I was wearing two faces, the privileged and the doomed

We cannot do Puddle of Mudd nostalgia. There has to be a line somewhere, and I think we've found it.

@WriterMcG Interesting, i think it went viral because you made a confident prediction that made you look really dumb? I haven’t even seen the movie, is it good?

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@HomerPavlos bro you are on your phone

@pandafresh @willmenaker I found a copy of catturd’s novel in a half price books recently. However i averted my eyes from its dark truths.

@willmenaker the bit where he walks by the group of demonic freaks on the street and one of them just turns and yells "fuck you!" at him is so funny, really clarifies what kind of movie you're watching

@mattxiv My brain is DEAD! I only want SEX!

@stalecooper for Low I'd go with Blue Eyed Devil

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@EWErickson oh a huge piece of shit supports them? well that's different, I'm going to need some time to process this.

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@mtracey idk man he seems like a huge loser who only huge losers would find interesting

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@somanyshrimp @2x10101010 and when the response tends towards "well, you have to think about what society will look like" or "it's not my job to educate you" most people are just not going to take you seriously and side with the reactionary people who are directly answering the questions

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@somanyshrimp @2x10101010 And I realize that people ask these questions in bad faith all the time and it's exhausting. But normal people who aren't online all the time are going to have the same questions and i really think there have to be some answers that at least give them something to think about.

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@somanyshrimp @2x10101010 That is a perfectly reasonable argument! I agree with many of its points! Do you think it would be satisfying to a moderate liberal who is being told by your enemies “these radicals want convicted rapists moving in next door to your family!”?

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@somanyshrimp @2x10101010 I’m sorry i didn’t come up with one on my lunch break but if you’re genuinely committed to this ideology and post about it this much you should be able to answer questions without suggesting that everyone who asks them is doing it in bad faith

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@somanyshrimp @2x10101010 Dude, the people actively working against it are pushing a narrative that impacts millions of people and makes them scared of change! You should have a counternarrative of your own if you want to have any chance of success!

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@somanyshrimp @2x10101010 Idk there’s a lot of people who aren’t gonna be on board with this and you don’t seem to care about convincing them so i was wondering if that’s being taken into consideration

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@somanyshrimp @2x10101010 Is the transformation happening via democratic means or…something else?

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@somanyshrimp @2x10101010 Ok! So what are you going to say to the Citizen and Nextdoor users of this country when they raise objections?

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@somanyshrimp @2x10101010 I’m not so down on humanity that i think a better society wouldn’t produce fewer sadists and sociopaths, but i don’t think that belief in a future better society is going to outweigh fear of criminals in the present.

[Oliver Crane @RecordoftheTime]

@somanyshrimp @2x10101010 I just think if you want this to be anything other than theorizing, then you need an answer for the middle-aged CNN viewer who hears “prison abolition” and asks “so are you letting the serial rapist out of prison? How’s that gonna work?”
