Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
It is deeply immoral that cashiers in the US are not allowed to sit.

Look, I understand the need to celebrate small victories during bleak times, but I also feel like you’re setting yourself up for a catastrophically depressing anticlimax if you really think all of this shit is going to crumble instantaneously when It Happens

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time.
Time to claim your true history.

in general, a lot of doomerism on this website boils down to, "they are going to start treating us like black people, and i believe the marginalization of black people is immutable destiny"

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

One of the reasons our current historical moment is so heartbreaking is that this was all so utterly foreseeable.
Everybody’s gotta care about each other more, man. Lot of what’s happened in the last few years, the last decade, could’ve been avoided if society took loud grievances and concerns more seriously than we did at the time instead of going “well, let’s see how things play out.”

Not so distant, really.
500 years from now, our descendants will read about how the things the White man did today, and they will struggle not to think it's not allegories for corruption and evil, just like we struggle to believe White people cannabalized the flesh of Black folks in our distant past.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Please allow me a moment to make serious Swin's joke, but
actually this is kinda accurate because ICE had to stop its twice-weekly deportation flights to Venezuela four weeks ago on account of Trump unilaterally closing their airspace!

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

We are all in a state of constant panic and terror. It’s important to take a second when you see something online that triggers you to ask yourself “am it really triggered or am I just experiencing nonstop psychic damage from the world and my brain sees this as an outlet for my fear and rage.”

While this is true, to be fair, people said this about the printing press, too, and it did destroy the social fabric of the time in that we’re now mostly organized in nation-states rather than mostly hereditary theocratic fiefdoms.
The Internet is one of the most destructive things humanity has ever created, not because it destroys bodies or physical material but rather it the destroys the social fabric that binds society and civilization together and that’s a first of its kind sort of thing.
Anyway, here’s a fun thought: things 09A show that “communities” based around pure nihilism can form online, this combined with LLMs and chatbot psychosis, mean you could create scalable turnkey antisocial behavior inculcators as a service. I’m certain nation-states are already thinking about this.

The key is to lovingly cultivate some harmless eccentricities to keep you grounded in community. I’ve decided on being a “wearing a mask to stay uninfected” eccentric, but I’ve got friends who range from “growing all my own food” eccentrics to “running my own email server” eccentrics.
Sorry if this is a bit personal but does this shit make anyone else feel completely fucking insane
