire has more resources to throw at propaganda, hence the difference.

Leftists in general have this moral issue with blatant lying too, something the imperial countries have no qualms with.

If you make the o into a u it’s “dear cum”

Sorry that’s 5 years too old for LD

I’m gonna make a big post about this when I have time. But yes, libs (and chuds) get incredibly angry when you just point out, with solid evidence, that their worldview is wrong and they’re actually on the side of harm.
