If you watch nothing else today, watch this. I haven't stopped thinking about it since I first saw these screenshots and looked up the vid: youtu.be/WRS9Gek4V5Q?si=7_LO…

When did anyone say that science is infallible? The whole point of science is that it's falsifiable, unlike believing in magic just because the universe is mysterious
satanic slut girlfailure 🎃⚰️🔮@ickycasket11h
you absolutely lose me in this discussion if you come at it as if science is infallible/hasn’t been utilized by nazis/conservatives (phrenology, eugenics) and as if magic is only ever braindead or reflected by the US/White supremacist versions of it.

genuinely how do people not feel incredibly embarrassed typing things like this out? magic isn't real and trying to conflate believing in it with being a woman or being queer is just disgusting

Honestly a lot of the anti astrology stuff sounds like the revenge of the nerds against socially successful queers

a concering amount of spiritualists view scientists as running magic experiments and doing their best to ignore the magic around them as they write down the magic numbers that the universe gave them so they can then take credit for the magic in peer reviewed non-magic journals

People into astrology are like actually exactly like Mormon missionaries where you gotta tell em 15 times you dont gaf for them to get it And even then they will not leave you alone because they'll start explaining how you need to try and understand it

I know astrology is bullshit cause I work with somebody who was born the same exact day and year as me and were nothing alike lmao. We both cool tho

(Marxistly) science is for boys and star magic is for girls

Note how criticisms of astrology are always substantive while its defences vaguely gesture at how you must be uncool or evil if you don’t like it

This is also why I'm antitheist, because religion is exactly what normalizes these childishly irresponsible excuses to spread harmful bullshit
ThelRaiser🏳️‍⚧️🦌👻@EPM106Oct 17
this is easily the most confusing position you could possibly take and yet somehow it seems to be pretty close to the median one “yes it’s untrue and yes it’s extremely harmful but you’re annoying if you don’t like it” like what goes on between your ears genuinely

porn has been a free speech issue for decades, championed by people who have no interest in consuming or making it. it's about rights! i'm a turbo-pervert but plenty of non-turbo perverts take this issue seriously. if you're amongst actual adults this is a normal conversation.
joe@spinningjoeOct 16
i do think it's concerning that the government is seeking to legislate against consenting adults viewing film of consenting adults engaging in legal activity. but the problem is saying that makes you sound like a turbo-pervert

Good rule of thumb is that if the only way you can defend a concept is by arguing against the very concept of "truth", it's because what you're wanting to defend isn't true

I do love that everyone seems gagged by finding out that marxists are opposed to mystical thought. we've been at this for over a century why are you shocked

I think tarot readings are fun and I love yapping about star signs but like, it's not materially real and you shouldn't be basing your decisions and especially your political beliefs on it
thereisnobeth@thereisnobeth20h
ok but it is really important that we all agree magic isn't real

mystical thinking is a mindset that makes you especially vulnerable to reactionary thought. there's a reason the crunchy granola types disproportionately got into maga and qanon

Stars and Stripes behind Quaritch when he's very upfront about his colonialism, but a Star of David when he wants to larp as indigenous. Bravo, Mr. Cameron.

My mom didn't have any friends to attend her funeral when she died because she pushed everyone away. I think that's going to happen to a lot of you.

Social media has normalized treating others as disposable playthings, ready to unadd/block over minor inconveniences, or once your "usefulness" has worn out, and I hate it

I have the mental illness where it genuinely does not occur to me on an intuitive, emotional level that it’s even possible for my absence to hurt people, like I truly do not FEEL that worry in the slightest because my emotions tell me my absence must a neutral, harmless thing
