Discord has a group chat feature and drag doesn’t really use it. It’s not what drag wants. Drag wants rooms with many chats inside. Permissions, topics, threads. A sorted hierarchy of chats with a sense of place.

It’s missing a field for multi-chat rooms.

Drag isn’t a dragon. Do you think you’ve seen a comment where drag says drag is a dragon? Please share it.

Karl Marx was influenced in his writings on communism by Lewis Henry Morgan, an American who had been studying (badly) the Haudenosaunee. Marx mentions Morgan and the Haudenosaunee as inspirations for his theories. No history of European communism is complete without mentioning indigenous communists, who actually succeeded.

@gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works and @Slikki@lemmy.blahaj.zone

What’s your criticism of first nations communism?

the point of small talk is to open avenues of conversation

If you’re married to someone, all avenues of conversation should be open the minute you’ve both said hi. If you need to talk about the weather before you decide what to get for dinner, with your spouse, then your marriage is a failure.

Try getting married to a dragon, they don’t care about small talk

You’ve lived a sheltered life without meeting many otherkin until now. Now you know better.

Hells yeah!

Drag made a mistake in the prior comment. Lemmy actually has two users who are spaceships. Drag visited the community and was reminded of Slikki. But the ship drag was thinking of before is Gravitas Deficiency.

Drag’s biological father is a witch. Drag forged drag’s own path, and isn’t a witch, but occultism runs in drag’s family. Instead of a witch, drag became a dragon rider, and the occult side of drag’s family accepts that. The otherkin community isn’t the same as the furry community. Drag would like to reiterate drag’s offer to introduce you to some otherkin spaces. There are even otherkin on Lemmy. One Lemmy user is a spaceship. You should visit !transspecies@lemmy.blahaj.zone.

You are denying science.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delusional_disorder

The DSM-IV and psychologists agree that personal beliefs should be evaluated with great respect to cultural and religious differences, as some cultures have normalized beliefs that may be considered delusional in other cultures.[15]

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9599-delusional-disorder

A delusion is an unshakable belief in something that’s untrue. The belief isn’t a part of the person’s culture or subculture, and almost everyone else knows this belief to be false.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK539855/

A delusion is a fixed false belief based on an inaccurate interpretation of an external reality despite evidence to the contrary. The belief is not congruent with one’s culture or subculture, and almost everyone else knows it to be false.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/au/conditions/delusional-disorder

Delusions are fixed beliefs that do not change, even when a person is presented with conflicting evidence. Delusions are considered “bizarre” if they are clearly implausible and peers within the same culture cannot understand them.

You can’t appeal to being “realistic” while you deny science by calling cultural beliefs delusions. You are denying science. Drag has explained the science to you. If leftism is going to do what you say, it will have to leave science behind. And that’s wrong.

Drag’s dragon doesn’t identify as male, and wouldn’t like being called a bro. Drag thinks you called a nonbinary person a “bro” for the same reason you don’t respect its species identity - you’re a conservative. You don’t get to have any input on leftist ideas until you stop misgendering trans people.

Delusions are false ideas or beliefs that someone holds onto, even when there is evidence that they are not real. These beliefs are not shared by other people from the same:

• cultural background
• religion
• social group

Not a delusion. Believing in dragons is completely normal in drag’s cultural background, religion, and social group. If you like, drag can refer you to a few discord servers for dragonkin - otherkin who identify as dragons. Drag can also introduce you to @HonouraryDragon@lemmy.nz, drag’s fiance and dragon.

The alternative to respecting cultural beliefs is cultural intolerance. You’re arguing for cultural intolerance to be part of the ethics of the left. Drag thinks that’s gross.

They make drag feel like a dragon rider, and they expand your mind so you’ll be more tolerant of the next neopronoun user you meet. What you’re calling confusion might, drag thinks, be the feeling of learning something. Drag hopes you can come to enjoy it.

Are you using plastic-eating as a way to call drag dumb without breaking the instance rule about civility?

Lemmy users don’t think otherkin are valid

Drag knows a lot of nonhumans and decided to choose a first person pronoun for a dragon rider. After all, dragon riders aren’t entirely human. The magical bond changes us. And a dragon rider is no longer a single individual. Not in battle, not in soul. Drag is soulbound.
