Obviously this is a bit in jest but everyone is fine "correcting" crap they think is justified to correct.

i think most people will appreciate you saying latinx

if you are part of a marginalized group and you hear other people change their language to show you some respect, dignity, inclusion, acknowledgment... it feels good.

I think filthy is more of a "just do what's right" kind of person.

black people are not a homogeneous group. they are different, just like white people. you have all kinds of white people, and you have all kinds of black people... which is what i think you are saying, but you say it in kind of a racist way.

you wouldn't say "idk how much donald trump has in common with white people" because you don't think of white people as one giant group that is all the same, right?

i'm not sure what you mean. most of your posts are unclear to me lol... idk if it's me or you, or a bit of both.

using latino to describe women and trans people is sexist bs that has been handed down for generations. **** that!

On that note I do think people fall into a "trap" of seeing groups as monolithic. So when different people within that "group" have contradictory views they feel the group as a whole does, which may not be the case.

For you I don't think you would care and you would just mock people and call them racist when they try to change cultures when not justified but say they have a moral imperative to do it when they are justified.

I do think I and maybe many people lose sight of "just do what's right" too often.

Filthy I think we vaguely agree, black people should be willing to call out kamala if they think it's justified and not not do it just because she's black (which goes back to a "rule" that black people can't call out black people for *reasons*)

And white people should call out kamala as well if they think it's justified and not avoid it because they're white, but you'll have to parse out the ones doing it because of bad intent and the ones with good.

there are a lot of materially comfortable americans, many white, who think a biden presidency will be good for them. idk if you are part of that group or not, but i think it's incorrect. i honestly don't think a biden/harris/corporate regime will be good for ANYONE

you and jeff bezos would be better off living in a just, sustainable world, where people aren't trying to exploit each other, and the planet.

It has 2 whistleblowers in it, who worked as government private contractors and they explain how it works. Also lol at that link of the video being down and the person who made the documentary got arrested on a sealed indictment

Wait wait, is this the rainbow snatch doc?

Lo ****ing L

why would someone listen to a podcast from you, when they could actually watch the documentary? it has 0 hate speech and i have 0 clue what does "rainbow snatch" mean?

Youtube is deleting it, but it has nothing to do with hate speech. Maybe it is speech you hate... though

Rainbow snatch is Millie Weaver's self proposed nickname.

As for why people should listen to mine... Well, for 1: it's funny and informative. And for 2. It isn't from somebody who works for ****ing infowars and Alex Jones.

Also, her indictment isnt sealed so you can take off the tinfoil. Shes a thief.

At this point the mental gymnastic required to continue to support Trump baffle me, so I intentionally tune out most of his speeches, actions, justifications, rationalizations, and those by his supporters.

That said I really enjoy discussing recipes with JSmith, so please continue to link me to any of those.

I guess I misread this to think this means she couldn't have benefited from it but I think you meant she deserves it because women don't benefit from it as much.

Lefto women just pray to the Crone for help, at least the ones who don't follow the Old Gods.

No, I meant the first. It's unlikely that she significantly benefited but whatever if she did.

And I get the best results when I honor the Maiden, Mother, and Crone equally, but YMMV, kioshk.
