shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?

The parasocial way that millions of people relate to politicians (and related personalities) is hurting the country. You don't actually know any of these people personally. "giving" a politician "positive coverage" is not a gift to be given to a "nice person". It influences how power is determined.

Every median voter's opinion boils down to "can't we all get along?" No, you stupid fucker. One party wants to destroy the nation, and if we lay back and let that happen you'd hear endless complaining from this same moron. There's a bonus, here, too: brainless national deficit sentiment
Sebastian, 50, independent, white, utility manager
I think it starts with our national deficit and just government spending overall — get that under control. Because I think everything flows from that. I mean, we’re writing checks that somebody’s got to cash eventually, and we’re just spending money left and right. Our deficit is in the trillions now. That’s not sustainable for the future. And the fact that they’re not working together, just constantly — they can’t agree on the color of the sky.
