Segway from one of the big topics, censorship because it can "hurt someone's feelings" is stupid. Words aren't harmful
And you are moderator...



What is this ignorant take ? Of course they can.

Yes, words can kill.

In so many ways..

"Immigrant" is to be censored to "(un)documented" person" because #1 of grown ass adults may find it offensive. Even the work "fuck" is being censored to an extent because less than #1 of adults find it offensive in mature-rated content.
I think I might be time for a trip down to linguistic lane.

First, I recommend to EVERYONE to watch this:



And then, check those ressources from the Leftist Library:

You will understand why using certains words like "illegals" to designate migrants is problematic.

As for the mature rating, it might be simple BS. Which has nothing to do with actual leftist policy and more to do with conservatism.


Quote me where i said the surgeries were the cause of suicide.
The link of causility between the surgery and the suicidal rate was made by some of the articles you shared. But you are right, you never said that. You just "shared"


man i hate how long logiko's posts are. feels like a chore to scroll past them sometimes
Sorry, its my internet "OCD" (not really an OCD), I need to reply to everything I consider worth noting or i'm not feeling good.


dude posts whole bibles worths of text, his leftist library thread is literally the longest thread on the forum iirc, he hit the mark for the amount of words allowed in a thread
Fun fact. I had to trim a LOT of things. If I could I would add a lot of stuff in there.


Wasting his talents on Worstgen lol. Should be a journalist.
I've thought about creating some kind of alt account on twitter to post news on the side, but that would be too chronophage. If I get this kind of motivation, then there is no reason why I can work on my own thing really.

But as a hobby, yeah, why not

@Logiko btw I'm curious (and sorry if I'm bothering you by talking to you a lot lately) what political spectrum do you think I'm on?
I don't mind.
I have no idea. I didn't talk with you enough to know (or I simply do not remember, you know, aside from a few name that are constantly arguing with me, I only remember people by their PP)

I know that you are sensible to some confusionnist ideas like the fact of not calling transphobia what is actually transphobia for example, but on the other hand you seems to respect sincerily trans people or at least have a real desire to respect them, so I guess that you are simply not really informed on the subject...

I really don't know. You can answer a few questions if you want, It will give me an idea :

- Are you more on the materialistic or the idealistic side ?

- What do you think about capitalism :

- Very Good ?​
- Good ?​
- Neutral ?​
- Bad ?​
- Very bad ?​

- About capitalism, do you think we should :

- Replace it by another system ?
- Regulated it until it vanishes ?
- Regulate it just a little bit ?
- Leave it as it is ?
- Strenghten it ?
- Deregulate it ?​
- Do you believe in meritocracy ?

- Do you think we should fight for Trans right no matter the age ?

- Do you think abortion until a certain week should be a constitutionnal right ?

- How would you takles the problems of wealth inequalities in your country ?

- Do you think that "woke people" are a problem ?

- Do you think that rightists are a problem ?

- Do you see Trump as:

- A fascist ?
- A cryptofascist ?​
- A far rightist ?
- A conservatist ?
- A simple rightist ?
- A leftist ?
- A communist ? (No joke, some people actually believe that)
- Do you see Biden as:
- A rightist?
- A leftist ?​
- Do you believe that sociology is a science or not ?

- Do you believe in systemic racism ?

- Do you think that patriarchy is a problem in society and that we must end it ?

- If you could write and decret one law, what would it be ?

- Do you believe that sex work is real work ?

- What do you think about police violences ?

- What do you think about toxic masculinity ?

- What do you think about global warming ?

- What do you think about the saying "every stories are political" ?

- What do you think about anarchism ?

- Is cancel culture something that scares you ?

ETC.

Everyone can answer them if you want guys. Make me lie and show me that I'm wrong when I put labels on you.

(Keep in mind these answers are from someone who doesn't really care nor research about politics, but still has strong political beliefs, if that makes sense)
I think I'm idealistic.
Capitalism: Not sure
Meritocracy: Sounds good imo
Trans rights: I don't think children should get trans surgeries and medicines, I feel that they should mature before they make such life changing decisions. But trans adults can do what they want. I would support them and I wouldn't judge them, besides it's not my business what they do with their body. The only time I wouldn't support a trans person is if they seem to have malicious intent (i.e claiming you're mtf so you can get into a female bathroom and grope women), but it seems like that very rarely happens, so not a big issue.
Abortion: Mm, not sure. Again, taking away a baby's chance to live is pretty serious, but it really just boils down to the circumstances of it. If a girl was raped and has to get an abortion (assuming they couldn't take care of it or it's just too painful and risky to have the baby), then I feel that they should get that abortion. It would be sad to take out the baby before it's even born, but considering how stressful and painful pregnancy is, I think it's the lesser evil (especially since the girl could die from it). It'd be "better" for the baby to die than the girl, imo.
Sociology is a science, yes.
Systemic racism: Yes, it does seem to exist to a degree.
Patriarchy, not sure.
Sex work isn't real work, it's honestly kind of disgusting to me sometimes, not a lot of dignity or skill in it imo.
Police violence is a huge problem.
Toxic masculinity seems to be more common now for some reasons, not sure why, it's kind of terrible.
Anarchism seems like a bad idea.
Again, I've rarely ever cared about politics, and honestly I'm barely any more knowledgeable than a child on it. I just don't care enough to invest time in it and really study political things. So my takes on them will definitely be kind of weird or short sighted.
