This is a perfect way to describe what I've been feeling on this topic. A tiny portion of self-described leftists sit out an election while tens of millions of conservative white dudes actively vote for fascists, and it feels like a lot of people think the former group is a bigger problem.

I so desperately want cis people to understand this - the GCs are not feminists, they dont believe in women's rights, they dont value the agency or rights of children. GC is an abuser, forced birther, misogynist, racist, anti working class manifesto of bigotry. Its Andrew Tate with a Chanel handbag.

Christa Pike is made of something sturdier than you or me. To the medical staff providing care to her, thank you. I nearly cried when I read that they were treating her with dignity. Bill Lee, the governor of Tennessee, please commute her sentence.

There is a bleak sort of pleasure in telling people who bring up AI in casual conversation, “Actually, I’m one of the authors AI stole from. Not an exaggeration. The judge ordered them to send me a check.” It hits them different when it’s a real person saying it.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

Assuming this is correct, it'd have to something they're not fully cognizant of, right? Then again, I could imagine someone with enough bitter immaturity thinking, like, "my wife left me and my kids won't return my calls, so I'm going to destroy everything that enabled that."

Telling people to know their own worth is all well and good, but that's not how we have decided to structure and organize our society. People are deemed to have less worth and value than others, and these judgments have extensive social, political, interpersonal, and material consequences.

Sometimes I see people try to extend an olive branch to insecure men in the form of "Oh, but there's POSITIVE masculine traits, too!" They list shit like "loyalty," "protectiveness," etc., and I just don't associate those qualities with masculinity, and that's as a cis man.

After he was outted, he completely abandoned his old accounts, changed his name, and started a new channel that would become way more successful than his previous. When I brought this to leadership, they just told me "I guess he said he didn't do it" and kept him on.

One last thing and then I'm done. In the end none of this is surprises me. Just a handful of years ago I worked at a company who was running a charity campaign and was recruiting influencers. One of them was someone I had had personal connections with until he was outted for sexual assault.

I don't think you have a right to judge as much as you do. Educated people who worked with Pike in her therapy feel VERY differently from you. You don't have to forgive anyone, but you're not a kind person if you don't.

I’ve been a media witness to two federal executions. One was Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The other, a week later, was a drug kingpin named Juan Raul Garza. My conclusion after watching both men die: The death penalty should not exist. Period. It fixes nothing, and it erodes our souls.

This is also why I hate Jon Hamm. He beat and tortured a freshman in the process of hazing that included dragging him around by his genitals that were looped around the claw of a hammer. The pledge suffered severe injuries and dropped out of school. I can’t get over that

I believe fraternity hazing and military hazing and sports team hazing where men abuse each other is acclimating them into a broader culture of abuse where they will then believe it is their right to abuse other more vulnerable people. It’s so insidious. And that’s also why I think men defend it

At my college a freshman recruit literally died from falling down the stairs after being coerced into drinking too much. Some of his frat “brothers” put off calling the ambulance and by the time someone did it was too late. I often think about him and his poor family

Another thing about fraternities is that the hazing rituals where slightly older young men would physically, mentally emotionally and sometimes even sexually abuse slightly younger young men have always disturbed and upset me greatly. And it’s really telling that I’ve seen men defend those too

So, a couple of things. First, having a "large" account doesn't annihilate someone's humanity or reduce anyone else's responsibility to be decent. It kinda seems like you're reacting with jealousy over a matter that's not actually relevant. Second, this was not the only excessive reply he got.
