  • There’s a lot I’d be willing to do for somebody that made me 10 times stronger than the average man and functionally immortal without the weakness of immediately bursting into flames under sunlight.

    But I don’t think I would kill people for them or bring them victims to kill.

    I guess I would not be a very good ghoul.






  • I spent most of my childhood being repeatedly informed by my incredibly Republican family that I lack common sense.

    Yet, I have the common sense to know that if you let people do whatever the fuck they want to do with their own bodies and lives then they’ll stay the fuck out of your body and your life.

    Perhaps that is an uncommon sense. However, it should be a common sense but the people who claim to have common sense fail to understand that consistently.

    Maybe common sense is not all it’s cracked up to be.


  • Reminder: there is no such thing as the paradox of tolerance.

    The rules of tolerance only applies to the people who abide by it.

    Therefore, you are tolerant of tolerant people if you abide by the rules of tolerance. You are intolerant of intolerant people if you abide by the rules of tolerance.

    It is very straightforward, the only pathway to paradox is from a lack of lexical understanding of the rules of tolerance.


  • And, their views typically do not include the things that most of the people I know hate the most about the platform that they ascribe to.

    They just think being Republican will make them wealthier or fix problems in the country or make the world a better place.

    The single issue voters have an opinion on a single issue and everything else doesn’t matter compared to that one thing.

    They don’t care about all of the bad as long as the single bit of good can be accomplished, and they don’t care if you think that single bit of good is a bad thing.

    They don’t care to talk to or be dissuaded by their family members who are not approaching them with a spirit of love and care for them.

    Beside that, it’s not mentally or emotionally healthy to live spring-loaded with ontological traps that can be fired off with a single phrase to bring down judgment and the fires of hell on the people you meet.

    They’re not going to want to hear you if that’s what you’re bringing to the table.


  • They don’t think we’re open minded and understanding.

    They think we’re ignorant of how the world works, condescending, and irrationally judgemental.

    I’m not saying this is how we ARE, this is just how they view us, and because they view us like that from the very start, there is no opportunity for meaningful dialogue.

    It is bi-directional prejudice, and only by acts of understanding and patience and wisdom can that be overcome.
