Please don't lie like that here. There are other places on the internet for that.

[wruza → wredcoll]

Opinions can’t be lies, and from what the internet tries to sneak into my feeds, this resonates pretty well (I mostly get it from the gamers perspective). Ignoring this or calling it a lie creates a tension that no amount of actual good will can overcome.

There’s no need for good will.

If I have to break into the difference between disingenuous, malign, and wrong, I’m going to waste time and calories on a rhetorical approach aimed at wasting time and calories.

Would you like to be the recipient of good will, or is there no need?

[intended → card_zero]

I have often not been the recipient of good will.

I have then proceeded to earn it, and if necessary through the upliftment of myself and those would hate me.

And I’ve also given good will to those who wish to abuse it.

I’ve learned that for them, my good will was not what they needed.

They needed me to connect with their actual pain, and they operate on “respect me.”

Goodwill is a value, which is meant to uphold a better society.

If goodwill is not what’s needed to develop good faith, then it’s in the way of building a better society.

Today, the currency is attention. Goodwill is abused, so it should be used more sparingly.

If the other part of society respects respect, and respects strength, then that is what needs to be provided for them to have faith in your words.

Possible missing words in line 5: "and they operate on respect me"?

I think I can parse that as and they operate on the concept of "respect me". Took me a while.

[intended → card_zero]

Thank you. I think yours is actually more insightful than what I remember writing “they operate on respect”

“Respect me” is more insightful.

You don't have to, have a nice one. Your comment is already over my quarterly limit of being assumed and interpreted.

>Opinions can’t be lies

But, they can be based on false info or deliberately misleading reasoning, or stated in bad faith with the intent to deceive.

Biden literally went to the supreme court to keep it legal to discriminate like that: https://affirmativeactiondebate.wordpress.com/2021/12/01/dec...

Biden also got smacked down repeatedly by courts for racially discriminatory programs: https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/court-rules-biden-admin-di..., https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-race-based-aid-farmer...

All that is consistent with Ibram Kendi thought: “The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination.”

Don’t accuse me of “lying” because I won’t use your preferred euphemisms and framing.

What's it called when you stole something from someone yesterday, then claim yourself the victim when they ask for it back today, because you already gave it to your kid?

[intended → unclebucknasty]

I propose moronism.

So...is Trump banning transgender individuals from joining the military and kicking existing serving members 'woke' then according to your definition?
