i've become less judgemental throughout the years even though i can recognize when i don't like things about people to get to the point that i HATE something it's gotta be really against my principles. for some reason i feel like when people get older they go the other way no?
>>84609878What you hate in yourself etc
>>84609878I genuinely wish for every obnoxious moralizing, self-help, and improooover poster to be beaten to death
>>84609912Not OP, but this tells us you're secretly really hard on yourself about the self-help improover bullshit.
>for some reason i feel like when people get older they go the other way no?Do they? I feel like you could make the point that people chill out more as they age and become less insecure
>>84609912i didn't mean to make it as a self help log or anything i'm just reflecting or how i changed as a person and what i see in other people>>84609926>I feel like you could make the point that people chill out more as they age and become less insecureyes i suppose i just see these radicals both leftists and rightoids very angry at each other but i guess it has to do because they attack each other identities which is why it feels more personal to them. like both parties feel like they are "the good guy"
>>84609963You didn't mean to suck hundreds of cocks either, but you did. And you didn't mean to get AIDS, but you are still pozzed. You are GAY
>>84609963Well there's a difference between personally judging an individual versus attacking a whole group. I certainly make scathing denunciations of [entire demographic I don't like] but if I were to meet any individual member of them I'm pretty lenient in judgment and usually give them the benefit of the doubt as to their personal character or whatever
>>84609967i did have gay sex when i was 19 (26 now) actually i was pretty disappointed i wasn't gay or bisexual, then i became a little bit of a player and got into a coke addiction. life is gooood
>>84609976>I certainly make scathing denunciations of [entire demographic I don't like] but if I were to meet any individual member of them I'm pretty lenient in judgment and usually give them the benefit of the doubt as to their personal character or whateverwell yes but how will they react when you tell them how you feel about the group? how much the group means to them can easily reflect as a personal attack depending on the amount of effort and emotional involvement they have for it
>>84610008Probably quite poorly, as I likely would if the same was done to me. I think there's a useful element of self-awareness in understanding that those kinds of broad, sweeping generalizations, even if they're oversimplifying and kind of reduce people to cynical caricatures, are still necessary to employ in order to prosecute inter-group conflict effectively, because if you're too busy appreciating the depth of your opponents' humanity or whatever it'll inhibit you from undertaking the attacking of them necessary to defend your interests. You can appreciate and be forgiving of them on an individual level while still recognizing the necessity of the former
>>84610131Yeah whatever your activist energy annoys everyone and will never result in meaningful change, cannot wait until life breaks you down enough that you'll no longer be a fly buzzing in my ear
>>84609963That's because you missed the train on those. Had you gotten into ID politics in around 2016 it would be the entire reason you use the internet. Some have dropped out or sobered up, but what you are seeing is the natural insanity spiral of the parties trying to keep up with the vocal minority's demands that have been amplified with bots. More and more as it heads off into the horseshoe it'll loose people but at this point with 50% bot traffic online they have figured out "organic groundswell>"national conversation">laws and regulations" well enough that the narrative carries itself. Or did, who the fuck knows what's going to happen in the next 10 years when all the boomers are dead. >>84609878Do you think maybe it's that people are being whipped into a froth for a lot of pretty small stupid shit that's been twisted to begin with now? I mean, when I was growing up it was at least religion that was the backbone of resisting whores, drugs, etc. that made some of the laws and the right vs. left make sense. But since 2016 especially 2020, it's gotten so small and petty and become so female brained (I am a female judge, this is how I feel because of my sex and race, so that's my judgement,- Logic says do this, female: BUT that's not Niceeee - let's TALK about what we're here to do before even organizing and planning everyone in the group!, etc.) that it's just- Can't be bothered to fucking pretend to care about such trivial shit.
>>84610207>But since 2016 especially 2020, it's gotten so small and petty and become so female brainedobviously i see that, naturally men are more practical and action-prone. all of these both IRL and online "talk spaces" feel a little bit of jerking off to their own ideas but idk for some reason i'm willing to listen and give people a chance even if i know beforehand that i won't agree with them because i'm interested in their personal views and why do they think that way
>>84610631Be very careful with that. During the peak of the meme wars they were baiting good intentioned empathic open anons like yourself into engagement, building to paragraphs of dialogue, and then cutting it with a single word reply of some sort. Extreme effort baiting that was exhausting. I mention this example only because that trait can be taken advantage of because the people you are interacting with do not have to be as honest as you, even in intentions, which is just a wild concept to someone who can only think to engage in good faith because that is who they are. To the point, it's safe. Reddit had that lady Pao as a scapegoat to ban all the "naughty" subs, to make it advertiser friendly. Because of instinct, the female behavior is designed to be safe, assume a default or status quoe position, not rock the boat, and not exit the overton window. Perfect if you want to advertise sex toys in teen transition subreddits and tayler swift tickets in drama subreddits, etc. you can do whatever you want because you're on the right side. They did not realize that the reason the female method of socializing works is because there were forced that would club, beat, rape her, regardless of and often despite her male protection. On the internet this is the general hoi polloi being allowed a voice. Women, when well kept, genuinely do not give a fuck and could care less. About everything. WHEN PRESSED, they will regurgitate socially acceptable or virtue signal behavior. This is often to the left/progressive/permissive/allowing. Like "don't arrest people for crimes in portland" "give people needles", And now without that threat there is no need for the female go along to get along to be running things, and with nothing to keep it in check it is running amock. Man has no say and has any benefit of physical power stripped from him, down to even yelling, etc. You certainly can't fuck someone up that's doing something to a woman, etc.sigh, out of text space.
>>84610814I didn't want to come off as a "It'S WoMeN" sort because that lacks nuance. suffice it to say there's a lot of moving parts that are coming together and you pretty much have to luck into house husband status for a while, good luck.
>>84610814one fun aspect i can see about getting involved into these talk spaces or book clubs of any kind who discuss politics and are kinda left-leaning is my own ideas being questioned, and i know one woman (my mom) who has a very fascist way of discussing about a subject that is saying their whole view about a matter and then immediately when you don't agree with her shutting you off or calling you a nazi for it.let's see what these short-hair they/thems got for me
>>84611026It's sure a hell of a lot better at hardening your morals and ethics than an echo chamber is yeah. A lot of stuff comes down to you deciding if it pushes your insides one way or another that you don't like. Like when they were saying lie on job applications. You can choose to do that, making you someone that does that, or- etc. And when you weight it against something like that and realize these other people may not be operating using that framework, you realize ID Politics can be at best 5% of your personality. The rest is simply trying to understand where they're coming from, digesting it, weighing it against your own views on "actual issue" vs current topic, and be satisfied with the physical, emotional, and mental reaction you have to deciding that. For me the majority of my opinions don't arise to the value AI would get scraping them in the conversation, so I simply abstain. Also, hard classifying people mentally will modify your behavior and is detectable at certain levels of autism so if you want to blend better try and make them just another random quirky aspect of current culture to be compared to their equal on the right vs. any level of "them".
>>84611026Also, dang I say also a lot. That's a "I know the talking points" persona. There's zero weight behind them. If you went around it, like you can do with AI, and talk about an issue from a different angle they can relate to the majority of stuff is pretty easy to find a middle on. The issue is the personality you said where they understand the template shown to them and have embraced it fully and any taut word against it they recognize is met with team spirit. Can't wait for that generation to die.
>>84609878Thanks for posting an image that isn't porn or some other nasty grotesque filth. This board is absolutely disgusting to scroll through.
