That’s just common courtesy

I remember that. Yeah, some hexbear users were saying that all white people should be killed. Apparently saying “no one should be killed for the color of their skin” is racism. Or at least according to their definition of racism.

I am so glad I blocked their instance.

The tricky bit is how you guys have redefined what xenophobia/sexism/racism/transphobia means. I don’t mind catching a ban, but at least get the reason right.

Absolutely same. I actually pretended to be a communist when I was in high school.

Add in a few remarks on porn sites, I’m pretty sure I’d have to change my name, my face, and go live in Brazil or something

I eat fast food on every road trip. I don’t really travel for the food in random small towns on the way. So if I get hungry, I get either gas station food or fast food.

It’s not because it’s good, it’s because it’s fast.

BK is always trash though. Bucc-ees is relatively good, so is Quik Trip. And Dunkin makes pretty good iced coffees for a decent price.

OP literally asked “what emotions are appropriate to show come about? How far back in western history does this idea of limiting men’s ability to emote honestly go”

That sounds a lot like stoicism to me.

Man, you need a full on historian for this, but I’ll try.

Iirc, the whole stoicism thing started in Ancient Greece, but there’s probably earlier instances of it. It waned and waxed throughout the centuries, growing stronger sometimes and growing weaker others. The current way of it is basically from the protestant way of thinking combined with various wars, like WW1. I seriously hope you go reading stuff outside of Lemmy, I haven’t studied this stuff in over a decade.

Now, for a non-western perspective, the east has a similar concept in Bhuddism, and it’s just as old as western stoicism.

Iirc, there was also some Indian tribe (Cherokee?) that also made a big deal of it. I can’t speak much on it.

For the record, stoicism is not about being a robot, it’s about being emotional stable. There’s a massive difference.

I don’t know about that. I’ve seen a lot of people claiming to be left wingers wanting to disarm people.

Honestly, I kinda enjoy seeing the opposite side, the lefty shit

It reminds me just how insane the left can actually get. Like y’all think taking guns is a good idea, that only the police should be armed. It’s just stupid.
