maybe I am sympathetic to a fault, but it strikes me as like...kind of coldhearted to talk of discouraging someone's suicide purely for the utility their continued existence serves to propaganda.

A part of me can understand (although I doubt ever fully) the hatred for this man who left devastation in his wake.
How many lives did he destroy and now he has the gall to feel guilty about it!?
When he can just walk away back to the US while those people were left to pick up what was left of their lives and country!

but at the same time when I just hear about this broken shell of a human being the only emotion I can really muster is a deep and utter sadness.

whats wrong with the lyrics?

they should take out their calipers just to double check.

If that’s what you think I am doing then you are just being purposefully obtuse

I'm not really looking to get into a debate about scripture and homosexuality, but even if we assume it is a sin, I don't see how that negates what is said in 1 Timothy.
We are all sinners, but called upon to love each other, at the worst such an interpretation would warrant preaching for them to change their ways, not kick them out.

I have been mocked, belittled and disregarded as a crazy fucking loser (been NEETing for 3 years now, I haven’t been able to find a job with my college degree, and my mental illness makes it hard for me to persist/commit to anything) who is simply bitter and lazy, and is anyways just living off his parents, and is not to be taken seriously.

I relate.

Could it be that society actively shaping videogames into a male hobby in the 80's/90's and transgirls being socialized as boys has lead to a disproportionate amount of female gamers who are trans than cis?
No, it must be biological essentialism, I am stupidpol, I am very materialist.

Yeah but are libs all booking brunch as like a symbolic thing now? I thought it was just a one-off thing some guy said that was indicative of a larger attitude and the left ran with it.

I thought the brunch thing was a leftist meme based on some lib's tweet. Was it actually a big thing on donut twitter??

Agree with all of this but Trump is no way anti-imperialist, not even in rhetoric. You could say anti-intervention, maybe even just anti-invasion, but I don’t think we should equate these things to any form of anti-imperialism

Saying trans people should kill themselves is a hell of a take tbh

It's been years since I read about the Soviet-Afghan War, and when I did I was a lib, but from what I remember the Mujihadeen weren't a fully united organization, it was various groups with different aims with the common cause of fighting the Soviets. I don't think the CIA worked with all of these groups and I don't think Osama worked with them, but there is that british headline about him, so maybe he did and I am misremembering. I imagine if he did he viewed it as pragmatic, since it would have to be after 82 probably.
