"this is not my fault because I didn't vote" is among the stupidest takes you can have in a democracy.

I think my patience for people who wanna say radical things that have no hope of ever accomplishing anything and don't serve to do anything but signal they are the maddest angriest has done dried up

So last night my first search on the internet on my new computer was about this, and I found some interesting things.

Ultimately, the results of Rothschild and Keefer's five studies were "consistent with recent research showing that outgroup-directed moral outrage can be elicited in response to perceived threats to the ingroup's moral status," write the authors. The findings also suggest that "outrage driven by moral identity concerns serves to compensate for the threat of personal or collective immorality" and the cognitive dissonance that it might elicit, and expose a "link between guilt and self-serving expressions of outrage that reflect a kind of 'moral hypocrisy,' or at least a non-moral form of anger with a moral facade."
The crucial findings about moral outrage, however, show that it has an emotion-regulating effect. It was demonstrated that moral outrage alleviates guilt and buffers threats to one’s moral identity. Moral outrage is a very good thing if you are insecure about your own moral standings. It reassures you that you are not in the wrong — you couldn't possibly be as you are doing the right thing with your moral outrage. This is a reason to be a bit suspicious of anyone whose moral outrage is too visible. Either they are just faking it for publicity reasons or if they are not, this shows that there are some moral cracks here that they try to cover up with moral outrage.

The old wisdom is usually rooted in something real, and yeah, it's probably usually true that the loudest most outraged screamers are the ones projecting and scapegoating others for their own stuff that they're in denial about.

I won't lie. Things are bleak.

But eating is still important, its the foundation to any kind of resistance and I am not even kidding.

I will try to be more active on here if people could send their recipies.

One quiet day on the farm, the Little Red Hen found some wheat seeds and decided to make bread.

"Who will help me plant these seeds?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"I would." said the Horse "But I'm a workhorse, and I'm too busy moving carts around."

And so the Little Red Hen planted the seeds by herself. And they grew into bountiful golden crops.

"Who will help me harvest the wheat?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"I would." said the Dog "But I'm a guarddog, and I'm too busy keeping away burglars and predators."

And so the Little Red Hen harvested the wheat herself and made it into flour.

"Who will help me bake the flour?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"I would." said the Pig "But I'm a mother of 5 newborn piglets, and I'm too busy taking care of my young."

And so the Little Red Hen baked the bread herself into twenty beautiful loaves.

"Who will help me eat the bread?" the Little Red Hen asked.

"We would." said the Farm Animals. "But we're ashamed, for we didn't do anything to make the bread."

"Nonsense!" said the Little Red Hen. "You, Horse, helped move around the stones that built my oven. You, Dog, kept me safe while I worked. And you, Pig, are raising a new generation of Farm Animals, who will too contribute to our Farm one day. You've all helped me so much by simply being you."

"Besides," the Little Red Hen added. "I couldn't possibly eat all the loaves on my own, most of them would go to waste. Come, eat with me."

And so the Little Red Hen and the Farm Animals ate the bread together. And all saw their own, and each other's, worth.

better

This healed a very old wound

One of my under-used pipe abilities is to canonize people. I should make some saints.

I was making it before you did, it just took a bit to find the generator. Sorry~

Mario is a saint now because you made fun of me. Happy now?!

I'd make toad a saint too but I'm only God's representative on Earth, I have no authority over fungi.

Nobody has authority over fungi tbh.

HEY
