Some good news.

News of a good disposition seems more than a little sparse right now, so you really have to make the most of it, as and when.

There is some news, however, from Greece. And this news is pretty, pretty good. So we are going to break this particularly good news to you the only way we know how. Enjoy it y'all.

The liberal culture of perpetually walking on eggshells, fearing that whatever you say might offend somebody, or (alternatively) feeling like you are always a victim to everybody's microaggressions is extremely unhealthy.

The conservative culture of perpetually being rude under the guise of "just saying it like it is", completely disregarding that what you say might offend somebody, or entering into conversations always on the defense is extremely unhealthy.

People in both left and right political groups who fit within these behavioral patterns seem to operate off of getting high from feeling righteousness.

These behavioral trends in both groups breed authoritarianism, paranoia, ignorance, aggression, ideological purity, and black and white thinking.

So I’m clear, those rightwing religious freaks are allowed to regularly berate students on college campuses but an anti-genocide movement is where these institutions draw the line?

Qu(wh)ite interesting!

Political apathy is a privilege reserved for people who aren’t constantly being attacked by politicians and their insane policies.

being raised in a very left-leaning and progressive environment for my entire life is so bizarre, because i’ll step outside my little box and i realize that the stuff that i thought was “basic shit” is actually considered extremely controversial.

like what do you mean you didnt know that women get payed less than men???? you’re a teenager, i learned this stuff in like, second grade.

what do you mean it’s “uncomfortable” to hear the word “gay” said out loud????

what do you mean it’s “inappropriate” to teach kids about how systematic oppression works????

like sorry, dude this kinda stuff was literal staples to have in conversation, where i come from. i’ve been labeled as offensive so many times for this. like sorry for being educated? idk what you want from me.
