This is a bit of a shower thought, but I'm wondering if all the polytard nonsense that's been pushed over the last few years is the even more degenerate dark side of female hypergamy. We know that the vast majority of women are only interested in a tiny portion of men (the top of the top of the top on the SMV pecking order). It's often referred to as the 80/20 rule (80% of women going for 20% of men), but there's evidence that it's more like the top 5% (source). Whatever the exact numbers, the point remains the same: This leaves a ton of leftover men, and a much smaller number of women who are disgustingly low value, even by current year's nasty standards. Those women might consider 7s, 6s, and possibly 5s to be on their level instead of 9s and 10s, but they still have a ridiculously overinflated perception of their SMV.

The main response society has to this problem is to sweep it under the rug and expect men to continue playing the sick game or rot in a ditch if they can't/won't. But a secondary response appears to be promoting polyamory. In a certain sense that's already happening organically with the women and top men (think a de facto form of polygyny). The setup isn't officially a relationship and frankly Chad Thundercock doesn't need to seek progressive validation of his lifestyle so they don't use that term, but that's what it is in practice. That's not what the degenerate media is promoting, however. A man with multiple women is a crime against feminism. They don't criticize women who participate in those setups because criticizing women's shitty taste in men is an even worse crime against feminism. Still, they don't approve of it and won't promote it. They're promoting nasty ass women with a cuck harem of low value males. I even once read an article promoting polyamory as a solution to the incel problem (I lost it and can't find it unfortunately). Now, polytards will tell you that there's a million different ways that polyamory can be structured. While that's true, the most common structure by far (outside the cock carousel that is) is the cuck harem. The media is eager to promote cuckoldry of course (example), and I sort of wonder if their goal is to get non-Chads to share bottom of the barrel women. Using the (optimistic) 80/20 numbers as an example, that's 4 non-Chads for every nasty woman who can't get Chad or Tyrone to bang her even in a dry spell. I think the cuckoldry aspect is enough for the elites to favor it, and it allows them to victim blame incels for being unwilling to share a disgusting woman with 3 other dudes. "Hey, polyamory is option for them. They obviously don't want sex as bad as they want to be misogynistic monogamists". I'm curious to know what people here think. It's kind of a half baked theory of mine that popped into my head a few days ago.

Victoria 3 was released in October by Paradox and I'm wondering what experiences people have had, if any. The economic simulation looks interesting to me, and I haven't (seriously) played any other Paradox titles. They implemented a warfare system that's quite different than their previous games, and depending on how they implement it the new system it might actually be ideal for me since I'd be more interested in the economic management anyway. I wanted to know if anyone here has experience with it, and do let me know if the studio has done any woke shit. I'm not very familiar with Paradox, and I'm perfectly willing to pirate if they're unethical.

Despite the fact that the suspect was only arrested on Friday (12/30/22), the media was trying to tie these murders to incels as early as late November (source 1) (source 2). Their game was obvious back then, but now they've gone all out in pushing this. They slipped some (completely irrelevant to the topic at hand) speculation from an "expert" in this article today. What really caught my attention was the fact that FBI insisted on transporting the suspect themselves (source). Normally the US Marshals handle a task like this, but the FBI specifically requested to handle this particular transport. This might seem like an odd bureaucratic thing that doesn't mean much to someone who doesn't know the politics of the situation, but of course we know better. The FBI is politically compromised and its sole purpose is to take orders from its woke masters in the DNC. They've made persecuting guys who can't get laid a priority, right up there with groups like ISIS and the white supremacist boogeymen who always turn out to be FBI glowies. In comparison the US Marshals are pretty clean since all the bad actors go elsewhere. So this particular case was personal to the FBI, which is a sign that they've bought into the incel angle on this (or at least found it useful for their purposes). So expect another round of moral panic about incels, despite the fact there's no evidence that this guy is an incel beyond speculation based on the kinds of stereotypes that are totally okay when their side does it.

Andrew Tate's recent arrest makes this as good of a time as any to post some thoughts I've had about him for a while, as well as some new ones about his arrest.

1. It always seemed like he was a bigger deal to the feminists and the left than he was to us. Their constant sperging out about him felt completely out of proportion to how much the Manosphere actually liked or respected him. Maybe it's the specific spaces I hang out in but actual Manosphere guys largely saw him as a grifter whose 15 minutes of fame was running out. There are far better content creators in the Manosphere than this guy. That's not to dismiss Tate's very real and very large following, but that seems to mostly consist of younger guys who are very new to pro-male movements and spaces.

2. Considering the cam whore scam he was running it wouldn't shock me if the human trafficking allegations against him are true. I'd need to see actual proof before I believe them, but they're not as crazy as allegations against regime opponents often are. That said, this is the classic playbook that the regime uses to get rid of inconvenient people. They've been trying to shut him up for months, and combined with the circumstances of his arrest (right after he crossed the patron saint of the left's climate change scam) the arrest is suspicious as fuck regardless of how one feels about the accusations against him.

3. Tate is a grifter and a con artist, but maybe instead of talking about Tate we should talk about how our sick anti-male society makes Tate a better male role model than the man bashing crap that the MSM is infected with. When soyciety tells men that they're subhumans and scapegoats them for all past, present, and future problems, any alternative that doesn't do that is going to have a leg up. When an influencer provokes outrage in someone who despises you because of your inate characteristics, you're going to be drawn to that. If an evil movement bent on making your life a living hell hates him he can't be all bad, right? As I said before, there are far better content creators in the Manosphere than Andrew Tate. But here's the thing. As far as our rotten feminist soyciety is concerned those better creators aren't any different than Tate, because they're no more willing to obey their social betters than Tate is. They don't object to Tate specifically. They object to anyone offering men anything better than existing for the sole purpose of being slaves to a pampered and entitled caste that already has every advantage in life. The feminists will never be able to sell men poverty and 3rd class citizenship if those horrible Red Pillers and MGTOWS keep offering them a better life than the eternal misery that feminism promises them.

This is sort of a follow up to this post in case anyone is interested in a little backstory.

As I've posted before I'm in a STEM master's program. The content of the program has been free of woke bullshit, although some of the professors are clearly soy sucking faggots. So far the worst they've done is host readings for some race communist's book at the department level, although that was clearly pushed by the university. They also advertised some soy boy event that the sociology department held on masculinity.

Now the cancer has spread to my department. They formed a DIE committee and they're doing shit like sending out surveys for retards to lie on and planning DIE trainings. One question asks how likely people are to attend the DIE trainings, and the least likely option that was available was "only if they're mandatory". That sounds like a coded threat to me, albeit an impotent one. Those fags can't make me attend anything. Considering how late in the semester this started I figured that the nonsense would pick up in January. It still seems that the worst of it will start in earnest next semester but they couldn't help but start the faggot convention early. They're holding a social event during the last week of class. The event will be held right after one of the classes that a significant portion of my program taking in the same room the class meets. I'm sure that's completely coincidental and totally not an underhanded way to pressure people into participating.

The worst part is that my advisor is the head of this clown show. His political views have always been kind of an enigma to me because some signs point in sane directions and other signs point in commie directions. It's possible that he thinks DIE is only about reasonable stuff like disability accommodations, but that's probably a naive take considering the leading role he's taking in the bullshit. Oh well. The dude is useful to me so I'll just have to do my best to steer clear of the radioactive minefield that he insists on playing in.

I'm probably late to the party but I figured I'd post this in case anyone wasn't aware. This is the first time I've been able to access the site since September's troon attack. I lost the site that Josh was posting updates on, so I've been in the dark. I'm curious about what he did to get it back up.
