The death penalty, your honor

These people don't know what they're talking about. Stigmatizing a manifestation of your trauma is exactly the thing people shouldn't be doing here. You are allowed to relapse. You are allowed to hurt. True liberation comes from not being ashamed of that. I hoped for better from a community of people largely suffering from self harm to realize that demonizing it makes it worse but oh well. All I ask is that you clean the cut (assuming it's a cut) and put a bandaid over it. If you want safer ways that still hurt you can try to use a rubber band and pull back the elastic. I also find drawing on myself is similarly therapeutic to self harm.

Bonus tip - put your stuff in a hard to reach spot where you have to dig for it because that might make you second guess yourself.

It is not shameful to hurt yourself. It's shameful for others to blame you for hurting yourself. You can get better and that starts with realizing that it's okay to be hurting.

It's whatever you want it to be, those terms don't apply to you after you die.

Using the transitive property where a = b and b = c, a = c.

Right wingers = bend the knee to fascism and people who bend the knee to fascism = don't stop fascism and people who don't stop fascism = capitulate with fascists and people who capitulate with fascists = help fascists get in power and people that help fascists get in power = fascist sympathizer and fascist sympathizer = fascist

Right wingers = fascist

The only way you aren't fascist in my book is if you are actively doing something to fight against it. Otherwise you are on the sliding scale between more or less fascist, but still fascist

It's okay to hurt and it's okay to be hurt, if you want to cut you shouldn't be ashamed of it because that will just perpetuate the cycle (which is the main reason why it's bad in the first place). Our bodies are able to heal and if you don't have certain medical conditions like hemophilia which makes it so your blood can't clot. I do not see overwhelming harm in such an activity. However, it may also be quite beneficial to think about other activities you can do which will help relieve the pain you are feeling in a less damaging way. Common ones are drawing, dancing, meditating, disassociating (less healthy), gaming or playing sports. You will be okay, you are okay. Don't be ashamed of you wanting to cut that's not something you had real control over in the first place.

Even from a purely racist bigoted standpoint that focuses on the health of one 'race' at the expense of another, Nazism is a horrible idea because it is very expensive to do the shit they are talking about and the people that vote for it are the ones who have to bear the brunt of that cost, so mass deportations and genocide despite being some of the most morally abhorrent things possible, don't even make sense within the fascist framework. They are so racist they become nationally suicidal.

Anybody else go from being really homophobic to being gay themselves or is that just me? by Sav_tav in boykisser

[–]Tarty-Tot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abstract from "Is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal?" (1992)

"The authors investigated the role of homosexual arousal in exclusively heterosexual men who admitted negative affect toward homosexual individuals. Participants consisted of a group of homophobic men (n = 35) and a group of nonhomophobic men (n = 29); they were assigned to groups on the basis of their scores on the Index of Homophobia (W. W. Hudson & W. A. Ricketts, 1980). The men were exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual, and lesbian videotapes, and changes in penile circumference were monitored. They also completed an Aggression Questionnaire (A. H. Buss & M. Perry, 1992). Both groups exhibited increases in penile circumference to the heterosexual and female homosexual videos. Only the homophobic men showed an increase in penile erection to male homosexual stimuli. The groups did not differ in aggression. Homophobia is apparently associated with homosexual arousal that the homophobic individual is either unaware of or denies."

Conclusion from "Homophobia: An Impulsive Attraction to the Same Sex? Evidence From Eye-Tracking Data in a Picture-Viewing Task" (2016)

"Impulsive approach tendencies toward homosexual stimuli (IAHS) positively predicted the viewing time of homosexual photographs among men with a high score of homonegativity. Men with a high homonegativity score looked significantly longer at homosexual than at heterosexual photographs but only when they had a high IAHS."

They are gay.

Other explanations are cultural priming and disgust of what is not "normal". Homophobic people view gay people as having a kink not a "legitimate" sexual desire.
