whining about reading plato and aristotle is like a boring move but have you considered that it sucks.

if somebody you knew for a year said "listen. im just gonna be honest here. i know ive known you too long to not know your name. but i simply do not. i dont know how this happened. im reasonably confident you told me your name at some point. could you remind me please" how would you react
#i would probably be slightly baffled. but i wouldn't mind really as long as it was someone who was otherwise polite.#sometimes it's polite to occasionally refer to yourself in the third person just to avoid this precise situation.

I often find myself wanting to reblog a political post just because it got me fired up about something I think is important...only to realize a bit later that I don't think it was necessarily very helpful. Or, I might pass by a post that felt a bit dry, only to realize later that it was a useful resource I might want later.
So, here are some questions I ask myself before I share a political post:
What is the post trying to get me to do? Does it suggest an action I could take (including stopping doing something)? Do I intend to take that action or want to encourage others to do the same? If a large number of people do this action, what effect would it have? (Think of many small donations helping a fundraiser reach a goal, or a large number of users sending hateful messages to a single person who said something slightly stupid.)
Who is this post for? Am I in the OP's intended audience? Are my followers part of the intended audience?
If there are links in the post, am I going to click them to see where they go? Do I trust the website or author the OP is linking to?
How does the post make me feel? Do I think this is intentional (like someone encouraging me to be hopeful, or trying to make me mad at a certain group) or unintentional (like a complaint about a personal issue that resonated with enough people to go viral)?
Does this post primarily make me feel ashamed and hopeless? If so, do I want my followers to feel the same?
Do I feel like I "have" to reblog this? What would happen if I didn't? What would happen if I did? Does it feel urgent, and if so, do I know why?
If you found this post condescending or felt like I was judging you, I would encourage you to not share it. Or do -- it's your decision!

do you guys care about deradicalization/understanding the mechanisms by which people are vulnerable to radicalization. or do you not care about those things.

it's impossible so you have to start an argument every single time. sadly

i really really really really really really really wish there was an academic term for -- you know how the technical, academic term for the Torah is 'Hebrew Bible' so you don't have to call it either the Torah or the Old Testament and proclaim your own religious beliefs in your academic writing? i wish there was one of those for the New Testament soooo bad.
