I follow askgaybros on Reddit,it’s all “this piece of shit Christian homophobe misogynist got what he deserved, here’s his gun quote AGAIN. I’m not losing any sleep over it” apparently unaware of the vile projection and possible storm headed their way because they can’t stop lying and signaling to each other. I know it’s Reddit, but my god. Looking forward to some reasoned conversation. I like Ryan. Great podcast with James Lindsay recently.
Thankyou for the link, that was a very interesting conversation. I appreciate how honest you are about your experiences, that's very brave and very helpful. I had a similar up bringing but the female version of it. Thankyou.
I will have to check it out after work. I was pretty much in shock the last few days. I don't think it's randomly symbolic that he was shot in the neck, when all he did was want to talk. I've seen things saying, "Debate is over," now. And I just started to sob this morning surprising myself. I barely knew him, beyond seeing some quick clips of his debates with leftists and changing minds, etc. A tragedy happening so close to 9/11... I know violence will follow from others. I can't stop it. It's beyond insane to me that other Democrats are just okay with people saying these gruesome, callous things online. "Putting up with" something like this gives them the okay to do it again. The lack of enforcing boundaries and using shame to stop this is an act of approval in some sense. THAT's what terrifies me.
I think that social media number one and NGOs number two. NGOs live on government grants so if the Trump Administration wants their "nutsack" could be cut off tomorrow. Social media of course, no easy answers.
There have always been totally insane, evil, psychos in this world. But not only does social media connect them it amplifies their voices. It makes their numbers seem much larger. And it deepens the already sickness of the minds of those voices.
I really liked that you mentioned we cannot "save" people from Cluster B. They have to be willing to do the work themselves and they have to see that they have a problem like any addict. And just like the best thing we can do for addicts is to not enable them by enforcing boundaries, we can do the same for Cluster B. People just need to enforce boundaries and shame people for shameful behavior.
You know the difference between a drunk and an alcoholic? A Drunk is an alcoholic who doesn't realize or wants to admit they are an alcoholic. An Alcoholic is a drunk who knows they are a drunk. You aren't a drunk. Maybe you were but now you are an alcoholic. Same thing with junkies and drug addicts. Congratulations on the progress. Tough road to go down and even harder to keep walking on it every day.

I watched this last night - it was awesome! Such a great convo. I sent it to my gay Republican therapist friend. HA! <3 XO
A great discussion. And your contribution, Josh, was terrific. Thank you

That''s fine. I didn't mean to offend you. It's just the way I see it.
