They clearly meant in the sense that we have evolved to think spiders are creepy/scary.
Using the "evo science" logic, then we are also afraid of strangers, so that reasoning is often used against the "other" so no, it's not baiting but based on actual atrocities committed against those that were seen as "scary." Please don't minimize that.
This post was made in the politics comm. If it had been made in /c/vegan or /c/chapotraphouse or /c/chat it would be read differently. In the context of the politics comm it reads as an earnest statement intended to be read at face value. The choice of venue shapes how the message is perceived. The post reads as a political statement that killing bugs reveals a person to have fascist character.
I call complete cap on that. If anything this sounds like you trying to tone police based on "venue" or some ephemeral construct like that. "Oh I support your right to protest but do it in the rIGhT wAy!!" kinda shit. I see posts in all kinds of comms, including this one, that link behaviors with tendencies. Cuz you know, "everything is political" right? But with this all of a sudden come the "rules/regulations" BS? With all due respect, eff off with that shit.
but this is not an appropriate way to present that view.
Yup white moderate vibes... smh
Like, people have deep rooted fears that are based on actual dangers (and who knows how much of that is rooted in some kind of genetic understanding).
Careful, that's some very 
reasoning
Yeah reading comp is beyond some here...
They pretty much tell on themselves here: https://international.dsausa.org/statements/on-russias-invasion-of-ukraine/
They "condemn" Russia. What a joke... No wonder the Global South doesn't give a shit about the Democratic Sheepherders of America. I didn't see anything on their site supporting Venezuela, China, DPRK, etc. I only see milquetoast "we stand with the 'people' of Venezuela, Cuba, etc." They're too chicken to actually support any of the governments in AES countries. They only support "the people" of those countries. What a fucking cop-out scaredy-cat fucking response. That's like when libs/chuds say "I hate the goverment but support the people!" fucking bullshit. Fuck the DSA. Actually, after seeing those "statements" I'm going to actively tell people I know to stay the fuck away from DSA. They're waaay worse than I thought.
The tendency in DSA is uncritical support of anti-imperialist state or militant action, especially within the international committee which puts out the vast majority of comms on these topics. The "Robin" in this meme, putting forward any formal critique (a fundamental and essential component of practicing Marxism) is very much the minority position.
I'll believe it when I see it
So Iran is the only country in the world that legalized the sale of kidneys, and as a result, they don't have any wait lists for kidneys. Regardless of how you feel about it, it's an interesting case study (from an anti-imperialist nation to boot) about the effectiveness of the system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidney_trade_in_Iran
they are an indirect measure of technological development.
I don't even believe this is true. There is plenty of literature out there about how # of patents =/= innovation (or even tangentially relate to it).
A six sided dice where each side has an actual activity you can do IRL to organize instead of asking randoms on the internet which games you should play? wtf is this reddit tier shit lol
We shouldn't be using "patents" to measure "innovation." That's what the dumb ass capitalist patent freaks do. "Oh you think intellectual property is BS, what about all the bajillion patents filed last year????? SEE ALL THAT INNOVATION!!!"
I don't really care about steroid use in sports. It's just not fair that certain people get genetic advantages, so if you want to make up for not being tall or having a certain body build, go for it. We allow it in other areas of life, so why not in sports. The whole "it's unfair whaaaa" thing sounds like some moralistic capitalist bullshit anyways. They always use their advantages, but lecture the rest of us to "play fair"
And they're completely denying that it is, in fact, a genocide zone. Stupid fucks
