the liberal writer impulse to empathize with the least empathetic party in any situation has long ceased to be an exercise in compassion or humility, it is almost always a way for people to indulge in fantasies of being the most level-headed + benevolent person in the room

like it's actually insane that he went around saying things like "im a white nationalist" and if you say "charlie kirk was a white nationalist" YOU will get in trouble

If you want to see how liberals act as handmaidens to fascism, watch how those fascist movements grow because of the outpouring of liberal sympathy and the framing of fascism as simple political disagreement.

Christians will extend grace and empathy to a neo nazi white supremacist organizer before extending grace and empathy to queer people & feminist women. lmfao fucking crazy.

i feel like the “feeling bad for the wife” phenomenon is another iteration of the dehumanization of women. they dont think she’s a person with ideas that aligned w his they see her as the equivalent of a lamp he owned or something. not a person who choose to be w a nazi

I'll never accuse the Star Citizen community of having any standards wrt politics but it probably deserves better than creators who trip over themselves to, for literally no reason, eulogize and rigorously defend the honor and memory of unambiguous, unrepentant fascists.

If there's such a thing as "original sin," it can only be patriarchy. I struggle to find any evil that doesn't trace it's roots back to men's entitlement towards seeing women and children as property and the totality of that entitlement's normalization.

Charlie Kirk was a great debater and rhetorician, he used words and ideas to try to persuade in the spirit of democracy and—no no don’t look up any of his videos those are all out of context how dare you

Weird how "centrists" can seamlessly flip from handwringing about Kirk "becoming a martyr" to committing their whole selves to the act of making him one if you just tell them you aren't sorry he died. From "I disagreed with him but" to "everyone is lying and slandering him."

are they embarrassed? will their thinkpieces be recanted? will apologies be issued? will proper historical context be provided? will you think twice before speaking out of turn? no! they’ve shifted—along with the right—to discussing how the left’s celebration is the real evil!

there it is.

There is no requirement to take part in the campaign to whitewash Charlie Kirk’s reputation, and refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

i identify with she/they conceptually but being they/themmed is the worst thing anyone could possibly do to me so i settle for she/her

The ritual cruelty of parenthood is absolutely depraved. A relentless war on autonomy, on personhood, reaffirmed through pointless, petty displays of arbitrary dominance and control, control to which they feel breathlessly entitled, no matter how asinine or vain it may be.

men are 100% more emotional than women, society just likes to pretend that anger and impatience aren’t emotions
