@juuchan4@Apocaloptimist5 Wtf is "the moral side of respecting the dead" in Christian canon animals don't have souls and were put on Earth to be used by humans, am I wrong?
@lickmysweatyb @ExtraFrySauce@Aella_Girl Do you think janitors don't all believe they could be doing something better now?
Science is a process involving a lot of people. And imagine how much easier it would be to fund research if half of America wasn't knuckledragging retards claiming vaccines cause autism?
@mudscryer I get the parallels but I think it's just part of the social media generation, widespread extreme insecurity with every action by others having some reflection on people's own self worth.
@elcid1390@bigmonkeong This "problem" exists in some of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time, more of a problem with normie media literacy than the inherent nature of movies. Anybody who thinks Alex in Clockwork Orange is a "good guy" would be just as disgusted by the book.
@max_spero_ That's not an AI post. He used an em dash. Could be that some people are starting to use conventions that AI use because we're reading so much AI writing, but the rest of the post does not read like AI
Your mother is problematic. Your father is problematic. Your son is problematic. Your aunt is problematic. The cashier at the local Tesco is problematic. You've probably bought a cookie from a bakery made by hands that have done unspeakable things. Every chocolate bar you've ever eaten has probably killed a 7 year old child slave in Cameroon. The gas that drives your car is fueled by engines of death. Every person who has ever smiled at you in the streets has committed some act that if you knew about it, would make you profoundly dislike them.
We have all been bad, small, petty, unlikeable, cruel, downright mean. Authors are not special "problematic" beings, they're just more public. Part of being an adult is recognizing that without mercy for our fellow human beings, and ourselves, we'd all be condemned to death. Reading fiction should help us understand that we're all irreparably tainted with evil, every system is corrupted, every line is broken.
And like, that's okay. That's what it means to be alive.
@Prawcin We aren't under McCarthyism. If you're a secret communist in this day and age you're just a fucking pussy. If you want to actually bend the world to your ideals you better be out and proud
@politvidchannel Wasn't project 2025 a policy plan, and all the vengeance stuff in Trump's administration just comes from Trump himself being extremely petty? How about like, housing and monetary policy
@ryangrim@camkasky Fuck Israel bro but this is really strange, instead of simply stating who he was and his background you're putting a lot of emphasis on a justification for attempting to murder a bunch of unrelated jews
A man who has never seen war and never will, cheering this on from a comfortable perch in Washington.
Every Senator who fails to stop this war should lose their seat, starting with @SenSusanCollins and @SenFettermanPA.
