Wow, thank you for the history lesson! I had no idea of the surrounding context of the artist and politics at the time. This has always been one of my favorite paintings.
Slur, “an insinuation or allegation about someone that is likely to insult them or damage their reputation.” So, yes. I’m not particularly worried about slurs against tankies, just like I don’t care about insulting or harming the reputation of nazis
ETA: pigs is a slur for cops, that’s a slur I don’t mind either
Lots of things work like that. It’s called connotation (personal definition and significance), which does not require denotation (an actual definition)
Personally, I define tankies as the fucks who support the Russian invasion and deny Tiananmen Square. You can be communist without being a fascist bootlicker
true, but my in-laws graduated about 40 years ago so their secrets are buried in the past
It’s #3 he doesn’t get, not sentence 3. In another comment he mentions believing that accidental pregnancies never happen in his country.
What is so hard to understand? A ton of pregnancies are accidental. You may be from a place that demonizes or covers it up, but it happens. Your lack of acceptance does not change the facts.
I didn’t mean to imply it was an ability issue, they are just unwilling to change lol, they don’t care about privacy. Classic “Well I don’t have anything to hide” fallacy
I got the same response from my 65 yo in-laws, it ain’t Gen Z
I struggle with this too sometimes, from a couple angles. Primarily, I’m worried about how people perceive me. I’ve been practicing not giving a shit what other people think of me for about a decade now, and I’m pretty good, but it doesn’t always work. I have to remind myself that it just doesn’t matter if a stranger disagrees with me, or thinks I’m a fuckwad/idiot/etc, just like my opinion of them doesn’t change their life. We don’t know each other. Their negative opinion of me has no real impact on my life, and holding onto that helps me move past caring about their opinion.
Secondarily, I stress about misinformation/toxic ideas being spread. I pipe up in a lot of discussions about feminism and the patriarchy because I want to clarify misconceptions that a lot of people hold about these issues. But, as far as I know, I’ve never changed someone’s mind, and the effort just brings me down. I have to remind myself it’s not my responsibility to teach someone why they might be wrong. The odds that I would actually succeed are very low, unless the person is genuine and asking questions in good faith.
The only thing that works for me is listening to movies/shows I’ve seen a couple times. That way it’s familiar enough to not keep me up wondering what happens next, but not so familiar that my thoughts take over.
Just curious, do you have ADHD too?
