A peaceful man must still know violence, or his peace belongs to whoever threatens it.

Dying for your country is a patriotic fairy tale, in reality. You will bleed out in the mud like a butchered dog for absolutely nothing.

Arguing that you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

Let's face it, owning a smart phone is not a luxury [anymore] in the 21st century, it's a necessity.

When racists and right-wingers speak of and talk about the "great replacement", they're basically describing something that has already happened centuries ago: Manifest Destiny. They're telling you about the sins of their fathers. They are projecting. Every accusation is an admission.

Unlike their forefathers, today's illegal immigrants aren't committing gen-o-side [sic], forcing people out of their homes, proselytizing, or creating laws to replace whatever it is they're referring to when they say "original culture and values." Hamburger fast food chains, car obsession, barbecues, Christian nationalism?

I'm so sick and tired of hearing people speak so highly about a celebrity's beauty. I'm like, "Bitch, you'd be pretty and look youthful, too, if you have unlimited access to the best doctors and cosmetic products! So, stop feeling so envious. They didn’t win the genetic lottery."

A grave and common mistake one could make is to believe what a pastor/priest says about their religion over a person who has a degree in Religious Studies and has read about multiple religions.

The only time I feel glad about living in a very small house is when it's time to do some cleaning. Someone once said to me that it's a perk of owning a small house. I still wish I have a bigger house, though, not gonna lie.

I bought my house 7 years after my brother bought his. What hurts me is the fact that my house cost almost twice as much as his -- and my house is 20% smaller!

I love, and have loved, quite a few people. And despite that, I still suck at showing it [through action]. Can't help but question if I even tried. 😓😥

To all those people, I'm sorry.

This thought came to me after I saw a post in social media about love language, which made me wonder what mine was or if I even have any.

Since ICE have ramped up their operation, particularly in blue states, brown people (and even some yellow people) are now starting to know what black people feel whenever they go out on the streets: the fear and anxiety about being stopped and questioned by authorities out of the blue simply because of their skin color as they go about minding their own business.

I've always wondered why people who are willing to die for their country (re martyrdom) are painted in a more negative light than people who are willing to kill for their [imperialist/invasive/supremacist] country.

It is kind of sad that the inspiration or primary incentive that drove man to go and explore space is ego (read: cold war, geopolitics), and not curiosity and actual desire for knowledge.

You must be naive and simple-minded if you think/believe that war is about good vs evil, especially in this century.

Them (paraphrased): There's no way he's racist. He's married to a Filipina (Asian). <gestures at their face> Me: There have been men who married women who turn out to be gay, so I can't see why you can't find it possible for a racist to marry someone outside of their own race.

You're working for a Fortune 500 company that announces record-breaking financial growth each year (in terms of revenue and profit) but you don’t feel like you’re working for a Fortune 500 company because the company doesn't fairly compensate their employees, especially the rank-and-file.

My fear of failing is far greater than my desire and desperation to get myself out of living in poverty. And for that, I am doomed to live an unhappy and unaccomplished/unsuccessful life.
