Think of it as the society being the victim. The clearest example is when Trump started talking about Fake News. The goal is to devoid words of meaning, to reason based only on emotional attachment, to eliminate critical thinking. This guy follows the same strategy.

Below a definition of gaslighting, I think it applies pretty well to the kind of society these people are leaving behind:

Examples of gaslighting behaviors are denying something the other person knows is true, spreading rumors about them, and blaming the victim. The mental health impact of gaslighting includes feelings of powerlessness, confusion, isolation, disorientation, and low self-esteem

Thank you, I have been using that word wrong my whole life, I thought it meant a mob beating. I disagree on everything else, have a nice day.

I think you missed the message that started this conversation about the lynching and advocating for violence “If you are in proximity to this fuck and aren’t hitting him in the face then you’re not only a class traitor, but you’re a traitor to humanity.”

In my opinion way to deal with violence, and that is why I quoted Asimov, is by being creative, educating, reasoning and having the moral high-ground.

Anyone that is violent for me is indistinguishable from “the people on the right”.

Wow that was a quick appearance of the Godwins Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law

If you cannot distinguish between WW2 vs. Lynching a person, then I don’t know how a communication between you a and me is going to be possible.

Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. ;)

He is saying that she didn’t win, he lost.

Which is a longer way of saying that she won, he is contradicting himself.

Yes, that whole paragraph sounded like “She won” in an awful lot of frustrated and apologetic words

I see you are being unfairly downvoted, so here goes my support.

Violence is never the solution and anyone advocating for it is an ahole

I have this while watching videos on the phone, it feels like the phone is in the ICU

it’s like siri, i deactivate it and it activates back itself

Isn’t the shell kept closed by “the meat”? By opening it you are cutting through their muscles. Being stabbed is quite a process.

only if you byte through the shell

I would ask for a bag full with all the cheetos crumbs that ever remained in all the bags I ever ate

it does not work, because we operate by the principle of “no news, good news” we are designed to gather information as precaution, to improve our defenses.

However media manipulates this basic instinct towards making us reindeer looking at headlights: all fear, no judgement

what is content mill, i don’t know that one

Completely unqualified suggestion here but,

have you tried going for a run when you wake up at the middle of the night?

I was having the problem of waking up at 3am and unable to fall sleep, I started to embrace it, prepare some coffee, stretch a bit and then get out to run to a completely deserted city.

Running is very therapeutic, when you get intrusive thoughts, you just squeeze further running until your brain cannot focus on other thing than breathing.

I found a time-frame of therapy that only belongs to me and it has also helped me with the sleeping problems.

I am not qualified or anything and I don’t want to diminish your problem, but if it could help I just wanted to let it out.

Cheers.

It doesn’t, Cris Rock explained it very well:

Kobe Bryant is rich, he gets a paycheck of 100 mil per year.

Now, wealthy is the guy that signs that check.

or a better health insurance
