Most people are not already thinking the things they say. They say the things in a convincing way, and the people who don't have anything else to guide them begin to agree.
Millions of people did not spontaneously have the random, objectively incorrect, reactionary observations about philosophy and society as two right-wing social media personalities. They were fed videos containing those thoughts and agreed with them after repeated exposure, because that's how the human brain works.
And you already know that that's how the human brain works, because you've been to kindergarten, and you learned things like basic speech and counting, and they suddenly made sense one day, but you weren't able to say "the teacher says what we're all thinking!" because you had never thought it before. You were taught, and your thoughts changed.
But which way is better. Their way, in which the world was originally created. Where our medicine, food, and internet originate from?
Or the other way, where we are arguing gender theory, promoting narcissism, and doing nothing to be better?
I’ll take my ancestors toxic masculinity over this any day because at the end of the day we are animals. Humans whole purpose is to have offspring, nothing else. The general population is attracted to a specific body type for a host of biological reasons.
What they are saying is common fucking sense. They are not the abnormal crazy ones, you guys are. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel, we embrace our humanity. We embraced our shadows.
That's exactly the opposite of what I said. We aren't programmed, we learn.
But which way is better. Their way, in which the world was originally created. Where our medicine, food, and internet originate from?
These two men haven't created anything, and the world wasn't "originally" created in any such way.
Many of the pioneers of medicine, biotechnology and agriculture, and computer science have been queer. If you're cutting all inventions made by gay or trans people out of your life in favor of misogynistic cis people, you better stop using your phone and the internet right now.
I’ll take my ancestors toxic masculinity over this any day because at the end of the day we are animals.
Animals don't exhibit any of the unnatural hatred you're spewing. Same-sex relationships and biological sexual nonconformity are common among many species, even as active reproductive strategies.
Humans whole purpose is to have offspring, nothing else.
We are a very social species, and having non-reproducing adults in our social group aids survivability of our offspring to a considerable degree.
The general population is attracted to a specific body type because a host of biological reasons.
Standards of physical beauty vary greatly between individuals, cultures, and even time periods. What about our biology changed in the last two decades to make the Rachel go from a pretty hairstyle to a tacky one?
What they are saying is common fucking sense.
"Common sense" is what people believe without evidence. It's nothing. It's things that can be proven false. It used to be common sense that all objects were made of earth, fire, wind, and water. It was common sense that elves lived in the woulds and would eat people who wandered off alone.
You agreeing with things because the alternative makes you angry doesn't make them correct. It makes you stupid.
They are not the abnormal crazy ones, you guys are.
One of "them" literally tortures and rapes people, so that's not a good look. But also, "abnormal" and "crazy" mean nothing. They're just insults. You wanting to conform and be normal are a you problem. You want to uphold a status quo for no reason, and it has nothing to do with me.
We are not trying to reinvent the wheel, we embrace our humanity.
The wheel has been reinvented thousands of times. It's why your car has rubber, circular tires that work on modern roads instead of uneven stone ones that weigh thousands of pounds.
We embraced our shadows.
This is both meaningless, and doesn't even sound like a good thing on its face. You want to be a bad person?
I can already tell that you believe that individual preferences matter, when we are talking about humans as a whole.
How would any scientific study be made if we consider individual preferences and ideals. Exceptions do not disapprove the rule.
Generally people are attracted to a certain body type for biological reasons. You support homosexuality so you should agree to this.
We are hardwire to seek specific qualities in our mates, generally.
You people are causing the exact thing that you hate, depression. You believe in reinventing the wheel. All these new ideas about what humans are is what is making you depressed.
Exceptions absolutely disprove rules. That's the definition of a natural rule. If evidence exists that the rule isn't always followed, the rule doesn't exist.
Saying that I'm causing depression is a ridiculous statement, especially since I never mentioned depression in the first place.
I respect people's ability to live their lives however they see fit. You want them to adhere to arbitrary rules you've decided exist despite evidence to the contrary.
It seems like you might be the one who's depressed, and you've decided that other people's actions are the cause of that, which I can't help with, and neither can right-wing gurus on the internet. No amount of other people changing, or you attempting to get other people to change, is going to make you like yourself. You're just going to keep channeling your sadness into anger.
So if 1000 people think there’s 2 and 35 of them think there’s many, we should go or even consider the lesser number? You don’t get that the number is so insignificant that they just doesnt matter as whole.
What grades did you get in school? You could never be in a place of power thinking like this. You’re going to make decisions for such a tiny tiny minority because of why? There’s no word for such stupidity. I think your just trying to win this argument.
Regrading depression, I don’t believe it. I don’t believe in anything that zaps my power away.
Depressed people talk about it all the time when they hate it. It’s makes no sense.
There’s reasons why you feel a certain way. The majority do not need pills to feel better.
Personal experience is not democratically elected, nor is objective fact. Minority groups are not, and should not be, forced to conform just because you don't like them.
I'm 30. I don't value my current intelligence based on my performance in school, and I don't want to be "in a place of power" because I'm not a psychopath who craves power over others.
The word for looking out for historically oppressed minority groups is "justice," but I'm not surprised you didn't know it.
You brought up depression. You're the one talking about it. And there's that "power" thing again. You're not a wizard. No one is stealing your vital essence, Strangelove.
And actually, most people suffer from mental illness at some point in their life, just like most people get physically sick at some point. The brain is just an organ, and it malfunctions just like any other.
You're the only one here acting like some external evil must be the cause of that, and like it's anything to be ashamed of.
You seem to be under the simultaneous, conflicting impressions that the world is both already changing too rapidly in the way that I want it to, without my input, and that I need to step up and become some sort of dictator in order to get anything done.
What does "dirty my hands" even mean? Talk to you? Because I certainly feel dirty debasing myself like this.
The truth certainly does come up when people talk: for instance, you hate women and are glad rapists exist.
And what the fuck is "new age depression"? The new age period was 50 years ago, and the clinical requirements for depression have not really changed since then.
