It amazes me how some people are so obsessed over their earthly bodies and will spend tons of money (the exploitation of the labor of the lesser fortunate) to use technology to sculpt and carve their body to make it look a certain way.
and then you have other people who straight up do not give a fuck about their earthly bodies (or their existence for that matter) and will burn themselves alive, having their eyeballs melt into their skull and their skin disintegrate, all to protest against the bombing of children.

When people refer to Obama as the 1st black U.S. president as opposed to the 44th (43rd) U.S. president, that really gets under my skin.

this was from a few years ago but I asked my grandmother the following proposition on the phone:
if there was an organization with 99 white people that had an opening, and two applicants were applying to join the organization, one is white and the other is non-white. Both of them have equal credentials and equal qualifications.
How should the organization go about choosing which applicant they should accept?
She responded "the non-white applicant should be the one who gets accepted"
(the correct answer is that the two applicants should pull straws to see who gets accepted)
I replied "why"
she said "because the organization already had 99 white people in it."
I replied "but why does that matter? why should skin color (the earthly body) matter? why should the candidate who happens to be white be punished for something he could not control?"
she replied something to the effect of past racism to which I replied:
"so because of the sins of people of YOUR generation, you are to punish somebody who was not even alive back then? how is that fair?
I asked her that same question a year later and she replied basically to the effect of "they should pull straws to see"
What amazes me is that this person is almost 90 years old (and is very much still mentally present unlike Joe Biden) and yet she flip flops on these ethical hypotheticals. Idk, she is a huge progressive but it just blows my mind how a progressive can support race-based discrimination.
I have no problem with affirmative action if it helps people from low income backgrounds or if it prevents legacies from going to the same university that their parents went to, but I do have a problem with it when it is designed to be race based instead of class based.
