No it's not. It's just these thoughts don't result in anything that dramatic in healthy homes, just some unpleasant self reflections about maintaining relationships. A part of growing up is to realise that you aren't that great to be around all the time and that you can really let people down. Part of that is to make connection of how your less pleasant aspects affect how people feel about you even to a point that they no longer want be around you. So of course you think what your parents think about you, how they feel about you and what can you do about it.Not a universal. Sounds like something only kids from broken homes or with bad parents would do.
Literally comparing black people to a fictional giant ape. God damn.
Posting lyrics for We're Coming For Your Children by the San Francisco Gay Men's Choir just to have on record here
I'm almost convinced that people are fucking around.
Yes, it is. Children who aren't autistic weirdos realize short of raping and murdering a family member their parents aren't going to stop loving them ever. They put up with you all through shitting yourself and being helpless to being a bitchy teenager. Healthy families don't question if they're loved by each other, only neurotic weirdos worry about those things.No it's not.

Affinity Groups is actually pretty sneaky. 100% pure Marxism. It's designed to try and foil any attempts by the glow in the darks to infiltrate them, or DAs to use RICO laws to nail them to the wall for organizing riots or terrorism. Basically you don't have "an organization" you just have a bunch of friends that happen to go to the same Marxist bookstore, yeah? And they talk, and maybe know each other's phone numbers, right? And maybe some of your friends also go to the Marxist co-op grocery store, too. And maybe some of the people at the Marxist co-op go to the local college. So if the college is about to fire some Marxist for some unjust reason like "expecting her to do her job" or blatant "racism" against white people (yeah right), group C there can get the word out, and someone in group C will tell Group B, who will tell group A, and then all these groups show up and protest at the same time. But they're not an organization, you see? And if group A is arrested en mass, well, they don't know group B and they sure as hell don't know group C, so everyone in B and C are safe. And the true believers in Group D, who are organizing all this shit on a grander scale? They're 100% safe, since they're only nebulously connected to any of the groups.
A Note on Affinity Groups
The term "affinity group" is the English translation of the Spanish grupo de afinidad, which was the name of an organizational form devised in pre-Franco days as the basis of the redoubtable Federación Anarquista Ibérica, the Iberian Anarchist Federation. (The FAI consisted of the most idealistic militants in the CNT, the immense anarcho-syndicalist labor union.) A slavish imitation of the FAI's forms of organization and methods would be neither possible nor desirable. The Spanish anarchists of the thirties were faced with entirely different social problems from those which confront American anarchists today. The affinity group form, however, has features that apply to any social situation, and these have often been intuitively adopted by American radicals, who call the resulting organizations "collectives," communes" or "families."
The affinity group could easily be regarded as a new type of extended family, in which kinship ties are replaced by deeply empathetic human relationships—relationships nourished by common revolutionary ideas and practice. Long before the word "tribe" gained popularity in the American counterculture, the Spanish anarchists called their congresses asambleas de las tribus—assemblies of the tribes. Each affinity group is deliberately kept small to allow for the greatest degree of intimacy between those who compose it. Autonomous, communal and directly democratic, the group combines revolutionary theory with revolutionary lifestyle in its everyday behavior. It creates a free space in which revolutionaries can remake themselves individually, and also as social beings.
Affinity groups are intended to function as catalysts within the popular movement, not as "vanguards"; they provide initiative and consciousness, not a "general staff" and a source of "command." The groups proliferate on a molecular level and they have their own "Brownian movement." Whether they link together or separate is determined by living situations, not by bureaucratic fiat from a distant center. Under conditions of political repression, affinity groups are highly resistant to police infiltration. Owing to the intimacy of the relationships between the participants, the groups are often difficult to penetrate and, even if penetration occurs, there is no centralized apparatus to provide the infiltrator with an overview of the movement as a whole. Even under such demanding conditions, affinity groups can still retain contact with each other through their periodicals and literature.
During periods of heightened activity, on the other hand, nothing prevents affinity groups from working together closely on any scale required by a living situation. They can easily federate by means of local, regional or national assemblies to formulate common policies and they can create temporary action committees (like those of the French students and workers in 196to coordinate specific tasks. Affinity groups, however, are always rooted in the popular movement. Their loyalties belong to the social forms created by the revolutionary people, not to an impersonal bureaucracy. As a result of their autonomy and localism, the groups can retain a sensitive appreciation of new possibilities. Intensely experimental and variegated in lifestyles, they act as a stimulus on each other as well as on the popular movement. Each group tries to acquire the resources needed to function largely on its own. Each group seeks a rounded body of knowledge and experience in order to overcome the social and psychological limitations imposed by bourgeois society on individual development. Each group, as a nucleus of consciousness and experience, tries to advance the spontaneous revolutionary movement of the people to a point where the group can finally disappear into the organic social forms created by the revolution.
It's worth me pointing out that the CNT-FAI were incredibly vicious anti-Catholic militants and burnt down churches, and that the guy you quoted talks about how his affinity groups were literally inspired by them.Stuff about affinity groups
Didn't we have a picture of some morbidly obese Canadian women holding up a sign about how much they love burnt churches a few pages back?It's worth me pointing out that the CNT-FAI were incredibly vicious anti-Catholic militants and burnt down churches, and that the guy you quoted talks about how his affinity groups were literally inspired by them.
We did.Didn't we have a picture of some morbidly obese Canadian women holding up a sign about how much they love burnt churches a few pages back?
I'm legit surprised this isn't another hoax by James Lindsay et al."Participants (1 white, 1 black female) crossed at a midblock crosswalk on a multilane road in a low income and a high income neighborhood. "
crossed at _a_ midblock crosswalk on _a_ multilane road
"a"
They looked at one crosswalk in one low income and one high income neighborhood.
ONE?
Unless you're a child, that's not a study. Unbelievably terrible.
What a sneed.
What happens next?This doesn't remind me of how commies try to get rid of religion during a revolution at all.
