I don't remember, sorry.

But hey, at least your tweet was a reminder that I need to screenshot this stuff, which I usually do. Been slacking, my bad.

Where did you get that statistic? Tumblr was primarily female users, but Twitter, I haven't seen any stats on. Don't disagree that it's basically cancer though lol.

Less sexual harassment, but plenty of that too, surprisingly. Both men and women like to attack men over that, just to a lesser degree than men and women like to attack women over it.

But most of the anger/rage/hate stuff is directed by men at men, similarly to how men are more likely to be robbed, killed, etc. We spend more time online than woman on average too I believe.

The game journalists either purposefully don't get it and are doing it for the money (literally: "I get to stay at home and write stuff and I get like a 50k a year salary? Oh wow, idc, I'll do it) or they're just activists.

Activists almost never change their mind. The government could barge into their house, put their boot on their head and they'd go "Oh, this is a mistake, I'm one of the good guys, I'm not even angry, probably just some mistake."

We don't change those people's minds about who's racist or not. We culturally bottle them up, the same way people in Europe spent decades with that black sheep uncle or grand father or aunt who was super-pro Nazi in WW2, or was one, or was just very anti-Semitic, etc. It's not something we talk about now, but it was a trope for decades because so many families had one. Same thing is likely to happen here, no one's going to want Uncle Bob at the wedding because he's probably going to start bitching about how jews became white folk or some crazy shit.

I might agree with that. I haven't spent a bunch of time thinking about it, but I understand the logic and find it pretty fair overall but would need some limitations - I imagine if you try to convict an innocent man and the death penalty is the charge, I'm not sure I'd be down for giving the liar the death penalty.

On the other hand, you'd pretty much solve these kinds of problems pretty instantly if that was the case lol.

Just makes me think "Y'know, we could probably just do a better job educating people as children and inculcating decent morality along with a bit of a spine and most of this stuff goes away."

We'll see what happens. I don't pretend to know what will happen, just what should happen if we follow the law.

I don't agree with your second statement, but I would say it's uncomfortably close to the truth - there is a different set of rules in place currently despite the actual law and this must be stopped, on all fronts.

Incorrect. He should not hang.

Correct. He should be put on trial and found guilty, because if we follow the actual law he is guilty. The death penalty as far as I'm aware is not an option for the criminal act(s?) he committed.

That story isn't over, my friend :) Most people are so clueless and lost.

One of two things will happen: They'll uphold the verdict, in which case we're WAY close to some kind of major break OR it'll be tossed (between Waters and this guy). The closer it gets to that legal proceeding, the more focus on this guy, the more op-ed's, etc.

Looking back, or looking forward: this dude's massively racist and evil on the level of a raging totalitarian. The shame will be the original verdict, but the redemption arc is slapping it down.

I'll REALLY worry if they get away with it though. I think that'll break people who are a lot less mild and moderate than I am.

Nice try, Johan Libert! But I've read Monster! :)

I haven't see the Hurwitz one yet. But generally, I think what the rational and popular good thinkers who aren't blind (i.e: Peterson, Murray, etc.) Are purposefully going forward and not screaming bloody murder because it's already bad enough. We want them to stand up and punch back. The left putting 25k troops in DC wasn't because they were in danger - "we have power, FUCK YOU"

But mostly, I can see in Murray/Peterson's conversation, they were strongmanning positions from both sides, without a lot of rhetoric. I felt that was refreshing, because it also felt extremely clear to me - don't forget, people who watch those guys once, even a short clip, end up doing deep dives ;)

You and your dad? :)

I think you, and the person you were responding two are both incorrect.

I think both Murray and Peterson are major targets, and if they both stood up and swore the election was stolen, yeah, they wouldn't be around much longer. There's a very big push by the moderate people on both sides to go "Shhhhh we didn't start killing each other, pretend it's all normal and good, things are bad, but it's still normal and good and we're not strangling each other in the streets."

Both of them were quite good in what I've watched so far (about 40 minutes) and are accurately locating the problem without polarization - this is good, because normies will be able to understand it, and we're going to need their good will.

Posting this here, a) because I haven't posted in a while, B) because I'm pretty sure this touches on topics many here find important and hoping to have some good discussion on it :)

Thank you!!!! It just looked so bland. Make the site look nicer :) Your effort is appreciated.

This felt very, very bad. Like alarms should be going off in people's heads. The MSM doesn't report on things that are happening, ignores them, or gives them a couple minutes and puts an insane spin on it - but mostly they don't even report on it anymore, effectively censoring a political party and the actual sitting President of the United States.

But that's not enough for them, and now they have to start censoring anyone who disagrees, or has actual news? Even if it were the National fucking Enquirer, this is one of those history book moments of "Things got really bad when the main information transmission platform censored news and sitting politicians because they were ideologically biased."

Honestly, Bitchute or Rumble needs to step up their game, ASAP. All I see when I look at the Internet landscape these days is things splintering, making their own platforms, and now people are using them in small amounts, and growing on a regular basis. That didn't happen for years and years, maybe a decade or more? Before it was all about everyone using the same platforms: Youtube, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, Facebook. Now people are leaving all of those places.

OP: I've got a question - did you read it all? :)

To be fair, the problem was in the tweet itself, but it's also in the first screenshot, and in her follow up tweets: this didn't happen in Sask :) It was in Manitoba.

Just being a pedantic pain in the butt, especially if I'm wrong lol, just a reminder to all that it's good to read it all.

People don't like reality. Targaryens tend to go crazy. Long history of it. They couldn't realize they were cheering for the crazy person who just started out nice and not crazy. Not to mention the super duper extremely fucked up life she lived. They wanted her to overcome the madness that was in her family, the murder of her parents and family, going into exile as a tiny child, being essentially sold off, had assassin's after her, multiple friends betray her, being constantly around death and murdered people, etc... and nah, when it came down to doing the right thing, especially at King's Landing, ofc she just went all fucking nuts murdering people with her dragon, lighting them on fire. The fantasy was just that: they wanted their waifu to be the savior, and she was just like the rest of them (mostly :P).

Awwww. It's so neat for me to see that type of leftist working so hard to fill the demand for bigoted people they say exist. It's a market ;)

Oh, I absolute think that's believable. You don't want to dig into a lot of that shit. The really far left culture war types, the ones who like censorship and what not? If they find each other... well, mostly they don't hook up, but a good number of them do. Like, I all for not kink shaming up until a point. Take a look at certain parts of Twitter, and you'll see what their shit is like.

You know they'll never acknowledge that. "Trump's own 'Deep State'" in their parlance is "Trump imagined a Deep State fighting against him. Now he's building his own, to fight for him!"

Just wanted to say that's a pretty good and unique political analysis there. I don't know that you're perfectly correct, but that's several views I haven't seen before that look accurate and valid. Refreshing perspective :)

I don't agree with that perspective, but remember that your perspective is a bit biased here.

Maybe. I don't think it's the only option. People who feel there's a deep state, career bureaucrats who are appointed, various groups within the government, etc? Getting rid of those people should be a goal - the swamp has been swampy for a long time. Or, you cast them as law-abiding patriotic people who reject Herr Orange Man himself!? There's really not much space between that at the moment in this view of things. It's just two political parties trying to lock down power however they legally can. They both know where the levers of power lie, and they're trying to take control of as much as they can. This is a thing political parties have constantly done in the past all over the world - just that America's has been pretty dormant for a while, only really waking up in the past 5-6 years.

Agreed, this is why I'm not super interested in the nitty gritty details about each claim or whatever event comes up. These are clearly tactical maneuvers. I know that it seems like Trump may not win his lawfare effort, but enemy maneuvers tell me that he's hitting a fucking nerve. As with real war, the words aren't important, it's the behaviors and actions that are.

Eh, I do like knowing the details. I think they're going to be rather important in providing evidence and I think that evidence has a lot of use. Regardless of the outcome, when all the errors lean in one direction and the errors are so numerous as to be laughably obvious... it makes it very, very hard for people to not understand the system is corrupt. The details show you how they're corrupt though: some if it is basic illegal stuff, but other times it's just the people in a room being given instructions by a supervisor that is contrary to the law, or in a gray area. Some of it is the devices used to count the ballots, or people improperly using them. Those should all be investigated, and end up either in prosecutions or at the very least in swift legal changes that make sure those exact same things don't happen again.

I do think the optics are a weird thing. Is he hitting a nerve? I would go as far as to say it's practically 4D chess: Things changed after he Mueller Report. People gave it a fair shot, every time there was news, a new bombshell, etc. The idea that Trump could be compromised in some manner or had done something dubious didn't seem impossible. But that was a complete and total dud, because it was a crock of bullshit. Then came Kavanaugh, and fuck, the left was even more horrible there. Their credibility was already several broken by that point. Now, Trump's got his own legal investigations going on, pointing to all their bullshit and dragging more of it into the sunlight? Yeah, Trump's been hitting their nerve for a while and he's not letting up. It'd be really great to know exactly what's going on though lol, and see how right or wrong I am :(

A PA recount is unlikely - though I still like the idea if there's a way to pull it off. But drawing a line in the sand because the laws PA put in place were unconstitutional would be a good first step. I want the proof of the impropriety or voter fraud, I want the people involved to face criminal consequences in line with the law. If it's just "We cut off anything after Nov.3rd, 8PM, in PA." OK, that gives Trump the State - but it also lets off all the complicit people involved with ... "irregularities"

Demoralization is something that has to be fought against: Even if Trump pulls it off, even if he's got all the evidence in the world, on video, hell, even money payments to individuals who say they defrauded tens of thousands of votes... The left has already claimed victory that they haven't won. It'll be four years of "Trump stole the election, HE STOLE IT FROM US"

Either way, the next few years is looking like it'll be a shitshow of epic proportions never before seen in America. You want to see how Antifa / BLM / etc continue during a Trump 2nd term, you might get that chance. Or we might get to see anyone who voiced support or donated to Trump be cancelled from jobs, friendships, they're making lists very openly and publicly, calling for the Republican party to be burned down... The answer is not to be demoralized, be honest and truthful and stick to the law - because you know the left sure as hell won't. Tell the truth.

These people are the exact people who were the most susceptible to the five years of indoctrination by the media.

See, that's where my disagreement is. I understand the logic you employ that makes it more likely for you that specific demographic you listed as being one likely to only vote for Joe Biden.

Let's say that's true. That specific demographic decided only to vote for Joe Biden, but not any other candidate? Why? The ballot was in their hand, did they go "I don't know about these other people, so I'll just abstain from voting about them". Did they start caring enough to vote for Biden but not to touch anything else on the ballot? That seems a big stretch to me. I think it's more likely that the media and the cheating has a secondary effect: we really can't tell what happened. It may be way worse than I expect or you expect, or it may be less. But if I had to bet on it, I'd bet on it being cheating rather than the demographic you describe.

On the other hand, I've spoken to friends who take it for granted that Trump has raped children multiple times, straight faced and think anyone who doesn't believe it is crazy. Like I said, it's really hard to tell what's going on, lots of plausible theories. This is the kind of thing you get with mail in voting.

You're not seeing the counter narrative - which is "We've been #Resistance for 4 years. I'm not shocked those states were lost to Trump - I'm shocked even 1 state voted for him, you people are fucking Nazis" That's their sincere belief. They can't believe you'd think otherwise, it's SO clear to them that you're basically not a human. Remember, these are the people who talk about human rights.

There's no way this ends well. Neither side will accept the other side won by the rules. It just won't happen. The question is what happens from today ---> the next 4 years, whoever "wins".
