Even capitalist countries that don't have forced labor camps still benefit from forced labor and horrific exploitation in the Global South. There are no capitalist countries that have their hands clean, not even in recent history, that I'm aware of. And it's particularly baffling to see people in here, carrying water for capitalism's atrocities and praising its supposed successes, after a year where we saw a raging pandemic run roughshod over the capitalist West, hundreds of thousands of American lives sacrificed to feed the free market and restart the economy, and we are amidst global climate change fueled by overproduction and overconsumption, which will kill millions and probably displace billions.

I gotta give credit to dabig2 and others for being so patient in these threads.

Plenty of capitalist countries handled the pandemic well. What are you talking about? You really do fulfill the stereotype of being unable to view the world through any lense except America.

Wow, you're so very patient, arguing for totalitarian dictatorships with horrible outcomes, and having to face minor pushback outside of your bubble and make actual arguments. Poor, poor tankie.

People that completely deny the existence of 'cancel culture' seem to always be the kind of righteous arseholes that think they hold the absolute truth on any given matter. They deny it exists because they see it as a useful weapon that they believe could never be turned on them.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I can't help but be offended by the notion we should reach out, relate, and humanize these kinds of people. I mostly keep my mouth shut on these matters because I grew weary of saying the same things over and over the last few years, but I've mustered up the mettle to talk about this again in light of these events. This is not directed at anyone here or a response to anything in particular, but this has been on my mind a lot the last couple of days - and they've been long days.

I do not believe empathy can be extended to all people at all times. I don't say this as some kind of ethical mandate, I mean that the mechanism of empathy requires discretion to function. People represent irreconcilable forces. People are vehicles for their actions and ideology. The way they act and the things they do are summarily the definition of that person's existence. You cannot have empathy for Neo Nazis and Jews, gays, and black people at the same time because empathy for the first party precludes and nullifies empathy for the others. Even if you don't think so, it does. Because your empathy becomes hollow. It becomes insincere. By showing empathy to the worst of the world, you are denying empathy to the people they hurt. You are choosing compassion for the oppressor over compassion for the oppressed. I think the idea that you can hold everyone in your heart in equal regard is pure romance. I think it is harmful and counter-productive.

I understand that a lot of people who have empathy for oppressive actors and humanize them in the wake of their actions think it is the right and decent thing to do. They balk at the idea it is morally reprehensible to show compassion towards another person. They will chastise you for not showing decency and not making an effort. They will shake their head in disapproval that you could be so callous as to not relate with the people who hate you. For years I've suffered people carrying water for hostile forces and rehabilitating their behavior. They say have some pity, have some empathy, how are we supposed to reach these people? Shame on you, they say, for not caring about them or what happens to them. This is why we are so divided, they say. Perhaps I'm no better than them.


I spent years trying to reach my mother and father. I was still pretty young and financially insecure. I had nowhere else to go and I lived in their house. We had many problems that were non-political. There were many reasons I had not to trust my mother, who hurt me over and over. There were many reasons to fear my father, whose abuse I have never recovered from. But I believed that I was their son and if they loved me they would hear me. So I tried to relate, reach out, and have conversations with them all through 2015 and 2016. I thought some of these conversations went well. There were times where I felt like we were really understanding each other. There were times where I felt like I was speaking to my father as an equal and to my mother as a friend. While I never knew what was going to happen, there were a lot of times I had hope.

But it did not work. I did not reach them. All that happened was that I got them to play nice with me - an act they put on for my benefit. They loved their son, after all, so they humored me. They would talk to me about what I cared about, what mattered to me, and why I felt they were wrong, and then nod politely and carry on. Because they did not actually care what I had to say. They did not actually care what I believed. They did not care at all when I attempted to show them why what they believed was so dangerous and selfish and hurtful. Because to them, the world made perfect sense and they already know everything there is to know. I was the one who didn't get it. But they heard me out and pretended they cared because they knew they were already right, I was already wrong, and I didn't actually matter. We were playing pretend.

I had a lot at stake here. I had to either reach my mother and father or I had to leave. There was nothing I ever tried to do that I was more afraid of failing. But I could not reach them, so I left. I moved out shortly after the election. Nothing I ever said or did mattered. They watched me move out obliviously.

For the years that followed I did not speak to my father, but I occasionally spoke to my mother. I left the door open for a long time to reconcile if they ever came to their senses. If everything we talked about ever landed with them and if losing me as a result of their politics ever registered, I wanted to be there to pick up the pieces. There was no world where I preferred to not have a relationship with my parents. So I would see my mother monthly. I would wait to hear what she had to say, but I never led the witness. I wanted her to bring it up on her own. I wanted her to show me she knew why I was upset. But she didn't. As months became years she would beg me to tell her what was wrong and why I didn't talk to them anymore. She would make random guesses about arbitrary things (my father, for example, suspected I left the family because I broke his drill and was embarrassed about it). I died inside over and over as I sat across from my mother who cluelessly ignored everything I ever talked about as important to me.

I got married in 2019 and made one last attempt to reconcile before the wedding. I went back to the house for the first time in three years. I spoke to my father for the first time since then. We sat at the table and we started to talk. When I finally broached the subject of their politics, they were aghast and appalled. That was the reason I no longer spoke to them? All this time just was "just politics"? They laid into me like a petulant child. They mocked and antagonized me for letting something superfluous come between us. They accused me of deception and manipulation and still not "getting it". It was a proper family meltdown. My father did not attend my wedding and my mother just sat there silently. We have not spoken a word to one another since. They labeled me a radical, smeared me to my extended family, and I lost everyone. It is over. I have no family. I have my partner, and I have their sibling, but they are orphans. We have nobody left in this world but each other. It is a lonely world.

I did everything I could to prevent this from happening. I started early, I met them on their level, I asked them questions and heard their stories and tried to meet them half way on issues. I made an honest and earnest attempt to bring my parents out of their world and into another. It didn't even have to be mine, it just had to be better. Something safer. Something that didn't hurt people and threaten the livelihood of others. It did not get better though, it only got worse. My mother is a Qanon anti-vaxxer with a Parler account. My father is a virulently angry dictator worshipper who wants to violently establish a new world order. They are waiting for me to someday come apologize to them.


I don't believe you can reach these people anymore. Their worldview does not allow it. It is not a worldview of confusion or misunderstanding, it's rooted in absolute certainty. You cannot teach something to someone who is this closed off to information and so strongly opposed to your input. It is just not possible. To convince someone of something they need to be capable of doubt. They have to be open to the possibility, however small, that they are incorrect about something. But these people are not these things. So you can waste all the energy you want trying to connect with them and find a middle ground, but all you're doing is helping them advance themselves and hurt more people.

The only thing that changes the mind of someone like this is epiphany. There needs to be a moment where their system fails. There needs to be a sudden awakening of consciousness where they witness something or experience something that changes how they feel about something. Then they are open. Then they can be reached. But until then, that wall is impenetrable. I do not believe you can force that epiphany. If it can be done, I never figured it out. I tried so hard to. I lived the experience. Every day for years I tried to no avail. It is the hardest I ever tried at anything.

And I know I am not alone. It isn't 2015. It's 2021. We've been living alongside and contending with these people - neighbors, coworkers, family members - for half a decade. People have been trying and failing to reach and deradicalize people this entire time and more people voted for Trump in 2020 than they did in 2016. Accept that you're being played and stop giving so much energy to people who hate you. I tried, I was beaten, and I have lost my will. So if you want to keep trying, power to you. But don't act like you care about me when you choose to care about them. You can't do both.

I am always open to helping someone who is open to being helped. It is never too late for someone to turn it around. But you can't make them do it and I certainly don't think you should pity them if they don't. I don't expend my limited energy on compassion for them anymore. There are other people, namely their victims and the people they marginalize, who deserve my whole heart instead.

and no finalefireworker you fucking creepy moron, empathy isn't a zero sum game.

I can have sympathy for the child soldiers forced into working for warlords in Africa just like I can have sympathy for the victims they rape and murder.

Its actually real fucking easy to show empathy for people you agree with anyway.
The only thing thats going to stop these people from feeling marginalised to the point they think a manipulative reality tv show host is the only person in authority looking out for them isn't to further marginalise and isolate them, as both studies and common fucking sense have shown

No. Fuck them. If they're going to be so intellectually stupid they'll fall for the first conman that comes along? Nope. Not everyone deserves empathy. It's like "Oh you thought you could keep yourself warm by setting your neighbor on fire? I empathize." Everyone is marginalized. Everyone feels left out. But people willing to further others marginalization so they feel less marginalized? They don't deserve empathy, they deserve contempt.

Not everyone deserves empathy.

that's kind of the whole point

when people don't deserve something but you give it to them anyway

like people who don't "deserve" government handouts because they didn't work for it, like so many on the right like to say, but you give it to them anyway because it's the decent thing to do

it's so easy to give empathy to people who "deserve" it as to be practically worthless

give empathy to someone who might be surprised to receive it and you both gain from it

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

The original clip comes form a documentary Ōkami featured in called What?!: I think I’m an Animal, which explored the lives of otherkin. It was then posted on Vine (RIP), where it went viral.

Shortly after, Ōkami reportedly slammed the documentary’s producers after this for making a mockery of otherkin.

 

[Raist]

After Obama, we didn't really have a President. We had a malicious egocentric baby, but not a President. For better or worse, at least we know Biden will be a Presidential. Even though it won't work like that in reality, we should just call Biden the 45th President to spite Trump. It's also fun to get him to lose his mind.

Edit - I'm not saying to erase him from the history books or forget about him. I'm saying we should do this to troll his ass. Of course he will always be a part of American history. I just want him to cry like a baby.

A site that has weekly "I want to end it all" threads popping up should not be allowed to have threads about further distancing themselves from a possible support group or even just one person who can be there for them.

Q: How would you say the otherkin/therian community is treated online and in society at large?

A: Badly. We’re a laughing stock. The most vocal members of our community are idiots, or in my case, portrayed as such. It’s fashionable to make fun of our community, just like it is to make fun of furries. The Tumblr therein community is the worst place to go for info; it’s full of idiots. The community existed long before Tumblr, and like everything else on the internet, Tumblr tends to ruin it. The Tumblr community has decided that it’s okay to identify as objects, and various other nonsense. They’ve also decided they’re a part of the transgender community, and that they need nounself pronouns. I don’t support any of this, by the way.

In addition to his active presence within the Otherkin subculture, Ulv has spoken at various panels as an advocate of autism rights movement.

But then, 6 months ago:
