Eh, it was already there. Lots of racist and eugenics ideas swirling around mew age beliefs.

Ah, you don’t need to be delusional to make a bad faith argument. She chose to make this bad, misleading take, delusion has nothing to do with it.

I can already hear Jesse Waters’s horrible and entirely uninformed “news” segment about it…

Also hasn’t Magneto attempted genocide, like, several times?

I like these, but as a sometimes manically inquisitive folk I love the last one a lot.

Blames it on “psychos” but somehow doesn’t think that affordable (or y’know, free) mental health care is a priority. Every time this happens somehow the mentally ill get blamed. Turns out psychopaths can live indistinguishably from the rest of the public and supposedly well-adjusted “sane” people can commit mass shootings or justify genocides. Maybe instead of blaming a large, marginalized group, we can improve people’s conditions so maybe they won’t do this. For kids this may be actually doing something about bullying, providing mental health care, and hiring teachers that don’t not-so-secretely hate kids.

Love the imperial machine coopting Star Wars. They totally understood the media and are doing what Lucas would want with it.

It’s a dirty beanis, but somebody’s gotta do it.

To be fair, I have had some issues like my screen not displaying anything all of a sudden using Arch, but I think that was more NVIDIA’s fault. Adding a boot parameter ended up fixing that.

Prospective pastor going to seminary is going to tradschool

The main hospital I’ve been to I don’t think is actually religious-themed, but I find myself distrusting it anyway because I live in small-town, Midwest. My psychiatrist doesn’t know I’m queer because I fear his reaction. The hospital assures you that they will not discriminate, but it has “My I don’t discriminate shirt is raising a lot of questions the shirt should answer” vibes. Also I have a fairly stigmatized mental illness and have had inpatient stays because of it, so I definitely don’t trust them having seen that side of them, but I feel that applies to pretty much any hospital. Long story short, I don’t really trust hospitals in general, not just religious ones.

I would be a little careful calling all these things narcissism, though. Narcissist personality disorder is a real thing, and people have no control over that. The harm these people cause to other people is not a result of mental illness, but as you said, a series of systems that discourage treating people like people and more like commodities.

Getting real academic larp vibes from them. I’m not exactly an expert, but something feels very wrong.

Yeah, this article definitely gives me the impression that this person doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Hyping up how the parents feel shame for yelling and completely overlooking the shame imposed on the kid? In fact, completely overlooking the kid altogether?? The only time they mention doing right by the kid is in context of doing right by the parent. But yeah spanking is just wrong: getting angry and hitting your kid seems like it has a different term associated with it. And yelling fails to effect positive change, and easily causes negative impacts. This reads as someone trying to justify old-fashioned (and almost always wrong) methods using new-fashioned ideas of authenticity and avoiding shame.

I saw the Communist Manifesto and two volumes of Capital at a Barnes and Noble once.

Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander

Seriously, after being called “threat to democracy,” “nazi,” “dictator,” etc. I don’t know why “weird” seems to be so offensive to them.

I would say to look up muffing, but maybe “look up” might be inadvisable. Anyway it’s a non-anal way penis-havers can experience penetration. (sorry if too horny for Hexbear)

Exactly what I was thinking. No, Republicans aren’t going to make things better for queer, disabled, and homeless people, but I was watching the Democrats with hope. My first presidential election I voted for Biden, hoping he could improve mental health care and LGBT+ rights. (and others, but these affect me personally) The party then proceeded to fail to deliver any of that. AND THEN they went to go fund and supply a genocide. Didn’t know the bar could go lower but damn if it didn’t get down.

Terrifying. “We believe in the sanctity of the bible and its influence on the founding of our nation” but also “Yeah, George Washington is on the same level as God.”
