  • Ignoring the fact that gender dysphoria is a real thing whereas hysteria isn’t,

    I'm not sure how you can make this your premise; back then hysteria was very much "a real thing". Also one could say that doctors have manipulated people undergoing surgery now into giving consent

    Jump

  • I got downvoted recently for saying "If you’re friends with someone, wouldn’t you want to know if they’re also friends with someone problematic?" and "I would definitely want to know if my friends were close with people who’d been in prison."

  • What is something that 2020s kids will never get to experience?

    Jump

  • Though to an extent, the lack of community, especially amongst children is due to the complete lack of independence and they have to depend on their parents to drive them everywhere.

    where do you live that there's not even a playground or a residential street within walking distance of your home?

  • Has exercise helped your mental health?

    Jump

  • When I'm feeling blue about something for a while, I do try to exercise daily. I don't know whether or not endorphins make a difference for me but I do not that I feel more awake after exercising. I like the feeling that I accomplished something for that day and it keeps my routine regular. The alternative that I can spend a lot of time thinking about something troubling me and I'm not productive.

  • What is something that 2020s kids will never get to experience?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't use "never get to experience" but i would say it's much harder to have that real sense of community that we easily found in the 90s, early 2000s, etc.

    People are more connected to others but still more isolated from others. We were less connected to other people back then so people made a real effort to come up with fun activities and bond together. For kids, it's the lack of just playing outside in the neighbourhood with friends. For adults, it's the lack of third places and community/religious events.

  • What is the word for someone who is friends with different groups but doesn't have loyalty to any one group?

  • Orr would defend his Communist friends to his Fascist freinds and he would defend his Fascist friends to his Communist friends. No one ever defended Orr because he was too weird.

    yes this is basically what I mean

  • I know people who were Christians in Afghanistan, who were outed to the government (Taliban). The word they use is “spy”. It may not be the normal, English use of the word, but it’s the word that real-life people who have been on the receiving end of the betrayal use.

    This is basically what i mean; someone who you can't fully trust about their allegiance.

    That is really awful what happened to those people; are they ok now?

  • That is such a heads-up for me in terms of making assumptions based on my own privilege, and I apologise for doing that here. I’m very lucky to be able to discuss politics without fear.

    it's ok, everyone has their own problems

    my wording was maybe not clear

  • Not a good way to make them see reason. I know it’s hypothetical but if you’re friends shouldn’t you put in some effort to help instead of just drop them?

    you're planning to spend time debating with a ziganwu? or if you're western, a staunch far-left or far-right supporter or someone with very racist views?

  • no, it's normal to have a variety of friends

    i'm talking about people with loyalty to a specific ideology and they are not honest about who they are in contact with, i live in asia in an area where you can get in a lot of trouble if you support democracy and if you share such information with the wrong person you can get in a lot of trouble

  • I heard them called “bats” because they flap around between different groups and are associated with darkness thus “shady”!

  • In any case, political crimes (“democracy supporter”) are just more justification to not care, imo.

    you are saying you want people to not care about who they share information with when they live under a state that will arrest you for many more reasons than someone in the west would expect?

  • Hmm I think it's fine if someone is a social butterfly, they don't have bad intentions etc. I am talking about someone who seems like you can trust them but actually they have other loyalties, I live in a place where people get arrested for supporting democracy for example
