Well they have an issue because the teachers association wants unfettered "cut your genitals off" grooming access.
People who could have their teaching license revoked don't want to be in the middle of the war between them and normal people.
A mild amount of self-sufficiency is a good thing for a guy, we can't be women who are dependent on others for leading and guiding them to literally everything. If you can't grocery shop, cook "put in the microwave for 5 minutes" meals, or you're young and can't learn anything from youtube videos life is going to be impossible for you.
But every time someone starts this narrative, in the next step they push it to an extreme and make everything pathological. The people who succeed the most are absolutely not independent, they form groups. It's like the basis for our society - for better or worse.
Being relatively independent is more of a "competent but not at the top" position.
Isn't India one of the few places where men and women's suicide rates are similar?
I don't love suicide or anything but both the west - and places like russia - you can tell men have it worse with their exponentially higher rates.
If you watch you'll notice that whenever they don't blame men it means women don't like it either.
Women as a group don't want to watch captain marvel. They don't want to see masculine woman grunts and makes fart jokes.
They're upset because no one outside their small but overly loud pathology wants what they're pushing - especially the average woman.
What they've done is attack men based on the worst men's behaviors, but then they start replacing male abuse with the female version of what's basically the same abuse.
The difference is that when men are abusive you at least now it's bad.
When women are abusive they manage to convince everything their abuse "is a good thing".
They're just moving this crap around. They reduce the number of older men trying to sleep with underage girls, and replace it with older trying to convince underage kids to amputate their genitals.
It's like a power vacuum or something, you get rid of one group and a new even worse moves into their previous spot.
Yeah, shows on the major 24/7 news networks should probably be held to a higher standard than a news/comedy show on Comedy Central that did, at the time, come after Crank Yankers.
Yeah, this is the hypocrisy I'm talking about.
Crossfire was basically the republican version of The Daily Show. Extremely hypocritical (and a sad sign of things to come where things got much worse) to pretend that the shows up before or after it were an actual argument. Stewart just didn't like people on the other side doing the same thing he was doing.
What was the percentage of young people who's only source of news was the daily show - like 30%? There's another group for daily show + others, and another group of "doesn't get news at all" - it was probably the biggest single source of news for young people.
I would go the other way, I think the only major gatekeeping tactic nerds had was that their activities had no social prestige whatsoever, so only people interested in the activity was join. There was no point for others.
Once nerdy activities started gaining social prestige, nerdom lost it's only defense mechanism.
I remember that was my first inkling that this whole thing was going wrong. He made this big out that seemed like it made sense about how the show was pretending to be news but clearly was drama and conflict. That wasn't exactly wrong. But then he pretended his show wasn't exactly the same thing because 'it was on after muppets making prank calls" so somehow it didn't count.
It wasn't just a casual thing, he vehemently pretended his show which doing the exact same thing had none of the exact same issues, which of course it did.
They always use manipulative and false framing. The trans shit is the best example with mind bending stuff like "gender affirming care", which is the exact opposite of what it actually is.
Exactly, gender affirming care would reassure people that their biological gender is fine.
They're deliberately make terms sound the exact opposite of reality, where "gender affirming care" means amputating healthy fully functioning organs under the guise that their gender is wrong.
Sexuality has always been used in politics as a vehicle to control people.
I have no idea how it works, but clearly over and over we see them do it.
It kinda seems like "pregnancy scare" stuff morphed into "you can never get pregnant because you're gay now" stuff.
I've heard that Big Lie works because normal people tell lies, but they're usually within some degree of the truth. They wouldn't tell lies that are 100% the opposite of the truth - brazenly - because that's just not how they think.
Like I can imagine lying about almost anything about why I was late for work. But I wouldn't claim my boss came to my house and let the air out of my tires to make me late this morning. Not unless I actually thought it was true. Lying about that just seems - like a bad idea wrapped in a terrible coating.
For someone who's a bit of a psychopath and understands how social media works, that's right where they go.
Ok, but to play devil's advocate, isn't this the kind of story we always hear about assasinations that may have been setup by an agency?
It's often some "nothing" bit because that's the best emptional-response they can aim for.
What this means, of course, is that Twitter, along with the rest of Big Tech, is little more than a social engineering tool to manipulate and brainwash the masses into believing the scripted reality that psychopaths are using to maintain control.
If in-group does ThingA it's good.
If out-group does ThingA it's bad.
