It's seriously insane how hard people are working to misinterpret you, there's no way people other than op are approaching this in good faith. You made it clear you're not a tankie, these people just can't stand the idea that their beliefs require proof or that there are people who aren't swayed by rhetoric alone (edit I def thought this was a tankie comment at first, that's how it sounded at first but you've made it abundantly clear that's not what it is)

"You're trying to prove a negative, they should just realize that" "they should just" is a pointless take to have on anything. people will never "just", they need convincing, and different people are convinced by different things. It's a tough subject to research, you've got one side claiming they're all nazis that deserve to be conquered and another that thinks they're all saints and can do no wrong, and I don't blame people at all for wanting evidence that the very real nazi groups in Ukraine aren't representative of everyone there, or even the whole military

Feels a lot to me like "Well imagine if you were gay in Gaza". Whether or not there's a lot of shitty elements to their culture, imperialist aggression is evil and civilians don't deserve to be killed and have their homes and children stolen, and the side you support should be perfectly clear from that alone (I say all this knowing I'm probably more likely to be hate crimed for being gay in Ukraine than Gaza, because again, a country having a lot of nazis doesn't excuse invasion and ethnic cleaning)

That's probably true of most things people think/say about the IDF at this point. Even my massively zionist "most moral military" aunt is calling it a genocide and is starting to oppose them

I'm cool with fighting for some things liberals also fight for, especially those kinda of voting reforms, bc along with ensuring conservatives lose every election, i bet it'd force liberals to actually appeal to the left to not risk losing to real progressives. Sadly they'll prob stop supporting that the moment it actually threatens to change the status quo at all

"as opposed to picking the non-fascist" Liberals are fascists. They have done nothing at all to oppose trump. When they stop siding with fascists over progressives literally every single time, maybe you'll have something remotely resembling a point

When there's 9 people at a table and a fascist sits, etc etc

THERE ARE MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR

QUIT EXCUSING YOUR UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR LIBERALS

Just say you love killing gazans and getting fascists into office, there's no other explanation for thinking democrats are even remotely decent

Tell yourself that all you want buddy. I wish I hadn't voted for her, it was stupid voting for someone who clearly gives no shits about fighting fascism or preventing genocide, and I won't be voting for blue presidents ever again bc they're only going to get further and further right

Wow til W made gitmo, I was too young to remember so I assumed it'd been a thing for decades

The people denying this are the same ones who screamed collusion the first time around, and this is infinitely more clear and obvious. Why are you so desperate to assert that trump won fair and square as it becomes clearer and clearer that isn't the case?

I'm just glad some of y'all are starting to realize, I remember getting banned from multiple communities for stating the obvious cx

Clearly anyone who cares about Gaza is an ML, good point. Quit blaming people who don't like genocide for Trump. This mentality, the way you blame everything on Trump and Russia rather than taking responsibility, ensures democrats will never will again. And I'm so so happy about that considering they're the left wing of fascism and do nothing to stop Trump besides basic party line shit, and how wholeheartedly they supported the genocide of Gaza

"while allowing the trump administration to operate unencumbered" every right wing accusation is a confession

My headcanon is that only replicated things can be reabsorbed like that, bc otherwise you're right and almost everything can be recycled. maybe it's not efficient enough to do with random rocks, but if that's the case then I don't see how a stopwatch could be a meaningful amount of energy

 
 

I forgot how openly transphobic this instance often is, why the fuck did the mods try to move here and why is it still here??

 
 

I just see a bunch of people who used to like the community now saying the mods are evil and power tripping and stuff. It's the an actual reason? Why do we hate the mods over one small decision? Is it not as small as I realize?

Idk it just feels really shitty seeing people in the new blahaj 196 brigade the new community the mods set up, do you really have to downvote everything here just bc you disagree with the mods? I don't think .world was the best choice, but Ada is real bad for power tripping and permabanning people for dissenting opinions sometimes, and I respect the decision to move. I'm not big on being banned bc I dared question whether or not trump (the guy who cheated last election) cheated, so the move is very much good news imo. What really is the issue here?

 

 

Here you go, a "real" source. He said there were more bullet ballots than there likely really are, but there's still a really suspiciously high number of them. How is this not at least worth investigating?

 
 

I'm sorry if this is the wrong community for this, my problem is prob more from BPD or some other mental illness I have than directly autism, though depression and anxiety are common in autistic people. I posted in a BPD community but it's pretty dead, I hope this isn't too off topic for here, I just really need some advice on this and Idk who to ask besides my therapist.

My intrusive thoughts and mental state in general are a lot better now that I've had therapy and antidepressants for a few years, but one issue I still really struggle with is revisiting times when someone hurt me, intentionally or not, even if it's a resolved situation I'm not still mad about, and getting mad about it again.

Below are two examples, you don't need to read them but it might help explain my problem.

I did this a few months ago and drove away my fiance over a small mess she made in my place. She made it as a trauma response, we had a wonderful conversation about it after and I wasn't upset at her at all. But I managed to make it a huge deal in my head later, and since she'd said before she wants me to clean my space better or let her help clean, I thought she was a hypocritical asshole. I verbally abused her over text and made an ultimatum, saying she had to apologize for it or I wouldn't talk to her anymore. She left, blocked me on everything, and the engagement is off. We exchanged letters recently, and at least maybe we can still be friends again some day.

A more recent example is with my dad. I was trying to quit cigarettes and take a break from weed, so I asked him to hold onto my ID so I wouldn't be tempted to get any since I'm kinda addicted and can't control myself when I can get a fix. We went out and about for a doctor's appointment next to a dispensary, and I was gonna be super proud of myself for not having gotten anything there. But my dad thought I might wanna get some weed, so he brought my ID. While he was getting weed, I spent 15 minutes wailing and trying to resist getting stuff, but I caved and got weed and cigs. I still feel really ashamed about my lack of self control, and I think that event really fucked with my mindset about quitting and made it a lot harder to try again. I don't want to be mad at him, and I've already talked to him about it, but I'm trying to quit again, and I already struggle a lot more with intrusive thoughts like that while sober, but I'm having a really hard time not protecting my shame onto him. I don't want to talk to him about it again, i think he already feels really guilty for sabotaging my quit and I don't want to drag that back up.

Talking to the people I'm mad at about it can make me less upset, but I can't just bring up old shit like that every time my brain makes me upset about it. With my fiance I should've just talked to her about how I felt and we could've worked through it together, but that isn't the solution to most things like this, esp when they're already resolved issues.

Tl;Dr I sometimes dredge up old memories of others hurting me and make myself upset about them again, and I really need a healthy way to deal with them other than just bottling it up or talking to them about it every time

 

They don't give a fuck about minimizing suffering, they gladly eat food grown by slaves, or overconsume things some communities rely on, or replace things made of leather with things made of plastic that'll break down into microplastics. They force their shit into pets like cats who can't thrive on a vegan diet. And that's assuming they don't just call you a nazi for even having a pet, or steal your pet from you so they can kill it. And ofc they're just the most holier than thou pieces of shit anywhere, who think everyone who isn't vegan is literally as bad as a fascist.

Yall are weird. Really weird. And you don't have to be this harmful. Quit getting even more plastic shit, stop abusing pets, quit taking food from indigenous people who need it. You can minimize animal products without replacing them with even worse things, and failing to do so makes you just as much of an irredeemable fascist as the rest of us. Human suffering is not preferable to animal suffering. If you disagree, you are literally a sociopath
