  • I think many people underestimate the level of impulsivity associated with crime.

    The average criminal who breaks and enters is not doing research based off your bumper stickers to determine your weekend routine so the house is empty.

    They usually are just walking down the neighbourhood and spot an open door, run in and grab valuables then leave.

    Do you really need to read volumes of theory to grasp what is fundamentally a rather straightforward concept?

    Leftism shouldn’t be locked behind intellectual elitism.

    TL;DR the capitalist state will use threats of violence/actual violence against threats to capitalism which includes those who stand for progressive ideals. Leftists believe this is a justification to use violence against the state.

    Not sure I agree as it seems like black and white thinking.

    I.e. I could imagine a scenario where someone is very obviously/admits to using neopronouns disingenuously and that would break my social contract with them to honour it.

    If I make an assessment of neopronoun usage on a case by case basis I can still avoid witch hunts. It’s similar to how I determine in real life if someone is an asshole or not.

    Another way; I can support a person who I genuinely believe uses neopronouns while denouncing and excluding someone who doesn’t.
