@futurebird this is a fantastic example of the conservative imperative: people "belong" in specific places - literally and figuratively.

Being "out of place" is the worst sin. It must be stopped at all cost.

It's also why they disdain empathy and harm mitigation. Punishment is what keeps people in line.

When we see the world around us, sometimes we see the beauty in it and sometimes the ugly. If we are not seeing the ugly at least as often as we see the beauty, we are complicit in making the world a crueler place for some people. And sometimes, sadly but truthfully, we have to allow for a crueler world, in return for better mental health.

my goal is to get to a place where i don’t judge people on *anything* other than their values. everything else is either not their choice, and/or is none of my business. #MoralFramework
the middle class is so fucked up in that it shames spending of money but seeks and glorifies its accumulation. how much more ass backwards could your values be?
