How many times have you faked your own death?

Don’t threaten me with a good time

You joke, but you don’t know the level of depravity in this lil brain

You don’t know for sure that it isn’t 😏

All the more reason for me to have my shit locked down and not respond to people I don’t know.

Like honestly I haven’t had a sketchy interaction on social media for years because all my shit is private and I don’t use my real name or even a picture of my face anymore.

Billionaires do deserve to die for being billionaires though.

You can’t amass that type of wealth without being responsible for human suffering en masse. It’s impossible.

That’s because a conservative woman is the definition of a fucking “pick me”

Talk about ingratiating yourself to your oppressor. Jfc she’s such a fuckin idiot.

Aight dude

I definitely saw several comments that strike me as political, which is exactly my point, everyone has a different definition.

When every aspect of your life is affected by politics, everything is political.

100%

Internet by the people, and for the people, truly.

The problem is politics impacts everything and the word “political” means different things to different people.

To some, talking about being gay is political, even though to people who are in that community, it’s literally just talking about their lives.

If you allow wolves and sheep into a space, that is a wolves-only space.

(For context, I agree with you.)

Sure, if you think of it as purely semantic, or a zero sum game with no nuance, but it’s not.

Gotta be intolerant of those being needlessly cruel to those just trying to live their lives, and gotta be tolerant of those just trying to live their lives that don’t affect you, even if you find it cringey.

I’ve noticed most discussions i have here end with a LOT less anger and a LOT more learning and that makes me happy.

If there’s one thing the French are good at, it’s resistance

I agree with most of your points here and had to give you an upvote for this one.

The last bit about how some things are “good in theory/not in practice” is a phrase I’ve heard a lot, but it often ignores the systematic structures in play to actively prevent those things from working in practice.

Take communism for example. Cuba was very near being functional and working in practice, if it weren’t for the west actively interfering in it to ensure it didn’t work and that this [anti-communist] rhetoric would be viable. Good in theory/not in practice just lacks nuance imo, but i understand what you’re getting at and we don’t need to get into it as you’ve gone into plenty of depth already and I don’t feel like discussing it further.

Thanks for getting back on track, I feel like people (including myself!) were misunderstanding your initial point but I feel like this comment represents it better.

I just feel like your anger is directed in the wrong place here. DEI related initiatives aren’t the cause for men being left behind.

Often men are left behind because capitalists find them easier to exploit. The rhetoric that it’s because women are being favoured is false, and i can think of plenty of examples, medically and otherwise, but pushing that rhetoric onto young men to sow resentment towards women and therefore division within the working class is very intentional on the ruling class’s part.

If we can get this back on the rails for a moment:

Was your initial point that Angus bringing up DEI related initiatives in relation to Canada won’t help get the attention of young men?

If so, I don’t disagree, because as I mentioned before, using that rhetoric is a pointed distraction from the class divide, and there was a reason the right was able to seduce young men.

I’m not great at articulating myself, but I have found a video that possibly better explains the reason why

Ignore the clickbaitey title, it’s actually quite a good video

Who knows if he’s actually quitting for good considering the attention he’s getting right now. He’s almost more vocal now even

Ya ya ya I get that. I already deleted my comment before you responded, guess this app lags.

My issue with this is that, with all the ways the medical community has failed women over the centuries, and still does, I just don’t understand why you’re focusing so heavily on the one time recently that boys were left behind.

Do you advocate for equitable medical studies and treatment when girls are left behind, too, or is it just to prove a point?
