The universe has fucked me over in a lot of ways, but I forgive all of that for making me huge dyke.

It will forever drive me nuts that one of the most beautiful bits of lesbian romance I've ever heard was said on a TTRPG show shared between a half-phoenix wizard on a time traveling vacation with her weird dad to her tiefling rock star girlfriend via a meteor shower And said by a STRAIGHT CIS MAN.

It also has a very limited definition of success. And of power.

I don't even know what that song is, so...no? 😎 To be fair, I'm not a fan of the genre in general, so Cash holds no particular place of reverence for me. But this is why the breadth of human creativity is so great, there's something for everyone.

He said that. I disagree, but he did say it. Hurt will always be NIN for me. I like JC, but I definitely prefer the original. It's not even close.

I get it. I understand how, in this current era of fighting for our very existence, it can feel unthinkable to negotiate on anything with people who fundamentally disagree with your right to live, even on matters unrelated. But making perfect the enemy of good is a self-defeating strategy.

TIL that song was not a Johnny Cash original.

We all have and should have things that are hard lines, things that can not be compromised, but the vast majority of political differences can and should be negotiated on. When everything is a hard line, you can only fragment into smaller factions until you have nothing but warring individuals.

People obviously can be and act contentious when disagreeing, but that is a separate issue from the disagreement itself.

If you mean 'disagreement' as in 'fight' or 'argument', then I understand where the miscommunication lay. I simply mean it as not agreeing, i.e. having a different opinion/view.

To be fair, I don't consider disagreement to be inherently contentious. As I suggested, I believe we have different connotations of the word.

I suppose it depends on how one voices said opinion. "My favourite pizza topping is pineapple" and "Pineapple is the best pizza topping" are both opinions, but one is a statement of preference, and one is a factual claim. One can be disagreed with, the other can not.

I think we might have different definitions of "disagreement." For me, a difference of opinion is by definition a disagreement. It's literally disagreeing about something. Perhaps the word disagreement has a different connotation for you than it does for me.

To be fair, if you already fully agree with something someone said, there isn't much left to say. If you disagree, there's something to contribute to the discussion.

The naysayers and the doomsayers are two attack wings of the same strategy: to get people to shut up and ignore the problem.

I am largely ignorant about her. Her music is entirely outside my tastes, and I don't follow celebrity news in general. I don't do heroes or pedestals. People or complicated. There are very few actual villains in the world and even fewer paragons. Just people, doing shit. Lionise no one.

People, when desperate and frustrated, easily fall victim to false promises of security and simple answers to the complicated problems they face and easy targets to blame. Despotism never truly dies. It must be continuously fought. There is no final victory against tyranny. Constant vigilance.

There's no limit to the number of dead kids they will excuse to keep the system in place. To break on this would be to admit their system, which they've formed the core of their identity around, is rotten to the core. They'd have to admit to themselves they're complicit in child murder.

It is, and it does, when I let myself think about it. And it makes me angry. At my parents for moving me away, at myself for my lack of facility with languages, at the system of oppression and greed that led to my people being pushed to the edge of extinction, at the humans who actively participate

A valid perspective. The problem is, just based on numbers, in a bunch of them, it'll be even worse. I'm riding this out as long as I can, but I definitely have no desire to do it again. That being said, take what comfort you can where you can with whom you can. 😘❤️
