RE: https://mastodon.social/@tzimmer_history/116946860428204967
It is important not to dismiss the fact that roughly one third of Americans still support Trump (and that evidently many are prepared to do so even with violence, physical, economic, and more).
It is equally important not to dismiss that the group that supports him, and the actions and goals of this fascist regime, are a minority, and they know they’re a minority.

Deserves to be widely read/shared! #Pride #Pluralism #Pluralistic #Society
"A stable pluralistic society depends less on universal agreement than on the ability of citizens to coexist without experiencing every visible difference as existential hostility. That requires a kind of restraint. Not every symbol must be decoded. Not every celebration must be morally totalized. Not every public expression requires an immediate declaration of allegiance or opposition.
"What we really owe one another in public life is something both smaller and harder: clarity about our own convictions combined with enough confidence to allow others to inhabit shared civic space without constant fear and escalation.

I’ve been reading Žižek and Heidegger lately. Žižek labels himself a Communist (politics), Lacanian (method), and Heideggerian (ontology), so I asked Claude and ChatGPT how I fared.

Indonesia ranked #1 in human flourishing. It's also deeply religious. The lesson isn't about religion — it's about coercion. New piece by @bledewitz.bsky.social

"What human culture added was interpretation, prestige and normativity: it turned sentience into personhood, and personhood into something sacred. The crucial catalyst was the evolution of language, which, about 200,000 years ago, gave human beings new ways to describe inner life, attribute it to others, and elevate it into a shared ideal."

Brad Onishi examines claims that James Talarico is a “liberal Christian nationalist.” Using the Whitehead & Perry definition, he argues Talarico’s focus on pluralism, church–state separation, and universal dignity contradicts Christian nationalism.
Is he a Christian nationalist of the left? No.

I don't like how fellow Muslims talk about Islam to Western audiences. It's always defensive. Taking the offensive stance once in a while is necessary. Islam doesn't need defending. It's those who paint it as dangerous that need to explain themselves.
Read my critique of Western political frameworks. Consider it a mirror for those who claim to be allies in the West and “anti-imperialist.”

Context: Someone wrote a post about a reading of erotic poetry where they opined about how awkward and distasteful it would be for them to hear people the age of their parents read erotic poems.
I found this very upsetting and responded to that thread explaining why.
Hopefully they've removed that post. I can no longer see it. Though I guess it's possible they blocked me and that's why I can't see it. Either way, I'm removing the individual's name and instead just reposting my rant, which still needs saying.

Why does age matter here?? What does that change? I can see cringing at erotica at all, like some people object to PDA, but as you age you may realize there's far less difference than you think, and how outright inhumane it is (and I don't use that as hyperbole but as literal truth) to have older humans treated as something different than "regular" humans, made to live life separately and diminished in participatory privilege. If you think it differently offensive than race segregation, maybe think harder.
It is scary enough growing old without people treating you like the walking dead who need to stop participating in regular life and just sit by and watch available time pass, kept from doing anything by people who casually and without apology talk of it like "of course it must be thus".
It may seem like just words but such words form rock hard prisons in our society. Actual enforcement of such separation occurs exactly because people shamelessly call for it in this way. It would be in many cases more humane to offer people death with dignity than require they live on in such a world that sees and treats them this way.
It's hard to overstate how angry this makes me.
