I think you know that's not true. It certainly hasn't been true anywhere I've seen.

its like how people excuse Russia by saying "at least its not the US" and other people excuse the US by saying "at least its not Russia" At some point we need to stop arguing over prirotiy because its just giving excuses to whichever evil is second worst

I always support posts that call out israel, and also ones that call out palestinian evil. I know one is much worse. The point of comparing them should never be to pretend one of the evils is magically good now

Leon Easter-Rabby @ohcrapnowwhat.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
I don't think that's true. I think whataboutism is when you use the comparison to make one evil look less bad. You can just call out both evils seperately without being all "uwu that one isn't so bad"

Leon Easter-Rabby @ohcrapnowwhat.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
what's the difference between "we shouldn't rank them instead of fighting them, have to make sure we fight all injusticies, not just the single worst one" and "we should pretend evils don't exist" do you see any differences?

Leon Easter-Rabby @ohcrapnowwhat.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
This is whataboutism and I dont like that We should never rank evils instead of fighting them

This is the third of the ten video meditations I recorded in Kharkiv, Ukraine, close to the Russian border. The first couple were about courage and cowardice, which led me to the importance of moral categories in general. snyder.substack.com/p/moral-lang...

The rest of our lives will be spent keeping open gutter racist JD Vance out of the White House. Of course, this will be easier to do if he is in The Hague.

have you ever been lazy? and if so, what defined it?

Leon Easter-Rabby @ohcrapnowwhat.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
why don't you define laziness so we understand you aren't just using it as a pejorative

anytime a narrow fact supports the right wing, the best trick I think is to neutralize it by showing the limits of its application, rather than declaring no fact to exist

You could be right. And if you were wrong, you should want to know. I only ask that you reflect regularly as the chemisty... changes.

I think ADHD is real and it is currently not benefiting those with the label to have it, because methanphetamine is really unhealthy and addictive

Do you think that a diagnosis loses explanatory power if its list of symptoms is too vague?

This take feels too simplistic for you.

I petition all pundits to abandon the colloquial "we" (excluding me, of course) framework.

@vladvexler.bsky.social I really enjoyed your last Jake Broe interview. I think you do a lot better when someone else has a say in what you discuss!

I do think that a world where we speak more of how life should be easier to take does devalue life.

Leon Easter-Rabby @ohcrapnowwhat.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
so how do we decide which deathwishes stay or go? I know specificity is there, what else? relative power I suppose? but even then, I don't think being powerless makes your deathwishes good for bsky
100
Leon Easter-Rabby @ohcrapnowwhat.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
I mean in the context of speech being a source of death.
100
Leon Easter-Rabby @ohcrapnowwhat.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
I think "you can't ban anyone for wishing death because sometimes it's plausible to wish death upon someone" is a great standard either.
100
Leon Easter-Rabby @ohcrapnowwhat.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
its like, if we say "death to all sources of death" we might be increasing the amount of death, I think?!
100
Leon Easter-Rabby @ohcrapnowwhat.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
I've noticed that as we expand how we understand responsibility, we havent been expanding our language about culpability, we still just wish death. that feels imbalanced
200
Leon Easter-Rabby @ohcrapnowwhat.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
I think the principle of "wishing death upon people is bad" is worth upholding with punishment.

Leon Easter-Rabby @ohcrapnowwhat.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
it's a little more permissible to wish death upon someone leading a country directly than someone who just uses all their money for their goals, when the country leader invaded a country and the rich person just tried to pay for chaos
