astrology is random, so it corresponds to reality more than personality psychology, a project of bourgeois eugenicists (hexbear.net)

Science is incapable of ever being truthful because every scientist is an amoral wannabee friend of Jeffrey Epstein. These nerds literally take lessons in school to learn how to beg for patronage to do research. Of course their studies usually end up being about managerial bourgeois praxis like using skull shape measurements to categorize workers. That's what personality psychology is about at the end of the day, Brave New World style eugenics with humane empathy for wage slaves.

If you're going to claim there's evidence and then run that back I reserve the right to assume you're not arguing jn good faith lol

I openly admitted my evidence was anecdotal and anecdotal evidence is what I provided. Also my claim was in response to another claim that “it was totally harmless” and that guy didn’t back it up with any evidence so why do you go hound him for some.

And this all circles back to my main question, why do so many on the left seem hell bent to defending the valor of astrology? I didn’t advocate outlawing it or being mean to people who were into it, fuck I said it was harmless 90% of the time. I just said I didn’t think it was 100% harmless and that was enough to get some debate bros jumping down my goddamn throat.

people are jumping down your throat because astrology hate is usually just unexamined misogyny/queerphobia

Okay that’s true, but on the flip side you got people trying to stan astrology so hard they end up saying ridiculous crap like this.

And I’ll repeat myself, if you’re gonna demand hard evidence for my claim you should present hard evidence for yours. If there’s evidence that it’s TOTALLY harmless I’m all ears.

If all you have are anecdotes my anecdotes are equally valid.

You know I didn't invoke evidence right? you implied its existence and I called you out for making shit up.

You know I admitted my evidence was totally anecdotal right? And you still made a claim, I made a counter claim, I’m beholden to the same standard of evidence you abided by for your initial claim.
