Also, it is my 34th birthday tomorrow! If you want to contribute to that, I am going to put some links to do that here, and that will be the last you hear of it, because I'm already quite grateful for the generosity I've received.

Manufactured Discourse meta; Hellsites meta
I was recently linked to a twitter thread talking about this 4chan post. In the thread, people were pushing back against the arguments of the post, but all the same, but they were still discussing it as if it's a thought that a reasonable person could have.
I think this is a very clear example regarding how 4Chan and KF are able to manufacture discourse through sites like twitter (and how the overton window can be pushed in general).
"You don't have to convince your opposition that what you're saying is right, you just have to convince them that it's something a reasonable person could come to this conclusion. You'll have people arguing on your behalf in no time."
Don't accept the premises of these arguments, don't accept the idea that these are arguments reasonable people should be having. Do not give them the benefit of the doubt.

Figured out the mic issues: Mic audio wasn't being sourced by my actual microphone :V
Still, this was supposed to be an experiment, and I was able to figure out how I would want things to go moving forwards!

Internet bad; islamophobia
If there's one thing that gets me angry, it's supposed leftists showing their whole ass with the acceptable bigotry of the day, and playing the victim when people call them out.
Literally just saw someone claim that Islam is a cult, and imply that nobody can consciously practice it without promoting evil, using colonialist "hate the sin not the sinner" rhetoric, using LGBT+ oppression in Iran as the scapegoat for the entire religion.
