in college i was a member of the young communist league i organized rallies and sit ins and i volunteered at an anarchist collective but things were very different back then

I prefer rational people who are open to change the way they think over redpilled ideology zealots

i like to think at least i hope that im an independant thinker

Everyone is dumb. guided by feelings. But no matter how rational you are, the strongest scientist, when it comes to hard decisions they always choose emotions. Name one scientist who hated what they do. Exactly. When you challenge your primal emotions, that's when you are able to experience new ideas. Otherwise it is just an experiment. Wew, I've gone too far.

No no I see what you mean, very true

im very controlled by feelings ive taught myself to disconnect in a sense i think its better described as ive used a form of desentizing on myself

exposure therapy i guess

i honestly dont envy the youth coming out of a safe space culture

In the end, I think because we forced to confront ourselves, it is a bad thing. Why should we be dragged into the torment? We all know the bad condition which bring us to this. But let's not celebrate. Deep down, we all know things have to change. I don't know what that is, exactly. But there is something stirring in us and others. It will come out more and more in the future.

i hope youre right i worry about the next generation

opposition cant be avoided forever

We are all martyrs on the dartboard of oppression.

yes

Would you have not become what others will soon be?

As long as we are together.

Bracing the wave.

i spent a great deal of time lamenting the thought that their were people who didnt see things as i did but i was very young and idealistic

but i wasnt sheltered and that was a good thing

i see young people in their late teens and twenties just cant handle opposition they get so upset by it

Mmmmmmm

They are angry and in offensive mode.

take the issueat berkley with milo and honestly i dont care about his opinions he just says things to get under peoples skin and they let him

Haha, of course he does.

the best course of action in that situation would have been to do nothing

just let him give his talk

the people causing all the chaos made him even more popular and it was self defeating

have you ever seen the movie merlin?

with bill paxton

Unfortunately, we are born into this cruel world. Maybe they are so shelted they they do not even know the bad things that have happened to them. I can have many ideas of how they could do better, but I can only catch them.

From the 80s?

That was a long time ago.

early mid nineties

I remember watching it, but not recently.

in that movie merlin was battling queen mab in the end he defeated her because everyone simply turned their backs and walked away

she was forgotten and lost all of her power

Yes, that is my fantasy also, making people walk away. But, there is a strong right wing now. They have to be embarassed.

theyre not that strong

I think I mean violent, not strong.

Violence needs its own kind of attention.

the rise in the right grows because once dormant fringes have been galvanized
