@Gelatinousrube I will be joining Musk on his fucking mars suicide rocket gladly at this rate
@Gelatinousrube It's very strange and all happening to fast.
@Gelatinousrube I think people were different. Society was more stratified, much less social safety nets so things like family became absolutely necessary. What scares me most is people's complete detachment from any kind of reality, either moral or physical. It's all feels.
@Gelatinousrube An old friend is a very traditional leftist, and he told me he gave up on it because every piece of work got destroyed by the 'what about group x' brigade. He said they couldn't even get a fucking wall painted without talking about how to correctly decolonize the paint.
@Gelatinousrube There's also this coliseum aspect to it. It's not enough to chide or disagree, the person must be financially and socially obliterated.
@Gelatinousrube Just a few years ago it was seen as rather naff to do the whole 'unsolicited opinions about Israel' bit. Now everyone screams full bore. Likewise it was seen as a bit dim to throw Nazi around. Now it's weird if you *don't* hear it.
@Gelatinousrube You don't need to thank me.
