I don't need to insist that the Snark I found in the lists was endogenous to the list/list-maker... only the list-maker could now that for sure and might variously "own the snark" or "deny the snark" or if your imputation is more accurate simply be "vacant of snark". > To look at our victims as full-blown humans gets in the way of our progress.
I don't know if Nietzsche said that first but it does seem like it could be a paraphrase of one of his nihilistic piths. I am inspired by the anti-Othering movement, it serves my own recovery/respite from a lifetime of participating in zero-sum victim/victor games as offered by our popular culture as (sometimes? or am I imputing again?)
