Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Here's a question I don't have an answer to: Are pundits like this, who waffle between progressivism and corporate 'centrism,' helping or hurting the progressive cause? The compromise to corruption is disqualifying, but the environment doesn't permit uncorrupted participants. Seriously, I dunno. 130

Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Have you ever wondered if a decade of social media propaganda bots intentionally trying to turn people against each other has impacted our perceptions?

Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Way to show off you couldn't be bothered to even glance at my post history. Yeah, I who post to social media maybe 2x/month am "concern trolling" for "engagement" Stop deflecting and answer the question. How is pointing out the BS claims made by all forms of supremacism are identical racist? 000
Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 19/09/2026How curious that when asked to justify your presumption of bad intent, you literally don't have anything other than dismissal. Almost as curious as how not one of you opportunistic critics has been able to articulate what the problem is with pointing out the parallel between racism and misogyny. 100

Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 19/09/2026initially missed this reply in the melee to pronounce me a white racist. Would I be willing to write an article instead of commenting on posts that talk about systemic bias to point out how it's all same BS? Sure? Why the hell is that required?

Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Congratulations to every machiavellian, narcissistic loser in the English speaking world. You've successfully convinced majorities of people that people are entirely incapable of sincerity, and only open their mouths to disparage others and lie to themselves. Thanks, Cynthia. 110
Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I desperately hope you can get offline long enough to realize that people actually do say things in complete sincerity. No hidden condescension.

Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Ask yourself, is gatekeeping anti-Black racism as somehow totally separate from misogyny of all races helping you? Is it helping anyone? Everyone angrily reacting to this is comment imposing their favorite straw man opponent onto my words. The firewall you want between forms of bias doesn't exist 110
Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Hippie racist blather is seeing parallels in the nonsense logic of supremacism? That the same arguments are repeated to disparage, no matter the target? I'm not attacking you, please unclench. I'm trying to help everyone see the basic invalidity of supremacist logic. 110
Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I didn't, hence 'hope'. I make this point wherever appropriate, largely in the hopes of helping as many people as possible to see the same logic at work in all forms of discrimination. In full kindness, I hope you can examine your defensive instinct with openness and empathy. Learn from it. 410

Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 18/09/2026But you aren't the typical person nor the typical thinker. Humans come into the world with an instinct for equity. We have to be taught to think otherwise. What's your argument in favor of inequality? How does inequity help anyone? 010
Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 18/09/2026(e.g. born with athletic talent vs spina bifida), but an argument that human societies should seek some amount of inequality. I'm really logical, and I can't see the logic here. Guilt and discomfort the privileged have with contemplating the end of their privilege seems a probable motivator... [2/3] 120
Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 18/09/2026@pitchforkeconomics.bsky.social #askpitchfork Nick, you and some guests occasionally talk about economic inequality as though some amount of inequality is required or desirable, just less than we have now.

Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The psychology involved isn't complicated, just baffling to we who never had an option to stay in childish fantasyland as adults.

Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 18/09/2026The right's ideal of masculinity isn't about a pro-social model that provides functional aspiration.

Secular Misanthropy @laereth.bsky.social · 18/09/2026So how does a 30+% rise in inflation over 6 years translate into a CPI rate that, according to Stancil, is entirely normative? Those two facts don't align. Likewise, an inequality gap greater than at any point in history tells a very different story. Stancil, BTW, has not cited sources. 030
