RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I'm not sorry. Seeing someone who spread so much hate and bigotry and weaponized disinformation get his clock cleaned was absolutely fine by me.

I have empathy for lots of people even if we don't always agree, but not for people like Charlie Kirk.

All the pearl clutching from people who openly support a man "Who could shoot someone on 5th ave and not lose a single vote."

I'd call them hypocrites but they're too busy praying in public to hear me.

Their messaging is also weirdly contrived. They almost never do the same for deaths of innocent people, they consider them statistics rather than people. But then a bad guy meets a bad fate, and they bring out their alts accounts to tell you “yOu gUyS aRe eViL.”

Irony is lost on some people.

Yeah. Reading conservative subreddits last night was depressing. I was convinced most of the users are bots though. All of them seem to be saying the same shit.

Sadly that is actually the level of critical analysis that CK listeners operate on. The biproduct of being religiously conditioned to trust in authority without question.

Well, I say they seem like bots not because they are mad/sad he died, or about their beliefs. But just the way that thousands of people are all expressing hatred and intent for violence against the left, in very similar ways. They sound like LLM output to me.

What a sad day to be literate.
