some of y’all seem awful sure of things that seem like massive gray areas to me. sounds nice and i envy your conviction but i have to wonder if you’ve thought of some way to resolve these internal contradictions and inconsistencies that i haven’t thought of or if you’ve just never taken your arguments all the way to their logical conclusions.

#joke's on me for expecting to find anything approaching logic on some random social media site #anyway please share if you have resolved those internal contradictions because i would also love to resolve them #i'd love to feel sure about something someday. wouldn't you like to help me get there? lol #like the way people talk about things is like they're already self-evident when they super are not #which i understand! sometimes you're just talking to people who already agree with you and you don't want to have to sell your POV #every time you talk about it #makes sense! i do that too! and i resent the idea that by talking about things in the way that i want to talk about them #without constantly having to craft my message so that it's not super off-putting to people who don't already agree with me #(not necessarily people who definitely disagree but people who are undecided)#is going to end up alienating lots of people and making it less likely for them to be willing to listen in the future #but...that is kind of how it works on the internet unfortunately #like idk i think people forget that this is more or less a public forum? or they just don't care #i don't know. i mean i probably do all this too. it's just more obvious to me when other people do it with things i don't already agree with #part of the problem is that i've lost the ability to give people the benefit of the doubt of believing that they have actually thought #about things themselves and not just heard someone say something and taken it as gospel truth #i've been burned too many times #i mean that's part of the culture of this site #circulating screenshots of headlines without a link to the article #constantly taking things wildly out of context #piss poor reading comprehension lol #just generally never citing/linking anything that could allow people to look into it themselves #i'm vagueing in this post because i'm not actually trying to stir shit up i'm just tired and frustrated #and venting a lil bit #gonna go take a shower and listen to pop music from my childhood until i feel better lol
