If Black people can't be racist, because Black people lack the power of white people, then Asian people can't be racist, for the same reason...

...yet, these groups accuse each other of racism against each other.

(Find my logical error.)

I was talking with a friend about patriarchy, and we were following a logic, and he was trying to say competitiveness or seeking rank as a patriarchal quality. I couldn't agree. I thought "maybe".

This had a tinge of "matriarchy"... but I don't think matriarchy exists.

I get the feeling there are people on the left who equate liberalism only with capitalism, while ignoring that it means more than that. It includes social liberalism, and a general rationalist outlook.

My pop was a hoarder. After he passed, I had to clean out. Craigslist "free" saved me from hauling hundreds of pounds of stuff. I just dragged things out, and listed. People would come to the door or driveway and take it.

From Judge Immergut: “The evidence demonstrates that these deployments, which were objected to by Oregon’s governor and not requested by the federal officials in charge of protection of the ICE building, exceeded the president’s authority."

The saddest thing about Charlie Kirk was that he was in his 30s, and a racist.

He's a reminder of how far we haven't moved forward. The shit he was saying was shit racists were saying in the 1980s.

Where the fuck is the "progress" if we keep producing a fresh batch of bigots every year?

Saw Quezon. A good movie, one of the best I've seen this year. This article compares real photos to promotional presskit photos from the movie, along with some history.

Most of us are all sexy and sexual.

If they don't think you're sexy, that's their opinion.

If they don't think you're sexual, that's dehumanization.
