(popular leftist voice) these right wingers are so mad because they get no women. if you are a Good Person a woman will appear and suck your dick.

(popular leftist voice) these right wingers are all sooo poorrrr and stupid. They are stupid because they are poorrrr, racism would never exist in my suburban area

Popular leftist voice: these right wingers must have brain damage. They must be bigots because they are literally reta suffering from blsck mold, or brain damage.

Popular leftist voice: Every single right-wing person is literally so ugly and chopped, let me point out their exact features and how they're ugly. Having bad thoughts literally ages you. Good People are always hot and sexy and have kind countenances.

Popular leftist voice: these right wingers hate women?? I bet they take it up the azz bro... Hey no it's not homophobic to use gay as an insult I just want them to come out of the closet! Stop nitpicking bro ur making it hard to build a coalition #darkwoke

why do so many freaks go right to “there should be exams or tests before you have kids” when the real solution is better social services, robust infant and child development education that is accessible both financially and schedule/distance accommodating, and resources throughout any stage of a child’s life. genuine question like did you think about any social development before going straight to eugenics

I'll see people my age talk about how people "these days" are all worse at [blank] than people used to be and I'll be there like. at a stretch you maybe have flashes of memory from as early as 2005, it only gets semi reliable starting around 2010, and you're currently reflecting on your memories of 2014. you're waxing poetic about how people used to have media literacy during the height of the golden age of television when we were both in middle school at the time and weren't exactly keeping tabs on mad men discourse. my zoomer zibling: what the hell are you talking about.

The amount of slavery in Ancient Rome was legitimately terrifying tbh

Y’all know that I’m into ancient Roman history and I do a lot of research on it but even though I should be used to it by now sometimes I read an anecdote about how an individual slave was treated and I’m hit with the realization that like a third of the population was living like that and I just need to put my head in my hands for a second

When you study ancient history you’re reminded that slavery has never once been kind or justified. It just takes on different forms of evil in every time and place that it infects.

girlhood this girlhood that. woman you are 26

I got a message about how this is supposedly mean. I am holding your hand when I say that refusing womanhood and clinging onto girlhood will not save you from the realities of adulthood. I am not saying you are not young. 26 is incredibly young. you are free to love the concepts and media associated with girlhood but there is much to love about womanhood that you are not seeing. there is something to be said for being free of the shackles of girlhood and childhood. you are an autonomous being. you have power over your life and the paths you will take. it is easier to see the paths when you start taking yourself seriously instead of waiting for others to do so. no one is saying you have to be serious. womanhood is joy too. a different shade of yellow

it's truly insane how much more functional society would be and how much happier everyone would be if every job was perpetually 10% overstaffed (and people who weren't needed could chill and rotate in when needed while still getting paid) instead of 10-50% understaffed but that wouldn't be 'efficient' (in the short term, for shareholders) so fuck everyone I guess

I think we tend to imagine the end-Cretaceous mass extinction in this really apocalyptic way, and like True the day of the impact was probably, on average, the worst day ever to be a multicellular organism on earth, it might well be the singular day in which the most things Died, but it’s not like the full extinction event took place in a day (save for species with tiny ranges who could be wiped out by a single natural disaster/getting hit by a fucking meteor) or even years (save for the biggest animals and some specialists that probably did die out Very quickly during the impact winter). There were almost definitely at least some nonavian dinosaurs doing their thing for centuries (if not millennia) after the impact, and were only lost gradually as the subsequent cascades of ecological collapse did their thing. If you could time travel to somewhere on earth 100 years post-impact, things would probably seem ‘normal’ and it would take longterm monitoring to realize that all the ecosystems around you are in a state of rapid collapse.

I hate cigarettes so much I hate that smoking is becoming cool again I hate that we're becoming contrarian hipsters about this disgusting habit that has literally killed so many people and destroyed so many lives I'm so serious we need to become absolute killjoys about this again it's time to go 90s scolds on cigarettes until the scourge is wiped out entirely.

Genuinely I just don't think people younger than 35 know how good they have it. I distinctly remember the year in my childhood that it became illegal to smoke in restaurants, I remember what it was like when people used to smoke indoors everywhere, you all think it's cool because it's this illicit fun thing people are doing drunk outside bars now, you don't remember what it was like when fucking everything reeked all the time and you couldn't get away from it and how life changing it was when you could suddenly go out to eat and everything didn't taste like ash and all your clothes and hair didn't stink for days when you got home.
