“It’s clear that the mass murderer didn’t have personal beef with the women he killed. It’s ideological because he hates society.”

So I guess everything is terrorism.

If every ideological thought is also political, then so are most murders.

If everything is political, then nothing is political.

In the US, maybe. But that’s considered a flawed democracy and getting worse all the time. Only 8% of the nations on earth are full democracies, a number that continues to fall because of the pessimism and stupidity promulgated by authoritarian regimes.

Anarchy is the rejection of unjust hierarchies, not all hierarchies. Certainly a parent would have authority over a small child insofar as that’s reasonably justified. Similarly, some expert may be elected to a position where they’re democratically authorized to make specific decisions so we don’t have to vote a thousand times a day about specialized matters.

On the whole, anarchism just means a lot more democracy.

Everything except the last sentence is factually and ethically incorrect.

Do people think that forcing children to give birth isn’t violence? That having the bank seize your house isn’t violence?

Imagine the privileged delusion that you’re above all that — that you’ve transcended the zombie horde of apocalyptic subhumanity clutching at your ankles, literally trying to rob your children, to poison them, to end all life on earth. The treacherous religious maniacs, the ignoramuses, the money-hungry, fashion-obsessed, sports-car-maniacal narcissists who would eat a puppy alive for a Rolex. That these orc-like creatures aren’t here to torment and torture and pillage.

But sure. Let’s not stoop to their level by struggling too much as they eat us alive.

To the extent that ADHD represents an actual physical pathology? Yes, absolutely. But as for the symptoms? No. Not at all.

And idk if you’re aware, but symptoms are about the only diagnostic tool we have available at the moment.

To be fair, that’s completely true.

I’m willing to bet we could get open source software that works way better.

Likewise, if Microsoft stopped making Windows and everyone had to switch to something open source, the quality of personal computing would go through the roof.

If a company makes 10 billion dollars, they should be able to hire more people or pay everyone more. Instead that money is siphoned by unemployed bums who have absolutely nothing to do with the company - the “investors.”

If this system weren’t already in place, we would consider it completely comical.

Wait, isn’t this what everyone wanted?? Why the fuck have we been poisoning the atmosphere for the last century if not to enjoy more category 5 hurricanes? I’m so confused.

Let them get sick and die, what is the issue?

Shame. Since Covid I’ve become a huge fan of pandemics.

What a bizarrely pedantic complaint, given that the actual book was titled:

The Religious Instruction of the Negroes in the United States - Published by Thomas Purse, 1842.

And the purpose of religion is indoctrination, moral abnegation, and subjugation. The Abrahamic cults in particular are a monstrous evil.

The “author” is citing a study. Idk why you’d indict the study because the media that is making you aware of the existence of said study is behind a paywall. Bizarre reasoning.
