It’s also an easy misunderstanding to make for a journalist or online commentator because typically when somebody decries somebody “making something political” or “getting more political”, they mean in a way that they are not because to them, “their views aren’t political” even though they absolutely are.

The article I saw said he was getting more “political“ recently, not more left-wing…

When one group proclaims the sadness of tragedy of a great harm upon a member of an intolerant group and the intolerant group refuses or even celebrates that same sort of great harm against the other that normalizes the one sidedness of that for that society. Calls for reciprocity become decried as politicization

They’re not being bullied for their behavior, they are being bullied for their existence (unless you’re suggesting one support the bulling behavior). In our current environment there is no shortage of people reinforcing and welcoming the bullying behavior and decrying the existence of the bullied. If it was an issue of unfamiliarity you would have a point but that’s not the environment that exists and I’d prefer to make the bullied feel welcomed than the oppressor with what limited time and resources I have.
We all have choices to make, you seem to have chosen to make the oppressors and bullies feel more welcome with your time.
(Also, your link says that people who are ostracized by others tend to continue that cycle not that people who ostracized others were themselves victims of ostracization in the past. That’s swapping cause-and-effect, and doesn’t support your contention)

Imagine a scene where 2 new people come to your house for a party made up of people from many backgrounds, one is kind and the other is hateful and verbally abuses and bullies the one who is kind for something they have no choice over such that they leave your house. Then seeing this one of the other party members kicks the bully out of the house for them being massively rude. Now being massively rude and dehumanizing to others is an active choice one makes, that’s not a outgroup that one is in through any choice but their own. The party is still welcoming of all who preserve the welcoming environment of the party.
You’re arguing that the rest of the party should feel bad that the asshole was kicked out.

Exactly the opposite. We should have empathy, tolerance, and inclusiveness for all, unless people choose to exclude themselves from that collective. I’m saying those who only have parochial empathy shouldn’t expect to receive empathy from others they’ve already cut themselves off from, and it’s not something those they shut out to be shamed for that they experienced the repercussions of their actions.

Some people say empathy, tolerance, & inclusion are strictly moral values. However this misses that they are also a social contract lest we end up in the paradox of tolerance.
Kirk had none for those outside his in-group. Those outside his in-group owe him none in return.

It’s still more feature rich than Nano, with things like macros and multi-file search/replace from the command line though since I started using it, Nano has taken up some of the slack.

While I can use Emacs and Vim (adequately enough) I really feel in love with Joe back when I was first learning Unix.
- Comment on The future of Vim builds for Windows 2 weeks ago:
No one even uses Vim anymore, you should just switch to Wordpad. It’s far superior cause you can type in bold and italics.

True love is the greatest thing in the world—except for a nice MLT—mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe

- Comment on St. Paul, MN, was hacked so badly that the National Guard has been deployed 1 month ago:
Minneapolis and St Paul (Cross-River sister cities, St Paul is the State Capital) both have mayoral elections on November 4, 2025. The one you’ve been seeing mentioned more likely is the Minneapolis one where the DFL (State Democratic Party) endorsed a candidate for the first time in a bit and it was the challenger to the incumbent Democratic candidate.

Probably not the mayor, the governor of the state was the VP candidate for Kamala Harris.

This reminds me of the person that suggested in a response to a request for ADHD “life-hacks” where they would wet one of their socks before starting a specific high-importance task and could not take it off until the specified task was completed.

Perhaps one of the most interesting words in the English language today, is the word "fuck". Out of all the English words that begin with the letter 'f', fuck is the only word referred to as "the f word". It's the one magical word. Just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, hate and love. "Fuck", as most words in the English language is derived from German ...the word "fuieken", which means to strike.
In English, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories:
- As a transitive verb for instance: John fucked Shirley.
*As an intransitive verb: Shirley fucks.
Its meaning is not always sexual, it can be used as...
- An adjective such as: John's doing all the fucking work.
- As part of an adverb: Shirley talks too fucking much.
- As an adverb enhancing an adjective: Shirley is fucking beautiful.
- As a noun: I don't give a fuck.
- As part of a word: abso-fucking-lutely or in-fucking-credible.
- And as almost every word in a sentence: Fuck the fucking fuckers.
As you must realize, there aren't too many words with the versatility of fuck such as these examples describing situations such as:
- Fraud: I got fucked at the used car lot.
- Dismay: ahhh fuck it.
- Trouble: I guess I'm really fucked now.
- Aggression: Don't fuck with me buddy.
- Difficulty: I don't understand this fucking question.
- Inquiry: Who the fuck was that?
- Dissatisfaction: I don't like what the fuck is going on here.
- Incompetence: He's a fuck-off.
- Dismissal: Why don't you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself.
I'm sure you can think of many more examples.
With all these multi-purpose applications, how can anyone be offended when you use the word. We say use this unique, flexible word more often in your daily speech.
It will identify the quality of your character immediately.
Say it loudly and proudly: FUCK YOU!
