"And of course this just amounts to a fine on Manning’s supporters, because we obviously aren’t going to let a heroic whistleblower be saddled with crushing debt"

Whenever I try to talk about bad behavior of a group and how it's hurting everyone else, I always get pushback from the elements of that group who feel the need to point out that it's not ALL the people in that group. Let me show you the opportunity you miss when you do that:
I am white but if I hear people talking about the insidious role white women play in protecting white male privilege, I stop talking and listen. Why? Because they are describing patterning that I have or have had, but maybe I haven't made it conscious in myself yet.
Finding conditioning in myself that is playing out unconsciously is the gold. This is what I try to point to when I say that we change the world when we change ourselves.

The primary reason people are so vulnerable to propaganda is that hardly anyone clearly sees just how much human consciousness is dominated by mental narrative. There's a night and day difference between reality and the stories minds tell about reality. Manipulators exploit this.
Most people assume that the mental stories in their heads are an accurate reflection of what's happening outside their skull, and it just isn't. Manipulators know they can just feed people stories, narratives, about what's happening and they'll accept those narratives as reality.
Manipulators know they can trade a bunch of convincing words in exchange for all sorts of real valuables: sex, deals, loyalty, votes, political power. Humanity's deluded relationship with narrative means you can get real, concrete treasures in exchange for pure illusion.

Progressives are correct that the Dems will never stop fucking them over if they keep unconditionally supporting that party. What they fail to take into account is that the Dems will also keep fucking them over if they DON'T support the party. Because they're fine with losing.
Progressives assume that they have negotiating power because they assume, wrongly, that the Democratic Party exists to win elections. It doesn't. The Democratic Party exists, first and foremost, to sabotage the left.
A Democratic Party leader retains their status and donors regardless of who wins an election. But if the left ever succeeded in taking over the party and implementing anti-oligarchic policies, that would end. Given this, who do you think party leaders perceive as the real threat?

Okay Homestuck Twitter; as the current thread is super ridiculously long I'm going to split 2012 off into its own thread. Read down here to keep following me once you're done with the prior "history of the MSPA fandom" megathread.
I think it can't be overstated how much the fandom adored Jake English in particular. Basically the second he was revealed people latched onto him as literally the hottest thing in the story. He was the fandom's new husband and everyone loved him.
He was also someone who wouldn't be able to take a hint if there were airstrip lights guiding him to it. Not stupid so much as incredibly socially awkward due to his isolation from humanity. He also basically immediately overshadowed Jane in the fandom's eye

#SUICIDE
DOES IFA ENCOURAGES SUICIDE???

From the below write-up, I can CAPITALLY say 'NO' to the above question. Read what Ifa says about suicide 👇👇👇

Ifá ní;Tí o bá ní tì ẹ pọ̀ lápọ̀jù,
Tí ó bá gbọ́ tọmọ ẹlòmíràn wa dúpẹ́ dúpẹ́,
Thread
Adífá fún Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ tí ń lọ sí mọ̀run Àìkú,
Ẹbọ làwo ní kó ṣé,
Ó sì gbẹ́bọ níbẹ̀ ó rúbọ,
Ǹjẹ́ Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ mọ́mọ̀ so!
Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ mọ́mọ̀ so!!
Iré kù níwájú ó, Ire kù lẹ́yìn,
Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ mọ́mọ̀ so.

Ifá says:If you say your life situation is too much to bear,
If you hear about others' you will surely be grateful cast divination for Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀ who wanted to kill himself(simply because of his life situation).
He was asked to make Ẹbọ which he did.
He says "Àràǹdẹ̀dẹ̀, do not commit suicide!"

Over the past 2 days, hundreds of doctors have shared heartbreaking accounts of how #gunviolence is a #publichealth issue. These are the stories of #docs4gunsense ... May their words make a difference.

The result of a bullet ricocheting inside the skull and destroying the brain on CT scan. The worst trauma I have seen. GUNS ARE A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE – Gen Geller MD, NY #docs4gunsense @drgenngeller
The damage a bullet does to a 1 year old brain as it ricochets back and for. The guilt the family feels. The sadness we all feel.
