    Let’s say you’re right, shouldn’t people try to stop other from going down that pipeline? Send a Destiny video or something.

    But I don’t think you’re right, I’ve been just about at this same point for 15 years.

    I love having conversations because I love deeply understanding things. I toy with ideas like little fidget toys, sometimes they end up being more interesting or useful and sometimes a friend tells me it’s dangerous and I put that idea down.

    I’m curious, did you see what videos I posted? It’s a black guy advocating for class based social justice. If he’s wrong, if the ideas he’s espousing are dangerous, I’d honestly like to understand how.

    … but “debate me bro” and “I’m just asking questions” means I can no longer debate or ask questions. Well, at least on the internet.

    Thankfully I’ve got friends who know me, understand my intents, and also seem to enjoy having these conversations with me.

    I’m literally punching down on an entire group of people, republicans.

    Also, I don’t quite grasp all the rules of slurs. I’m not making a derogatory use of the term towards someone with a intellectual disability (also, that’s a term that’s starting to pick up the same “slur” vibes, just as retard did from originally being a medical term).

    Am I allowed to use the term retard if I myself have a learning disability? What if I’m of some other demonstrably lower caste group of people in the American social order? Is that still punching down?

    I’d honestly ask those questions, but then I’d be “just asking questions” so let’s just say those are rhetorical and we can just end the conversation here.
