Even though this is true for like 90% of my thinking (that I can see when I try), so far I’m concinced this ist because I am a predominantly language-and-normal-grammar-rules thinker.

There are people that mostly think via associations of words that don’t have to be formulated/ cast into grammar.

And then there supposedly people mainly thinking in pictures or smth, without words.

Anyways for some people rubber duck mode reoresents a change in thinking method, I think

I see the comic as an attempt to translate the existential stress a dog “feels” to the human experience, especially it’s intensity. Because even with no language, no consciousness as humans have it, dogs do experience intensity you could measure in cortisol levels, heartbeat, eye movement etc.

The comic is useful for those who are interested in translating that to human experience. A communicative form that works well is narrative framing. It gives your empathy a correspondant in your conscious thinking.

Someone discovered the dialectic of individual and society

I was gonna add “these days” but didn’t

I get the epic of marking climate change as a general human issue by doing stonehenge. Doing, let’s say, the wall street bulls statue or smth in London marking climate change as a capital issue would have been smarter thou

Looks more like a few hours of cramping body and soul followed by 3 days of emotional hangover

It is not. If it was consensual it might be. If it’s real it’s not.

Surpressing your empathy in face of dire news is your right. We all have to in order to psychologically survive these times.

I think you shouldn’t act out that surpression as a funny joke in public. This adds to the brutalization of the public, wich we can’t really afford in these times, if we want them to become more human, more bearable

Paywall at the real article… Why would they?

And they live in a filmstudio white house in one continious sitcom and voting is replaced by how many stars you give each episode. A commission of reaction-video-youtubers intetpret the episode to forge the ratings into political policy making

Okay on second thought I wanna take back that warriors comment, that was too bitchy. Guess I’m also not uneffected by how toxic the whole discourse on Israel (also in or between lefty communities) is.

Like, everyone seems to feel they’d have to be either “pro israel” or “pro palestine”, wich imo 1. Is freaking dangerous for germans specifically 2. Doesn’t recognize the complexity (in the sense of one can’t just identify the totality of Israel with its right wing government as ome can’t just identify palestine with hamas.) 3. It tends to overlook the perspective of both israelian and palestinian lefties

No, see response in other comment

Ok wow. First, thanks to everyone who have their estimates. Appreciated. And for everyone else and the warriors of downvoting: No I was not trolling abd not it’s not THAT unilkely for it to be lefties (yes okay anarchists and tankies I mostly said as exmples so you know what I’m trying to ask)

If you are interested: there is a german lefty flavor called Antideutsche (anti-german). They are Zionists, antifas, anticapitalist, have a thing for violence (stylizing “bomber harris” for example), say weird thing like “protecting ur environment is like protecting your ‘home country’ like nazis would” and sometimes think of whoever basically as if they were nazis.

I’m not making this up, lefties go weird ways sometimes.

Edit readibility

Does anyone know what political stance(s) the attacking crowd is made of?

Like, also lefties? Tankies, anarchists? Or like MAGAs?

Yeah lets get some social science running in this b**** Ü Perspective this techie fest (<3) could use some of
