    Attacking capitalism is coddling their perspective by validating that they are getting hurt instead of descending into “shush your fault for being you” territory. I was just playing a semantic gotcha game at that point.

      at least you can admit it.

      As for the difference, I wouldn’t call validating the perspective that capitalism is fucking us ‘coddling’ soley because of the fact that I think it’s true and actionable

      As opposed to the fictions being presented by PUAs that women are meant to be dominated, which I obviously find untrue thus the term ‘coddling’.

      Shame we’re fighting each other instead of the rich, is my point.

        What’s more revolutionary: Swimming against the stream, or getting out of the water?

            It isn’t context-dependent. Try to make it such, meaning look for it in a particular place, and all you’ll see is ocean from horizon to horizon. Land appears as opportunity dictates in the moment, be ready to see it, seize a beachhead without thought, without intention or doubt. Then decide whether you like the local cuisine.

            …and yes I may be 100% in martial arts teacher mode now, my apologies, I know it can be annoying. Have some Bruce Lee.
