I'm playing minecraft and I'm thinking of those "affirmations" meme pages they have for colleges but for minecraft. So it's things like "These diamonds are NOT directly over lava" "I CAN open this ancient city chest without summoning the warden" "This block does NOT contain a silverfish" "I will NOT step on the pressure plate in the middle of the desert pyramid secret room" "My bees will NOT kill me" and i can't even describe how funny it is to me

kinda miss social media in 2012 where the concept of an influencer didn’t exist and everyone was using instagram’s premade filters and posting pictures of random shit like a handful of skittles or an overexposed sunset those were the days

I’m reading The Deviants War: The Homosexual vs The United States of America and the entire point of gay pride as a concept comes from police raids on bars, clubs, public restrooms, etc where gays were humiliated and outed in the newspapers (sometimes with their addresses!) and had careers ruined and lives upended by being associated with perversion and vice squads and all that and they responded by going “no I’m proud” and took that pride to the streets in defiance of the huge mechanism of shame that existed to oppress the gay community into obscurity and so the fact that people are now trying to apply conservative dogma to pride parades to make them “safe for children” or in other words “safe for people with oppressive conservative values” is simply insane

fyi the point of fucking up your data patterns isnt to avoid suspicion. it’s to make EVERYONE suspicious. same logic as the bloc, pals.  protect your comrades, be suspicious. ESPECIALLY if you aren’t doing anything likely to get you arrested.

imagine comparing animal rights activism (veganism) to pseudoscience shit like astrology and magical thinking. acting like there isn’t mountains of scientific evidence pointing to the excessive harms of animal agriculture on both nonhumans and humans… very cringe!

I don't know how to explain to you that this is exactly how they get you.

Something that has mostly solid evidence backing it is just as good a gateway to The Pseudoscience Abyss as something that isn't evidence-based at all. The danger is in the thinking patterns it can lead you to.

There's a lot of rhetoric among some vegan communities about how going vegan is The Solution To Almost Everything (the 'original sin' idea where problems can be traced back to one thing), how The Industry suppresses evidence and people who work in The Industry can't be trusted (this is the foundation of a conspiracy theory), how people are only against the solution because they prioritize self-gratification (conservative evangelicalism at work!), and there is...a lot of misinformation.

Veganism is in an especially potent position because of its appeal to people who have already swallowed the "clean eating/purify your body with Natural Food" pill. Natural Food is the biggest gateway into conspiracy shit, period.

And it's very much entangled in questions of morality and strong emotions from people, which means people are vulnerable to forgetting their brains.

i swear to god NOTHING makes me more pissed off then when everyone is like “oouheuehghoughough ough [thing] is so good it’s a classic you’ll love it” and they say it SO OFTEN that you resolve on principle to loathe [thing] with your entire being but when you actually get around to experiencing [thing] it literally IS That Good. physically trembling with rage at the fact that hamlet actually is one of the best plays ever written.
