there is some evidence in certain settings that ridiculing isn’t effective to convince the people you are directly ridiculing, but that is not the argument being made here at all, the argument made here is far broader.
“antivaxxers can’t be convinced by calling them shitty people” is also not the same as antivaxxers not being shitty people, and please show me the research that actually shows this is true, because I searched google scholar yesterday and couldn’t find anything.
I think people need to somehow consider how they are making the argument that “saying antivaxxers are bad people is a shit take and won’t convince anyone” is intrinsically inconsistent because if that was true you could not convince people who think antivaxxers are shit by calling the take shit.
I think “I am lucky to be alive despite my parents’ best efforts” kinda puts them in the lowest 1% of parents
“my parents hit me and I turned put fine” style argument
lmao I’m sorry what
This whole 'Starmer has stood up to Trump' thing is really weird.
Starmer originally said the US couldn't use UK bases, then u-turned. How is that 'standing up to Trump'?
UK public opinion is overwhelmingly against and Starmer still capitulated.
Please do not miss that this bullshit is a PAID article. The Argument is profiting off the suffering of trans people.

climate change is actually due to the emergence of sex toys ☝️🤓
There's a good joke about fixing a tropical depression here but I'm too tired to think of it
To be fair we cant be 100% sure my orgasms dont cause superstorms
I don’t believe in god but the thought of her being able to see me not going to her funeral is still hilarious to me
my grandmother did this with every fucking natural disaster and then she wondered why her grandkids didn’t speak to her lol
It's recuperation by the liberal mode.
They wanna claim it as a victory for the marketplace of ideas or whatever dreck, in order to uphold that flattening & regressive framework.
Anyone who actually knows anything knows that your account is the more accurate one.
they blamed the gays for hurricanes and earthquakes. they factually did that. every national disaster they did that.
Iunno, it's just so weird for me, as somebody who was an out queer in the first couple of decades of this century to see this rewriting of history where the "debate" about gay rights then was this genteel, public spirited conversation. They blamed the gays for hurricanes and earthquakes.
I remember being at Manchester Pride in the late 00s getting into a shouting match with the weirdo Christians who kept lying and saying we wanted to legalise CSA. Then an actual physical fight happened.
Like this narrative that the campaigns for equal marriage were a friendly public conversation where everybody respected each other is wild as fuck. It was only about ten years ago and you guys kept implying we wanted to fuck dogs.
The thing is that I distinctly remember opponents of gay marriage crying and kicking their heels and claiming to be oppressed by the mean censorious gays all the time.
A collage of Baraa's two daughters. 💔
A nice picture of Bara'a and Ibrahim! Baraa is wearing a mask and a jacket, Ibrahim is wearing a grey shirt.
I buried my heart with Maha & Masa. Now, Ibrahim is my only reason to breathe, yet I can’t even keep him warm in this tent. I’ve lost my home and my daughters; I cannot lose my last soul. Please, don’t look away.
Help me save the only piece of my heart that’s still beating.🙏 💔😭

like it's not complicated. "If you support XYZ happening, just make it happen. Politicians will be all too happy to take credit for the work after it's more or less done, but will never be convinced to do any of it themselves." Super straightforward, really!
Everyone who supported this guy needs to recognize that he's not an anomaly, he was literally the best choice possible, it's just that electoral politics necessitates fascizing and implicitly genocidal calculations about human suffering and there's no way to improve the system through them.

it’s like the alliance between evangelicals and zionists, as long as they are helping each other to stay in power, zionists will stay closely aligned with evangelicals, only calling out the most overt antisemitism in the maga movement.
zionism in hindutva is another one of these instances of fascists being quite comfortable with internal contradictions, I’m not sure more instances of zionists being racist towards them will change the alliance as long as islamophobia is so central to both zionist and hindutva fascism
There’s an Indian journalist in Israel right now reporting in Hindi about how bomb shelters in Israel will allow even the pets of Jews in but will not open its doors to the Indian workers our shithole government sent in droves to make up for genocided Palestinian labor. Apartheid regime.
no I am sure these people did not annoy me!
I don’t really know how I manage to do this but apparently I muted at least two accounts on accident lol
don’t do it yourself punk
