Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

  • Hi! I am your opposite. I hate when people mangle meaning of words with no reason altogether. Create new ones all you want, I am all behind it. But leave the old ones be and use them correctly.

    Constant meddling, changing and pushing around of words makes them useless in communication and, in case of words having a weight attached to them, makes them hollow. It’s one thing to use custom meaning in your circle, another altogether to try to force it upon the world - in a way, becoming what you hate, someone forcing their definition.

    For example, overuse of the word “Nazi” pretty much made it worthless. Today if people get called nazi…nobody cares. Word got overused, it’s meaning thinned.

    What I hate about MAGA tho is that we create new words for new phenomena like transsexual and they behave as if it wasn’t valid. It’s not words they protect - they protect their worldview and frame it as defending language.

    Gonna dig my grave but I do consider female and transfemale different. But especially if they had surgery they are both women. We never specified women fully, did we? Traditionally it’s just a person with tits and vagina. And I hate mental gymnastics MAGA go to to try and exclude people who literally went through invasive medical procedure to fit into what their brain deemed always natural. This is defending meaning of words vs. defending your worldview and framing it as defending words.

    Also I may be autistic cuz I cling to rules too much xD




  • He rebelled tho because god made humans and told angels to serve them, which pissed him off. He took it up to management, management told him to suck it up, he told management to suck him off, and well, rebelling against your all-powerfull creator can have only one kind of ending… ^^’

    But overall, Satan was - IIRC - shown as simply a champion of individualism. Care for yourself first above others etc. A really big lack of actual cruelty tho, that was old God’s domain.





    1. Thanks for ommenting this - when I first formed my view it was basically empty research wise, not counting biased “foundings” from conservative groups. Will look into it.

    2. I said we cannot force religion to accept it, not that no religion accepts it. And I stand by it. If you’re in said religion you can try to influence it, but law should eff off off that. I also still stand by requiring legal marriage to not care about sexes.

    Ohhh I can feel downdoots incoming but hell.

    1. Yeah, parents being of both sexes is important. No, it doesn’t have anything to do with marriage, it has to do with adoption/in-vitro or other means of reproduction.
    2. Marriage is both politcal and religious. You cannot force religion to recognize gay marriage, but you should force law to recognize gay marriage.
    3. Heard this, irrationally feared this, but truth be told fuck my discomfort and that of other people, nobody deserves to be denied who they are. -.-’ But the reasoning is simply fear of unknown coupled with fear of change. I was raised in a straight society with straight values - it can be offputting, or even straight up disgusting to see them broken. To be able to come above this you need to be able to put your values above your ingrained feelings so a lot of people won’t.

    And I think you aced it with the reasons, conservative people couple marriage, family and having kids together so gay marriage is turbo-evil for them cause it “hurts” all three. I myself am on the fence where it comes to children, but marriage and family? Fuck off, that’s people private business, they have the same right to it that anyone else.





  • Does not matter one bit if the rhetoric seems aggressive towards white, “normal” people. Most people nowadays operate on emotions first, logic…dunno, fifth. And you need to sit back and think about the topic to get to conclusion it’s not anti-white, but simply focuses on the most abused parts of our society.

    Every time I talked with someone pissed at inclusion agenda, it went the same way. First, how they dare to put people of color / foreigners above me?! And then they switched to family values and upkeeping “normalcy”.

    Simple answer is - because whites are excluded in every single advertisement of this and left likes to blame whites for existing. And I know I am ruffling some feather and that most of left doesn’t actually do that, but the loud and visible part does. And I also once fell for that and became pretty pissed at the whole idea of diversity, it felt forced and weird. Only I learned later that I was fed the cases where it was badly applied…most people aren’t, however, inquisitive enough to actually expand horizons.



  • He never was. When teenagers used to scream n-word for shit and giggles, he was monetarily incentivised to do stupid stunts. No belief behind, other than to have a laugh and jump in views. When he crossed the line and was critised for it, he backed off, apologised and learned from his mistakes.

    But people love draging it out each and every single time he does anything, be it good or bad.


  • In short, a bunch of years ago he did some stunts for publicity that put him in a bad light. And don’t get me wrong, he deserved criticism back then. But it quickly became apparent that it wasn’t his view, but just that - a publicity stunt, something to drive algorithms etc, and he also apologised for it and what’s more important, didn’t make similiar shit afterwards.

    So no, not a nazi. In the past you could call him edgy or something, alas even that doesn’t really fit as he didn’t do this all the time. But people saw he is popular and saw what he did and decided that no matter that these were one-offs, he must be a nazi, secretely harbor a shrinet o Hitler and all that.

    Throwing it out there - I am tired of left always acting as if something done decade ago was still fresh. Pewds changed, he flipped his whole video formula, and even back then evil things he did were at least questionable. Let it go folks. You are doing nothing else than making yourself look like bitter old people.

    Edit: I noticed it’s not obvious what I am talking about. Other comments. People constantly talking about how Pewds is a nazi.
