I saw a Walmart commercial the other day that made me think that they've managed to subvert the BBQ as well.

It was essentially a short clip of a soyboy, beta White husband type alone pushing a shopping cart (maybe containing a new BBQ box?) who unsolicitedly gets greeted by a dumpy, mystery meat bluevested middle-aged woman employee with a "There’s nothing better than having a BBQ".

The juxtaposition of the soyboy husband buying consumer goods and goyslop food from Wallyworld vs the more classic images of more masculine cultural figures like Hank Hill or Tony Soprano and the themes around grilling meat for family and friends just a few decades ago.

It also hit me with the irony of some box store wagie declaring how great BBQing is on holidays and weekends while physically stuck in the deadend retail environment that probably has them scheduled to work those times they'd be BBQing anyway.

I've also seen a lot of "Keeping Up With The Joneses" advertising targeted more at women surrounding back patios and grills from outfits like Wayfair, Walmart and hardware stores.

Where the marketing is all about being envious of your neighbor's backyard setup, so you rush out and buy entire sets yourself to show off for status.

The marketing is more of an interior decorating/accessorizing focus surrounding the BBQ rather than any Hank Hill one that has anything to do with the grill specs themselves.

Very well put.

Category 2 definitely describes hoe_math well even though he has caught lightning in a bottle the last 2 years being a messiah & getting rich off Category 1.

Thanks for the compliment.

It's nice to be the blind squirrel that finds a nut once in a while.

There is probably a semantic argument whether dead bedrooms husbands whose wives hate them go in the "incel" bucket, maybe as "born agains".

I think there probably needs to be a new and different term for dead bedroom and old divorced guys who either aren't getting any or have very low sexual market value despite past success.

The haters constantly lob incel at redpill guys like hoe_math even when their entire brand claim to fame is triple digit body counts.

Also when guys like hoe_math are proud and open Twitter racists and transphobes already.

Yeah, the anti-Zionist wing of the right needs some better representation.

It's currently lead mostly by Nick Fuentes, who is embarrassing to be associated with.

Then there are Jake Shields, Dan Bilzerian, Lucas Gage types that are mostly living memes.

Reminds me of feather Indians having to leave the rez to escape victimhood culture if they ever want to be individuals and make something of themselves.

I recall talking to employed Australian Aboriginals across the pond talking about how you either had to leave the rez or quit if they ever actually got a real job.

Because the "community" would barge in and declare any of your possessions as "communal" if you ever tried to get ahead.

The United States has about a hundred Holocaust museums

Boy, that's really going to dilute the pile of shoes to simply enough to fill each local shoe rack.

from the language of the Musqueam First Nation

I knew a guy BITD that everyone suspected was still in the closet and was a caricature at the time of being a West Coast NPC.

I recall he unsolicitedly told me that the Musqueam people weren't actually a distinct tribe but simply were an away party from another band that happened to be at the mouth of the Fraser River upon first contact. This was surrounding some institutional proto-woke virtue signaling/land acknowledgment agitprop at the time.

I'm sure the dude that told me that is currently boosted 8 times with a seething case of TDS. But I guess it also shows that a some of the crunchy shitlibs at one time had a shred of based skepticism to them as well before they were completely swallowed by Moloch.

I like how the opening phrase frames her as a "mother of two", implying that she's a single mom initially.

It's only later that it's revealed that she's feeling emotionally neglected by her husband Andrew, a farmer who's probably putting in 16 hour days on the combine while she flicks her bean to the sweet nuthins mirrored back to her from AI Ouija Chad.

A lot of people barely remember COVID.

And a good chunk of those that do can't admit they were duped or that they or anyone else did anything wrong.

Cruz did not come off well in the full interview either.

As I posted in yesterday's thread, the Iran population stumping was already 90 mins into the interview.

Tucker essentially played dumb the entire time with a "I'm just asking questions" strategy. But managed to throw Cruz off, get him on his backfoot and come off as looking defensive and elusive many times. Including about whether he was wrong/should apologize for his support for Ukraine, the Nordstream pipeline sabotage (Cruz didn't slip up and equivocally declared it was Ukraine that blew it up, not the US), AIPAC, his evangelical support for Israel, his personal stance on calling for regime change in Iran, etc.

Cruz got really butthurt earlier in the interview before the Iran pop stuff when Tucker called his evasive answers about something (?AIPAC) "sleazy feline" behavior. Cruz brought it up twice during the course of the interview.

The interview took place in Cruz' office. I expected him to end in early like Kamala's staffers during the Bret Baier Fox News interview and kick Tucker out, but it went the full 2 hours.

Cruz called Carlson an antisemite for asking questions about how AIPAC works, whether it has any ties to the Israeli government, whether it's a foreign lobby. Carlson feigned being hurt by the label himself and brought it up many times.

Cruz tried to deflect from the AIPAC questioning that our greatest enemies were China and Russia.

Cruz also labeled Carlson as an "isolationist" that doesn't back ANY of Trump’s military actions. He tried to paint a "you've changed for the worse" angle of Carlson stumping for Iraw 2.0 BITD but won't get onboard the Current Thing Iran train.

Cruz used the justification for Iran that there's definitive proof of Iran-sponsored assassination attempts on Trump’s life outside of Butler, PA and the golf course patsy. But wouldn't name any names or details, only that the SS had foiled multiple Iranian plots to kill Trump and other Cabinet members. Something about the Iranians getting caught during Trump 1.0 renting an apartment right next to John Bolton.

Tucker asked him several times why now in engaging Iran vs when these assassination threats actually occurred. Cruz didn't really answer.

Cruz was predictably evasive and didn't come off well in the longform interview. He wasn't well briefed on topics, didn't give convincing answers, was often hostile and often fell back on partisan "That was all Biden's fault" answers.

Cruz claimed to have only personally supported the very first Ukraine funding bill. He blamed Biden for causing the Ukrainian invasion for "being weak".

He made allusions to being against COVID lunacy after the fact. He also admitted that Ukraine has been a disaster for the US, but takes no personal responsibility, simply blaming Biden.

He claimed to run in 2012 for his Senate seat in the first place primarily to ensure American support for Israel as his main goal. He said the US only gives 3 billion a year to Israel and only in military aid. He pretended AIPAC was completely American and detached from the Israeli government, claiming its funding is only individual citizens of his district each giving 1k each. He actually criticized AIPAC for not doing more during Obama to prevent the Iran nuclear deal.

Listening to the Ted Cruz/Tucker Carlson interview the next day after the viral "What is the population of Iran?" clip.

What's interesting is that the Iran facts Qs came 90 mins into the interview (with commercials).

The clip comes after Ted Cruz accused Tucker multiple times about "being obsessed with Israel", being an antisemite, being a conspiracy theorist about the moon landing and 9/11, etc.

Over some mild sealioning questions Tucker asked about AIPAC and whether the superPAC is tied at all with the interests of the government of Israel. And Cruz was on his backfoot and crashing out.

Cruz said himself in the interview that the main reason he was elected in 2012 was that he ran on supporting Israel's interests in the US.

I was just anticipating more of a corollary with knowing the population/demographics of Iran before going to war and at least some premeditation of casing the joint to know who may be home when planning a crime of passion.

But I understand the angle of attack you went with for your hypothetical case as well.

I thought your analogy was going to include how many homies are hanging out with him on his porch.

Or how many other occupants there are in the home you're about to go shoot up.

Wasn't really J-pilled before then.

It's all so cringy in hindsight.

Seems like the College wasted more of their members' dues on some carpetbagger globalist ringer.

He only nominally has any connection to Canada in contributing to some Law Society of BC regulation that has no connection to Ontario.

His site bills himself as "Professional Regulation Regulator". A deracinated consultant.

IIRC, another Kafkaesque component of Peterson's professional licensing body was that the remedial education penalty was open-ended.

There was no prescribed number of hours or specific targets.

The overseen remedial sessions were inflated by hourly rate and completely at Peterson's personal expense.

And the only possible conclusion to the punishment was that very same "Professional Regulation Regulator" with the financial and ideological conflicts of interest deemed that the remedial penalty sessions were no longer required.
