    I’m not joking when I say consuming every propaganda helped. It allows you to measure each set of voices by their accuracy. You can figure out if people online are correct or wrong about something by taking measurements in your own environment and comparing that to the observations. This does create an issue where you might only trust things in your observable reality, and I would say there are trustworthy places for boring information like the history of groups of people and how light or sound work. Wikipedia put us a long way towards understanding eachother.

    Anyways, kinda rambling but my point is, reality is easier to trace than people think. Your opinion isn’t usually too far from reality. The rest is usually misinformation that can be corrected through curiosity.





  • Real talk, let’s say you did have metrics that rated users on a scale of not misogynist, semi-misogynist, and misogynist. What would you do with that information? Never mind how the rankings themselves are even captured, let’s say a feminist psychic was able to scan the whole world. What now?

    The way I see it, things like misogyny and racism require more than knowing. They require understanding on the part of the perpetrator. If they dont understand the transgression, they can simply claim that you’re unreasonable for granting them the title.


  • Not to defend this too much (misogyny and racism are popular pastimes in the states and I do think Kamala being a black woman was a factor in her losing), but Biden would have lost her race too. People that say Kamala’s bad stance on Isreal and dearth of big ticket items cost her the election might be pushing it a little, because it wasnt just one thing, but she was weak in those areas and it definitely cost her votes. Could a different strategy have flipped the states she needed? Who knows. It’s just not a wise strategy to blame everything on prejudice because doing so completely erases your ability to ever get someone other than a white male elected.
