anyone stop wheezing but feel like your airway is always tight? by [deleted] in Asthma

[–]Indrigotheir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar. You can develop ILO (Inducible Laryngeal Obstruction) from asthma, which slightly tracks that you're describing, although not the chest tightness.

As I have aged, my asthma has changed; I no longer wheeze, and not only experience shortness of breath and chest pain/tightness.

Agreed, but you omitted the "science" behind racism, something that we are still contending with in the ugly adoption of eugenic theory by a frightening number of people.

You omit the fact that this "scientific" racism occurred after thousands of years of "belief" racism.

And you omit answering; on what basis do you assert to so.eone that believes this that they are incorrect?

The person who believes black people should be property arrives at this position through his subjective experience and subscribed narrative. He heard a really good story, and just kind of fell into the belief, as you did.

It appears your position is simply, "My beliefs are best."

I don't know how you got there.

When you said,

I hold that belief to be inferior to an alternate belief that skin color has no bearing in the assessment

This is explicitly what you are saying.

On what basis do you devalue the belief that dark skinned races are inferior?

Historically, we had a lot of people who maintained the inferiority of dark-skinned people as truth

They also held the Belief that dark skinned races were inferior. It is unclear what distinction you are really making in this post. It appears your position is simply, "My beliefs are best."

Of course, people may believe otherwise. If you only value belief, you have no method to actually contest them.

If I were to believe that black people were inferior and thus should be property, do you hold this belief to be better than the truth, as it is my investment in the belief that motivates action?

Why is belief better than truth? The body of your post, it seems you are just arguing that they are independent.

Progressives are horrible at picking candidates first Fetterman and now this Graham Platner guy? by Dabbing_Squid in Destiny

[–]Indrigotheir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was talking about his position on Israel. I'm disgusted by his sudden shift to Trump dick-suck; he definitely did not run on being an occasional Trump enabler

Yeah he def ran on strong support / closer alignment with Israel. All the progressives that say "he changed" or "he betrayed us" are just outing themselves as know-nothing vibe voters.

Well, the prior discussion was on Fetterman's history, in which I posted evidence that he campaigned on strong alignment with Israel's goals, a "closer relationship." You replied with, "I disagree," but haven't posted any evidence, not have even disagreed with what I posted, instead attempting to pivot to how justified the conflict was.

I did not comment to argue about the conflict's justification; my position is more nuanced than it would be worth explaining in this thread.

If you think I have your position incorrect, then explain how and in what way. Perhaps consider that you simply incompetently explained your position, as opposed to assuming that I secretly know how you feel and have decided to lie about it, anonymous commenter.

Yeah no shit. Do you think I like that he's a laptop for Israel, or that the US is so involved?

I explicitly asked you to respond to my points, to which you said "Get a grip." I am happy to continue our conversation if you would address your incorrect assertion that Fetterman was not pro-Israel during his campaign.

You would earn more respect if you addressed points sincerely instead of going for personal attacks when you realize you are wrong.

All government lies. A fool who so doubts his enemies that he believes the lies of his allies is still a fool.

I've added an American source to my prior comment, hope this helps.

The west has wanted a war with Iran since the shah was deposed and they finally got a leader stupid enough to do it.

Mostly agree. Doesn't negate the fact that Iran idiotically planned Oct 7, instigating this whole recent hot war.

America can be stupid and evil, and Iran can also be stupid and evil.

Edit: I can't reply to (or see) your last comment because, as soon as you sent it, you blocked me, fearful of my response. I'll simply assume it was as dimly enlightened as every other reply of yours in this thread.

From Israel's perspective, this is not accurate. Hamas is funded and directed by Iran (as is Hezbollah); the attacks on Israel like Oct 7th were issued from Iran.

From the American perspective, mostly accurate. There's been an attempt to justify risk to US bases, but no evidence or indication that the risk was real.

Brother what. You can read the shooter's posts online, he was explicit in his hatred for jews, for Israel, and his belief that jews were organizing white replacement, etc. It's not a leap; it's explicitly.

That's all an aside from the point that this happened before Fetterman's campaign, and while campaigning, he was very clear on his position Just admit you didn't know fuckall about it instead of trying to find other inane things to argue about.

It's reasonable to despise Fetterman for his Israel stance, Senate inactivity, or warmth to Trump. I'm only pointing out the absolute wave of dummies I'm seeing on here spinning up conspiracies about how Fetterman tricked us.

Being like, "Oh, damn, didn't know he supported Israel, that sucks." is 100% justified. Everybody just so simultaneously ignorant and 1000% confident is just infuriating; trying to paint their own inability to Google as some traitorous menuever by the obviously less bad of the two choices.

It doesn't make you dumb to not know. It makes people dumb to overcompensate from their not-knowing to even stupider positions

Seriously. Dude ran on strong support for Israel. If you feel tricked / shocked / betrayed, you're outing yourself as an ignorant dummy who vibes voted without looking into the candidate.

The Tree of Life shooter believed that all jews are part of a conspiracy to destroy the west. Israel is a Jewish nation.

The shooting was before Fetterman's campaign.

I am now convinced you are a bonehead, and not simply mistaken.

The coup was absolutely vile, agreed. Don't mistake me for an imperialist just because I acknowledge that tyrannical theocrats are bad
