  • I don’t think your viewpoint is supported by history. It is common for marginalized communities to take on the code words of those who oppress them and turn them into their own. The hate mongers use those words in an attempt to “other” their targets and separate them from society. If society embraces those words, especially the communities that are affected by them, the hatemongers lose power.

    If you are waiting on everybody to reach the same conclusions as you, you will die waiting. We all want to live in a perfect world. But perfect is different for each of us. So instead of fighting a losing battle with no real winner, look to how the community affected wants you to act. When we help others we should help them in the ways that they want, not the ways we think they should want.














  • Ok, historically some political leaders felt that raping all brides before their wedding night was a great honor bestowed upon the family. Egyptian royalty had slaves, family members and pets murdered or buried alive with them when they died.

    Human history is full of it’s leaders doing shitty and horrendous things… We can either sit here and microanalyze whatever country or set of leaders we want to single out or just recognize that historically everybody in power was a piece of shit, and look for ways to do better and make our leaders do better.

    Does anyone here think that the United States and the world is better off with Donald Trump in power as opposed to Kamala Harris? If your answer to that question is " but Kamala supported Israel too hard"… Then my original comment about perfection and goodness is for you.
