  • You may not believe it, but most of our behavior is motivated by sex and appealing to our desired mates. Even if you rationally say you don’t want to pick up anyone with your rainbow hat, the original impetus to do it at all comes from a biological mind that is designed to reproduce. Being confident in who you are is a desirable trait in a partner, thus making you more attractive, thus contributing to your biological goal of reproduction. Yes, you have more rational reasons for it than just that, but it’s extremely likely that the wearing of the rainbow hat feels good to you because of million years of evolution to optimize reproductive success.

    And yes, even homosexual people are subject to that, even though they technically can’t reproduce. Which I think is pretty funny honestly xD

    It’s also interesting that you bring all the heterosexual signals up as some kind of counterpoint… but they serve the same goal.





  • It’s naive to think the US is a democracy. It’s mostly an oligarchy with a few democratic features. The only choice is to vote Harris, but she is only barely less right-wing than Trump, from a European perspective. She will continue the oligarchy.

    The only hope there is, is that all the people in the US start to understand they don’t have a democracy. The vote for D needs to become overwhelming. Then, R will die out and an alternative choice on the further left side may emerge as a serious contender. Then, this further left choice needs to become overwhelming.

    Eventually, this will lead to real change.

    Why this must work like this is because the US’ democratic system only supports 2 parties with its first-past-the-post system. Until a reform of this voting system takes place, towards a ranked choice style system, there can’t be good representation. While any organization into a limited number of parties inherently means that almost no one will be represented perfectly, the less parties there are, the more the average divergence of reprentation there will be. 2 is just an unbelievably small number of opinion groupings to choose from, much too little to get anywhere near good representation.














  • I think you attribute more intelligence/planning behavior to Trump than he actually possesses. He’s an individual solely driven by his personal gain, and there’s not a lot to be gained for him by ending (the limited) democracy of the US, it’s too hard and dangerous. He might give some favors to people that actually have this plan (as I already said), thus essentially “wanting” to end democracy because he gives people that want to end democracy favors so he gets what he wants, but I don’t think that he actually cares about this goal at all.
