  • What about that picture indicates she’s disabled? Why say something that is solely to point out some random persons perceived flaws? How did you think anything you’ve written in these comments was pertinent/contributed to anything? The fact that you thought you were being either racist or ableist with your comments and decided to post them anyway is mind boggling




  • Pacifism is an ideology centered on political change through nonviolence. Maybe you didn’t explicitly say it, but you might as well have. Can you provide a source on violence being a result of political breakdown and not intrinsic to politics itself? How do current regimes uphold their power?

    Politics is, more or less, how decisions are made in groups. Making a decision doesn’t preclude violence. Wars are political and their entire point is violence. Colonialism was foundational to the politics of the last 3+ centuries and it was incredibly violent. Besides vibes, what evidence do you have to support the claim that politics aren’t violent?













  • Assuming that this is the only manifestation of this sort of behavior, sure. It could be a dry sense of humor playing off of taking common turns of speech literally. But he’s been repeatedly shown to be a wholly unpleasant, needlessly pedantic asshole with a superiority complex in his public and personal life. Peoples intolerance of his tweets aren’t only informed by those tweets, they’re also shaped by years of insufferable drivel coming out of his mouth, said seriously and with intent.

    I love dry humor and wordplay. This isn’t either of those things. He actually thinks people are that stupid and need a lesson on leap years. His reason is as follows: I’m Neil Degrasse Tyson and I’m better than everyone. People don’t know what I know and I’m going to bless them with my genius in 180 characters or less. Please clap.

    I’m not trying to be rude but you’re embarrassing yourself. Please educate yourself of political theory, philosophy and terminology before you start speaking on words and concepts that you clearly don’t understand. Here’s a good place to start. He makes great political theory videos. Here’s a playlist geared specifically towards liberalism. Here’s something on anti-fascism. All of those resources aren’t the end-all-be-all of politics but they’re at least a good place to start and you’ll be better off for it. Have a good one
