Its a bit long but I think its the best explanation of the Russel paradox. Essentially, numbers really aren’t what we think they are.

Just thought it might be interesting to someone at least.

For me, it kept a lot of the worst of the idiots away from places like reddit.

As soon as xitter got bad, lots of them left. You see, those kinds of weaponsied, unhigned right wingers are so repulsive to be around, they can’t even stand each other. More so, they dont even want to have a conversation or an exchange of ideas. They literally just want to rant at people, parroting the lines they read somewhere else at anyone they think disagrees with them.

If everyone agrees with you, you have no one to rant at.

Please, the Ferengi weren’t forced birthers.

Its the rest of us who are Ferengi, on our good days. Those right wingers are even worse.

I see a fair amount of online adverts that use them. Usually the kind you might get orbiting an article of some kind, just using AI images as their hook.

Oh, for sure but come the 50th occurrence however…

You ran out of rum didn’t you James?

And it ain’t what it ain’t.

“Well, that’s just how it is”

Person attempting to justify an injustice they also suffer, without even a thought about whether it being “how it is” might actually be connected to all the people saying dumb stuff like “Well, that’s just how it is.”

Thats certainly one possible explanation for why Americans chose to simplify the spelling of the words they use.

The irony being that those are their genuine concerns.

Nope, come on man are you kidding me (?) and disagree again.

I agree that maybe you can’t but that doesn’t make it true or not. The last Conservative government of great Britain showed themselves to be utterly corrupted by greed and capitalism. They didn’t even have to pretend not to rip the entire country off during the covid pandemic.

Even then, its not “more” or less than the US. My point is just that capitalism corrupts all governments, to one extent or another, because its incompatible with democracy.

If there is a top, in terms of money or having things etc., then it isn’t communism.

Please name which country in Europe has a government thats hasn’t been bought and paid off.

Of course, no one can. Unfortunately, that’s because capitalism is incompatible with actual democracy. Theres isn’t a country in the world whos democratic process and systems of governance hasn’t been utterly corrupted by capitalism and all that it brings with it.

If there’s a top that someone could rise to, it isn’t communism.

Same but some of my friends i went to uni with is a moron who went on to do a PhD…

Its like having your work marked and, if they don’t Iike it, they’ll just say like “not clear enough” or “needs more research” and deny its publication.

I mean, what they meant was “you haven’t addressed Dr Y et. al.'s critique of that particular essay’s attempt at modelling the disease you’re researching” but they’re not just going to come out and tell you that. That would be too easy.

Every now and then I feel like I can hear them muttering some kind of highly expletive death threat at reviewer number 3.

My favourite part about “woke” is that, at its heart, its just an anonymous authority fallacy.

If you look up the actual meaning of “woke”, in this context, wiki or anything reputable will tell you it means to be aware of and not want to perpetuate discrimination in society. So, not being allowed to fire someone just for being gay would fall under the definition of “woke.”

Now, conservatives will tell you "no, we don’t mean that stuff. Thats just “common sense.” You see, we all had a big meeting and we decided, as one, that this right here is common sense. However, everything past this over here, thats all woke nonsense that we don’t like…

Of course, that meeting never took place.

What, can’t you understand what were saying here? How come we all know what we mean by common sense and you don’t? You’re not stupid are you?..

So simple and obvious that they, apparently, can’t explain or define their own meaning.

Well of course, if anywhere wed be sending them to Rwanda right guys? You like sending people you don’t like there isn’t it?

Thats wild, thanks!

Yup, the rules are simple: you serve the empror by killing the alien, the mutant and the heretic.

All else is blasphemy.

That depends, is that where all the tea is?

Pretty much dead on but the offender was a native born black 17 year old who is reported to have been very religious and a regular attendee at a church local to them.

The far right made out that they were a brown, Muslim asylum seeker.

Its funny that people dying of starvation, in the USSR, is seen as a crime of communism but the exact same people will refuse to accept, by their own “logic”, that would make the rest of ALL the starvation in the world a crime of capitalism.

How do you even start to deconstruct that kind of indoctrination?
