I’d argue the concept of “evil” itself is a human invention and serves to separate ourselves from people and problems we don’t care to try to understand.

I have this argument on kinja all the time. Even otherwise non-superstitious people want to believe in monsters and “evil.”

Los Angeles? I don’t dare look up our water quality (I remember reading there’s Xanax in it though, lol) but there’s lead all over the place in Boyle Heights.

You are, as they say, a special kind of stupid.

1. What you said was sexist.

Lately it seems like a depressing amount of political discussions end up boiling down to, “I’ll tell you what’s best for you, little lady.”

Having a vagina means that you have skin in this game, it is in your interest in a real physical way, a tangible way, for the republicans to stay out of the white house no matter what!

Dude. I don’t give a shit if you vote or who you vote for. It’s none of my business. Just like how I vote or whether I vote is none of yours. My whole point is that you’re both wrong and an asshole, so leave people alone if they want to vote for Bernie but not Hillary. Why do you presume their opinions are…

Amen to that. But there’s always the hope that someone slightly less bananas will learn something new.

It hurt getting all these degrees ;)

You told another commenter they were “insane” to vote for the candidate they support. You said, “Voting for the left is pretty much all we can do.” I’m trying to convince you that the left is a whooooole lot bigger than that, with room for other goals and tactics. I’m trying to convince you to take a broader view of…

You don’t have to know complicated political theory; you just have to let go of this religious reverence for voting and look at the system as it actually exists. Everyone doesn’t have to share your analysis, or vote for your candidate.

Here’s an article that may help explain my original comment. Lots of people have…

You can disagree with science if you want to. For that I’d just call you stubborn and dumb. The name-calling is what that makes you is a troll.

Also! This is totally unsolicited advice, but try to go easy on yourself. Give yourself the kind of love and acceptance other people didn’t provide, as best you can. It sounds like you’re doing your best to take good care of yourself. Try not to think so much about what you “should” do.

Re-reading your post, I think a…

Oh, I get it. You’re a troll. Good luck with that!

How would you know? Are you seriously suggesting young white women with blonde hair are never abused? That’s absurd.

It’s never too late! Some of my favorite clients are 50+.

I guess that’s different for everybody. If you can’t, there’s nothing wrong with that.

That’s exactly what I said, in the vey sentence you’re quoting. But I’ll explain again. Because legislative attacks are coming at the state level, the executive - no matter how much you like them! - can’t do much about it.

It sounds like you’ve never heard much leftist political analysis at all. Not everyone believes in the sanctity of U.S. elections.
