Completely oblivious to the circumstances that gifted them their lives

I think it's wilful ignorance, at least sometimes. They know they succeed because of taxes paid by previous humans, they just don't want to contribute themselves.

We can’t beat up the Nazis when the cops are already there protecting them, it’s insane that we’ve gotten to this point

Cops were always out there protecting reactionary politics.

"It's a tiger, you brainless invertebrate."

This level of discourse is probably beyond most political debates.

You assume everyone has a perfect understanding of themselves

The 'understanding' of gender is appreciating how gender is socially constructed. That requires observation of society, hence revealing of new information, hence a journey of understanding.

Your own gender is an experience, one that is even present (although not labelled) without the social norms. It's what you experience as what you want to be and do. It would exist without the social construction of gender. You could prefer certain colours and certain toys regardless of what society says is 'right' or 'wrong' for your external genitalia and designation on a birth certificate. I have known what society thinks about gender is not important to me since I first saw gender norms in the real world. I found the whole concept ridiculous. I've known that I am treated as male for having a penis, but am actually not interested in gender, since before I discovered terms like non-binary.

Someone saying that "you need to watch Gordon Ramsay says about cooking before you know what food you like" is ridiculous. You've had experiences and you prefer some of them without Gordon Ramsay. He doesn't even need to exist.

Someone saying "you realise your gender preferences by being mocked for your micropenis" is being similarly ridiculous. Gender does not equate to external genitalia.

It's not a 'perfect understanding'. It's 'having experiences', which everyone does.

When I was young I was interested in other men, and frankly, quite disgusted by it. It’s the habitat I was raised in and if you’d asked me back then, I’d have told you it was because I was a sinner. The real reason as I came to discover was indeed that I’m just gay. It took a lot of steps and discovery to get there.

You did have an understanding of yourself. That was scared out of you by threats. You didn't discover that you were gay - you just knew it, because it was a feature of your experience - you discovered that other people were wrong when they told you that was disgusting.

I suggest working on your emotional issues before committing to another relationship. They might be more complex than you imagine. You might think you are depressed, for example, when in reality this is a symptom of being neurodivergent. Accepting yourself for who you are, right now, is necessary, and that requires knowing yourself.

Everyone is equally inferior.

"The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

He will struggle to ask the infinite staff of the infinite hotel to move infinite occupants into another set of infinite rooms. After all:

It is also possible to accommodate a countably infinite number of new guests: just move the person occupying room 1 to room 2, the guest occupying room 2 to room 4, and, in general, the guest occupying room n to room 2n (2 times n), and all the odd-numbered rooms (which are countably infinite) will be free for the new guests.

Even if Sisyphus is infinite and the boulder is infinite, they can be accommodated within an infinite space.

Hilbert's paradox is a veridical paradox: it leads to a counter-intuitive result that is provably true. The statements "there is a guest to every room" and "no more guests can be accommodated" are not equivalent when there are infinitely many rooms.

This struggle will, according to Camus, provide some meagre happiness to offset the fact he's stuck in a stupid, made up, unrealistic trolley problem; one which serves only to trap people within consequentialist moral thought as if that is the only ingredient for a moral decision, ignoring all other bases for moral decisions.

Nah, you’re supposed to take them seriously

I do take them seriously, that's why I call for them to be shot into space.

All humans are made from replicating cells.

I got some pinball tables to play pinball with a small ball that may or may not hit pins that may or may not be inserted in a table, hence pinball table.

I think the greentext shouldn't have killed Kenny.

It's good to read the greentext so you can have an opinion on the opinions expressed about the opinions within the greentext.
