It's Okay to Walk Away

Hi, my name is Lumi! I'm a college student with too many opinions on political & social discourse. You can expect lots of aesthetic and political posts on this blog. Please read my Carrd (note: it's not a BYF or DNI). I'll treat you exactly how you treat me.

[sapphicconservative]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the moment you send suicide bait, death/rape threats, or wishing harm on someone, you lose any sense of moral high ground.

You can absolutely preach about what you support without viciously attacking the opposing side.

You can absolutely make your point without doxxing someone.

Do you really think you're better than someone when you harass them? Do you really think telling them horrible things and revealing personal information will suddenly make them see your side? No. You have dropped lower than they could ever go and it's all because of a differing opinion. You have pushed them away and raised further divisions between the differing sides.

How you choose to handle a differing opinion speaks volumes about your character. You lack empathy and maturity, and I hope you learn to grow up one day.

genuinely and for real if you change your fundamental values because people are mean to you then you’re stupidddddd. “men are going to the right because leftists are mean to them” okay well they are stupid. “so and so became a terf bc trans people were mean to them” stupid behaviour. that was stupid of them. I don’t think “the left” is “failing” men. I think those men are stupid.

[brantheblessed]

Men are going to the right because the toxicity of the left blatantly reveals the utter lack of intellectual framework behind leftist positions.

You can't prove your positions via reasoning which is why you resort to character assassination and physical violence.

They got wrecked a bit hard in the notes and nuked the post if you go to the source link:

Hey, OP. No disrespect meant, but maybe things would go a lot better if you were more open to discussing why these people end up thinking differently than you other than calling them stupid. It's honestly not going to get anyone anywhere by calling people names.

The Maryland KKK wasn't dismantled by hatred. It was dismantled by the kindness of one man.

Be the change you want to see.

This hurts my brain

[idiosyncraticrednebula]

Political tribalism is one hell of a bitch that kills people's braincells.

[sapphicconservative]

Neither "side" is inherently good because it echoes our beliefs. Remember to always think critically.

[thisworldisawh0re]

[cheshireinthemiddle]

I know 3 of these were intentionally taken out of context to spread a false message of his beliefs and one is a straight up lie, and that's pretty telling of what kind of people you are, but the more pressing matter is that in response to learning of your side literally murdering people for differing political opinions, your response is to immediately try and justify their actions and dissuade people from caring about the victim.

Like you saw a guy bet brutally murdered and your first response was to find some videos and clip out of context quotes to make the tragedy acceptable.

The guy was sitting in a chair, with permission from the campus, and merely having debates. And you killed him for it. You killed a guy for words.

just saw some pro-life misogynistic bullshit in my biology textbook saying that the life of a set of twins begins with fertilization and i genuinely had to stop reading and wont be for today anymore

[anamericangirl]

Aww poor pro-abort being triggered by biology 😢

[sapphicconservative]

Yeah, life begins at conception. Can't really ignore that. Not misogynistic to acknowledge science, either. I can understand having your perspective knocked back so suddenly in an unexpected place, but hopefully this can be used to grow and sharpen your beliefs one way or another.

IE: They wasted money they didn't need to over moral panic. And it ended up being a massive fucking virtue signal. IMAGINE MY SHOCK >.>

[unaffiliatedpangolin]

The story claiming there were hundreds of bodies, circulated internationally for weeks.

The news about how they found nothing? No major headlines, you basically have to find out on your own.

[mysterycat-official]

I lowkey hate when programs talk to me in a friendly way. "don't worry, nearly there!" Shut up. It should say "loading 64.3% completed. Do not turn off device" and absolutely nothing else. You arent my friend you are computer. Act like it

i sent that chinese person the tianmen square massacre copypasta a year ago and got blocked. lmao.

Everyone should periodically reblog the Tiananmen Square copypasta from time to time to purge your blog of communist spies 😌

Its like an Anti-CCP incantation

[switch-up-snowfox]

For those wondering, the CCP keeps an iron grip on information so any transmission of info or phrases they declare verboten apparently shuts down the web of anyone from china viewing it.

I don’t know how effective it actually is but pretty sure any china shill in china is going to avoid the Tiananmen square or any talk of it like the fucking plague, if not for fear of their internet cutting out or of being proven wrong that china number 1, then certainly fear that Xi Jinping is going to personally butcher their social credit in a back alley.

Grateful I still live in a freedom of speech nation and can criticize my government freely.

[violentviolette]

if ur politics are centered in any way on rooting out the "bad" people in the world and then being able to live in a utopia then congratulations, uve ended up at fascism and I am not in any way exaggerating

the only way to truly and genuinely prevent harm is by first acknowledging that all human beings are capable of causing harm to others if given the right circumstances, including u

u genuinely must first understand and accept that if given the right circumstances u personally would harm others and that the only way to prevent that is to be constantly checking ur own behavior and making sure there are safeguards in place to protect people against harm. none of us are immune to propaganda, neither are we immune to causing harm

otherwise, if u believe that any innate part of u (being a woman, gay, a person of color, ect.) means that u couldn't possibly be capable of harm, then it is only a matter of time and circumstance before u hurt another person, if u aren't already

HA, this reminds me of a Reddit post I saw a while back (since deleted, so apol for the lack of screenshots) where someone was panicking because they'd used ChatGPT to organise their hard drive, by which I mean they opened up an LLM and said 'can you move X file to Y folder and streamline the metadata?', and of course the LLM said 'sure, no problem! I've done that for you!' and then the user asked it to make backups of all their data onto ChatGPT's server, by which I mean they literally just typed 'can you back up all of my data on your server?' and the AI replied 'sure thing, that's all saved for you!' and then the user was like 'and can you create a spreadsheet detailing all of the locations of the files and their contents?' and the LLM was like 'absolutely no problem, I've created that for you!' and then the user deleted everything at their end and asked the AI where they could retrieve the files saved on the AI's server, and the AI was like 'right here! I'm just downloading it for you now!' and then the user waited, and waited, and waited, and then they asked again, 'where do I download my files?' and the AI was like 'right here! It's coming up!' and the user waited, and waited, and waited, and then posted on Reddit like 'where do I download files on ChatGPT?' and all the commenters were like... oh, friend. Oh no.

They couldn't codify Roe v Wade into law despite having super majorities in the House and Senate and the Supreme Court and a sitting president, multiple times.

They're not gonna give you universal healthcare

They're not going to institute green energy laws that exclude oil and gas.

They're just going to enslave you and make you thank them for the collar.

[beardedmrbean]

They sat on forgiving student loans when they had both houses of congress and the white house because they wanted to use that as a carrot to hold on to power and buy votes and when it didn't work and they lost congress they tried to make it out that they tried when biden overstepped his authority as president even though they all knew the president doesn't have that power.

They did not extend the eviction moratorium even though they held both houses and the white house.

The main thing they did was say they wanted to do things they knew they didn't have the power or authority to do and then blame the other side for stopping them.

Which honestly works for both parties, which is why people need to stop voting for a party, they only care about power, find a candidate you can vote FOR not against.

This place is going to keep going downhill if people can't figure that out.

It is more profitable to promise to defend a thing than it is to actually make the changes that defend the thing.

As long as (cause) is in danger, people will donate money to you to defend (cause). And if your inaction results in things getting worse? Well, that's all the more proof that money is needed for (cause)!

[sapphicconservative]

The government never works for your benefit. They work for them and their pockets. It doesn't matter what party, never trust them to do good solely because they are "you."
