  • We’re fighting fascism buddy…

    I meant in general that is what’s happening in 2015…

    based on your personal, ever changing, in-group language.

    Again, this isn’t a personal opinion, there have been multiple academic studies showing the effect language choices like this on thinking since the 1980s at least.

    It’s not “ever changing” but if 40 some years is too fast for you, lots of conservatives feel the same.

    I just don’t spend a lot of time interacting with someone who views a personal inconvenience like this apparently is as such a big deal and worth hurting others.

    But again, lots of conservatives do. MAGA 100% agrees with you, and regretably there’s a lot of them these days.

    So I’ll leave you free to talk with the people you agree with.


  • You’re arguing about word choices and message

    Because that effects how people think and treat others…

    This isn’t just my opinion, this has been studied extensively, not just for word choice within one language but how different languages cause people to think differently.

    I thought you just weren’t aware, but I provided a couple sources and you’re getting angry and still wanting to aide with the fascists on the right…

    That kind of only leaves one reason for why you’re still denying science…


  • So something like “begging person” or “beggarly person”?

    Why are you so insistent to use “beg”?

    “Someone asking for donations” maintains their dignity and communicates the point clearly…

    Personally, if you called me a German, a furry or a vegetarian, I wouldn’t mind, even though none of these attributes encompass my entire existence.

    Ok…

    But we don’t call people what we would like to be called, we don’t set the minimum of respect for everyone else

    If didn’t have a home, job, or food, you might be less willing to be dehumanized.

    The privileged are usually the least sensitive to that.

    Like, I’m 6’4", if someone that’s 6’6" walked up and said “Hey shorty, what’s up”. I won’t give a single fuck.

    If I was a 5’2" man, I might be offended, and if I said a 5’2 man had to be ok with it because I was, I’d be a jackass.

    That’s literally preschool level empathy, and it’s depressing so many people here never learned that






  • Anyone got any thoughts about this?

    Calling them “beggers” is shitty and outdated…

    And with you saying the people who help others only do it for religious reasons…

    It makes me think you should be saying what geographic area you’re in when asking these questions, because it just doesn’t sound like any western country.

    All this stuff might be normal where you’re from, but not where most Lemmy users are.

    Or maybe there’s another reason you keep using terms that are outdated in Europe/Canada/America?


  • Well. That’s not changed by anything in your article …

    It’s interesting and all, but it’s more about how the people they were investigating under pseudonyms were eventually installed over the efforts to get investigate themselves…

    Like, that’s fucking huge. And definitely implies they were really involved in it, but it’s not a smoking gun

    Edit:

    To be clear the most likely explanation has always been the same as Cheney and 9/11…

    They knew it was coming, in general if not specific, and they choose to let it happen because that was what was best for their interests.

    That’s a billion times more likely than the CIA taking explicit actions to lead to the assassinations of a US president. It takes a lot to make something like this happen, very little to know it’s gonna happen and intentionally let it happen.



  • So this is roughly a 64 page paper on his sexual assaults.

    Which is why we got a cap the list somewhere lol.

    But just pointing out that even if his supporters downplay the recent lawsuit, he flat out admitted to violently raping his wife, and spent millions to serve on children and enjoyed that it made them uncomfortable.

    trump raping kids is the least surprising thing that could ever be revealed, and that’s not even getting into an innumerable other reasons.

    Remember who needs to hear the message, and how much they’re able to hold in their head at once to connect to other things.

    Short and sweet, and all the better if it rhymes.

    I miss PoppingKream too, but the people who need convinced tap out at 3 simple facts at once.





  • I mean. They’re FBI agents…

    They all have already had to take at least one to get in, even though they all would have looked into them first and know they don’t work. That’s still not as bad as the guy having to administer the tests who definitely knows it’s bullshit.

    It’s my favorite example of what happens when we let politicians set rules to govern bureaucrats.

    The only reason it’s still given is no one high enough in the FBI to be listened to has managed to explain to a president why it’s stupid.

    A lot of our government is shit because high ranking bureaucrats are shitty are explaining things to idiots
