I don't see that as sad. Also, even if we lived four hundred years we'd still need to write things down because we'd eventually die.

Conservatives are liberals based upon the meaning of words. Do you know what liberalism is? It's not gay rights and lattes.

it's actually short for petite peeve, because it's something small and unimportant. Or maybe it's not, but you don't know.

such an odd thing to do.

I don't know why you would go on the "people talking about events" platform and being surprised people are talking about events that aren't happy. That's just poor planning. I mean yeah, be there for your friends, but you should be able to have light or pleasant conversation pretty often, and steer away from troubling topics when you aren't up for it, far easier than online.

The bare minimum you can do is listen when someone is in pain and stand witness when they are under attack. I want to see when people are suffering, so I can figure out how to help, or at very least show solidarity. Obviously I can't take this in at all hours of every day, but that's time I spend alone or with an IRL friend, not on an online messaging board.

so you admit that you get mostly leftist death threats because you avoid groups that would send more?

I'm less than human to you enough to be given a silly nickname

did you think this one through at all? like, give it even a seconds thought?

I'm guessing it dropped the F and rearranged the rest into the R slur. I can't think of any other word with most of those letters, and it is a word otuside of the slur context, a verb meaning "to slow down"

"I just don't want to see your suffering"

"make boys feel better about themselves"

I don't want something like that, I think inherently the goals of leftist liberation make people feel less pressure to correctly present a gender role, so the utility of a guru like JBP vanishes. You don't need to learn to play your role, because you decide what it means to be you. So we don't need to teach boys how to act, we're by our actions creating an environment where that won't be a problem. The interrim between current world and that world won't be flawless, but that's something best addressed by non-explicitly leftist groups. It's not something "the party" or whatever needs to work on

I don't see your point. Yeah, that's not great, but it's not a political project and there's not a way to provide specifically masculinity from a leftist perspective. I see a big part of leftist change in society to liberate people from the alienating idea that they're supposed to grow up into anything in particular.
