  • it’s tough being a white man in America these days.

    In all seriousness the deck is so stacked in my favor that the small amount of misandry there may be wouldn’t bother me at all. Generally the only way I’m underprivileged (adhd) is largely hidden. I don’t believe I’ve ever encountered misandry in real life. Online I’ve come across it occasionally, but it tends to be in niche communities I’m not a part of that I’ve stumbled on. And honestly there is so much misogyny that pervades our society that I’m inclined to give them a bit of a pass.










  • I’m having trouble formulating this coherently because I’m tired and have adhd but here goes. I think that by curtailing the absolute freedom of an individual you can give more actual freedom to more people. Essentially that the government isn’t the only place you should fear tyranny from. A strong government can prevent small tyrants from running roughshod over others. Eg don’t let someone/corps dump waste, this denies people clean water, natural beauty, etc. Robust social programs funded by aggressive taxation mean more people have the freedoms that health brings, freedom of movement via extensive public transport. It also should allow us to tackle big problems that need a lot of coordination, such as climate change
