It just feels difficult to have meaningful conversations on here sometimes. Like yes I dislike America, but I don't need to act like nothing good has ever come out of it. Maybe China is better than America, but I don't want Xi nuking American cities. I don't think war is suddenly cool and good because Ukraine has some nazis in it. Not everyone I disagree with is some bumbling mass of idiocy, a lot of times we just differ on certain core values.
This site and the people won’t be responsible for that shit. Adventurism is always bad. I think a lot of people who are too fucking comfortable can come on here and be shocked about things like trans people wanting to see Greg Abott murdered.
Pacifism is fucking privilege. Those of us who are already getting attacked by the state and nice “well-intentioned and earnest” Cishet WASP families know this. When I walk alone at night I’m fucking strapped for a reason. If I kill a fucking chud who tries to turn me into a statistic then it won’t be hexbear’s fault.
Yeah I think as long as we consistently tell fedposters to fuck off and try to get people to educate themselves about adventurism, the culture is fine. The whole “stochastic terrorism” thing is prevalent in the right because they’re larger numbers on the more fringe sites and those sites have nothing to temper indignant rage with. You just keep upping the ante until people burn out or, in some cases, snap. There are definitely people here who get too worked up relative to the amount of danger they’re in and the tactics they understand and we’ve always done a good job of talking those people down or removing them from these spaces
