Yeah, because it hasn't been in the driver's seat alright. Wtf.

Yeah, I have an issue that causes me to be repelled by the idea of wearing second hand and I can't stop the thoughts when I try, sadly. I've started with wearing my mom's pants. Shirts are much harder.

When people ask you questions about what you think can we not assume it's rhetorical? I asked someone a literal, non rhetorical question earlier and they kept asking what point I was making, even after they replied and the conversation went on? It's so hard not to get frustrated about that.

Aspiring Book Proofreader @elescator.bsky.social · 2d

...I was asking you a question about what you thought. You, or someone else, responded that you do think the US is *currently* fascist but that it wasn't before. Alright. Not sure what insisting I had a point beyond that there does?

Aspiring Book Proofreader @elescator.bsky.social · 2d

Unless it was someone else who said Yes, but I thought it was you and that we agreed there

Aspiring Book Proofreader @elescator.bsky.social · 2d

No, that's me asking a literal question. Then I got a response of yes, now.

So you're saying that that's a requirement for fascism? No one getting away with posting criticism without a visit from authorities? Everyone may not face consequences digitally, but people are facing outrageous consequences after exercising their rights to protest and speech

Asking what my point was (to someone else) when my point is right in my words doesn't make much sense...

1

Aspiring Book Proofreader @elescator.bsky.social · 2d

I was reacting to what someone said and what I just said there wasn't a response to you...

Aspiring Book Proofreader @elescator.bsky.social · 2d

What I said was about what was said earlier by someone else, so if you don't have a comment that's okay and makes sense

Aspiring Book Proofreader @elescator.bsky.social · 2d

Alright but did you read what I said? I'm not arguing that we used to be fascist

I guess people with disabilities don't matter to a lot of people. That really hurts to know.

Okay. I can see being irritated with people using incorrect terms for the country's past to a point, but wanting people to walk into the ocean doesn't seem to go with anything but passionate defense of our country's past government, which also at least did horrible things.

Is it that they're being *too harsh* about the government? The government is doing horrible things.

Why would that instill that kind of pissed-off in you tho? People saying that we are living under fascism? I've read good arguments for it, with criteria. I don't have them currently. But what's happening and the state of the country is beyond unacceptable.

Aspiring Book Proofreader @elescator.bsky.social · 2d

Do you not think what's happening currently is fascism?

Disability benefits processes, “reforms”, and cuts kill people.

They kill disabled people through poverty.
They kill disabled people through fear.

And all the current rhetoric, hate, and misinformation kills more.

Interesting! I do wish my compulsive thoughts about the person who came before didn't stop me from wearing and using stuff I get from thrift stores. Guh.

This isn't about the silk part BTW, I mean regarding what you said about clothes in general. Does the production need to cost so much, or is someone in the chain making a lot of money?

Aspiring Book Proofreader @elescator.bsky.social · 2d

There's thrift but my intrusive thoughts make it impossible to wear.secomd hand shirts

Aspiring Book Proofreader @elescator.bsky.social · 2d

So basically I just cant afford xlothes. Everything produced fairly needs to be expensive enough I can get one shirt and one pants.every once in a while? Is that really the best it can go? 😵‍💫
