Poor gilis never gets anyones love. Anarchists agree on nothing but that gilis is mediocre to bad. Which I truly don't envy. Tho gilis I will temporarily put u in my top 5 if u release "rejecting transhumanism, a gilis guide to returning to monke".

interesing conversation for the totw. always better when the speakers disagree with each other a little, like here, at leat at the end.

one of the answers to the question that they get to , is that it's more worth arguing to change people's language when it means opening up an idea, than it is when it's trying to shut down an idea. and of course context is important. so the specificity of DD's context was useful to hear. definitely agree with chacha's point that using less common words can be the right call, depending.

but the point of calling someone aggressor is precisely to make the responsibility clear. "the situation" is structural--which is an important point, but not always the right call. sometimes you want people to address a person, sometimes you want people to focus on the system. both can be appropriate, depending.
