I have noticed a tendency in some circles to, at least implicitly, disparage or diminish feelings of hopelessness and despair—feelings that touch on nihilism. I met and worked with a peaceworker in Iraqi Kurdistan who said that she didn't have much hope and didn't believe in God; and yet, she kept on working, even in the face of a tangible and profound violence and a rejection of metaphysical certainty, to document horrors and amplify the voices of the oppressed, read and love poetry, and witness to the possibility of nonviolence. I don't think that feelings of hopelessness and despair are inimical to the cultivation of devotion and a commitment to the notion that there are things that are worth saving, even or especially if the saving act feels impossible. We have to love even in the face of despair, even without the guarantee that love will, in some cosmological or eschatological sense, prevail. It is enough—more than enough—to move forward with our vulnerable and human hearts, our hearts that are softened and hardened and broken open and softened again, and hold to a love without guarantee.

basically, the zionist strategy of painting all anti-zionism as antisemitism has been pretty succesful, but now that they are carrying out a very public mass slaughter it's going into reverse -- i think that increasingly, all accusations of antisemitism will be assumed by a lot of people to just be zionist whining, even when it's unambiguous & genuine antisemisim (people getting attacked on the street, threats and actual violence to synagogues, etc). Totally fucked situation.

this is like how people always say “oh this would kill a medieval peasant” girl you strongly underestimate the resilience of these fuckers. they would embrace your challenge with love and curiosity

[official-megumin]

it’s always “this modern thing would kill a medieval peasant” whereas it should be “this medieval thing would kill the modern gamer”

I assume that in the next decade, COVID lockdown will be the prototypical "explanation" for why gen alpha is the way they are, whatever that happens to be. If the stereotype is that they're all a bunch of weird introverts, that will be due to lockdown stunting their social skills. If they're all a bunch of gregarious outgoing types that will be due to lockdown giving them a stronger yearning for socialization they were deprived of in youth.

Probably the discourse will be both of these at the same time, with people fighting with each other based solely on their impression of the last three teenagers they spoke to.

i hate this popular sentiment that's like "nobody cares about your baby" "nobody cares what you had for dinner" "nobody cares about your spotify wrapped" like ok why are you on social media following people whose lives you don't care about. there's an easy fix for that
