  • If semantics isn’t a real problem, why do you oppose the changing of semantics so desperately to the point of insulting/diminishing those that discuss it?

    You’re literally part of a “men’s right group” while simultaneously using the literal phrase for it as an insult because of Toxic Feminism.

    The first step of an inclusive society that listens to each others issues is already being failed by your ideology that is asking it of others. The feminist movement that inherently shits on men’s rights are in no way representative of an inclusive group of left minded people. Recently, these groups are being labeled as the new right wing online pipeline for women.

    It seems like you want to have and eat cake here.

    If it is such a common problem, why is there no common inclusive response?




  • Now, write an individual article for each child starved to death or bombed by Israel. I can’t muster the energy to care about a single rape in the middle of a genocide.

    We have rape kits in Texas that have gone untested for over a decade. If rape was important to the people enacting justice, we have a long list to get through before we can start worrying about rapes in warzones.

    But justice isn’t the intent behind articles like this. They want to justify the genocide with individual crimes.



  • I’ve never had somebody offer to be there for me, then disappear for a few months. Maybe the people you were hoping to rely on found themselves in need in a way that prevented them from being there for you.

    Sorry you are surrounded by unsupportive people. Make a better support network for yourself, including a therapist who is trained to help you.

    Don’t expect casual friendships to bear the burdens of your mental health. It’s your responsibility to take care of yourself, nobody else’s. Any help offered is more than is required by others.

    In any case, the situation you are describing does not apply to what I said. I was talking about honest offers from people to help and how being endlessly in need will eventually use up the goodwill offered.



  • Who do you think would beat the incumbent in the primaries? Who did you vote for?

    I’m of the opinion Biden was far better than I expected on many issues. I hope to see him steer the government in a better direction on Israel, but there is a long-term (alliance?!)/vested interest between America and Israel that isn’t just snapped away overnight by 1 man.

    He also represents a nation with a majority Republican government steering 2/3 branches of our government. The Republicans have been very clear with their intentions on this genocide.

    It will always be up to you if you want to provide solutions or empty criticism.







  • The breakup analogy falls short for numerous reasons, primarily because we are talking about communities rather than individuals.

    More like a divorce with kids involved than a simple breakup. Some people are happy to divorce and run from their kids, abandoning them to their ex, but some people want to keep as much of their family healthy and intact as possible, forcing them to go to court or other forms of confrontational discourse in order to achieve their goals.

    Many of us come from communities that have been split and the only way to rebuild and regroup is by engaging the missing community members where they are.


  • I respect the mental health boundaries you need, but not all of us have that conflict* (trying to find a word that does not sound demeaning, I am not a wordist sorry).

    For me, yes I’m upset that reddit is a burning shithole, but it weighs on my mind no more than leaving myspace, Icanhascheeseburgers, ragecomics, 4chan, Facebook, or any of the other numerous forums and social media sites I have split from.

    So I respect your need to avoid it, but I do not believe this is the same for the majority of people who are interested in taking action.
