Chauvinism

Unpopular opinion : "punish everyone who offends a religion" <- this is a protocol for settling playground disputes.

Everyone who becomes emotionally disregulated as a result of someone else's speech lives in a sort of disabled space ... and what we are condoning as a society, is the normalisation of disability, and mitigations for it, instead of focusing on how to enable the population to be emotionally regulated.

I grew up in this society expecting to go to jail for this lol

Probably why I will never fit into Malaysian society haha.

It's like living in 28 days later. Every day you kinda just wander out and try to figure out how to interact with the infected.

Some will say "you should leave Malaysia". I think, we are all here as pendakwah. It's just that tujuan dakwah kita semua berbeza.

On the topic of chauvinism : being a pendakwah of any sort implies you are a chauvinist. It's material implication :P 

on activism

So a Malaysian minister has directed the executive branch to replace any copy of "LGBT" with the copy "deviant culture". The policy device is well known on earth, and the policy direction is well known to Malaysians : and now they come together. 

Setting aside discussion about how likely the policy is to achieve its ends, my thoughts go to the activists in Malaysia's LGBT community. In the past I have found that some of them assert appeals "from empathy", but I believe that approach is strategically ineffective. 

The nature of pain is that it is subjective. Everyone can claim to be in pain, whether it is actually true or false. So it is an appeal which leaves all parties back where they start, in a state of equal competition. 

If activists for, and against, a cause, are to make progress, each in their opposing directions, they must appeal to material arguments. It is no good to yell and hope the other party will change their mind. As already stated, appeals to empathy fall under this category of argument. Each party must be familiar with material devices of law, politics, economy, technology, and physics.

Only materially informed arguments have any strategic advantage.

Guilty Malaysians

Hohoho ... look at all you idiots. Now that the footbook case is "resolved", I will venture a risque comment

1. Original perp OP : did thing T1, then posted a photo of it in public, T2

2. Eeeeeveryone who "reposted" T2 is guilty of T2 also

Discussion :

2a. Motivation, to publicise knowledge of T2? It was not necessary to repeat T2

2b. Motivation, to shock people to inflict punitive action on OP? Now you are guilty of vengeance T3 ( hey, maybe your code says T3 is a positive attitude )
