I'd love that. I think it demands a crushing and undeniable victory in the culture war, though, and I'm not sure how to get there from here.
It's been many years since the strong have been expected to serve the weak. Just defeating the front line of sjws won't be enough; we need a resurgence in counter ideas like meritocracy. Even if we could magically round up all the bad actors and evict them, we need the foundation to resist when they pop up again next time.
A lot of it has been taught by example, so otherwise intelligent and adaptive citizens grow to learn a strategy for success that matches those examples. Why gain knowledge or build skills when you can just file frivolous lawsuits all day to cash in on settlements?
Not to say we shouldn’t be compassionate to people who actually suffer but I see (especially among the youth) that there is this contest over who can be the most oppressed. And like you said it’s mind boggling to see the very wealthy cry about oppression.
I remember Gilbert Godfrey once said that some people feel a sense of moral superiority by being offended.
I don't think you realize quite how much power they have. Ignoring it would be suicide. You can't "man up" against the level of control we're talking about here.
I'm talking about the kind of consequences that could cripple a Fortune 500 company, but you think an individual can handle them?
I'm just going to take a random company as an example of what they can do.
Let's say that my undeserved support of Epic gets me a job there and I become CEO. I am now backed by billions of dollars of CCP cash.
One problem. Mastercard instantly deplatforms all payments to Epic because of "misogyny" as they did to Pornhub. This causes Microsoft and Soyny to instantly pull all Epic properties out of fear of the same happening to them.
This is then followed up by both Apple and Google taking down Epic applications. (as actually happened in real life.)
Epic now has no way to get money from their players and is bleeding cash.
You can't sell shares publicly to get out of this situation, because the NASDAQ deplatforms companies that don't abide by the feminist agenda.
Now tell me I'm playing the fucking victim, when no company can handle the consequences they can bring.
I don't think you realize quite how much power they have.
Coming from the guy who bet that the Minnesota cop would not have her name revealed because THEEEEEY would not "throw one of their own under the bus", and when that turned out to be wrong, bet that she would not be charged because THEEEEY are too powerful.

Substantiate your claim that this was the reason why Mastercard deplatformed Pornhub. You've already been caught BS'ing about that.
Now tell me I'm playing the fucking victim
Yes, you are playing the victim. Your hare-brained claims about THEEEEM trying to kill you will be a testimony to that. The fact that the elites are corrupt, criminal morons should not be a surprise to anyone. We should fight against that without your appalling victim act.
when no company can handle the consequences they can bring.
Who are 'they'?
You don't realize how deep in shit we are.
Says the guy who claimed that the virus was "created by women" to kill men, and then claimed that the AstraZeneca virus was "created by women" to kill men, and then bet $10 that women would be given an exemption from getting the vaccine, and then that people receiving the Pfizer vaccine would secretly be administered the AstraZeneca vaccine to kill them.
How's that going, by the way? Now that 60% of the British population has received the vaccine, should we expect The Genocide to commence at any moment?
So you're saying we must punch the bitches instead? I dunno if that's the right course, but I'm willing to try it on your suggestion, fearless leader and guru of manliness Sir Tony.
I came in thinking you'd posted this for the irony, but I see you actually think this is reasonable advice. What is wrong with you these days?
Men: you dare to use feminine tactics when masculine ones are forbidden? What are you some kinda sissy? Shut the fuck up.
There is a difference between pointing out unfair treatment and the sort of perpetual victim act that I see from some people. It's the whining, pleading tone that I don't like. That is indeed unmanly, and in fact, appalling behavior for either gender.
I find anyone REEEEE'ing about being oppressioned to be quite appalling, but particularly men.
Man up.
As a society we need to stop teaching that there is virtue in being a victim.
I'd love that. I think it demands a crushing and undeniable victory in the culture war, though, and I'm not sure how to get there from here.

Yes. You'll get more of what you reward.
Which is why millionaires and billionaires are getting in on the victim act (e.g. Oprah, Meghan Markle & Useless Ginger Husband).

This is the most uneducated thing I've read today, and someone in my family showed me The Guardian.
Breaking News: Guy who plays victim all day is not pleased at being criticized for it.

I haven't changed my mind on playing the victim over the past 6 years. It's pitiful when anyone does it. Particularly when it's supposed men.
Refusing to acknowledge when you are being victimized is playing the victim. Acknowledging that you have been victimized doesn't make you weak.

You were singing a different tune when Jews get called out, iirc.
Yeah, I'm sure you didn't make that up.
there it is, the dumbest fucking thing I have read this month
