If you think I'm a Democrat or part of any party, you don't know me.
I'm virulently anti-tribalistic and it's hurt me professionally, socially and romantically my whole life. Trust me, I've got nobody. It's a big problem.
So yeah, the tribal claim, that's just you. You're just talking about yourself
- y-curious 9mo ago> positive change happens > “Goshdangit why did arbiter of change get lobbied by [tangential cartel]?” I don’t think it’s a good take, although I won’t go so far as to accuse you of political bias. It’s not like the guidelines say to eat Tyson-branded chicken; Let’s not complain about positive progress. You know what got the flawed food pyramid created? Lobbying by Seventh Day Adventists. That did not get enough outrage as it hurt countless people in ways that are difficult to quantify. They made fat and meat the enemy across the country because of their religious beliefs. They paid off researchers and even had one claim that Coca Cola was healthier than steak. Let’s focus on forward progress and not how we got there.

- nishanseal 9mo agoNot to go off topic, but this comment really spoke to me. Have also been hurt everywhere in life for being anti-tribalist.
- stef25 9mo agoSorry didn't mean to attack. I'm thousands of miles outside the US sitting firmly in the center watching left and right be at each other's throats over absolutely everything so maybe we're kind of alike.
- 5upplied_demand 9mo agoIt sounds like you are having trouble seeing the positives in a tribe you don't belong to.
- jibal 9mo agoPerhaps someone in such a position should not be confident about their understanding of what they think they are observing.
- Aeglaecia 9mo agothanks for showing me the way that i sound when i make sweeping admonitions
