has only further isolated the region) and i think it is possible for grown adult humans to recognize human dignity & human folly at the same time. i'm not going to blame ppl for their own poverty bc i have a brain in my skull

even cruelty against ppl you believe are wrong. they do not deserve to live in trailers w/o heat, to die decades early of cancer, even if every last person in the whole region was evil, they would not deserve that. it would not make them less evil (as evidenced by how decades of this rhetoric

babe: i was raised by violent trump supporters, i lived with crooked cop who beat my mother. i know appalachia can harbor evil. i am no fool. i just recognize that scarcity causes pain, and the solution here is not to punish people but to extend a hand. there is no excuse for cruelty.

also the battle of blair mountain was the largest labor uprising in US history and WV had to declare martial law. it's a little embarrassing you didn't know what i was talking about man. that degree not serving you too well huh

i was beat by my trump supporting parents, and i still refuse to find them inhuman because i have actual principles about the value of human life. i never said they were right. i said they deserved mercy & respect. scarcity causes violence & the solution will always be: provide.

and if i am capable of having compassion for a region that, in its suffering, causes suffering, then what is your excuse mr. illinois? perhaps wanting to find others inhuman to make your world easier to understand is inherently, hm, bad. but what does a hillbilly know?
comment in response to
post
someone sounds a little peeved it was rightfully pointed out they were using fascist rhetoric to say victims of extreme poverty deserve it. i don't think anyone deserves suffering and i have undoubtedly suffered more at the hands of appalachia than you ever will

i have no idea how you drew that conclusion from what i said & it is weird that you would draw it. i said appalachia's not a monolith and is not defined by someone in illinois lol. these things are known as true
comment in response to
post
i am also appalachian. my point is that people aren't monoliths and and inherently deserving of the mercy of being understood. deny yourself that at your own risk
comment in response to
post
which, yeah, is a fucking privilege in appalachia, you just wouldn't know that because which of you dumb fucks has even driven through matoaka WV? have you watched ppl crawl over rubble that is decades old? you oughta rather die before you shame these people from YOUR position. find mercy or else

my home is all shantytowns now and i had lost generations of my family and friends to the opioid crisis before the rest of the nation was brave enough to even put a name to the devil. you say this shit to ppl using pine needles as insulation while you enjoy the privilege of internet access
comment in response to
post
their trailers with pine needles for their material conditions is exactly what trump WANTS you to do, considering you sound like a JD vance clone. if you don't like the fascists maybe don't repeat their talking points, it makes you look like a bit of a loser
comment in response to
post
if you don't know enough to know why appalachia went red, that's just ignorance on your part and it will cost you. the US govt abandoned us decades ago, and i'm sorry that you don't like your first taste of what that was like for us, but it started here. i think blaming the ppl stuffing
comment in response to

i liked your account but this is an opinion worth instantly unfollowing you for. i had family die on blair mountain and they didn't die for so called progressives to fail to understand what appalachia has been punished for, which was waging war for labor rights.

oh my god you still don't get it this is hilarious. men are literally so bad at listening you can tell them you're baiting them and they'll still bite. you are, sincerely, one of the least alive living creatures i have ever met. and all it takes is a joke about dick size. the bar is low

also lol. 'BLM myth.' racists are easy to trick into saying more racist shit, just keep handing them rope (you can even tell them you're doing this and they'll still play along, apparently!)
comment in response to

you still have not realized, despite being directly told, that i'm responding to call you a loser cunt, specifically bc you'll let me insult you as much as i want just to have the final word. your ego literally will not let you read my words. you wouldn't pass the mirror self-awareness test tiny tim
comment in response to
post
i had an argument, you just kinda refused to read it and announced victory. small dick energy really. now i'm just seeing how desperate you are to save face - how many times do i get to insult you before you give up? how do you not have more of a life, man? even i enjoyed my saturday lmao

i am intentionally pissing you off because i think you're a dolt, but you're so much of a dolt you seem to have not realized what i'm doing. that's why i'm not listening to you: you're stupid.

my guy in order for you to successfully convince me of anything you'd have to prove you're worthy of respect. you don't know what you're refusing to read even is. you have not demonstrated the capability to understand a tweet. i am STILL fucking with you. this is a sign. a neon sign.
comment in response to
post
no, yeah, your arguments and sources are unconvincing. i have multiple books on my shelf about police brutality, meanwhile you think it's just a tweet war and a swift debunk. no, your world is far more complicated than that, you sad little thing.
comment in response to
post
while actively telling you that you can't change my mind no matter what you say. you tried anyway, because you didn't read. i told you i'd bait you until you gave up, and you're still going because your brain hasn't even processed that i'm fucking with you. you're lit too far up your own ass to talk
comment in response to
post
i characterize only offering one source and then refusing to engage with any other information you're offered as tokenism, yeah. you don't care about learning, or intelligence, you care about being right. you have such poor reading comprehension that i have lead you on this conversation for 12 hours

white people have been pointing to their One Good Black Person since they found africa, you nerd. no matter how you try to qualify this man as more important than any other black scholar simply bc he agrees with you, the more embarrassing this gets for you. keep going it's made my day
comment in response to
post
"one black guy said i was right, so no one else has ever studied this subject and contradicted its findings ever" your tokenism is showing, mr. currently using 'raised in the ghetto' to qualify a man as more black and therefore more qualified to speak on the subject of race than others.

and i can't speak to whether those exist or are accessible on the modern internet. i hope you find a solution that values your own creativity & others as well, but this is v different from what i was harping on so i'm sorry for going off!

hi, sorry i missed this! that actually makes a lot of sense. i was thinking on the prose side of creative projects lol. generated stuff like maps/prompts makes a lot of sense in that use. i would say a DND prompt generator would be helpful, but this isn't my nerd scene 🧵

so you expect me to watch your evidence when you refused to engage with mine? men are adorable, they really can't handle getting told they're wrong about something they refuse to educate themselves on or listen to anyone else about. keep trying, pipsqueak, i love watching you squirm
comment in response to
post
why is evidence that cops abuse their power over the public irrelevant to a conversation about cops abusing their power? systemic problems are, in fact, systemic. why do you think cop violence is a singularity? turned on the news recently there, bud?

like, you did just insist a show that has won 67 awards and been nominated for 151 isn't reliable, as opposed to your youtube channel. you have more arrogance than napoleon and that mf actually did work. you can't even convince ME you're right
comment in response to
post
i had an argument, it's just that your response to it was "i REFUSE to READ" and then you sent an obviously propagandized source instead. idk if you realize what i'm doing, but you realize i've been handing you a length of rope this whole time? you're embarrassing yourself in public
comment in response to
post
you sent a redacted report from the city in question because you think cities admit that the death of black people is the goal of the system. you make yourself an easy target, bud. if you didn't want to be called a loser you shouldn't publicly admit that you have no idea how to read a source
