And i am not going to turn off Anon so you could potentially put me on blast either. Not to mention I really don't feel comfortable using my actual blog for everybody to see if I say "you know what I think you do have a point and people are missing the point" with the concern of people harassing me because of im considering what you're saying is not as bad as everybody make it out to be.
I never said you should. I just pointed out that it's pointless to jump to extreme conclusions because that's something you do to keep other people from suspecting you might not share their opinions on everything when you're on anon and no one will ever know it's you talking to me.
Trust me, I get not wanting everyone you know to have access to every part of your life, online or otherwise. I keep this blog very separate from my "real life" online presence because I know it would cause trouble if, say, people I work with found out about it. You don't owe anyone online your identity.
The only thing I'll repeat from earlier is that you might want to think about expanding your circle of people if everyone currently in it would attack you just for talking to someone like me. I'm not even saying you should ditch these people, because I don't know who they are or their relation to you. Just find some other people who are more accepting or easy going about politics and social issues.

Archive.org deliver a windfall of lost music.
If you’re looking for a good way to spend the rest of your week, Archive.org have unearthed a gigantic collection of cassettes from the mid-eighties into the mid-nineties. According to their notes, the collection was saved from the archives of noise-arch.net and donated by former CKLN-FM radio host Myke Dyer in August of 2009. Due to the size and obscurity, the collection hasn’t been properly notated but is said to include cassettes ranging from “tape experimentation, industrial, avant-garde, indie, rock, DIY, subvertainment and auto-hypnotic materials”. Head to Archive now to download the free collection.

The question to women that’s gone viral:
Would you rather be in the woods alone w a man or a bear?
Majority of women said bear.
Why? Because even if it did maul us, the following would happen-
1. We wouldn’t be blamed for the attack
2. We would be believed
3. People would hunt down that bear without giving it a second thought

"men should pay bills if I stay home" "he has to make 6 figures" girl what kind of lifestyle are you living that he NEEDS to make that much. my dad made like 90k until last year and I've always had my needs and pretty much every want met. y'all are just selfish and living outside your means if what you "need" is that expensive.
It's women who can't budget and have this childish dream of living a glamorous life on their man's dime because they "deserve it".

The reason I'm jumping to extreme conclusions is because these views is something that if I spoke about considering would get me jumped by people that supports certain things. Like for an example certain people who is pro LGBT. If I said "I think the ruling that legalize same-sex marriages should be overturned" I think they would think I'm following some homophone propaganda on the right, even though I am thinking this because there's also pro LGBT people on the right.
I kind of really want to say names just to make this clear but at the same time I can't for obvious reasons. Even though I kind of feel like it's somewhat important to do that since not saying any names it's kind of vague. Like saying the people on the left are wrong and you haven't said any names.
So...you're jumping to extreme conclusions because other people will jump to extreme actions towards you if you don't, even though you're on anon and no one can ever find out who you are?
That doesn't really make any sense. Unless you're saying the action of jumping to extreme conclusions is so ingrained because you want to protect yourself from the same thing happening to you, that you just automatically do it without thinking even though none of these people will ever know it's you sending these anons. If that's the case, you need better people to interact with. You don't need to wildly attack people just to deflect attention from yourself, especially on anon. I'm starting to think you're either very young and aren't emotionally mature enough to be wading into these kinds of adult political spaces, or you have some sort of anxiety issue.
And the reason I've never mentioned any names is because I'm not talking about specific people. I'm talking about t he beliefs of the modern left in general. I'm not going to list every policy or position and then list every left winger who supports them. If you have someone specific you want to ask me about, you can do that, but if I haven't heard of them I'm not going to do research just for an anon ask.

Since I’ve been asked this a couple of times here are some tips on how to tell if the media you’re watching/reading is credible and which way their bias leans. These are tips I came across via Katherine Brodsky on X and, ironically, a publication from NowThis a few years back (which is an outlet guilty of a lot of tactics they were calling out. But still, the tips are good). Employing these tactics when you are unsure about the media you’re consuming can help you determine on your own how trustworthy that source is or is not.
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don’t trust anonymous sources.
3. Don’t trust sources that cite other news outlets as the source of the information.
4. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
“We are getting reports” could mean anything.
“We are seeking confirmation” means they don’t have it.
“[News Outlet] has learned” means they have a scoop or are going out on a limb.
“Experts say/believe” who are these experts? How many were asked? How were they chosen? What are their credentials as they relate to this specific topic? Is there really a consensus?
5. Does the image chosen accurately represent the story?
6. Watch out for conflation. Media outlets will often try to conflate two things that have nothing to do with each other to try and make it seem like a certain thing/person is responsible for a failure or success.
7. Leading language. Whether a publication uses words like pro-choice or pro-abortion, gun rights or gun control, riots or protests, migrants or illegals, birthing person or woman will tell you a lot. This is a tactic that can often go unnoticed by people that is designed to persuade you to subconsciously accept a judgment or opinion of the journalist instead of just presenting the facts and allowing you to come to your own conclusions.
8. Bias by omission. A journalist can present facts in a way that appears to be neutral but in reality they have chosen to include some facts and exclude others, which creates an inaccurate picture and narrative and limits our understanding of the reality.
9. Another type of omission that can be very telling is news outlets simply choosing not to report certain stories at all.
10. Story placement. What makes the front page? What gets buried?

Hey remember when Tumblr banned porn and everyone fled to Twitter and the internet by and large became that much more insufferable? Yeah well, we’re about to get the sequel no one’s been waiting for
Tumblr media
A recent lawsuit is calling into question the very law that makes user-generated content possible on the internet and it’s going before a bunch of old people who have no idea how the internet works. If Section 230 gets repealed or modified, the internet as we know it will radically change forever. Content policing will be that much worse; and either the guidelines will be so restrictive it’ll squeeze the life out of their sites, or sites will close their doors all together by not being able to meet the moderation demand and not wanting to risk being liable. 
Unlike SOPA way back in the day, this one is quietly flying under everyone’s radar so there’s no big pushback like last time, so there is a very real possibility this goes down in the worst way possible. So Yeah Ya’ll may want to start saving your favorite content if you feel it’s going to go bye-bye

if you don't believe that the patriarchy exists, what do you believe?
That the earth is round, the moon landing was real, and 9/11 was not an inside job.

Deeply concerned by the number of people (especially women) who genuinely believe that women and men have the same capacity for physical strength
and who think you’re being sexist if you point out that they don’t
ma’am the only one equating physical strength with innate value here is you
it’s concerning that you think strength has anything to do with value
and if the men in your life ever stop being decent you are setting yourself up to be in so much more danger

If it’s better for women to stay home with the children and take care of the home then no it’s not wrong for women to be interested in men who have money and pay bills. I’m not interested in men who make less than six figures.
Okay, then you want a sugar daddy. Not a boyfriend.

The “punch a nazi” crowd sure turned into the “why are we being punished for harassing Jews on college campuses?” real quick…..
"If you have 9 people at a table and a nazi sits down, you have 10 nazis" crowd turned into "Hitler was right" really fast after a bunch of Jews were murdered and raped in the streets. No hypocrisy from these people can shock me anymore.
