  • You joke but that logic actually makes the original phrase kinda moot now that I think about it. Because on the one hand you’re right, you need to understand hate to practice it. But on the other hand there’s no need to hate yourself in order to hate someone else. For example a victim of a violent crime has no need to hate themselves and is morally justified in hating their aggressor. So by that logic, there’s also no intrinsic need to love yourself in order to love others either. Surely loving yourself would make you more experienced at loving others but it’s not really a prerequisite like the phrase wants to make it…

    What is being discussed uses language that was decided by the same DSM that up until a few decades ago labeled homosexuality as a mental illness and caused Turing to be chemically castrated with the same estrogen that trans people line up for today, and then to kill himself over the violation of his bodily autonomy, and then to be stamped on £50 bills as a retroactive apology. That’s what’s being discussed.

    Language is used to pathologize people for seeing things objectively. Systemic critique gets converted into personal failure. If you look at how the anglosphere operates through language you’ll realize that 99% of English serves the grammatical purpose of shifting the blame downwards and to pathologize people with thought-terminating clichés that imply that their own “free will” (which can’t be proven to exist and which the elite doesn’t believe in) is the root of their problems. Not the material conditions. But your reaction to them. Obviously. Because it’s never material conditions created by a person who can be punched, it’s always something wrong with you specifically. And with an ever-increasing proportion of the world population, apparently. The rise of depression is proof that the therapist class is doing a shit job at healing people, mostly because if they heal you they can’t pay their mortgage anymore; and besides it’s not like they can actually fix capitalism so they just sell you copium and tell you that you should be glad to be huffing it.

    So in conclusion: why does everything suck? Because language is captured so thoroughly that you can’t even express the plain truth that your eyes observe without being categorized as something that can be used to reduce you to a manageable stereotype. So you internalize the stereotype and wonder why the cognitive dissonance you’re feeling hurts so much, and then you’re billed hourly to cope with it.

    In order to succeed and be happy you don’t need therapy, you need lawyers who can litigate semantics and threaten people until they give up and leave you alone. Impunity is happiness for the untouchable.


  • Well you didn’t add any caveats to the transformation and you said it’s at will so… If mass is not conserved then I’d just turn into something heavy yet compact like a rhino and harvest infinite energy from the toggling. If I get support from a State I might even choose a whale so we can extract the most energy per toggle. You can basically build an engine from it, and since whales are like 200 tons and I’m 70kg, the conversion ratio would be pretty damn good. Though it would require a dedicated facility, which is why I’d rather go with a rhino or something, which is however about 100 times less efficient so it would require 100 times as much toggling. You get the picture.


  • Maybe if they didn’t copy and paste the social media they’re allegedly fleeing from, with all of its dark patterns minus the ad networks, people would take this shithole seriously. They don’t because it just enforces a new form of groupthink which is still brainrotted by american idpol. I’m tired boss. I want to say slurs online without the thought police coming to get me. While also being a leftist. I’m contradictory like that, you see. Blinded by hate and so on and so forth. eating from the trash can of ideology. and I still want to call people retards when they’re being fucking retards; fight me.

    If you need any evidence just read the other comments in this thread: everyone is virtue signaling that they’re on the good team, then they’re infighting to define what that team even is. In my book, it’s a bunch of retards. OP is also a retard for posting their room temperature IQ takes as an image instead of as text. Exactly the sort of brainlet takes that social media encourages.

    Also just because you can use mspaint it doesn’t mean that your strawman comics are worth looking at. See? This is what I miss. Being an asshole online so that people can look at their own output and consider that maybe it does suck, and maybe they do need to put in more effort. That’s the sort of feedback that people can work on, because it directly attacks their ego. Oh well.
