    Showerthought:

    Labels like “woke,” “maga,” “liberal,” “democrat,” “republican,” etc are in themselves invitations for self-identification or pejorative labels to create the illusion of “the other.”

    We don’t have to think or identify with these words.

    We can be ourselves and identify with our children, family, friends, and neighbors: the things that are actually important.

        “Nazi” is another good example of a label that creates “the other.” Words like this are often used by groups to dehumanize people. A good example of this is the use of “Untermenschen” by the German National Socialist party of the 1930s and 1940s. By labeling groups of people Untermenschen, the National Socialists were able to pave the way for the exclusion from society and eventual extermination of several groups of people.

        In the US, an obvious parallel is the labelling of people “illegal immigrants.”

        There is no use of these labels other than immediate division and eventual dehumanization, so I don’t use em. You’re obv free to carry yourself as you please.

    Do you wrestle with knowing that your political and moral leanings are not only influenced by their counterparts, but also with not knowing if those beliefs are even truly choices you make?

      My beliefs are my own, If I Wanted To Be Like Everyone Else I’d Be A Republican. I will always think everyone is an equal except republicans, they are less than human and after this orange pedophile shit deserve nothing in this lifetime and any after. You reap what you sow, I have and always will stand up for anyone that isn’t a Republican

        Yup you have more in common with those you hate than you’ll admit. Everyone’s a good person in a world full of bad people.

            And the people you oppose think the same for you. The fact that your can’t understand that just keeps proving my point.

      Look at this guy, trying to ignore colloquialisms.

      While the original may have been grape whatever, the English language has adopted the phrase “drink the Kool-Aid” to mean the unthinking following of something.

      And I know you understand this concept because you used the word gonna, instead of going to.

      Which part the protection of pedophiles? the lack of empathy, the lack of human morals? the shitty economy (fuck capitalism) everytime they take office? the lack of accountability, the blaming others? Jesus Christ y’all Republicas are fuckin stupid
