Because I have spent my whole life perceiving the actions of living beings.

But social problems are purposeful choices. There are no easy answers. I grew up hungry because society wanted hungry children to exist - my suffering was to some real or imagined benefit.

You cannot simply swap out this system of faith for one of truth. Human perception is misaligned.

Psychology and epistemology are annoying to people. Generally, humans want to believe that the world has easy answers and that we can solve it. They do not want to confront their own deep inability to understand.

I rarely find any reason to trust those who self-describe as 'progressive'.

With liberal media like this, who needs conservatives?

Daily Kos warns that progressivism must be intimately aligned with hating non-white people, because then progressivism may be palatable to some wonderful conservative white people who are very misjudged and we must pander to them very hard yes.

Belief is wider than just religious belief.

Marxism is a belief system that arguably works best when it replaces religion (on both the personal and social scales) - does it compete so successfully because it is analogous with religion?

Posting on social media to lie to me is uncouth. Posting on social media to lie to yourself is unnecessary. Just keep a journal and reaffirm your fallacious self-beliefs there, please.

Counterpoint: You do, very regularly, believe in things with no evidence, you just wish to pretend otherwise.

The next spot? I assume humans plan to colonise some other planet so they can start extinguishing wholly new species with their hateful behaviour.

It is so weird that there are people who can lose billions and be fine at their job. One time at Starbucks my drawer was off by a dollar and my job was in jeopardy. 😅

Capitalism must inevitably become a total feudalism of corporations and their pointless, lionised CEOs. There is nothing that will not be sacrificed to reach this outcome. Inequality must increase, the world must be destroyed, humanity must end. This is profit.

Remove the trans flag from your profile, fake ally.

Don’t worry, I’m sure continuing to tell folks to “Vote blue no matter who” in 2026 and 2028 will fix everything. /s.

Gosh, this timeline sucks absolute shit.
