Reply to comment by Crown_of_Ice in Shit I'm getting wound up, DON'T KILL BABIES! by Crown_of_Ice
:( i haven't read the entire article but i think i have some things to say. so like the other piece i'd say it's a topic that could be discussed but the authors view is genuinely disturbing, maybe kinda tunnel visioned into this pessimism and well i don't even know what to say. i think i am yet unconvinced. regarding how you feel, i am sorry, i think i've felt similarly but i can't really compare; i've felt before that some anarchist authors don't really seem to consider how their work actually makes some readers feel, it's often just "fuck this it's horrible even if you might like it", in general over time this sort of stuff has caused me i think a significant amount of anxiety, and in fact probably hurt my ability to think for myself. then again ive been thinking that other people are no more perfect than i am and might very well be wrong fwiw. so this is one of the works that really takes the cake in this regard, if theyre so sympathetic to the idea of killing children i don't know if they'd really be bothered by how readers might feel. anyways i think content warnings can be helpful

Reply to I Feel Like Me Not Believing in Supersticious or Esoteric Stuff is Kinda A Case of Ignorance. Like So Many People and Cultural Groups Arround the World Had Essoteric Beliefs. They Must Have Figured Something Out. by Lettuce
perhaps so. i'm a little spiritual myself, probably in an annoying way, i think it can be cool and useful, but my worldview isnt entirely developed. maybe you shouldn't force yourself to be more esoteric or whatever if you don't feel like it. i also don't think i can really blame anyone who isnt spiritual. idk i like being a dreamer

Reply to comment by kin in this pat robertson fella is dope by ziq
thank you for the opposing view, ive seen this essay and like not to be a liberal moralist but i don't like it at all. it could be an important topic to consider in more depth, and maybe i havent given the essay enough attention (well i think ive seen enough) but i think the author just flips the script and decides infanticide is cool and based (ressentiment?) . despite the claims made to the contrary it feels like this is a piece that makes a point of how edgy and disturbing it is

Reply to comment by NamiFromOnePiece in Laws are exceptions not rules by NamiFromOnePiece
i think alcohol abuse is normalized mostly cause its a very old drug, easy enough to prepare and sell, and also seen as just a drink, well idk much. not an expert on drugs and ive never smoked weed but i was thinking about how marijuana is an old drug from an european perspective, since i think there is evidence of its use by ancient people in europe and asia so i find it funny to go "based trad indo european weed", cause tobacco is kinda new from the european perspective, coming from the americas, and probably less healthy in the way it is smoked nowadays. i heard and read that in the us it became illegal cause of fear coming from racism against mexican immigrants who smoked it, but im in eastern europe so i think the thing here is that it being illegal maybe extended from america as international law and cause it's not an "ok and normal" drug like alcohol or tobacco, also my friend said it might be cause it makes u bad work which might also be true lol
If there was no law in the first place, I think people might have had a more balanced approach to both.
maybe cause then you kinda have more of a reason to think for yourself and listen to what people actually have to say instead of just following the law? i kinda like this train of thought

lol if you stopped there its prob good you did, i'd say it gets worse than that. i thought it was interesting at first and the chickenscratch artstyle is almost cool but it was so edgy and the plot is really all over the place that i cant blame anyone who doesnt like it. but ill like the ending if there is any who knows

Reply to Why are anarchists against democracy? by Satori
so the texts sent are probably useful, but im not especially familiar with them. its important to note i think that rejecting democracy isnt just a "postleft" thing, but also the view shared by various anarchists of all kinds past present and future, including ancoms like kropotkin and malatesta; the way i see it the rule of the people over the people just ends up in ways not compatible with anarchist principles. but not all of these anarchists see democracy in the same way, and stuff like ziqs essays are still 1 opinion among many, so its ok if you dont agree with everything said.
anarchists will generally reject parties as well, though maybe a party thats less like what we think of as political parties and more like a celebratory party could be cool lol

Reply to thoughts on gender by zip
im sure there are people who feel like you do. personally i do think i care about gender, i want to be a girl i like women, but yeah, i can see where youre coming from
its a hard thing to think about, its hard to make sense of gender and maybe that's not necessary. i probably have to dwell on it more and further trans form my relation to it in a way? but i also, contrary to a lot of people, dont really see gender as just a social construct; i think it's more than that but i also can't really be sure. so i think yes gender and no gender are both ok, at least i hope so

good job still! i think you're overthinking it a little but thats fine; i think the thing is you did something well and feel accomplished, which is totally fine! and its prob fine to be good at games, not everything has to be useful, but also maybe the skills games let you develop can sometimes be useful in other situation
i like old fps games too! mostly doom or build engine type ones it seems

thanks for the reply, i think you're right though ill probably have to look into it more too.
havent read the whole article just skimmed, but it seems nice that it also features vegan ways of relating to horses.
