His work has been shit since he joined Scientology.
If we are honest about it, the biggest killer of communists is other communists.
Women can be taught to take accountability, to self-reflect on their internal (emotional) state and to not think with their feelings. It just takes enormous social pressure to do this.
Feminism has been fantastically successful at removing all responsibility and accountability from women, while increasing the accountability and responsibility for men.
Society of the past has recognized that women are infantile and selfish and has demanded that men take care of them accordingly, in return women birth and care for the next generation. Now that social contract is irredeemably broken and it will lead directly to the end of entire cultures (Korea, Italy, Japan, etc) in the near future. The situation will be irreversible (even with breeding camps) in about 20 years.
This has been a textbook example of Tragedy of the Commons. The selfish desires of women have literally doomed entire cultures.
Things are going to get very much worse before women decide to let men make changes. Cultures that do not empower women's choices will become dominant specifically because they do not empower women's choices.
So, no. He isn't wrong.
In fairness, Imp doesn't think that women are inferior. He thinks they are literally evil.
That the base, most essential nature of women will cause them to selfishly drive society towards decadence, decline and eventual implosion.
Steroid abousers have massive testosterone and deformed children. Especially if they are older.
Mother Teresia thought that the suffering of the poor was holy. Her nuns gave almost exclusively palliative care in the slums of Calcutta, superficially so that the poor could die in agony, and she could save their souls with a deathbed conversion to Catholicism.
She was offered millions of dollars in aid, including drugs and doctors. She skimmed the money off the top and funneled it into the Vatican for use in other projects, refused the medicine and doctors and ensured that the poor Hindus died in agony. Because souls.
She was a fucking monster.
Modern MBTs don't destroy roads. Rubber track pads prevent this.
Yes they do. They weigh >100t each. How many do you think can trundle down a road before it is mush? I watch the (very few) Abrams saddle up for exercises and see each and every one loaded onto a custom low-loader to be transported to and from the exercise, specifically to prevent a convoy of Abrams (with rubber track pads) from wrecking the roads.

Logistics is king. Diesel is the resource, and unless the Chinese Navy lands in fucking Darwin, they are going to have to haul their supplies across the most rugged continent on earth.
Australia just signed a contract for the delivery for 75 M1A2 Abrams, and I am not alone in thinking that for the job the Abrams is overweight and over armored.
Sheridan’s critique of the opportunity cost of purchasing the SEPv3 models is valid, notwithstanding Australia’s continued need for the direct-fire support capabilities that tanks provide. Australia’s M1A1s were initially intended to operate until 2035, and it seems likely this upgrade will push the platform’s operating life in Australia out to at least the 2040s. While the army should continue to operate a tank platform, the Abrams is simply too heavy for Australia’s needs, and Defence has missed an opportunity to consider lighter alternatives, such as the US Army’s light tank ‘mobile protected firepower’ program, which is set to deploy its first units by 2025.
The M1A2 SEPv3 is a continuation of the army’s tank capabilities: fast, powerful, reliable and overkill and overweight for Australia’s needs, with little room to manoeuvre for future developments.

As amusing as it is to watch you stroke your e-peen and daydream about tank on tank battles in the outback, Main Battle Tanks are not the most effective armored vehicle for ground combat under every circumstance.
Look, you are right. Every point you made is correct.
However, unless there are tanks fighting tanks, all of those roles can be fulfilled by a medium tank or a light tank, which is faster, doesn't destroy roads and gets better fuel economy. For example the entire continent of Australia doesn't need a MBT because no one is ever going to land a MBT. If they do the Aussies will send sappers (combat engineers with explosives) and SAS to blow up their diesel tankage.
I misspoke when I said that a modern air force makes tanks redundant. The situation of air superiority makes them a big fucking target, and then on fire. See Gulf War 2, etc. The specific example I gave of a modern howitzer is because they are much better at "shoot and scoot" to evade attack by aircraft.
Russians were actually pretty clear about it. You don't kill them before you dump them in the pit because it is hardier to carry a dead body than a person who is just tied hand and foot.
For ease of loading and unloading the bodies, tie them with fencing wire and bury them alive.
Socialism has shown us the way.
4th Ed was shit.
It was a tactics game that was optimized to deliver a computer game experience on a table with miniatures and terrain.
It was fucking broken out of the gates. I had a party of very experienced players run optimized characters with carefully planned builds. We were routinely taking on encounters that were +3 or +4 above our Challenge Rating.
The DM was just about ready to cheat, because we could steamroll anything that wasn't an engineered TPK; by level 4!
There wasn't any "role playing", there is no other mechanic for getting XP other than killing things and taking their stuff, and the game was a shitty TT War Game dressed up pretty to sell extra accessories.
Pathfinder was launched specifically because 4th Ed was so shit.
Which Pathfinder?
The previous edition of Pathfinder started from the rules of 3.5E, and went on from there.
The current edition of Pathfinder is a totally different thing, and the company itself is pretty fucking woke.
You have to realize that the TTRPG industry was the first to fall to Woke, back in 2005 or something. The industry has relentlessly been driving out people who are not woke for almost 20 years.
There are non woke games. Just not the current Pathfinder. Go play Reign by Greg Stolze or EarthDawn by Red Brick Games.
A classic battleship have huge amounts of armor. Modern navel engagements don't require a ship to be able to shrug off 20mm cannon fire, they require surviving a Harpoon missile.
Main battle tanks have the specific role of fighting other main battle tanks.
Air superiority of a modern air force makes a MBT redundant. They are slow, hot targets and very vulnerable to missile strike.
The advantage of a MBT is that they are a lot cheaper to field than an aircraft. That said, a modern mobile howitzer with the right support (scouts for fire control) is much more effective when used correctly. Check out the Archer Artillery System. Longer range and much better at hiding from hostile aircraft.
I see a near term future where Expert Systems hand off specific tasks to Convolutional Neural Networks and then the final product is put into words by a LLN.
This would make tools for specific jobs with repeatable, auditable results.
For example, drafting legal documents, including contracts could be done this way. Another job might be triage and early diagnosis. A specialist triage nurse could be greatly aided by a system that is helpful for picking up rare conditions or non-standard presentation of conditions.
The idea of general AI where people follow the orders of machines programmed to the specification of the Pointy Haired Boss (from Dilbert) is probably what we will get instead. Welcome to the future.
Last ten years? No chance. I have some older recommendations for authors you may not have read.
I can recommend the Winter of the World series by Michael Scott Rohan.
I also recommend Harry Harrison, who mostly writes SF. That said, his series 'West of Eden' takes place in a world populated by prehistoric humans and intelligent lizards. It is smart and well written. Harry Harrison was one of the greatest SF authors of all time, and this series was written at the height of his power.
Hey BB. You seem like a total QT. uwu
At this rate he'll get himself kilt!
The Imp for mod 2024.
Cool. Now do the petrodollar.
I care that China was ready and able to blackmail Hunter for sleeping with an underage prostitute.
I care that the sitting president's son was co-opted by a foreign, socialist nation.
He has actually spent a lot of time and effort making an accurate documentary of GamerGate and the Airplay event that tried to drag it into the public eye.
Blue-Ray is a great format should you care about this documentary and want to own a copy.
You are so right! Everyone knows that Rumsfeld is a Lizard Man. Like a Lizard would every put up with some guys from Beta Retiular giving advice to the Whitehouse.
I can't tell if he is a master troll or it was just wishful thinking.
We should absolutely sue Jones into the ground! Hey, what legal taught do you think we could use? How about the whole "actual harm" thing? I guess we should just make shit up?
Jones has been more right than he has been wrong. More to the point, when he is wrong he is usually exploring a line of thought out loud on air.
With the Sandy Hook thing he was exploring the idea that it might be a hoax. On air, he reviewed the facts at his disposal and concluded that it wasn't a hoax, but opportunists were making the most of it to push their agenda.
Which was exactly what was happening. Jones never named any particular people as crisis actors; he spent vastly more time talking about the genuine tragedy.
If you are so fucking sure that he has smooth-brain takes, name a few. Was it the Gay Frogs? Or what?
In your post you come across as a massive, authoritarian faggot. You are happy to use the weight of law and the men with guns that it commands to silence people you don't like; just as long as it is the right people. I guess you see yourself as the person in charge?
In any sane world Jones would win the appeal, especially in Texas. That said, it will cost him $50 million to get there and he may not win.
I already took care of that.
I used the time machine to change how timekeeping works. Now all analog clocks reset at noon and midnight.
It was an effort, I'll tell you. Did you know that timekeeping uses the Sumerian base four counting system? TIL!
