surely treating suicide as the most horrible forbidden thing possible and making it difficult to discuss candidly not only through social stigma but also the threat of kidnapping and forced drugging will prevent people from doing something that makes me personally uncomfortable

gender essentialism is soooo funny bc it's like "this is what women are like" and you're like "I've met women and many of them, if not the majority, have not been like that" and it's like "well women SHOULD be like that" and you're like "why should women be like that" and its like "because that's what women are like"

okay heres the thing about why being, as a general rule, kind, is politically expedient. people are not primed to be able to

reflect critically on a profound level about themselves and their actions and beliefs and the world they live in

be increasingly open to complexity, nuance, and ambiguity

be open to major change in general

when they feel a sense of hostility. these are things that are most easily and safely done in a supportive and safe environment. & these are also things that are pretty crucial for being able to productively change your worldview.

it suckkkkssss because people are annoying and hateful and hypocritical and infuriating. and yet pressure does not always make diamonds. if you want people to be more leftist than leftist spaces and communities and the relationships people have with these ideas needs to be one which does, foundationally, make people feel seen and heard and encourages them to buy in to the group emotionally and credally.

obligatory disclaimer this is not saying tolerate misogyny racism transphobia genocide denial conspiracy theories etc etc or even to water down leftism to appeal to whoever. its about presenting these ideas in a manner and an environment that is encouraging people to drop their walls and open their mind. you can lead a horse to water and it may choose to drink, but if you try to drag it there or beat it in that direction, it probably won't. or it will take a much longer time and be a lot more stressful for everyone.

so yeah sometimes being nice and compassionate and seeking understanding is in fact the most politically crucial thing to do. and some people are definitely more emotionally / mentally equipped to engage in that work than others! but idk i think if your model of spreading leftism involves a lot of telling people to kill themselves. it may suck ass i fear

Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.

"everyone is paying super close attention to everyone else all the time" actualy statistical error. hypervigilance georg, who enters fight or flight when someone starts breathing differently, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I really wish christians were more open to discussing the Bible as an actual piece of literature. Because to put it very plainly I have a personal headcanon/interpretation of God as being essentially a child who created the universe and life itself not as part of some grand plan, but almost on accident. Out of curiosity. Out of a desire to not be alone in the darkness. Not a Father, or even a Mother, but an accidental inventor, an artist whose creation grew beyond their control. What if God was just one lonely light in the darkness reaching out to catch scattering atoms and arranging them in different patterns until the first star was born?

Can you imagine that warmth? When you've been floating through formless nothing for what feels like eternity, with no sound or touch or feeling. That first spark in an empty universe would be unworldly, that first proof of your power, of an ability to manipulate and create. You'd make a billion of them, you'd light up that entire empty universe with the first thing that ever made you *feel* something. You wouldn't even have to make life on purpose, after that. The reactions that power those stars would do the work eventually. The chain reaction would happen anyway, and maybe you have no way to anticipate that.

Maybe one day God looked behind them and saw the first living things developing, and maybe that scared them. Maybe they ran away. Maybe we're a mistake they don't know how to unmake.

But if I said this within fifty yards of a Christian church I would be descended upon by a pack of 10 white moms with the same haircut insisting I'm disrespecting their beliefs.
