I, too, prefer the narrative where this is our problem to deal with and the consequences for our actions will be paid for by us.

Now i’m not so sure that narrative is true, but there is comfort and motivation to be found in knowing the world will go on without our shenanigans

Anger is fueled by love. My anger is fueled by a woefully irrational love for this country, my state, my city, my neighborhood, my friends, my family, the culture and beauty birthed by this nation, now being set ablaze to avoid facing the atrocities committed to build it. While i am not fond of the past, but i must embrace it and love it; and only once there is not even a memory left of this place i call home, will flame burn out

The best way to whack at the hypocrites is to be in their congregations to respond to their bullshit directly in person

I think you rightfully notice that the way out of this is bullshit is through influencing religious sects and institutions

I mean, it would make one hell of a protest

Apply this protest over generational periods of time, we end up in a world with way more people from the population that didn’t choose to abstain from procreation. All the assholes in charge have to do is maintain power for a generation or two and the population will be way more submissive over all

Angry people should be having angry babies

Yes, yes it is

I don’t know that i have the patience to do that more than once per person, i end up analyzing their thought patterns to sus out the root cause of the failure to adapt to new thinking. This kind of thing might be based on family culture or inappropriately reinforced assumptions about basic concepts that did not got caught by earlier educators. I will explore their cultural and family backgrounds to figure out how assumptions from there affect these failures to adapt to more dynamic environments.

A new model can be planted over inappropriate beliefs for the context of the new environment (here at work, generalizing is not only okay but necessary), and then it has to be reinforced over many months to keep the previously dominant mindset from reverting and help them build comfort with the new way of thinking.

The great part about this is that people who learn the adaptations this way will naturally teach others with the same maladaptions, and much more effectively. The terrible part is that it is slow and tedious and almost always includes religion or trauma

Are you arguing for or against mass incarceration?

Maybe he is insinuating that women are demons

I think this moreso demonstrates how tedious written french is. “Qu’est-ce que c’est?” is significantly faster to say than “what’s that?”

I’d wager if the chart was on information density per written letter or word french would be way further behind

I dunno man, you might be right cuz you’d probably be told to pipe it down
