Yeah, it's super difficult to be a young white man right now. Better transition to a woman, it's the only way to get by and be widely accepted wherever I go
They mock it, but in certain circles, it's true. Especially among young people. Also, trannies are mentally ill, so you can't rationally explain every single thing, either. But, yes, you get more progressive points as a tranny than a white male. Obviously. Sure, others are disgusted by you, but among your peers, you gained many more points.
"I think people are so impressionable and have such little sense of self that it's possible to bully them INTO being trans..."
There's clearly something up, how else do you explain the exploding rates, and how it matches other social contagions of the past, like eating disorders among young girls? This is not natural, stop pretending it is. Yes, you can bully (or coerce, or bribe) impressionable youngsters into being trans. At the very least the low-effort kind. If I'm a young idiot and can get more clout simply by demanding you call me by "my pronouns," yeah, plenty of people are going to take that deal.
Also, again, see trannies being mentally ill. And the link with autism. Even normal people can fall to the virus but, people need to realize that if you're just looking at rates overall, it's not a universal sample of the average person. The numbers are skewed simply by who is accepting the offer, or pressured by the bullying. On average, you're not turning average people into trannies, you're turning the most susceptible people into trannies. In the past they'd get an eating disorder, or do a bunch of drugs, or join a cult, or something. Now they go trans.
If I'm a young idiot and can get more clout simply by demanding you call me by "my pronouns," yeah, plenty of people are going to take that deal.
Doesn't even have to be an idiot, a lot of women will self ID as non-binary and then do nothing else about it because the return on such low effort is absurd.
Young white boys are subjected to levels of racism and misandry that is frowned upon any other group. It's the only group you can blatantly call out, judge, discriminate against, even in shows. Every modern show has to use the words "white man" at least once, especially in a negative context.
Woke teachers constantly deride white men for all sins while ignoring anyone else's or spending a lot of time justifying only one side.
Now little Billy comes in with a wig on and says he's a girl and they all fawn over him, even above their precious minorities and (actual) girls. So of course some will be tempted, if they weren't pushed by their parents already.
CA is a liberal hell hole. The only reason it's the 4th largest economy is [...]
The main reason is that it's the most populated State in the entire USA, and not even close. It has 40m people, 30% more than the 2nd State (Texas with 31m), and double the 4th State (NY at 20m).
The fact that it's only 4th, while having so many people, is in fact a sign it's indeed a hell hole.
Only because cities get oversaturated and dwarf the other regions that keep them from no longer existing, all the while browbeating those same regions for not voting "correctly".
The realisation that Civil War 2: Farming Boogaloo is not going to be a quick gunfight in the streets will be more of a morale disaster to the progressives than anything else when all their food stops showing up.
The first Civil War lasted as long as it did, despite the North's technological superiority, was because all the experienced officers and soldiers came from the South. The North had crackheads and ass-kissers.
I'd argue that using the American Civil War to predict any 2nd Civil War (or almost any civil war worldwide for that matter) is a poor idea. The Civil War wasn't really a true Civil War except for border areas where it was truly divided. It was more two nations fighting each other. We avoided a lot of the horrific stuff that other places saw plenty of.
There's that, but also plain inertia. It's hard to move an industry elsewhere once all the supporting B2B companies get established around the core.
Software is there today because it was "Silicon Valley" and focused itself around tech. It was Silicon Valley because that's where the semiconductor boom happened. The semiconductor boom happened because that's where Fairchild started. Because that's where founders who quit Shockley were. And Shockley was there because Shockley himself was a professor at Stanford when it started. Why? Probably because he grew up around there. Why? Because that was where his parents settled after doing mining work across the US and internationally.
tl;dr: Today's tech industry is based in California because a couple in the early 1900s though Palo Alto was nice. It's got fuck all to do with California's policies. And even if it did, it was the policies of 70+ years ago, not today.
Edit:
The fact that it's only 4th, while having so many people
Not the 4th largest state economy. The 4th largest economy. #1 is the entire US, #2 is China, and #3 is Germany. #5 is Japan. Germany is the least populous of those with around 85m.
During Dragon Con there were Pro Science and Medical Professionals who protested RFK Jr. I can't post those pictures because they are all personal from friends. Lots of catchy slogan boards and people over 50 who are certain they are on the right side of history.
Gotcha. Thats good to hear. The last major con I went to had a bunch of lefty crap so I decided to just do small ones. I remember Chris Gore talking about the big cons like San Diego in the 80s and 90s catering to nerds/comic book readers
I used to volunteer for security at DragonCon for a few years in the mid to late 2000s. It got worse and worse until I literally had to try and break up a fist fight between 501st and trekkies. I stopped after that.
You bet your ass I don't. I'm good at my job and my company recognizes that. I survived multiple rounds of layoffs because my company saw I was more valuable than the people who were let go.
I don't need to pay some liberal arts bureaucrat to tell me when I can and cannot work just so leeches can keep their free salary.
Lol at the California one. Calling people brokies and sucking international finance's dick, such classic lefty positions. There's basically only the biggest fools and frauds left in that cult.
California is a disaster by every measure. Their biggest industry is porn and it, along with every other industry that was big, is either dying out or leaving for more business friendly areas.
Hollywood is dying out because jews. Porn is dying out because tech. Tech is getting shittier because jeets and is moving elsewhere.
Meanwhile there are drug addicts, feces and crime everywhere. I say this as someone who has spent far too long there. You'll read about some of the things said about CA on here and it will sound so unbelievable you'll think it's an exaggeration, I promise it's not.
California is going to get worse and worse and a good part of that is because the politicians are corrupt as fuck and are literally stealing and then hoarding the people's money while hiding behind private armed forces. It's a dystopia.
I will never forget reading about how the members of the Frankfurt school arrived in California in I believe the 50s, and decided that literal paradise on earth was just not their thing. Those misers then spent the rest of their lives plotting and scheming how to destroy it.
I think early 20th century California is as close as we ever got to the realisation of the American dream. Its downfall is one of the greatest tragedies of the last 100 years.
I'd argue it is the greatest civic tragedy of the last five centuries. California should have been the crown jewel of the USA. A fairly high trust society, with near perfect climate, excellent locations for trade, and plenty of land to go around. Instead it has been turned into a socialist hellscape run by clowns and populated by degenerate heathens where nothing works properly and wealth is repeatedly stolen by the state.
The worst part is that it was all totally avoidable. This wasn't done by some violent takeover or invading army from another culture. This was done slowly and deliberately over time by fifth columnists.
I would LOVE to live in California as a car enthusiast. Getting to drive up and down the Pacific Coast Highway, going into canyons and hills, driving up to the Redwoods, occasionally spotting Jay Leno and whatever contraption he's driving that day, etc. It would be like something out of a Beach Boys song. But the government and the people there just make it such a hard no.
Yes, and it's another case of jews jewing themselves. They fuck each other over constantly. One group of kikes pimps women on film and another group of kikes wants to get political attention so they start a movement calling attention to how Hollywood is pimping women.
"I think people are so impressionable and have such little sense of self that it's possible to bully them INTO being trans..."

what, self respect is not a thing anymore?
Was that ever a thing for young women?

And Texas is fucking huge. Start throwing in metrics involving land area and those numbers go insane.

I hate what Major Cons have become. I still work as a vendor at the small local ones by my place. Those are nice.
Major cons are a temporary theme park like Universal or Disney, not an actual convention. I've worked at both so I know.
The actual big conventions are still fun. Portland Retro Gaming Expo is coming up, and I still want to work it.
Gotcha. Thats good to hear. The last major con I went to had a bunch of lefty crap so I decided to just do small ones. I remember Chris Gore talking about the big cons like San Diego in the 80s and 90s catering to nerds/comic book readers
When everything went corporate, the magic went away. 2012 Emerald City Comicon or PAX was not 2016 versions of themselves it was very obvious.
Yes! In my area they used to do a Sci Fi Expo and Comic Con along with a fan days. They got bought out and you could definitely tell the difference
Can't be on the right side of history until you are history. Wish they'd hurry the fuck up.

I like that they're blaming the wildfires on deporting immigrant firefighters.

Jews created Hollywood and Porn though.
Yes, and it's another case of jews jewing themselves. They fuck each other over constantly. One group of kikes pimps women on film and another group of kikes wants to get political attention so they start a movement calling attention to how Hollywood is pimping women.
There's a reason civilians set policy for the military, you absolute retard.
I'm out of the loop on the firefighters. Was there a shortage of firefighters for some reason?
Firefighters in California were illegal immigrants and sent back home.
Never got the news, was that wide spread. Seems strange because being a Firefighter is popular enough to not need illegals.
It's big in lefty news circles.
i wish he'd blow up the deportees
The Union joke is true except Unions are just an arm of the business or a money sac for vampires in DC.
Because "muh innocent brown children" or for good reasons? Methodist churches are usually super woke.
