  • The only part where I disagree with you is that I think bringing about a more unstable geopolitical order (a side effect of the path the conflict has eventually taken) is beneficial, as it will weaken the mechanisms holding together imperialism.

    Your first mistake here is assuming that imperialism is only when the West does it. If Ukraine is forced to give concessions to Russia in any form, any wannabe imperialist now knows they can now chip away other countries’ land if they are willing and capable of enacting enough violence, whether that country is Western or not, and they might get away with it. Unstability weakens multilateralism; multilateralism disincentivizes unilateral aggression.






  • Lemmy devs may have controversal political views, but their software is written with a good intention. KiwiFarms on the other hand use it to target instances.

    Let’s go even further than that. Let’s say that the most annoying people around the whole Fediverse are Hexbear. On the worst days, all they do is to organize to spam specific threads, which is indeed annoying, but that’s the extent of it. KiwiFarms is responsible for harassing people until they commit suicide for the heinous crime of being weird. Anyone aware of this who wants to associate with them has no place in civilized society.










  • But you don’t see, comrade!!! We must tactically support the weaker evil that is defending values even more contrary to our own in this conjuncture where they’re provoking perfectly avoidable, immense human suffering!!! If we didn’t, perhaps I’d have to question if my previously held positions were actually the rational conclusion to my core philosophical values, rather than contrarian posturing!!!1!!

    (Also I’m scared that everyone else might look at me funny for saying something that the libs say or that the mods might remove me, but do not say this aloud)




  • The Torah and the Bible already have weird sex stuff in it. There’s relatively explicit stuff like the Song of Songs, but then again you also have weird nonsensical incest such as the daughters who get their father drunk to rape him for no reason whatsoever, which you cannot convince me wasn’t written because some Israeli writer was horny. Just people writing about weird kinks like we’ve seen people do ever since the internet went live, except that the fellas making up the religion needed texts to add to the lore and said “Fuck it, let’s get this one in too”.

    What I’m saying is that you just have to be born at the right historical time to get your kinks made part of religious canon.
