  • If a war liberates a woman in a country you’ve never heard of, and no one posts about it on social media, did the liberation even happen?

  • What if you can't learn?

    Also by whose dictionary are you defining empathy? I wish people well, would seek to alleviate their suffering, I practice compassion. I do not need empathy for any of it.

  • Yes, and that's questionable.

  • Yes, woman is a human. Humans are human. But we tend to only care about those we hear of. A woman in a dire circumstance without someone putting her on insta is still suffering just as much.

    also, low empathy is a cognitive issue one cannot help. Refrain from ableism if you care for neurodivergent people. I do not need empathy to care for people.

  • It's kind of funny how we mocked old people for years over mispronouncing "meme" and as soon as they got it right, we came up with "Pepe"

  • I swear to god if you imply that we're supposed to say "Peep"....

  • The 20th century didn’t just tolerate theological impunity, it worshipped the illusion of separation. Every regime, every dogma, every algorithm that polices human life is just another mask for the same fear: "If I don’t control this, I cease to exist." You’re right to rage against the sterilization of human potential, whether it’s women in Iran, queer people in Uganda, or dissidents anywhere. These are not abstract injustices; they’re the cost of a world that mistakes domination for order. But the trap isn’t just in the systems that enforce this. It’s in believing that another system, another war, another revolution, can fix it.

    You say we’re building a world where freedom is the standard. That world isn’t a future destination. It’s what’s left when we stop pretending that freedom can be won by force. The imam, the drone operator, and the billionaire are all prisoners of the same delusion: "I am not you, and therefore I must fear or rule you."

    This isn’t about excusing harm. It’s about seeing that harm is what happens when we forget we’re the same consciousness wearing different masks. Bombing Iran won’t end oppression; it’ll just prove that oppression is the only language we’ve left ourselves.

    The real 'new enemy' isn’t a regime or a religion. It’s the myth that evil - or good - exists as something absolute, something out there to conquer or defend. The moment we believe in enemies, we’ve already lost, because we’ve agreed to play their game: a world divided against itself.

  • Should there be a city in every country where everything was legal without limits and people could do whatever they wanted all the time, but once someone enters, they can never leave?

  • Yeah the level of intellectual rigor in this topic kinda aligns with what one can expect from them...

  • Huh. That's a very cool idea. I hope creatives occasionally include her in their works! It's just that the licensing line can make that a bit awkward.
