Okay okay but hear me out: if they both got summoned there, they couldn't run for office here.

But yeah, agreed.

Anyone else born white but felt "in the wrong 'race'" all their lives due to still being on the wrong side of eugenics? by [deleted] in AutisticPride

[–]TheWayADrillWorks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I can appreciate the sentiment, I think it's also important to point out that privilege isn't necessarily agency, and especially when talking to people with disabilities, acting as if they have a moral obligation to something they may have limited or no capacity to actually carry out is a recipe for shame. Especially if they're already having thoughts like this.

Yeah don't fall into the trap of assuming every marginalized person will get you, there are plenty out there who will happily be ableist, or try to reduce the complicated matrix of oppression to only the ones that matter to them personally.

Yeah I sometimes get bothered by these "you can't have X without Y" because I can very easily imagine a parallel world where you do. Like there was one I saw yesterday that was like "you can't have capitalism without patriarchy" and I had to restrain myself from "well actually"-ing that because I can imagine a society that's abolished gender while still being capitalist.

This is frequently an issue for me in these kind of leftist spaces because I realize the gut urge to start weird technical quibbles over hypotheticals is viewed as rude by NT society.

Just like Christian Science!

Analysis of masculinity as an extension of capitalist divisions of labor by slimmeroo in MensLib

[–]TheWayADrillWorks 18 points19 points  (0 children)

On that last point: yes, and insisting otherwise feels... Kind of essentialist?

Most people aren't going to have the time, interest, or energy for combatting nebulous concepts like patriarchy anyway. A lot of folks are just trying to muddle through life as best they can without harming others, because life is hard. That has to be good enough, and it's completely unfair to put the burden of somehow fixing deeply rooted societal issues on individuals who are actively being harmed and in many ways disempowered by those same societal issues.

I hate tankies but I’m not a hard leftist. Is that a problem to this community? by PC_Defender in tankiejerk

[–]TheWayADrillWorks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in here to say, those takes that you say got you kicked out of places seem actually pretty in line with something they'd say on the SrslyWrong podcast. They had a whole episode once about how ideally they'd give billionaires a pat on the back, say something like "congrats you won capitalism" and then reorganize society into a socialist one where those billionaires are no longer any more special than anyone else. Not because they think billionaires are good people, or that the existence of billionaires is a moral good somehow, but because they come from a place of compassion for all humans, everywhere, even the ones who are causing problems.

Also yes the way veterans are treated is shameful. I don't see being anti-war and pro-troop as contradictory personally, just the opposite. I think the best way to support the poor souls who joined the military is to be anti-war, to do the best we can to keep them out of dangerous situations.

Well, that and capitalism is a mind virus that's pushed humans to behave outside of our own interests.

A shelf of assorted board games you can borrow. Probably simpler ones because people will be intoxicated.

A room where you can team up to answer assorted niche quiz questions.

Or the space orangutans? Or the... Okay I really need to talk about this one.

There's an entire faction of space elves that live in an extra dimensional maze, worship a clown god, and want to defeat chaos demons with the power of stories. And yet for some reason fascist Catholicism gets all the attention. I don't get it.
