Him being a poly sci professor somehow makes this less surprising.

Easily my favorite part of the “Krasnov” libspiracy.

Well, you see, Epstein was also a Kremlin asset. /s

There are definitely people out there who believe this.

I had an intense and unreasonable fear of Satan as a child. Yes, I went to Catholic school, how could you tell?

Putting aside the fact that human nature is a BS concept invented to pacify people into not overthrowing their society (the other comments have already hammered this in enough), it appears to me that you even recognize this on some level.

We just can’t overcome human nature as there’s a system in place that beckons to the worst in us.

Clearly this system is at least having an affect on how “human nature” is expressed. It’s not much of a leap to conclude that this system affects what is even considered “human nature”.

I can totally see it.

I saw someone refer to healthcare and housing for usians as treats once. I feel like the term has lost a lot of its meaning.

AI researchers are the worst, even moreso than average tech bros. Marvin Minsky, one of the most important AI researchers of the second half of the 20th century, was also a diddler in arms with Epstein.

Holden Bloodfeast: voter edition.

This guy needs to be an emote.

I thought Gunther was more of a balkanization kind of guy. Is this character development?

Things cost less… but at what cost?

Bit idea: Fetterman keeps having a stroke every few years, becoming an absurd caricature of a different political ideology each time. Basically Jreg with ischemic characteristics.

“An airplane needs both a left and right wing to fly.”

Unlike you blue-haired liberals, I don’t have pronouns.

There’s a whole ass therapy paradigm based on looking at people this way.

In my own experience, my parts seem less well defined. Kinda closer to Disco Elysium like aspects (though even less clear cut than those).

You’re telling me a shrimp fried this Democrat?

Americans too.

Fun fact: Lemmy’s browser UI converts -- into – when rendering markdown.
