my fatal flaw is that if i don't want to do something i just won't do it like mama raised a quitter for sure.. i'll be doing something and suddenly be like damn what if i just didn't 🤔. very freeing but also i suffer so many consequences
Leftists in like 2016-2021: I can’t believe people are denying that the civil war was about slavery! And trying to say that COVID wasn’t real or was exaggerated! People died!
Leftists now: The Holocaust didn’t happen and if it did then those dirty Jews Zionists just exaggerated the whole thing!

Leftists in like 2016-2021: Yeah, let’s all punch Nazis! Fuck those white supremacist assholes!
Leftists now: Well, actually, maybe the Nazis were right about the Jews—I mean, they wouldn’t have committed a genocide against them if they didn’t do anything to deserve it, because we all know hatred and bigotry are totally logical.

Leftists in like 2016-2021: “One bad cop” is a product of a flawed and bigoted system, and that means the system needs to change! And if there’s a Nazi in your group and they’re not being kicked out, then you’re all Nazis!
Leftists now: One Nazi in our protest doesn’t mean that we’re all being bigoted, even though we’re spouting the same shit they are. Also, we’re just gonna ignore the fact that Nazis are trying to recruit people from our group because we’re being so antisemitic.
I think it would be cool if apartment buildings had like some sort of a shared living room, like a mutual common room downstairs next to the laundry, where any one of the residents is free to go hang out but there's no pressure or obligation to do so. Just giving the option of getting to meet your neighbours on common ground, get to know each other, build a sense of community. Having the option of like inviting your neighbours over for tea without having to have anyone come into your home.
Also make it soundproof so those of the residents who want to throw parties can do that without bothering their neighbours who'd want to sleep without hearing someone blasting music. But the party people must keep in mind that any of the neighbours can join in whenever they please - they're not crashing the party, since this is their place too, as they live here.
The entire idea of the egg as "someone who is trans but ~doesn't realize it yet~" instead of "someone who would clearly be happier if they chose to be trans" has broken a lot of people's brains
