Nothing is perfect. You can't fix democracy. I don't see the last two as contradictory. Power comes from influence, if you have the same amount of influence as everybody else you are just as powerful.

You shouldn't have to make people understand your trans identity, just make a case for protection against violence. Words aren't violence, if you get shit on verbally it's probably because you haven't stated your case clearly enough. I judge individuals on their own merits, I don't lump every trans person together and dislike all of them, but I have met some trans people I dislike personally, that doesn't make me transphobic, but to their eyes it might.

The world is endangered, there have to be rules for how to extract it's resources, otherwise mother nature will exact vengeance on everyone and everything in it before it can reach harmony again.

I can only imagine any alternative you would espouse as having a pretty bleak outcome in the real world. No one gets hurt unless they hurt someone else? Ugh, I'm not religious but I can appreciate truth when I hear it, so here goes, 'an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind'.

People are peices of shit. A person can reason for themselves, and a collective will turn out it's own shitty reasoning for whatever benefits them. Better to make benefiting off of being a shitty person harder.

This is fucking brilliant. Go downvote everything I've ever said! Your disapproval means nothing to me.

I have been transphobic before, it was only natural. I have spoken with trans people who have made their points well, and I don't discourage it any more. There are still people who I think are stupid who happen to be trans, but that's true of every denomination of people you can possibly think of.

Except that's not how democracy or power work at all. Like you said, power comes from influence; if someone can influence more than one person, they are more powerful by your own admission.

Words aren't violence, if you get shit on verbally it's probably because you haven't stated your case clearly enough.

Oh my god, are you actually doing this?

I judge individuals on their own merit

"I don't see color."

The world is endangered, there have to be rules for how to extract it's resources

The people extracting resources at the rate they are now either make the rules or ignore them. Rules are worth nothing.

It's on you to make your own opinions.

People getting rich off extracting resources is the problem.

Sounds like religious extremism.

No it doesn't. It's objective reasoning. I don't care about any one else's truth, I have eyes.

It actually doesn't take that long to see nature turn against an ideology. Water levels are rising, visibly. The willfully blind have turned opinion against the fact that human "progress" isn't sustainable. This will be obvious to everyone within the next 10 years.

WTF is this place? No one has any ideas besides "oppression is bad, so let's be hateful to anyone who doesn't conform to our ideologies.”

The fact is: human population is capable of destroying nature, and they will because it is easier than living with the truth. Because people are selfish.

Not sure I care to hear anyone's opinions on climate here, because you are all too focused on issues that affect you in your lifetime. Future generations will have true disdain for people that focus on social issues, while the future is left out to dry, literally.
