In his latest book, Peterson writes that there's "no shortage of oppressors among the downtrodden." This is part of a broader ideology shared with the right-wing that says: Don't help someone in need, they might be trying to scam you. It's victim-blaming as ideology.

Racism is "the state-sanctioned and/or extra-legal production and exploitation of group-differentiated vulnerability to premature death."

- Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Golden Gulag: Prisons, Surplus, Crisis, and Opposition in Globalizing California (Berkeley: University of California Press, 2006), 28.

Racism is NOT:

- being mean to white people

This is your friendly reminder that you don't have to put up with people's asinine bigoted horseshit, under the guise of a more open culture on here.

If anything, people putting their foot down about that sort of thing *is exactly why* this place is more open and welcoming, including towards people who gravitate towards the edges of what said acceptance will tolerate.

"Government name" is a much more accurate term than "real name" IMO.

An underrated aspect of depression is that, if you have good days and bad days, your bad days just eat into your good days. Like you just generate this labor deficit for yourself and end up spending your "good" productive time doing dishes and cleaning up after yourself. For people who have their depression in a manageable place, that's something you deal with. But for people just getting out of a deep depression it highlights how many different layers of support you really need to get there.
