In my memory, 2014 is exactly the year when militant euphoric neckbeard atheism became unfashionable and no longer "edgy". That's about when boys in basic or my friends' students stopped loudly telling everyone about it at every opportunity. I guess Internet addicts/social media whores really don't do anything until it's guaranteed completely widely acceptable and updootable.
That does open up the opportunity to become an actual evangelical though. And I'd be remiss at not pointing out how many of the modern day "movements" like social justice and even QAnon type stuff is very steeped in missionary and millennialist type thought with only the traditional Christian justifications stripped away (or in the conservative stuff weirdly perverted) for socio-cultural reasons.
I had a suspicion that the original tweet was discourse about men pissing on each other in public during pride, which has been making the rounds on the twitter sphere. So I looked up the original full tweet. So this is what she felt the need to push back on:
"Every horrible thing people did throughout history came from people who thought their beliefs felt good and true, and that they shouldn't be testing their own bar."
Agreed. Some non-parents have the worst Dunning-Kruger in the realm of kids/childrearing. It's telling to me that my most "progressive" friends are kid-free while my parent friends all trend centrist/classic conservative. Having children changes how you see things, full stop.
agree with you but she is actually mind broken enough to where i would fully believe she would expose her kids to this shit. Hopefully she doesn’t ever have kids for their sake, unless she seriously matures.
you just made this up for shock value right
Cool I'm now going to go "test my bar" that all people are equally deserving to draw breath, thanks Aella!!!
I wonder if she realizes that "testing the bar" also applies to her own beliefs. That her belief that it's okay to expose children to kink and nudity should also be challenged.
Well her mind is
There are several "sex researchers," or whatever they want to call themselves, floating around who champion the idea of asking kids for consent for everything. If you search "asking kids consent to change diapers" for example, you'll find some dangerhair they/them who says this sort of this cements the concept of consent. If you think it's just some weird theoretical idea, read Abigail Shrier's book "Bad Therapy" for tons of anecdotes about parents doing this kind of thing with absolutely disastrous results (or search on reddit like she did for some of the examples).
Combined with the worst case of McNamara's Fallacy I've ever seen.
Congrats, you've come to the same conclusion as that German sexologist that placed foster children with pedophiles as a 'social experiment':
Please stay 500 feet away from children at all times, Aella.
This would be a step up for her. Aella seems to dismiss anything she hasn't personally seen even when large amounts of data is available. If we look to surveys she would have thought Vietnam was going well because it was still supported by a majority of people into Nixon's term.
