Psychological projection is a defense mechanism in which the ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others. A bully may project their own feelings of vulnerability onto the target, or a person who is confused may project feelings of confusion and inadequacy onto other people.
Coronavirus...I don't know, I'm not a scientist, but something about how it works means that it spreads at political gatherings I don't like, but doesn't spread at ones I do like.
Do you think that's what it was like in Nazi Germany? People were bitching about not going to the gym?
Actually...

The "Swing Kids" (German: Swingjugend) were a group of jazz and swing lovers in Germany in the 1930s...The Swing Kids gave the impression of being apolitical, similar to their zoot suiter counterparts in North America.
.
On 18 August 1941, in a brutal police operation, over 300 Swing kids were arrested. The measures against them ranged from cutting their hair and sending them back to school under close monitoring, to the deportation of their leaders to Nazi concentration camps.
This is just one example, I get the impression that banning any entertainment that wasn't aligned with their ideology was exactly what the Nazi's were doing.
Her twitter picture reminds me of The Joker - the forced upturned smile that's only real when they're running someone over...

It's crazy, they're actually starting to look like comic book villains.
I think this is more that the boss was using "the narrative" to claim he was socialist and get fill the level below him with non-threatening women and non-threatening "non binary" men.
When he achieved, he "suddenly" realized he didn't want to give up power after all.
I don't know why the Left insists on not talking about it, silencing any who dare even meme about it.
Big Lie Politicking
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_lie
The big lie (German: große Lüge) is a gross distortion or misrepresentation of the truth, used especially as a propaganda technique.[1][2] The German expression was coined by Adolf Hitler, when he dictated his 1925 book Mein Kampf, to describe the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously."
All this was inspired by the principle – which is quite true within itself – that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods.
It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.
The Cold War historian Zachary Jonathan Jacobson describes its use:[10]
Adolf Hitler first defined the Big Lie as a deviant tool wielded by Viennese Jews to discredit the Germans' deportment in World War I. Yet, in tragically ironic fashion, it was Hitler and his Nazi regime that actually employed the mendacious strategy. In an effort to rewrite history and blame European Jews for Germany's defeat in World War I, Hitler and his propaganda minister accused them of profiting from the war, consorting with foreign powers and "war shirking" (avoiding conscription). Jews, Hitler contended, were the weak underbelly of the Weimer state that exposed the loyal and true German population to catastrophic collapse. To sell this narrative, Joseph Goebbels insisted "all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands."
In short, Nazi fascism hinged on creating one streamlined, overarching lie ... the Nazis built an ideology on a fiction, the notion that Germany's defeat in World War I could be avenged (and reversed) by purging the German population of those purportedly responsible: the Jews.
I don't know if normality allows for joy.
I think normality is like having plenty of food. Once you have it for a while it doesn't cause happiness, but it's sorta a prerequisite to be calm and happy. But what causes happiness - is different than what causes normality.
In my experience to be happy you have to engage the ego.
It's sorta volatile - it can also make you really miserable - but it seems like I have to have my ego on for something in order to feel happy.
Took a class on nazi germany back in college. Apparently both the nazi's and the hardcore communists decided that each other wasn't the biggest threat, it was the moderates that were.
Moderates got hit by both of them hard, leading to the shit-show that followed.
There was an article about how they were telling women they couldn't come into work those jobs were now done by men.
I was like "oh hey! sounds just like when the 'white males must all be fired from the company' woman came through my department'. They have a lot in common.
they seemed to me to mostly about training men to stop caring about whether they were getting laid or not
....
Are you sure?
For mgtwo, back in the day, yes.
In japan there's a similar concept called "herbivore men".
In china there's something called "lying flat" that's primarily about work but includes not getting married and not having kids.
Me: Uh...this seems to be confused with the anti-incel idealogy. This is what incel-mocking cells believe, it's about feeling that men who can't get laid are worthless and if you are getting laid you're superior to them.
Not at all. They would not have created their entire sad movement if this was not what they believed. Besides, I don't think that men who don't get laid are worthless. The monks of the middle ages were pretty damn great. But what they were not doing is obsessing 24/7 over not having sex, like incels do.
Nichola Tesla was apparently a celibate bachelor as well.
There haven't been that many incel shooters - feminist politicians really really wanted their to be so they could repeat 1 thing obsessively over and over - but they've had real trouble finding people.
But of the few, this is the 2nd that we know went online and got mocked for being incel, right before he went on a shooting spree. If reddit's goal was actually banning hate subs - rather than just doing man-hating - you'd see the anti-incel sub banned. I don't see that is has any positive purpose.
It borders on being a cultural norm that someone reaches a point in their life where they realize they're not dating and they need to do something about it. I've known multiple girls who reached this point, and of course some guys as well including myself.
The movie Back To The Future has something like this as it's background plot.
In Marty's original timeline his parents are low self esteem and kinda losers. He has to sneak around to spend the weekend with his girlfriend. It's very relatable for a lot of people - their parents, their school, etc tsk tsk at relations with the opposite gender but the successful people do it anyways.
that they define their own self-worth...as being wholly about whether they can get laid
Uh...this seems to be confused with the anti-incel idealogy. This is what incel-mocking cells believe, it's about feeling that men who can't get laid are worthless and if you are getting laid you're superior to them.
I don't think this is the philosophy of incel subs. I didn't spend much time in them because they seemed to me to mostly about training men to stop caring about whether they were getting laid or not in some weird thing about removing their sex drive as a way to control them.
We need common sense feminist control. All the apparatus used to knock out anti-vaccine posts should be on them.
I couldn't agree more.
Recently saw an article about doubling down on her statement that she's not a feminist:
https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/shailene-woodley-insists-shes-still-not-feminist-msna556081
When asked if she considered herself a feminist, Woodley replied: “No because I love men, and I think the idea of ‘raise women to power, take the men away from the power’ is never going to work out because you need balance. With myself, I’m very in touch with my masculine side. And I’m 50% feminine and 50% masculine, same as I think a lot of us are. And I think that is important to note. And also I think that if men went down and women rose to power, that wouldn’t work either. We have to have a fine balance."
Feminism, on the other hand, has become an extremist hate group.
The last reddit sub he was reading and posting to was IncelsInAction "This sub is for mocking the antics of anyone who identifies themselves as "incel." This is a term popularised on Reddit and 4chan meaning "involuntarily celibate" i.e. men who can't get laid. Some of them get really really mad about it, and here are their stories..."
Are you going to admit your hate group / sub played a part in creating this tragedy?
Falsely accusing an entire group of crimes because of the actions of a statistically insignificant minority is a stupid idea, doubly so when that group already feels alienated and excluded from society.
Looks like this is exactly what happened someone said this is his post history:

This is the most recent sub he was reading and posting to.
Same comments the cops made to me when harrassing me for walking around my own neighborhood at night.
Exact same thing they complain about when it's one of their special groups that they "shouldn't be persecuted".
