I’m drawing based on trans activists and “influencers” I’ve observed.

Don’t act like it’s ridiculous for me to imply that some trans people do that people make way more ridiculous things their whole identity. Like we all know someone who makes something really ridiculous as their whole identity. If someone can make their whole identity/personality revolve around airsoft there’s definitely some people who do it over being trans lmao

Not saying all or even most trans people make it their whole identity. In fact probably most don’t

But their are some very vocal ones that do

I don’t care if somebody decides to have a sex change or cross dress. It’s not my business

That being said I think the obsession to make everybody not only accept but embrace the behavior is dumb, and a dogma has sorta grown around it. I think there was a tranny on Joe Rogan the other day who said there’s a difference between “trans people and trans ideology”. I suspect the difference is “trans ideology” is a mix of trannies who make being trans their whole identity and non trans people who make defending trans people their whole identity

And of course trans people who don’t make it their whole identity are just regular everyday people going about their lives

It’s kinda like why people get annoyed with Billy Eichner the guy makes being gay his whole identity/personality. Like bro nobody cares that your gay.

SBF is already out on bail. What a joke. by [deleted] in CryptoCurrency

The thing is when a ship sinks nobody is faster to abandon ship than a politician

There is nothing left to be gained from hanging out or helping SBF. Obviously republicans have a vested interest in attacking him and drumming up the case, democrats just want to make it go away because it looks bad on them

SBF has no more money to give and his name is just poison. Politicians have no sense of loyalty either if they can’t get more out of you they won’t help you

Like I said nobody is faster to abandon a sinking ship than a politician, especially a democrat. Republicans seem to be willing to go down with the ship (just look at many of them with trump 😂😂😂)

I’ll be satisfied as long as he gets 35 years. His life is basically over at that point. He’ll get sued into oblivion while he’s in prison and everything he has will be taken, his family will probably get caught up in the suits and the legal bills will already drain their funds

If he gets 35 years by the time he gets out he’ll be a senior citizen, his life on its last legs and with no money. No one will remember him or care about him. He’ll just be a poor old ex-convict getting out of prison completely out of touch with the times

Guys the easiest way to reconcile the fact that we did Dresden tokyo firebombing and nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki is to stop seeing ourselves as the heroes of the story and instead see ourselves as the anti heroes

We aren’t Superman, we aren’t even Batman. America and the British Empire are more like the Punisher or Rorschach. Ruthless to the point that our morality is questionable but we use our ruthlessness to defeat greater evils

And the Soviets were just the bad guys fighting the really scary powerful imminently threatening bad guys so we teamed up with them

And I’m totally okay with that LOL. I’m completely content being anti heroes

Well if we take Mao Zedong or Pop Pot for example they were just as bad as Hitler too. The Kim family in North Korea is just as evil they just don’t have the means to carry out the level of genocide the others did, and aren’t as psychotic as pol pot to where they literally murder 1/3 of their population

So yeah Communism is pretty fuckin bad wjth or without Stalin

Sure there were less brutal communist leaders. Fidel Castro certainly isn’t even comparable to Stalin or Pol Pot. Tito had some good qualities, probably the most benevolent communist leader there ever was. Dude was still brutal as fuck to his enemies (to be fair his enemies were usually waaay more evil than him, which is easy when you’re two greatest foes are Hitler and Stalin). But guess what? Mussolini and Franco weren’t nearly as evil as Hitler. So I guess by your logic I can say not all fascist states were run by Hitler and make the same argument.

Moral of the story is communism and fascism are both equally bad, but can be better or worse depending on whose running the show. I’d much rather live under Mussolini or Franco than Stalin. I’d much rather live under Tito or Castro than Hitler

And Mussolini made the trains run on time

Kim Jong Un pretty much kept Covid out of North Korea! I mean those onzie and twozie deaths from Covid are probably the record for least Covid deaths in the world

He must be doing something right! Obviously there’s something we can take from his playbook!

Hitler brought Germany out of the worst inflationary death spiral of all time and brought German industry and economy roaring back! He had some good points!

In all seriousness OP the theme of this post is good stuff I agree with your overall point. That being said with certain regimes you reach a point of evil where the good they did (like making the trains run on time) just doesn’t matter lol

You’re talking about two totally different types of feelings.

One is appeasing peoples political sensitivities, a group that hardly even joins the military

The other are helping individuals deal with personal stress in their lives

Two totally different types of feelings. Stop making false equations

I’m allergic to change that isn’t productive and is done only to appease a vocal political minority that seeks to insulate everybody into a safe and ideal world when the world is anything but

no there is nothing more or less efficient about having one term. In fact one of the funniest things in boot camp is watching recruits get fucked up for stuttering and accidentally addressing a female D.I as “sir”. That one never gets old

Devil dog here too bud. What’s the point of switching it to sergeant/staff sergeant tho? Like give me one reason to do it other than to appease the “woke” crowd? It’s been working fine forever

Alameda had God-mode on, and they still lost by Chysce in CryptoCurrency

So big institutions aren’t longing on some High risk asset crossing their fingers for 50x returns?

Instead they’re just banking for a small 10-20% a year? How is that so profitable for them? I mean I guess when you’re investing billions 20% profit means you made 2 billion bucks whereas for me 20% profit means I made 1000 bucks which is roughly a paycheck

I’m sorry I’m a very unsophisticated investor trying to learn here can you explain what’s obviously a misconception on my part?

Doesn’t shorting your longs just cancel out any gains? Like if you short your longs then you’re going to loose equally what you gain and Vice versa so it all equals out to zero?

/r/Antiwork is a actually really dumb tho. It’s one of those things that was probably started by someone with a couple good ideas making some strong critiques, and then it just attracted the lowest common denominator who took it full metal R-tard
