It's so weird that we have a culture that treats teaching pride to children as a bad thing.

Thank you! I would like to clarify that I don't mean ASPD people are apolitical in their choices. Only in their instincts. Lacking the instincts for politics, your every action in relation to politics is purposeful. In some ways you have far more choice than a neurotypical. You have the negative freedom to make your own political choices without your instincts interfering. But, on the other hand, you lack the positive freedom of instincts to help you in politics.
You have the potential, I should say, to be apolitical in a way a neurotypical could never hope to match. A neurotypical doesn't get a choice, they have to be political. The least explicit politics they can manage is centrism, while still having tons of implicit politics. You could go far beyond that. I'd like it if you didn't, though.
Soulists do not believe in social contract theory. The social contract was invented by Enlightenment philosopher John Locke, the "father of liberalism". Locke was a capitalist. Soulists are anarchists. We don't like liberals.
When it comes to Soulists, you're more likely to find utilitarians among our ranks. We punch Nazis not because Nazis violate the social contract, but because Nazis threaten to bring genocide and war. While a social contract theorist would happily deal with a Nazi who was polite, well-mannered, and followed all the rules, a Soulist would not. A Soulist would pull out the baseball bat and tell the Nazi to get the fuck out, no matter how well the Nazi follows the social contract.
Thank you! If I get more reports of paywalls I'll switch to posting scribe links by default. Hopefully this was a one-off bug.
They paywalled My articles? They're not supposed to do that, I have monetisation disabled! I can't see a paywall in incognito mode, can you share a screenshot of the paywall?
Until I get this sorted out, here's an alternative frontend
I don't even think that employee was being a dick. He's a man, the customer was calling for a woman. How's he supposed to know she wanted his help if she won't say so? She was just bad at communicating with her words, not his fault.
Oh yeah you might be right about most of the "homosexuality is a choice" guys. I wrote that article right after Nick Fuentes got caught looking at gay porn, so I was thinking about that cliche.
Oh yeah statistically it's gotta be that some homophobes are queer. Queer people are 10% of the population, and homophobes are even higher. Two groups that large, there's got to be crossover. Historically, it would have been even moreso the case.
I'm just unconvinced that queer people are the majority of homophobes because that makes no sense, and I'm unconvinced that the study randomly found mostly bi homophobes. The sheer prevalence of the gay homophobe trope is out of proportion with the conditions that would have been capable of creating homophobia in society in the first place and sustaining it.
For one thing, the study asked the men to rate themselves on the Kinsey scale. Those men fully believed they had never felt attraction to another man. And only 20% of the homophobes showed no penile reaction. Meanwhile, 66% of the gay-accepting men had no reaction.
Actually, it was Nemesis, the god of divine punishment for hubris. Nemesis' job is to punish any mortal who thinks they're the equal of the gods. And in Greek society, asexuality and aromanticism were so villified that not dating anyone was equated with thinking you're equal to the gods. It's a nonsense stereotype kind of like the American/English stereotype that trans women are sexual predators.
When Narcissus was born, an oracle warned his family "This boy will die if he sees his reflection". But it's unclear whether Narcissus falling in love with his reflection is a natural character trait, or something Nemesis cursed him with in addition to showing him the spring. It would have looked the same either way to the oracle. Either way, Nemesis knew she was killing Narcissus on purpose, just to answer the prayers of an incel who was mad he wouldn't date them.
Other fun facts: Narcissus was 16 when all of this happened. He was 16, and society already thought he owed other people his love or he should die.

I got the psychiatrist's approval for genital nullification surgery. I have a surgery date next year. I'm going to be able to wear tight pants and bikinis.
