many of my tweets are deliberately false statements intended to tweak ppl into getting mad enough to develop a rebuttal
yes, i am a practitioner of the dark socratic method
blackpill on that method is that usually ppl just get mad and dont come up with any interesting responses
whitepill is thats fun too
xanatos socraticism
more seriously you dont have to believe things that you think and as long as your good at maintaining your distance from your speculations there can be a lot of value in _just saying stuff_ to see how it sounds outside your head, and in letting ppl interact with those thoughts
for example the first two tweets in this thread were a fun self-framing i was just trying out. i think theyre maybe 20% true overall, and mildly funny, but by writing them out and skimming replies i was able to iterate to the third tweet, which i think i endorse >90%

eyeballing it seems more common from first gen than second gen which suggests some combination of integration is working and newer immigrant waves are different (worse)
im reluctantly coming around to broad and aggressive immigration restrictions for a generation just to let the people already here integrate and for all this shit to settle out into a new ethnic detente because the status quo is just not working
i have to say i do not regularly interact with any business that exhibits greater nor more systematic contempt for its customers than does medicine
normal businesses: yes we would love to take your money. how can we help you
medicine: oh you probably have pneumonia? this 50yo battleaxe will menace you, lecture you about the proper procedure for scheduling. no she won't help you. no you can't do that here. get fucked lmao
i am going to sit, sick, in an empty lobby for 180min or more
there are three administrators at a desk doing nothing as far as i can tell
this entire industry needs to be cobalt nuked
praying for everyone with a healthcare degree to be summarily fired and replaced by robots
