I have contamination and mutants in my brain

The corollary of needing to be willing to frame arguments in terms of moral precepts you don't necessarily share is needing to be aware of subtext. Yes, it's easy to get a certain stripe of hyper-conservative folks to agree with anything you please by framing it in terms of opposition to Big Government, but a large part of that is because when you say "Big Government", what they hear is "Jews". You didn't hack their brain with magic words, you just didn't realise what you were saying!

I don't remember what post exactly I said this in, but I remember I once saw someone doing this and had to tell them "sometimes you think you're tricking the racist into agreeing with you when you're actually letting the racist tick you into agreeing with him"

the thing about these careful rephrasings is that they're always designed to center how some progressive policy will benefit the right winger you're talking to, which works precisely until someone reminds him that black people et. al. will benefit too, at which point we're back to square 1. in fact if you analyze the difference between how you're being asked to frame things and how he normally hears them framed, it's always just that

Sometimes I worry I'm "lazy" but later find myself able to perform a number of other tasks without issue. It's almost like "laziness" is a symptom of a hyper individualistic world rather than being an actual observation of human behavior

It's almost like humans evolved to work in communities together so their different skills and ableness allowed for greater success.... No... That's stupid let's make everyone expected to do everything on their own

just watched a trailer for an fps video game set during the vietnam war and i think we need to abolish triple a gaming

did you know that in 1966-67, a people’s tribunal found that the united states was committing genocide in vietnam? if youre curious, i would encourage looking up the “International War Crimes Tribunal” and the “Russell Tribunal” for more information

now all the things you guys have told me about american high schools are starting to make sense

Let the historical record show that Mr. Beast was entirely ignorable if you were just like doing literally anything else. I've been on youtube as long as it's been around and I've never been recommended a video by him. I see him in passing as a meme. I thought he was a made up joke, a caricature of bad youtuber content miners until someone I trust confirmed his existence to me in late 2025.

I love thinking about “lost episode” creepypastas from a production pipeline POV. I wanna be the guy who gets handed a script about a main character brutally dying with no actual plot and is like “Yeah sure. Greenlighted.”
