Neither were the churches. Or the hospitals. Or the UN facilities. Or the Schools. Or the desalination plant. Or the tents filled with refugees. Or the graves of Australian soldiers. Or Palestinian civilians. Or the greenhouses.

Do you understand?

Exactly. The only language violence respects or listens to is violence.

It's the tolerance paradox - and why it's a death sentence to tolerate groups or people who won't reciprocate tolerance.

except the alchemists actually strived to move towards more reliable and accurate science

Forgive if I'm misunderstanding, but wouldn't that be chemists striving toward reliable and accurate science? Sovcits being alchemists or petty magi is a pretty great comparison, honestly.

Oh. Didn't know about that one - is that a new dogwhistle or has that one been around for a while?

You're right - but I can see how the tone was interpreted as oppositional, I could have worded it differently to direct that more clearly. No harm afaik, lol.

Then they could refer to it as how she used it, as her stage name - it seems like he still used it as her act title because her brand was her former name.

It's like talking to a performer - when they're on stage or in the artiface of their character, you recognise that by using their stage name or their characters name; when the artiface is removed and they're not performing anymore, you recognise that by using their name.

I'm this way, we're implicitly saying we're mourning her act rather than her. If that's not the case, we should be using her name - not her stage name.

Agreed on the barrel. Truly, I'll just be happy when we all stop framing them as a legitimate opposition. Now that Labor has decided to become the hot new Neoliberal corporate lapdog, the LNP offer nothing but accelerationist regression.

With earnest, grounded work and hope, we might back from the last 30 years of centre-right madness.

I don't know, I think we have a responsibility to eachother to keep the Fediverse ecosystem healthy - Facebook/Meta isn't exactly a humanist... well, anything.

I think it's fair the white blood cells of our 'body' are calling for re-enforcements on this.
