Thanks for asking and being thoughtful comrade, I really appreciate you being supportive and sensitive <3
I think brainworms is fine, because to me the brainworms are little thought traps planted by propaganda
That's a great way to think about it! Also made me think of how it's similar to switching to they/them as default pronouns, because means I'm much less likely to cause someone harm by accident, and I think that alone makes it worth the effort since there's no downsides.
As with the former, I just think it's more helpful and practical to target the specifics of why the idea is bad, lets us get useful analysis out of even piss poor ideas
I'd say it's probably better than the alternative, but I think focusing on why the actions themselves were bad or flawed is more useful, especially when it comes to yourself. Makes it easier to find the root of the problem and come up with solutions to improve :)
Totally fair haha, I'm probably being oversensitive at this point because of how some people are reacting to this post. Sorry <3
Not a great time for a joke like that comrade, it's honestly pretty hurtful and diminishing
I know its an obvious joke, but for real, trying to have a difficult conversation
