That's a very generous take. In my conversations I'm simplifying as much as possible because the root issues aren't complicated. Reconciliation is going to be incredibly complicated, but we're not there yet. I'm asking people if genocide is bad. What's an appropriate response to genocide? That's getting me really far. Either they out themselves as a ghoul or they start to put it together

I've got a similar situation. I've heard a couple of times 'its a complicated situation' WHAT'S COMPLICATED ABOUT STANDING AGAINST GENOCIDE???? I'm a little butt hurt about it

The fact that they didn't attempt to laugh with you shows you don't want to be around them. Everybody farts.

This is what communism looks like

Could be the shifting demographics. That many more people concerned with what's happening at home

Takes the same amount of effort to draw, but the energy needed to hold and therefore aim is substantially less. They normally refer to 'let off' in the specifications. 75% let off means that with a 100lb bow, once you get to a specific point in the draw, you're only holding 25lbs.

I think we should start co-opting their points. Academia is broken! Let's fix it!

I've seen a lot of stuff on the left about the election that's largely positive. Let's keep that

I listened to one of her podcasts, and she comes across as so genuine. I can totally see why people listen to her.

I'm very mistrusting of anyone online that calls them self an anarchist. I spent some time on some anarchist subreddits some time ago. They were pretty toxic and would throw out reasonable opinions because they didn't align with their personal theory. The ones I've met in person are reasonable compassionate people that are more likely to take people's opinions and view them as valuable. I sometimes picture the real difference between the theories as a top down vs bottom up approach. Marxist states shouldn't exist when communism is achieved, and that's pretty anarchist. It's more about how to get there. We shouldn't be fighting about that.

Well said. The real difference is Marxists want the transitional state while anarchists see that transitional state as problematic as well. My clumsy analogy is socdems vs socialists
