I don't actually think every problematic expression has a better, longer version with the opposite meaning that oddly enough no one heard of until it surfaced on the internet like ten years ago. I think that is potentially not true

Hot take, you haven’t defined a type of mathematical structure until you’ve defined morphisms between said structures

i said this was going to happen like four years ago (and then three, and two, etc.) and EVERYONE gave me shit about it. i fucking told you it was going to happen!

the essence of being a leftist is as always people getting mad at you for being correct too early

If there was such a character as "The Third-Worldist Chocolatier", this individual might propose that we replace the imperial core with the caramel core. But since it's just a theory there's no way to really know for sure

the fake concern people who hate sex work show is so funny because like “what about the long term consequences” babe YOU are the long term consequences. you ate up the thinly cloaked propaganda against us because it made you feel righteous and now you’re reinforcing the same stigma yourself. you’re the reason this shit keeps going. if you’d stop faking concern to us and leave us alone, like… over half of our problems would be solved.

Human culture isn't designed intentionally by anyone. Human culture is emergent, and is built continuously by everyone through the constant feedback loop of interaction with other people, individual experience, and social learning. No one is designing it from the top down.

It is a mistake to assume that any aspect of human culture is "for" anything in the narrow sense. Certainly culture emerges out of a historical process which can often be traced, and certainly there is the broad sense of "purpose" in which an aspect of culture might be perpetuated because it benefits certain people in certain ways, etc., but this is all an unplanned, decentralized, non-directed process. There have been efforts in human history by powerful institutions—like states—to shape culture in particular ways, and sometimes they see some amount of success, but the vast, vast majority culture is not produced in this way.

There's a particular post I'm vaguing here, whose political orientation I don't even particularly disagree with, but it significantly rubbed me the wrong way because it was worded as if culture was basically something engineered from the top down, in which everything has a discernible, coherent "purpose" that can be logically deduced. No! I don't think that's actually true!

Sorry to have a Lib Moment but Standards and Law are important and you're an idiot to say they're not. The slaughterhouse is ten times worse without the finger guards, which is why actual leftists spent decades getting them installed.

i really hate 'power of love' stories not because i'm a jaded cynic or whatever but because i always find something deeply offputting and misanthropic in how they are almost always set up in a way that implies that the protagonist is the only person in the world capable of love

I think the historical treatment of left handed people is objectively the funniest form of bigotry mankind has ever displayed
