not the moronic game i mean a crowbar
some people are just so good at turning me into a gun-wielding bitcoin-loving right-libertarian you know
i say if you consider the return on investment of telling strangers to smile while they're obviously not happy you oughta get shot in the thigh
feelings don't work that way fucken imbecile
honestly teach psychology to children
aggressive idiots are everywhere, unbearable and clueless
@CobaltVelvet I mean, sure, but also, categorizing them with ableist language seems like the opposite of what you want here
@LogicalDash is that really ableist tho? do they actually understand how wrong they are? can they? are they just "evil" somehow? isn't that ableist now?
is saying they're assholes really meaning something different to you? to most people?
@CobaltVelvet no, it's just that their intelligence or lack-of isn't what motivates the behavior in question
It's that they honestly believe that feelings work that way, and maybe *need* to believe that, to keep from reflecting on something they've done
Teaching children psychology would mean teaching them what actually motivates harmful beliefs, yes?
@LogicalDash in the end it's a word about a group thinking differently. you're an idiot to someone, i'm an idiot to someone, and that hasn't ever characterized "intelligence" in a more absolute way that "that's not my way of thinking and it works worse relative to me".
i'm not saying their brains are too small to be nice to me, it's a wrong assumption.
i'm saying they're idiots because they think differently in a way that harms me
@LogicalDash i think it even really boils down to *over-confidence*. thoughts or ignorance themselfes aren't much of an issue.
privilege, people being used to assuming they're righteous and that it won't have any direct consequence, is really the problem.
why did i snap out of it and got decent and not him? ifucking dont know but i'd love to understand that
