Unfortunately, in a lot of these cases, they’re treating people poorly because they either expect to be or think they deserve to be treated like that too. They justify their self-hatred by projecting it onto other people.
The answer you’ll hear is, “Well, no, but SOMEONE has to tell them the truth.”
I used to be an incel, but probably not in the way you’d think. I mean it in the original use of the term, that is, I was a queer kid in a small town and there was not a single person in town I was attracted to who was also attracted to me.
I moved to a big city, and things got a bit better but I still had issues in meeting new people with meaningful connections. I expected to just stumble upon the perfect partner that loved me exactly as I was, even though I hated myself.
It wasn’t until someone basically slapped me in the face with the question, “Well, would you want to date YOU?” that it started to make sense. I was spending so much time looking for “the perfect partner” that I forgot to work on myself to become the perfect partner FOR that perfect partner. Once I stopped “looking” for them and instead started working on making myself a better person that things started falling into place.
The only person you have to live with your entire life is yourself, so make sure you love yourself first and people will be attracted to that. No one wants to be with someone who hates themselves and everyone around them.

They would be richer, but by “allowing” working class people to have a thriving life means the power gap between us and them wouldn’t be as big. People could organize and overthrow them, so they have to keep us fighting amongst ourselves for scraps.
The cruelty is the point.
Slavery = bad
Wage slavery = good??
“Well, it’s all bullshit, but as long as I’m in power, you have nothing to worry about” -every religious leader ever
ahem The deity he follows says that he should turn the other cheek and not only allow it to happen again, but to happily and freely provide the opportunity. You can still call him hypocritical.
I agree that those studies should be done. Studies should ALSO be done on people with unvaccinated covid infections, but we can’t do that on a large number of people, because they’re dead. The vaccinated people might have a ‘non-zero risk for blood clots’, but they’re still alive in the meantime.
This was the same reaction I had when the Covid vaccines were rolling out. “They haven’t been proven to be 100% safe and effective!” OK. Sure, but you know what is guaranteed to be bad for you? Covid. There are two choices here, and there’s a clear mitigation of harm with one option over the other.
It’s shocking that we’d rather see children die of treatable vitamin deficiencies than the off-chance that the food ‘might be unsafe’.
It’s your phone’s ‘predictive text’, but if it were trained on the internet.
It can guess what the next word should be a lot of the time, but it’s also easy for it to go off the rails.
Reposting this from one of last times she did something insanely TERF-y. (2 months ago) It really feels like she’s desperately trying to convince herself.
It’s sad that she’s likely repressing a LOT of gender dysphoria, but just doubles down on the bigotry and hate. Fuck JK Umbridge.
All direct quotes:
I believe I could have been persuaded to turn myself into the son my father had openly said he’d have preferred.
As I didn’t have a realistic possibility of becoming a man back in the 1980s, it had to be books and music that got me through.
I remember how mentally sexless I felt in youth.
Fortunately for me, I found my own sense of otherness, and my ambivalence about being a woman…
You dont respect my existence, you can expect my resistance.

Seems like a cheap way to get rid of the competition.
No thanks!
That’s the fallacy called “whataboutism” where you point out other issues that exist as a reason to not solve the current problem we’re talking about.
Everyones a winner
Riiiight up until the Earth becomes uninhabitable for humans because we’re doing shit like destroying the Amazon rainforest for more cattle farmland, but sure!
They’re each convinced THEY will be the exception.
Lmao, “People should boycott businesses, but if this one person does what I just said to do, then it’s actually bad because I say so.”
