But like genuinely. "humans have an innate need for spirituality" should be pretty transparently a reactionary opinion. It's simply not true and equates something that some people get benefit from with it being a fundamental aspect of being human (and one that is missing it most people today). You gonna start arguing "children *need* fathers or they grow up broken" next?

man the absolute youngest holocaust survivors are like in their late 80s. It is not holocaust survivors doing this shit in the 2020s????
Implicit in these discussions is that it is not individuals, but peoples, who are the actors. Thus the discussion not of Holocaust survivors, but "populations"
okay good now i can reblog the post
"there is nothing morally cleansing about hardship" -- Okay, sure, true, but the more salient point is that nations, cultures, and populations cannot be morally cleansed! Groups are not moral agents; that is the exclusive province of individuals! Groups do not suffer, feel, or choose, only the human beings situated within them do.
To engage under the opposite framework, to write and speak under the silent assumption that it is peoples, not people, who function as the living base of society, is to give critical ground to not only Zionism but also to nationalism and racism as a whole. The assertion of tribe-as-moral-agent is the underpinning of a whole suite of chauvinisms and you need to consciously reject it.

You'd hope that at some point since the US totally and completely conquered Venezeula and entirely expurged the spectre of socialism from the nation the US could have taken off the sanctions.
I think you should, as a basic matter of self-respect, not treat anyone else as above you in any inherent fashion.
They might be more skilled at something, in a way you should respect to accomplish things. They may have power over you, such that you need to listen to them to avoid pain. They may be someone you look up to, because they're accomplished in some way.
But fundamentally everyone you could ever meet, from presidents to scientists to writers to elders, should be treated no better than, say, your buddy Kev. They don't need deference Just Because, they aren't inherently smarter on axes you haven't seen evidence for, and they do not deserve or require Respect in some amorphous fashion.
You are a Human Being, stand up for yourself
recalling a twenty year old experiment
Twenty years ago, a sociologist of science called Harry Collins tried out an experiment. He had been researching the community of physicists who worked on gravity waves for the preceding two decades, trying to get insight into standards of proof and how experimental results were reconciled and interpreted. In furtherance of this project, he had been attending gravity waves conferences, where he was a familiar figure and had lots of friends in the community (because he talked to lots of people, physicists often sought him out to get gossip and news on what other labs were doing and seeing). The experiment was a sort of Turing test – one group of physicists came up with a list of half a dozen questions about gravity waves, and then sent them by email to both Collins and a physicist, with instructions just to answer them from general knowledge rather than looking anything up. A jury of other physicists were then given the job of deciding which set of answers had come from Collins, and which from the physicist. And all but one of the judges identified the sociologist as the physicist. Although extremely funny, this wasn’t actually meant as a practical joke; it was meant to test a serious hypothesis about expertise. Harry Collins theorised that there was a thing called “interactional expertise” (basically the ability to hold a sensible and useful conversation about a subject) which was distinct from “contributory expertise” (he didn’t actually even know enough maths to do gravity wave physics). Deep interaction with a knowledge base and literature could provide one, but it wasn’t the same thing as actually working within the field.

By spring 1962, construction had begun on the biggest screwworm factory yet, at an abandoned Air Force base near Mission, Texas. Eventually capable of producing more than 200 million screwworm flies a week, the Mission factory was a grotesque marvel of insect-producing efficiency. Operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it was, in essence, a 76,000-square-foot artificial wound. Trays full of meat, blood, and water, each one heated to the exact right temperature to stimulate screwworm growth, moved through the facility on a monorail system timed to the lifecycle of the screwworm. Eggs would be placed in on the trays, hatch into larvae, and collectively feed on the bloody nutrient sludge, creating a “seething mass that is difficult to believe unless you’ve seen and smelled it.” After several days of growth, the larvae would wriggle out of the feed and fall into a water-filled trough, which gently carried them into sawdust-filled trays where they would pupate. The pupae would then be collected into canisters, which in turn were loaded into large casks containing highly radioactive cobalt-60. The irradiated, sterilized pupae were then packed into cartons, loaded into refrigerated trucks, and sent to distribution centers, where they would eventually hatch, be loaded onto planes, and dropped by the millions.

Here's a political thought I've had lately. If you go to Turkey, for instance, you will find Turkish nationalists. You will find people who insist that every great historical civilization was secretly Turkic or stole from Turkic cultural achievements or whatever. From the outside we widely recognize these guys to be "jerkin their dicks". They're just whacking off, because they're Turkish and if Turks were the Most Superior People that would make their dicks really hard. It is insufficiently deployed against the various race-pseudoscientists and calipers enthusiasts that they are likewise clearly whacking their dicks, despite their claims to possessing serious and respectable secret knowledge that the Establishment Doesn't Want You To Know. I agree that liberals, to their detriment, are irrationally squeamish about a lot of race related topics. But that no more implies the whitenats are the bearers of The Truth About Race than does the squeamishness of Christians about sex imply that actual fetish porn is The Truth About Sex. They are jerkin their dicks.
Of course. People who think “The White Race Invented Everything” are not only factually delusional; they’re also engaged in an idiotic form of collectivism. It’s stupid and pathetic to think you deserve a share of the credit for discovering heliocentrism or whatever just because you have the same skin color as Copernicus.
Even if “Afrocentric” Hotep stuff (“Ancient Egyptians were black, Da Vinci was black, Albert Einstein was black”) were factually true it would be irrelevant.
idk why people are still trying to do "hear me out"s on tumblr
you could talk about wanting to fuck the space needle on here and people would still call you a poser for insisting on fucking "conventionally attractive architecture" as if that's a coherent, easily-recognizable category
I want to fuck Antoni Gaudi's unbuilt Hotel Attraction skyscraper design
"hear me out" and it's a picture of the most fuckable building you've ever seen. c'mon now.

On this, 6 July 1919, Magnus Hirschfeld, Arthur Kronfeld, and Friedrich Wertheim opened the Institute of Sex Research in Berlin, Germany. It was the first sexology research center in the world. Hirschfeld, prior to the Institute of Sex Research, had run the Scientific Humanitarian Committee which campaigned for LGBTQ+ rights and tolerance. It held a library on gender, homosexuality, and eroticism. Arthur Kronfeld was a famous psychotherapist at the time, and Friedrich Wertheim was a dermatologist. The Institute led groundbreaking research and treatment pertaining to gender and sexuality. It provided various endocrinology and surgical services, among them early gender affirming surgeries as facial feminization surgery and gender affirmation surgery. Hirschfeld worked with the Berlin police department to curtail the arrest of transgender people and to issue individual’s transvestite passes. Alongside this, the Institute provided contraception and information about contraception, even though spreading information on birth control was illegal. The Institute held the first comprehensive collection of works about sexuality, in particular homosexuality. Hirschfeld, a gay man, published works and even a film advocating for tolerance. The Institute provided homosexuals with psychological treatment to help them learn how to navigate a homophobic society and helped to provide community. It also was one of the first research and medical institutions to provide comprehensive care and recognition of intersex people. Hirschfeld advocated for intersex people to have the right to determine if they wanted genital surgery upon reaching the age of 18 as opposed to infancy. The Institute collected photographs of intersex cases to understand what Hirschfeld termed “sexual intermediacy.” The Institute had a significant collection of medical documentation and specimens pertaining to human sexuality and gender identity, which was later destroyed by the Nazis.

"Don't say skinwalker, it's taboo!!" discourse on this site is funny because
a) No, I'm not going to adopt your superstitions.
b) That's not their name. "Skinwalker" is an english bastardisation. The romanisation of the Diné term is yee naaldlooshii.** Like 1/100 of the valiant defenders of the Navajo on this site even clock that it might be odd for a group native americans to have a centuries old taboo against a very recent (1970s) english word.
c) As far as I can tell, there is no actual taboo against using the name for superstitious reasons. The name is associated with unpleasant topics (cultural association with death, plus, yknow, that time they murdered a bunch of their own tribe members in 1878 through witch hunts, still within living memory when the first ethnographies were being written) and they don't want to talk about them with outsiders.
**I'm simplifying
I always hated when therapists said shit like this or wanted you to “promise” not to kill yourself, because suicide by definition makes you immune from all your obligations. If I break my promise I’ll be dead and you won’t be able to punish me for breach of contract. So why make me go through with this ritual of either lying or making a meaningless promise that’s not enforceable?
Similarly I hated being put in the catch-22 of being asked to affirm that I’m not actively suicidal because such an affirmation is inherently untrustworthy. A truly suicidal person would never tell a medical/psychological professional that they intend to kill themselves, because that means they’re going to lock you up and remove your ability to kill yourself. So it’s a question where yes means no, and no sometimes means yes.
Most suicides are not well thought out with calculated expected values that factor in the release of liabilities post mortem.
Well mine would be

Wait a minute...
I think we as atheists have probably swung too far towards tolerance and polite quiet. We should swing back towards publicly criticising the repression, hypocrisy, deception, untruths, bigotry, cruelty and nonsense of religions. even on Tumblr the Catholics have stopped feeling any sort of shame! the CATHOLICS!!!
