Morality evolved out of a very real, grounded, and pragmatic need to survive. Might doesn't make right. Right makes might-or rather right IS might in anything other than a narcissistically individualistic context.

I'm actually quite stupid, a tragic situation I've only ever been able to mediate by intentional thought. I deeply envy those so smart that they don't have to think at all before confidently declaring answers.

The problem with snark is that, on a good day, it's about a tenth as clever as you think it is.

If you can understand how "not touching you" can be an attack, you're apparently more equipped than most to understand how pretext works

Absolute truth without fact checking is like a vegetarian who only eats salads made entirely of meat, and who goes on and on and on and on about how you really should be a vegetarian too.

They've talked themselves in so many circles about a war on men that they've discovered toxic masculinity.
This meme inherits a problematic and unreflective understanding of stoicism (you're angry because you're persecuted for being so stoic? Is... stoicism in the room now?)

If oppression was a unique function of government, you could simply cut it off and be done. If it can be imagined that in such an anarchy some might find an oppressive advantage over others then you've solved nothing, and any system you invent against that oppression is by definition a government.

The world is made of people, and government is just one thing that we do. It's reasonable to be frustrated when that organization method fails, but all we've ever had is each other.
Everything. is. labor.
Grow some food and make some friends. Help where you can and ask for help when you need it.

"Universal healthcare is socialism, and socialism is bad" is weird. Like... the main problem with Stalin that you've landed on is that he wanted people to be able to afford chemo?

Isn't it crazy and inexplicable that home insurance is more expensive for a $50 million house than a $50 thousand house?
yeah, that's the gist of why the rich pay more taxes, and if you can't get that across then there's not much use arguing further.

I do this thing where I take things that conservatives are done with and earmark them for adoption.
Like bible verses and the constitution and "give me liberty or give me death" and states rights. I try to not worry about hypocriticality... it's just free real estate.

When the guy at the window does a good job I get delicious food. When he does a bad job I get soggy fries. When the fund manager does a good job I see nothing, when he does a bad job the entire economy collapses and that guy at the window becomes harder to justify visiting.

We train young men to drop fire on people but their commanders won't allow them to write FUCK on their airplanes because it's obscene. -Col Kurtz, Apocalypse Now
Winning the definition of obscene is the most important thing you can do in your circles.

If humanity's only hope was 1000 people on a spaceship traveling to restart on another planet, why are none of the people you actually need currently among the best cared for members of society? Are we not all here, on a spaceship, trying to make humanity work?
