That’s such a good point.

Sometimes I do wish that my world were small enough to exclude knowledge about Hasan, or about the worms that burrow into children’s eyeballs, or the genocides of history, or any other kinds of evil.

No idea. I could write a lot about Hassan, but it’s not worth my time and it’s faster to relegate his fans to Trump supporter status.

I’m not denying that he sometimes utters the correct sentiments, but he has no principles. I’d consider him basically soulless.

I watched Hassan become famous and his dishonest narcissistic imbecility is about the only consistent feature of his character. The cult of celebrity has its hooks in you.

Performative politics is all the rage.

Hasan 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 narcissistic grifter.

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

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.
