Funny how it’s always the title of “looter” when it’s the oppressed demographic.

The Man From Earth is such a great low key sci-fi film. Basically a handful of people in a room dissecting a story, with wild implications.
John Billingsly, Ellen Crawford, and Richard Riehle. Such a great small cast!
If one hasn’t seen it, go in blind. Enjoy!

And it definitely won’t negatively affect people of color, at all, will it?
- Comment on If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater? 3 weeks ago:
I mean, it’s basically arguing semantics, which was my point. Temperature, sediment, etc. transfer will still occur, and erosion will happen. It would just happen at different time scales.
- Comment on If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater? 3 weeks ago:
Continents and the surface are just areas of the planet that don’t have water covering them up.
If Earth’s oceans rose only a few miles up, it would be a water planet, but these things would still exist. Including plate tectonics and the circulation of magma / molten core.
Water circulates due to pressure, temperature, and impurities, each having their own positive feedback loop into the system before it finds a balance.

Punishment. They aren’t against abortion, they’re pro punishment. They don’t think any laws should be about mitigation or helping, only as a means of punishing.
It’s in how they talk, “she should have kept her legs closed”, “that’s what you get for being a slut”, “if you don’t want to have a baby, don’t have sex”. The pregnancy is a punishment for anyone who wants to have sex, but doesn’t want to have children. And jail or death is the punishment for avoiding that previous punishment.
When taking about gun control, too, “why should I - a law abiding citizen - be punished for the actions of a few criminals?” “ShAlL noT bE INfrInGeD”. They don’t want laws to do anything but punish. Mitigation? Expansion of freedoms of “them”? No
Look at voter ID laws, they’re restrictive to our freedom, but proposed as punishment for “fraud”.
And it often stems from an individualistic and Evangelical ideal. Everyone is “responsible” for their actions. There are no systemic issues in the mind of an evangelical. God is punishing the individual. The laws are punishing individuals. We don’t need to change, because we includes I, and I don’t need to change, because “I’m a good Christian warrior in the fight against evil”.
And evangelicals definitely think there is a spiritual war going on, so punishment of the “wicked” is always an option. Because being wicked is an individual issue.
(Also why they think drug addiction is a moral failing of the individual, not a societal one, and therefore they should be punished).
Right now, evangelicalism and their Christofascist views are moving into political positions of power. They have tons of money coming in, and even if Fuckface 45 (their evangelical God-king warrior) doesn’t get into office, they’ll still continue to influence policy and grab seats of power.
We need to be aware of them, and stop them at every pass.

At least 4 years. I was using a flip phone until around 2010, and that’s how I normally use Twitter when I wasn’t at a computer.

Not really. It was fun to talk to people that you barely knew. It was kinda like a hybrid of a chatroom and a forum.
But it grew to become shit.

Those groups were only “white” when “colored” people became the scapegoat. White supremacists still continue to shift the spectrum to treat their own better than “the other”.
