i cannot stand this apparently endemic idea now that being an introvert means being a shut-in afraid to even make a single phone call or go outside, that's not what introverted means and trying to turn debilitating anxiety into a quirk pisses me the fuck off
I know a guy who internalized the idea that male bonding is just bullying so thoroughly that he has no other way of interacting: his gay friend he always calls a f*g, his stingy friend a jew, he doesn't understand you're not supposed to do it all the time, and no one wants to be around him anymore
if you try you can empathize with everyone, everywhere. will determines feeling, you aren't born with boundless, christlike empathy and understanding, it's not second nature for everyone to be good
her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

paul pelosi getting half beaten to death was just another episode in the hilarious pageant of american history and if you thought otherwise you were a shitlib disconnected from the real problems
the creator of smiling friends said horrendous racist shit for years like p much every other newgrounds person and everyone's forgotten about that, not trusting anything by zach hadel ever
i was merely musing on my country's citizens, i wasn't putting down the protests which i supported wholeheartedly, are you capable of approaching an idea without embodying it
maybe some normies might be jolted awake but speaking as an Italian people here are just incapable of grasping that Russia is fundamentally a bad actor, or worse, think it's genuinely the preferable alternative
europeans' approach to defense is predicated on: -every threat being a reaction to something we did -any countermeasure being warmongering -the only right course of action being either inaction or suicidal capitulation, which will not have negative consequences because those are impossible :)))
