Performative politics is all the rage.

In all seriousness, you can’t entrust political significance to character-deficient, uneducated dingdongs with no commitment to reality.

Hassan is a socialist at random. He’s utterly philosophically illiterate, so his positions are a flip of the coin. You might say, “fine, let’s use that,” and I agree - as long as you don’t lose sight of the fact that he’s a barely sentient pile of shit.

Anyone know the source of this quote?

Steam is like if you had to open the Walmart app to use some shit you bought there.

Why not just make it so nobody under 18 can own a smartphone. Why these fucking useless age checks.

The big problem has always been the kangaroo courts. Anything Congress does, they’ll strike down in court, paralyzing the country.

You’re right that all evil ideologies, from colonialism to religious persecution, share underlying normative features. I was merely commenting on the fact that this particular act of colonialism is, in fact, religious, since the chief justification offered by these genocidal maniacs is religious.

I also want to reiterate that fascism and all religious activity is literally cultism, all rooted in various collective fantasies. We can certainly pull these things apart by getting technical (of course). Kinda beside the point.

Its genocidal ideology is rooted in religious fanaticism.

Incidentally, all fascism works just like religion, except by sanctifying the state with iconography and dogmas of demagoguery and rebirth.

Fascism is a kind of religion, and the organized variety of the latter softens up the population for the former.

Religion is a monstrous evil.

Of children ages 12-17,

• 14.3% have been diagnosed with ADHD.
• Including 17.9% of all boys. (Source)

This data is national, but as you can imagine, there are some schools with fewer diagnoses, and some like the one I mentioned where it’s the norm.

Yes, what isn’t right is that it’s an upper class private middle school full of wealthy parents with access to psychiatrists who are financially motivated to provide a fashionable diagnosis.

It’s also a way to get extra time (accommodations) on standardized tests (time and a half or even double time) which further widens the success gap between rich and poor students.

According to the administration at a school I’m familiar with, at least 50% of the 5th grade class has ADHD.

So, not having ADHD is the disorder.

I love animals. That is what we are. However, the transcendental values that separate people from the other animals are not universally instantiated. Some humans are cruel. They do not care about what is true or moral. They are not subhuman. In many ways, they’re only human, their potential personhood vitiated by a lack moral and intellectual agency.

To be clear, anyone who endorses this view is not a person. At best, they’re a human animal, and at worst they’re rabid.

You are not. Hasan is a very particular kind of evil to which most people are either blind or indifferent.
