Okay, if you believe that’s the way forward, what are you doing to further that goal? Or what do you believe are steps that folks can realistically take to bring that about as fast as possible, so as to prevent as much harm as possible?

Nah, fuck that IMO, even the name itself is beyond saving

A new actually progressive party that brings about a new system is the ideal path forward at this point if the goal is to meet the needs of the people and actually give everyone a chance, that’s my current opinion on the topic from my current perspective (saying this because things are changing quick so idk WTF is going to happen in reality)

No? It’s only been a few weeks, it’s not that easy to replace a judge without them leaving normally.

It’s all good, what I’m getting at is basically this:

Don’t trust the stripper = don’t trust a specific one, like the one someone is paying to dance for them at any given time for a hypothetical example

Don’t trust a stripper = strippers shouldn’t be trusted in general

Lol no worries friend. Mostly joking. You don’t seem to have bad intentions from what I can tell.

They said “the stripper” not “a stripper” which if I’m reading it correctly is… Slightly better I guess?

Okay sounds like you prefer to do nothing productive while others work on solutions. If you are correct in your assumptions, I hope you’re preparing for what you believe is coming.

You don’t seem to care much about the incalculable damage done to (and over time the rapid expansion of) the disabled population caused by the cult of capitalism and any and all consequences of the perpetuation of said cult. I find that to be pretty horrific honestly, it affects me personally and many people I know and care about, so I take a lot of care not to perpetuate harm by taking steps to understand the ways that harm comes to people and the part I play in that. “Distasteful” is an understatement.

It sounds to me like you haven’t actually talked to many of these people, or at least actively listened to them and tried to understand their concerns. Think this through. At what point do things get better if we don’t start changing how we do things now? What do you prefer to do, and/or suggest as a solution, if those two things are not one and the same?

Edit: also idk about you but I’ve already been in an era of suffering, I’ve been disabled and marginalized and mistreated, and so have many others. To me, treating people as complex beings with layers upon layers of motivations and ideas and beliefs and sensitivities and so on is an important part of respect and I see it as necessary if we are ever going to be able to change how things work and end the global perpetuation of harm.

Thank you. That person is either extremely misguided or arguing in bad faith.

What a horrifying thing to say. To me this reads as if the cost of the lives of the elderly and disabled folks (not your own country’s disabled or elderly folks, of course) who rely on social security and other federal and federally funded programs is well worth what you consider to be a desirable outcome. Its not realistic and it feels bloodthirsty. Please tell me if I’m misunderstanding.

Then fucking do it.

I am.

I’m just respecting their choice. Why can’t you?

Because many of them made the choice under extreme duress; because they are people who deserve at least the chance to learn and become engaged in helping others; because, as I have stated, I believe the manipulation is pervasive and powerful and generations old and I don’t fault people for falling victim to it. I understand you are frustrated. I understand it’s hard to put yourself in others’ shoes. The solution is not to exclude, but to understand what got us here and start doing the work, internally and externally, to create a better system from the ground up that will ultimately give individuals the tools to make better choices that are consistent with what they really believe, when not under threat of starvation/being cut off from or bankrupted by health care/homelessness/imprisonment/violence/etc.

Edited to add: I missed a couple things at the end of my first comment. I said “Convince individuals make better choices and take action.” I meant to convey that what I’m saying is what I recommend one does to make change, by giving others the tools, support, opportunities, and motivation to make better choices and take action, and set the example that such things are possible, quite literally being the change you want to see in the world.

people … literally do not matter

Um, what? Even with the rest of the sentence, these people have been manipulated so thoroughly that they hold, in my opinion, very little of the blame, to the point where it’s not at all worth assigning it to the group as a whole. It’s not productive and it doesn’t help anything. Convince individuals to make changes and take action.
