That’s only true if someone loses. Cancel culture is gone, so outrage is just extra engagement and free advertising.
I’m not saying it’s a good thing, but it’s a reasonable strategy in the cesspool of a cultural climate we have now.
Not that I think this is actually strategic, just lookin on the brightside.
Well said!
Funny how many people overlook that :)
If one of us ever wins the lotto we better get on funding that
B-b-b-bingo
I loved those books as a kid! Probably my introduction to surrealism
My dream job
How it feels trying to make friends as an adult lol
Bring it on, drinky Pete
Literally why
First of all, I’m proud of you for being the kind of person who is self-critical enough to ask questions like this. Things like ‘Do I speak hurtfully?’ And ‘Am I acting with privilege?’ Are hard to seriously ask, because they challenge our entire life structure to some extent, and might even require us to undertake the perilous and difficult task of manually adjusting our beliefs.
Then, to address what you actually asked, I think a general term is in your favor, if it’s true. Would you rather communicate that you feel for everyone undergoing an experience, or just most of them? It’s an easy thing to forget, that non women can become pregnant, and I doubt anyone blames you for misspeaking. That’s not an asshole thing to do. Nor is it an asshole move for someone to correct you. That’s just the dialectic of culture functioning properly and healthily. It’s unfortunate that we’re trained to associate self-change as a negative thing, because we should be questioning ours and other’s beliefs constantly, imo
What a metal name! I wonder how that mixup even started. That one just sounds cooler…
Seriously. Sucks that shooting ourselves in the foot for the culture war seems to be near universal for the information age.
Feed people first. That’s the foundation of a good government. Anything else, and you’re headed in the wrong direction out the gate.
I haven’t seen any proof he did do it either. If we’re weighing the circumstantial evidence available? There’s much more pointing towards that dog being treated well than poorly.
I have also seen a lot of proof that there is a targetted smear campaign against him, which leads me to be a lot more critical of all the info presented by both sides.
A perfectly reasonable take! I tend to have opinions on public figures because I do think accountability of some kind is more important for them than others. I’m not a fan of ‘cancel culture’, but the inverse of it, which allows a felon as president, is not desirable either.
Just to combat misinfo, Hasan clearly did not shock that dog
Lmao that’s too fucking real
We’re wage slaves, we can only afford so much grief and self-hate or we end up homeless and addicted to something
