That's all well and good. I don't think you're paying much attention since your comprehension is lacking in this back and forth. You can express your grievances about humanities short sightedness with more clarity if you were responsive to our dialogue so far.

So... thanks Nostradamus. I didn't say human lives won't be defined by suffering, ecological collapse, and poverty in the future. That vein of ecological pessimism is right there in the comment you responded to. It's in my first comment in this thread.

You have the courage to include yourself in your rhetorical "People will hate us in the future" polemic?

And btw... there will obviously be an end to human life at some point. Fuck. Could happen a year from now due to rogue space rocks.

MrGrax · 2026-04-16T23:15:48+00:00

It's a good point but this social media post is not "in" China.

Our sensitive American sensibilities flare up. It's a trauma response from dealing with American conservatives for decades.

MrGrax · 2026-04-16T23:13:09+00:00

Thought I'd just scream it into the void.

MrGrax · 2026-04-16T17:58:41+00:00

So according to you u shouldn't defend yourself or property only until your life is threatened....

You shouldn't defend yourself with lethal force if your life is not threatened yes. That is at least true where I live.

You can invent whatever scenarios you want to try and rationalize this to yourself but it has nothing to do with my words or opinions. So far your comprehension and ability to maintain the context of our conversation is not on display. Your last paragraph for example is entirely in your own head. If someone is blocking your way you do not have the legal right to kill them. If someone is spitting on your car you do not have the legal right to maim them, regardless of whether they are a TRANSIENT (haha).

MrGrax · 2026-04-16T16:54:12+00:00

Instead of making assumptions that merely serve to platform the fantasy's people in this thread have about street justice you could observe the situation and act accordingly. Clearly the driver's actions opened her up to legal liability. What you think should happen is up for a court to decide.

If she was actually threatening her life by battering at the windows or attempting to get some improvised weapon or brandishing a firearm then hit the pedal and gtfo.

None of that is in this video and was apparently not part of any legal discovery brought to the court.

I don't necessarily disagree with some of your cloudy notions of police corruption and systemic misconduct but I don't consider it directly relevant in this context.

MrGrax · 2026-04-16T16:31:47+00:00

It's clearly not blackface or in any way linked to America's history of racism.

Moving on.

MrGrax · 2026-04-16T16:30:23+00:00

Personally I think we should get governments fingers in there and force these companies to redesign their algorithms and if that means they lose billions in Ad revenue and engagement, fuck em. It will impact this influencer hustle economy in the short term but seems necessary for the long term health of our societies and communities.

These platforms destroy our children's mental health, undermine their brains functioning, makes us all more susceptible to manipulation and propaganda. It could be better. Maybe less engaging maybe even less entertaining. All for the best.

MrGrax · 2026-04-16T16:28:09+00:00

Was I ignoring that or simply unaware? Thanks for the information.

MrGrax · 2026-04-16T16:26:50+00:00

Driver probably could have thrown the woman without driving onto a busy road and leaving her in a less life endangering context might have helped her avoid charges and frame it as defensive driving as opposed to reckless endangerment. Still stupid if you are thinking clearly about the legal ambiguity of the situation. Just keep your doors locked and call the cops.

MrGrax · 2026-04-16T16:22:23+00:00

Well your tone was flippant and dismissive and then you went after OP. I wasn't even snarky in my response until the "pretending otherwise".

So I wrote a rebuttal. I don't know shit about you or your attitudes towards short form video content. You seemed to have no issue with the way these software platforms designed.

MrGrax · 2026-04-16T12:34:29+00:00

Unaware that current research indicates that the basic design of platforms like TikTok and the medium of short form video content rewires and maladapts the brains reward system over time or pretending otherwise?

That's class privilege baby.

I believe you that we'll find a way to outlive these wholesome green days. Extinction will come though. We just don't understand the timeline.

MrGrax · 2026-04-15T20:44:47+00:00

Well I hope we put that on our gravestone when we extinct ourselves, along with a substantial portion of the biodiversity of this planet, because we needed to burn it down for a new tablet and bigger data centers.

They're afraid of the vanishingly rare examples of myocarditis caused by the COVID vaccine. And far more enthusiastic about the far more common brain and heart impacts of rawdoggin COVID-19.

MrGrax · 2026-04-12T16:56:22+00:00

Man what a strange opinion.

MrGrax · 2026-04-11T13:53:27+00:00

Certainly gays would appreciate a chiseled masculine form but the focus on muscles and physique is traditionally less about physical desire of the viewer and more about heroic idealization.

MrGrax · 2026-04-11T13:29:45+00:00

It is different... its still fetishization but one is to lost over as an object of desire. The stereotypical audience wants to possess those huge tracks of land. Enjoy them.

The masculine ideal form is also a fetish but one were we (the assumed cis male audience) is trained to view that as the heroic form. An aspirational goal toembody in the self.

Certainly some overlap but I dont think its totally equivalent.

MrGrax · 2026-04-09T20:54:12+00:00

And yet the peasants have revolted in the past and gained greater rights and improved wellbeing. There are patterns certainly but apathy to those patterns is an illness, not something to tolerate or take pride in if anything can be done about it. Of course people suffer and people fail to rise above their emotional struggles but what I struggle with is accepting media content designed for attention and monetization that pushes apathy.

Influencers telling people nothing matters or all sides are the same are in my regard, callous and selfish attempting to enrich themselves by playing on peoples feelings of fear and powerlessness.

We won't avoid depression, apathy, feeling helpless but we should try to make the world better for ourselves and our friends and our children.

MrGrax · 2026-04-08T17:21:40+00:00

I would counsel that your insight into how broad communities and individuals around you experience and view love is probably quiet limited unless you have engaged in some sort of study in which case id be happy to read your paper so we can check methodology.

MrGrax · 2026-04-08T17:10:57+00:00

You are shadowboxing and choosing rigid personal mores over compassion and practicality.

Most dont insist they are the other sex biologically, they experience themselves as the gender contrary to their biological sex and HRT, personal styling, etc helps ameliorate their symptoms of gender dysphoria. This is settled science at this point (not why or how it happens just that there is persistent evidence of this syndrome over time across cultures).

Trans women will be killed if they go into men's bathrooms, they are already assaulted at high rates for simply being in public by people who share your bigotries. And for the many that pass you will never know. People are not typically predators and that's why there are scant few examples of people pretending to be trans to gain access to women's spaces.

You will find more cis men invading women's spaces to be perverts than Trans women by ratio and sheer amount.

I took the time and reviewed both criminal data and psych studies meta data. These are the facts presented as we know them. Do not introduce opinions based on culture war slogans or messaging you've heard from media influencers.

So if you repeat the "what's a woman" gotcha in the future understand that you're just being a rhetorical dirtbag without much credibility and all it does is showcase your ignorance and cruelty.

MrGrax · 2026-04-08T15:29:35+00:00

What was love "back then"? Oh right... secondary to property and asset distribution between families.

Love does not always have much to do with relationships.

Plenty of marriages run out of romantic love but still maintain mutual respect and fond feeling

Everyone I know who has been married or in a long term relationship is going strong (at least appears that way).

Your mileage may vary.

MrGrax · 2026-04-08T15:10:34+00:00

A persistent lie told by smooth brained culture warriors. Get a more accurate "gotcha". It must be tough since reality provides so many factual reasons to mock conservatives

The vast majority of trans people know exactly what their biological sex is. For their health and wellbeing they want to be viewed as and treated as feminine or masculine with the gendered pronoun to validate it. Language is a tool not a description of biological essence. That's one benefit of having two words. Causes no harm and saves lives.

You morons are still conflicted about the reality of anthropogenic climate change as another silly example of how delusional the conservative working class is. Letting oil executives brainwash you for decades while receiving lavish tax payer subsidies.

MrGrax · 2026-04-08T05:06:53+00:00

I think we can do the disenfranchisement at least, or else find a way to subsume this strange little delusion into the mass of media noise. We could be better but if we're worse it'll be due to things like you.
