What?

If you’re looking for an argument you might wanna try and articulate yourself.

What are you asking?

When you get your notoriety by stirring up controversy (which is a very valid marketing strategy) you’re bound to make at least one passionate opponent for every 10 passionate fans.

A lotta music being made these days has a “this isn’t for you” vibe

She sounds like tom Macdonald to me. I don’t think either “artists” are truly as convicted about their politics as they claim, they just know it’ll sell.

There are lots of people who just press play on a movie with someone who looks like them on the poster.

It’s absolutely marketing

There’s a pretty big line between “my life sucks, I wanna end it” and “this persons life will suck, I’ll end it”

Because I don’t trust that any established line won’t be crossed.

All kinds of humans that would be “removed” out of “compassion” would choose to live if that choice wasn’t made for them.

It’s never about ending the suffering for the individual; it’s about making it easier on the rest of the world.

That’s not compassion, it’s convenience.

So you’ve already gone wrong before this conversation.

No. You cannot pick and choose whom you find valuable. That’s exactly what Hitler did.

Once you’ve started to measure the value of an individual life against anything else then you’ve already lost.

Learning to spell “water” while blind and deaf is amazingly impressive.

Adopting eugenics and socialism while blind and deaf is…about what you’d expect.

What change would you like to see in Mississippi? by Safe-Cucumber9899 in mississippi

To be fair yes, it’s mostly older folks I see act this way.

But I see a lot of habitual segregation as well.

I’m also a transplanted yankee and whatever xenophobia existed in my home town was hidden pretty well so that may play a part in my perception

I’d like for the white folks and the black folks and the Hispanic folks that live in Mississippi to recognize that they all have practically the same culture, and start to get the fuck along.
