    I see your points through the semantic fog. You had it at a problem of definitions and it doesn’t appear to have gone away. One side defending personal intent and the other highlighting historic institutional malaise. Very little actually discussing, you both just happened to be making adjacent points in the same topic for the most part.

    They’re right in their analysis of the mores and norms that the system allows, even if their claim of no good people existing under a broken system is absurd.

    You ain’t in bad faith, it’s more exhausting to get pinged by friendly IFF misreadings than extreme ideological opposites nowadays. That whole leftists eating leftists series of jokes applies somewhat.

      Yeah dude. Everyone’s just looking for an enemy to dunk on. It’s like “Aha! I got one!” and they get all excited to debunk some kind of imaginary shit that no one involved in the conversation is saying.

        Tbh your comments are all leading with pretty incindiary lines and just casting “dude” onto whoever is pretty fucking annoying, regardless of how much one might argue “it’s gender neutral”

        And I’m squarely against dunk culture, these are just some friendly requests 🙂

          Yeah, you’re not wrong. I tend to use “dude” and “man” and the like and it’s probably not a good idea even when we’re not talking about gender and misogyny specifically.
