On the Intellectual(?) Dark Web.
Apparently, there's something called "the #Intellectual Dark Web," a group of #conservatives who use big words to obfuscate meaning and common sense, all in the hopes of empowering #fascists and #racists in the #Western world. This group includes fascist favorites like Sam #Harris, Jordan #Peterson, Dave #Rubin, and Ben #Shapiro.
All I'm thinking right now is, "Wow. This is the best they can do?" And it is. There is nothing intellectual about them; they only cosplay intellectuals while shilling for the most #extremist elements of the contemporary #American #right wing. They have no #principles, as evidenced by how often they contradict themselves, often in the same sentence.
Unfortunately, these folks are very good at convincing folks who are less educated (not less intelligent, just less formally educated) than they that they're "geniuses" who are only "concerned" about the direction our #society is headed in.
They're not. Pick up a dictionary, keep Google close, and listen to one of them speak for a few minutes. #Factcheck everything they say. You'll quickly find that they're either ignorant, liars, or both.
My bet is on both.
P.S. Be suspicious of anyone who says "I'm going to tell you things that they don't want you to know." Ask them who "they" is. Ask them what motivation "they" have to hide the "truth" from you. Ask them how they were able to learn that which had been so effectively hidden from you. The conspiracy theorist in them will slither right out of their mouths like an especially aggressive tapeworm.

Trolling done right, confrontation while remaining polite and following laws

@errante @hermit @bless I used to think Satanism was foolish until I understood it to be majority roleplay, very few satanists are serious, it's trolling through performance art, not legitimate. The few who are serious about it do have the problem though of "playing the game in the enemies home court" by opposing Christianity while being unable to escape Christianity without itself becoming meaningless.
@mrsaturday @vriska Someone knocked me offline because I was having a mental breakdown on halo 3 once
In 2020, Nature endorsed Joe Biden in the US presidential election.
A survey finds that viewing the endorsement did not change people’s views of the candidates, but caused some to lose confidence in Nature and in US scientists generally (Nature)
it turns out when we do politics people trust us less as scientists
I want to lose weight somehow so I feel confident and worthy of love so I can let people see me (can't go on dates if I'm scared of being looked at)
Maybe the solution isn't changing my body, maybe it's my attitude :C
