The anti-capitalize toggle is interesting. Is that an accessibility feature?

I did a full 180 from complete authoritarianism. I’d watch movies like The Giver and get annoyed that the protagonist was ruining the great thing the govt had going

It started out as parentheses but I’ve seen it done with quotation marks

Heads up, triple quotation marks can look like an antisemitic dog whistle when used in relevant contexts

Aw 😅 you did a really great job of it though! It adds a lot of useful context and details that I didn’t bother to mention

This is a great answer! It definitely won’t be taken seriously, but I did mean it lol. My practice is explicitly anarchist, so teaching their students about Marxism would quite literally prepare them for working with me

I’m a therapist and I operate an educational clinic; part of my role as a supervisor in this dynamic is completing evaluations of the interns for their schools.

The screenshot is from one of those forms from a university asking me for feedback, and I told them a way that their program can better prepare their students for working with me is to teach them about Marx/Marxism

According to my app this was the boobth post

“Bacon” in the states specifically refers to streaky bacon, while “Canadian bacon” refers to back bacon

3 is the breakfast buffet pile of hours old leathery bacon all stuck together with lukewarm grease.

Edit:

I’ve been vegan for 10 years and I still miss 2-3 style bacon. Vegan bacon does a good job if you like Canadian bacon and/or 4-6 on this chart, but nobody has made fatty vegan bacon that’s good around 2-3 cookedness

I … know almost no people born between 1990 and 2000.

But I know a bunch of GenZ … approaching … 30

How are both of these true

I don’t actively do it with the intention to make people submit. I do it because I don’t care about them and being mean to them is funny and good (we are talking about people who ultimately support fascism, here)

But also I don’t dunk on people I might have any genuine independent influence on; I do try to do the ‘support them into growing into the people they could be’ thing for those folks

Hexbears’ bullying absolutely worked on me lmao

Hmm, I guess I’m different. I know people often respond to shame in particular with defensiveness, but they should read Brené Brown and then not do that anymore /lh. Pretty sure research on guilt though shows that specific and appropriate guilt more often leads to constructive change, with embarrassment being kinda between shame and guilt.

Someone else asked a similar question to the first half of my comment. Are you open to sharing your perspective on those bits?

Do we use it as an insult? Or is it just an insulting thing to be called because being a liberal is bad and embarrassing? Do proud liberals actually take it as an insult? When I call Bibi a fascist, I’m not insulting him- I’m labeling him accurately.

Do you mean turning it into a pejorative like with shitlib? Do you mean that we should stop insulting liberals?

Regardless of those semantics (which I am asking about genuinely and am curious to hear your thoughts on):

I feel like it’s a double edged sword- social pressure, guilt, and shame are all really effective at influencing people. I want liberals in our spaces to think “Oh shit, should I be embarrassed to be a liberal?”. I think radlibs in particular are a perfect target for this- surely if they realized how embarrassing it is, they’d move further left?
