Having a loved one in Israel is weird bcs I have every personal reason to want this war over as soon as possible, but I can't hang around and talk with other people against the war, bcs most of the people against the war in the west kinda want the person I love dead, and yeah.

Why is the dickhead responding to op calling themselves stoptheantisemitism

G-d's bravest Turkish racefaker who has been proven thru IP logs to be from Turkey lol

I have a loved one in Israel who *is* Palestinian (an exchange student my parents hosted who became like a sibling to me). They're not a colonizer, and they don't want their Jewish neighbors dead either. <3 @forevermorallylucky, I wish nothing but safety for your loved one, and peace that will keep all Palestinians and Israelis alike safe.

@apikale I really appreciate your kindness and I also genuinely wish for the best for your friend! I am an outsider to the war and I can't even imagine the pain Palestinians go through but I genuinely try my best to understand the situation as much as I can and empathize with the people involved and living there

Can literally anyone explain why “girlboss feminism” is actually bad tho. Why is it bad for women to be strong and successful. Does anyone know or do we just hate women. No one says “boyboss” when the main character of an action movie is a guy who kills a bunch of dudes.

Also it’s shortsighted and illogical. If we were to change the social and civil laws that are unfair to women, women have to take over every influential position to make it happen. Because real effective change comes from having seats at the table, not from protesting outside the door or begging those in power to feel sympathy for us. I honestly think bashing that idea is psyop by men to discourage women from seeking more positions of power. It’s not surprising to me that right after this, tradwives content became popular because women don’t have to work and be a girlboss anymore. They should just let men lead the home and the country and it’s okay. If anything that tells me women are close to a breakthrough, all this resistance is because we’ve hit a vital nerve in the patriarchal structure. We should go back to that instead of this current nonsensical movement.

i genuinely don’t know how to explain to some of you that the USA isn’t the Source Of All Evil in the world in a way that you’d actually understand it

Also as an eva stratt fan I think women and girls like her so much bcs she is a great power fantasy, like she is powerful and also harsh and also pragmatic and also complicated which is things we are not always allowed to be So that's the reason for a lot of the defense of her

in your impossible quest to become the 'best person' some of yall have completely forgotten to be just a plain good person

"Only white people could-" wrong. Doesn't matter that you follow up with something negative instead of something positive. People of color have access to the full range of human experiences and thoughts, believe it or not, including those you deem negative, and are capable of behaving in ways you don't personally approve of. You guys would love phrenology I fear.

A lot of people's idea of being anti war is desiring one side to completely obliterate the other through conquest, and thinking they'll be no war after that because the enemy race has been neutralized, which is definitionally the most pro-war thing you can think.

let’s start parsing who does and doesn’t deserve representation and assign moral weight to agreeing to protect their rights I don’t see how this could possibly go wrong

This is the endpoint of assigning morality based on ontologies of people. You wind up with the simplest ontology: good or bad.

I love ancient art history !!!!!

@lowercasetrashwriter

Museums should have sections dedicated to artifacts like these with a warning that says “There’s a lot of private parts in here but we’re dedicated to displaying history so we won’t censor these. Enter at your own risk” or something. It’s prudish to deliberately hide history because of some ding dongs.

Supposedly progressive and left leaning people thinking art preservation and space exploration and just research and history in general are useless endeavors sound so republican to me.

Thinking about the whole "there is no platonic explanation for this" thing and how it doesn't account for intense platonic situationships and anyways I think we should start saying "there is no casual explanation for this" bc really what we're talking about is the way the characters in question are Obsessed with each other

I don't think Tolkien is a good fantasy writer because he scored the highest at some objective Best Fantasy Book Test that every fantasy writer has to take, I think he's a good fantasy writer because he created a world based on things that he was interested in. I feel like a lot of fantasy writers think that they need to create a whole language for their world because Tolkien did and obviously his books are the best so they have to emulate him, but Tolkien did that because he was a linguistics nerd. I think the lesson to be learned from him is not that you have to include elves and deep history and new languages, but that you have to write endlessly about the things you are a huge nerd about and use those things to create your fantasy world
