    I try to speak respectfully to whoever I speak to and that includes using pronouns they want so getting it wrong is always unintentional. But I’ll still always speak to any group of people as “you guys”. I use that speaking to my 16 yo daughter and her girl friends. It’s just not gendered speech, and I know some disagree but whatever

    There’s a lawyer I like to watch on YouTube but once he advocated jif pronunciation and I’ve barely watched him since then. If he apologized I might change my opinion. What’s even worse is that he’s obsessed with proper pronunciation. I think he was just trying to create drama to drive interactions but for me it backfired.

    The degradation of American freedoms and the abuse of our election system is definitely a both sides, where many things aren’t. Neither party wants to lose power by opening up ranked choice or modern election systems and both parties prefer the power of the state over the power of the people.

    The US hasn’t had a domestic war since the civil war. How many wars has Europe had domestically since then? Hmmm.

    US citizens are powerless to the machine that was built generations ago. We vote between corporate funded warhawks or more liberal corporate funded warhawks. Personally I like the idea of not helping Europe much in future wars, we have more than enough problems of our own. But as much as Europeans hate America for their military prowess, I hate us for it too because we’re all paying for it in human suffering.

    We’re policing the world and neglecting our people and it isn’t sustainable. If you need to fight for freedom, start your own military dominance. But fuck war. Americans mostly just want to live peaceful lives but bring a land war here and it’ll get lit.
