Would the opposite of light be dark or darkness?

In 2022, people were cancelling Stranger Things for the tattooed numbers being reminiscent of the Holocaust and them filming in Lukiškės Prison. Now, those same people are “cancelling” it for having multiple Jews “Zionists” who are a part of it. No opinions on the first part, but it’s just interesting to see.

it's cool how even normal people on the left have gone from like performatively complaining about how antisemitic harry potter was to just unilaterally deciding that jewish pain and antisemitism don't matter because someone might mistake them for a zionist if they defend us

I really don’t trust the major support for Luigi Mangione. There is a certain group that people call elite, globalists, rich, evil, oppressive, etc. even though they aren’t, duh. And I certainly don’t trust Americans with that. Vigilantism shouldn’t be encouraged. The second you say “it’s okay for person A to kill person B because this or that” you’ve gone too far because that allows A LOT based on different people. I think of Emmett Till (“its okay for us to do this, because he was being sexually aggressive,” which we know now that he actually wasn’t). But horseshoe theory I guess. No one has the right to play God (why I’m against the death penalty as well!). Another thing, being violent, as a form of political resistance, shouldn’t be supported. As a queer (white) person, that’s something I really am inspired by as part of the Civil Rights Movement, and wish there was less violence in the history of queer political resistance, since it was non-violence that changed so much in America with civil rights. Now there’s even support for the cyber truck bomb guy. Which, I know no one was killed except for himself, but c’mon, really? Why don’t we all go back to what we learned in elementary school? You can’t fight fire with fire, two wrongs don’t make a right.

I love duck sauce I could fr drink that shit

These are really starting to look like YouTube titles lmao

I say, "Ableism is bad." You say, "Ableists all live in their mom's basements and don't contribute anything to society!"

I say, "Misogyny is bad." You say, "Fuck all men."

I say, "Homophobia is bad." You say, "All religious people should be shot in the streets."

I say, "Racism is bad." You say, "White people are the devil."

I say, "Murder is bad." You say, "I hate any idiotic bitch who disagrees with this."

I say, "Body shaming is bad." You say, "Everyone who disagrees is ugly and has small dick energy."

I say, "Fascism is bad." You say, "Yeah, kill all nazis!"

To which I say: you do not know why ableism, misogyny, homophobia, racism, murder, and body shaming, and fascism are wrong.

Go, go and meditate on why these things are wrong and don't come back until you arrive at the answer.

That’s oddly… specific

As someone who used to be this, if you physically can’t do NNN (I don’t mean forgetting about it or something, I mean trying your best and literally NOT being able to do it), there’s a problem, a big one. I mean this in the nicest way: get help. I got “sober” a while back, until I decided that I could go back and pace myself so it wasn’t an addiction. I know now I can easily do NNN (after being sober for almost a year before deciding to go back). NNN is a good way to see if you really need help. Please find yourself help if you need it (For example: therapy, getting sober on your own, distracting yourself, talking about it with partners, etc.) Please, please, please, it’s so important. /srs
