       Not rly subroot but prompted by toots I just read:I'm not a big fan of cis men as a whole but like, the constant stream of "men are trash" also serves to alienate individual cis guys who could learn more about leftist stuff and prejudice if given support, but instead they're made unwelcome and turned away.This just means they'll keep searching until they find another place that welcomes them better. 1/2

       And what groups are gonna be more welcoming? The "alt-right".Like, I get being tired. I get not wanting to deal with cishet ignorance, I really do. I think we simply ought to be more careful about how we talk about them, because as much as you might hate to think about it? They are individual people, who are just trying to do the best they can with what they've got. 2/3

       Sometimes you need to vent, I know, but also... do y'all not realise that not only does venting only help in the *very* short term, but makes anger and frustration *worse* in the long term? Sometimes you need to vent while learning to manage manage things better but you can NOT rely on it as your core coping mechanism while being a very good person. Decent, maybe, but not very good.

       I've been becoming quite aware of how bad short-term solutions and shortcuts really are, in so many subtle ways.Sometimes it's more obvious, like shortcuts in factory processes making them dangrous; other times it's more subtle, like how reward / punishment externalises motivation and kills intrinsic motivation in the long-term. (it's an easier way to raise kids, but less good for them once they're adults). /end
