-teens are bad
disagree!
the kids are alright
― the late great, Monday, 26 February 2018 04:44 (six years ago) link
I also disagree
teens are, in fact, the worst
but they keep being just a little better than the last set of teens, and/or that is an important story we have to tell ourselves to imagine any hope for our species

I thought "Trudeau is good" was just a liberal as opposed to left view, not a conservative view.

bc liberal party (i think flopson is referring to bc libs specifically) have quite a few former conservatives, so they're a coalition of sorts
http://nationalpost.com/news/politics/b-c-liberals-hire-12-ousted-federal-and-alberta-conservatives-which-could-give-province-a-harper-tone
they're technically centre -- to the right of ndp and left of conservatives

Unrelated, I've started to develop some conservative-ish views of the effects of the sexual revolution. Basically I think birth control and delayed (or deliberately avoided altogether) reproduction has contributed to society becoming more sexualized and more obsessed with sex, porn, kink, etc. I think our bodies/hormones are still telling us to impregnate and to be impregnated and the fact that it's not happening as much as it "should" is confusing us and causing stronger sexual impulses to kick in. I guess what makes me not a true conservative on this is that it's just a theory for me and not something I think we should enact any changes based on. Overall I think the positives of the sexual revolution vastly outweigh this.

i am wasteful with paper towels. i often use them instead of cloth napkins and rags. i think maybe it doesn't matter.

As scientific understanding has grown, so our world has become dehumanized. Man feels himself isolated in the cosmos, because he is no longer involved in nature and has lost his emotional "unconscious identity" with natural phenomena. These have slowly lost their symbolic implications. Thunder is no longer the voice of an angry god, nor is lightning his avenging missile. No river contains a spirit, no tree is the life principle of a man, no snake the embodiment of wisdom, no mountain cave the home of a great demon. No voices now speak to a man from stones, plants, and animals, nor does he speak to them believing they can hear. His contact with nature has gone, and with it has gone the profound emotional energy that this symbolic connection supplied.
― marcos, Thursday, 15 March 2018 20:30 (six years ago) link
I sort of believe that, but I think our sense of isolation grows more out of capitalist alienation than out of science per se.

I'm not that familiar with Jung, but I wouldn't have thought he'd be considered uncool and conservative (despite recent Jordan Peterson associations).

xpyeah I could be way wrong on this, but I would have thought the "mystical woo" aspects would make him unappealing to conservatives, but I guess it depends on how narrowly you want to define "conservative." I mean, marcos's quote is basically an argument in favor of paganism.

The phrase “toxic masculinity” is badly conceived and the fact that it sounds like it means masculinity is toxic makes it counterproductive. The fact that you have to explain it every time you use it makes it worthless
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Saturday, 24 March 2018 18:54 (six years ago) link
The things that are bad about “toxic masculinity” are just the things that are bad about masculinity, the extra adjective essentially signifies “#notallmen”
― valorous wokelord (silby), Saturday, 24 March 2018 19:00 (six years ago) link
iirc a non-negligable number of ppl who use the idiom believe that all "masculinity" is toxic

If you have to explain what 'toxic masculinity' means every time you use it, it seems to me you only speak to some kinds of people.
