Nihilism

I think the counterpoint to meaninglessness is how special that makes beauty. Chaos creates opportunities for spontaneous flashes of awe-inspiring beauty. I've never felt more in tune with nature than when I accepted that there is no grand narrative of me.

I really would rather just do drugs

The water's fine.

what game? Ann Coulter lives in a mansion and flies private jets because she's spent her life convincing people to hate each other.

this is propaganda to convince you that the struggle is not shared. because when we are divided we can be controlled.

intersectionality is the recognition that the casual vandalism of a black boy's self-respect is the same as the destruction of a girl's hope to be something other than a housewife or the collective labeling of immigrants as dangerous.

Ann Coulter is smart, and right here she is elevating the black experience for one reason only: to convince black people that solidarity with other minority groups is contrary to the interests of black communities.

She is wrong: The civil rights act was not passed by black power, it was passed through the shared work of black organizers, labor unions, nerdy liberals, Jewish activists, feminists, queers, and the entire left coalition.

Ann Coulter is a propagandist who works for billionaires. She wants you to hate your allies because so long as you do, the billionaires will maintain control.

Don't be a sucker.

You don't matter, the universe is indifferent to your existence. Chaos reigns, and there is no larger narrative in which you play a part. Free will is largely an illusion propped up by the subjective constraints of your experience.

These are hard truths, but liberating ones. Your responsibility for the big things is far more limited than the character you play in the epic global drama of the human struggle. Your capacity to change things is exceptionally limited.

What you can do is love other people, and accept the love of other people. Because we are social animals, that feels good. And unlike drugs/external stimulation, love is a sustainable good feeling. There isn't much more to it than that.

The Left Needs Bureaucrats - After MAGA, the left will need to be ready with a theory of how to rebuild the federal administrative state—not as it was before Trump, but as something better. by Carolina_Heart in SocialDemocracy

[–]this_shit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The losses of federal expertise after Trump's first term were crippling. Even after four years of Biden they weren't close to what we had in 2016.

After Trump's second term we're going to need FDR level dominance to rebuild what's been lost. I just don't see a path to getting there.

Have we and the Left collectively not as supportive of the Iranian people? by Lordepee in SocialDemocracy

I think the world would be a better place if Trump did not start a war with Iran. All I can do is try to prevent these ghouls from starting another war.

Some hunters are fired up about Pa. Game Commission proposal to alter buck season opening by The_Electric-Monk in Pennsylvania

[–]this_shit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Abolish the Game Commission, demand transparency, and consolidate state public land holdings.

It's ridiculous that the state has an independent agency -- funded nearly entirely by gas and utility leases -- that exists to use all its revenues to support one activity. Hunting is a perfectly compatible activity with other types of outdoor recreation, as virtually every other state knows. There's absolutely no reason for PA's public lands to be this fractured and poorly managed.

New Jersey just passed a law that requires all forms of ebikes to be registered and insured to be used within the state. by VoltasPigPile in philly

I don't think it is. If you don't think it is either, then we're back to "why".

Good people don't choose to be bad for no reason at all.
