Yup - did it here, went from mountain dew, to double mountain dew then double mountain dew diet with half that calories :P (actually switched to diet mountain dew or coke zero). I lost about 10lbs then gained it back which didn't make sense to me because I was pulling at least 600 calories out of my daily diet. It wasn't until I switched to plain black coffee that I went on a steady decline in weight. (I had to do more than that long term but that's hard proof to me that the artificial sweeteners are still futzing around with the metabolism in some way)
I dunno... maybe it's something more subconscious. If you follow the standard western media "diet" you're forcefed a message of "men bad, women good" and, as a man without any strong father guidance to lead, you naturally subjugate your impulses because you don't want to make women feel bad for your nasty primal thoughts. Push that down far enough and it might make you want to abandon your "dark side" altogether and be part of the enlightened sex...
TL;DR - I got a star put on my belly and now I'm a Star Bellied Sneetch and that makes me the a good person!
FTM works on a similar concept except its self hating feminists who think they'll gain power if they just have a cock... Not even wondering about the MTFs who want to lose their cock for the SAME REASON.
TL;DRx2 - it's all mental delusion and sickness. "I'm in the wrong body is a nonsensical statement. You're in the only body you'll ever have and no matter how much plastic surgery you have... that won't change who you are internally!"
Good Lord the suck...
I just recalled what all this gay mafia trans garbage reminds me of... spoiled rotten children... and this scene from the Addams Family
This isn't losing the plot.
This is what communism DOES. Destroy the history of the old and call it evil so you can instill the new righteousness of communism.
It is EXACTLY what Mao did in China, what Hitler did to Germany, what Chavez did to Venezuela, what Castro did to Cuba... etc; etc;
Update to the post:
edit: The blocked site list, for those who have asked, is: breitbart.com, trunews.com, churchmilitant.com, lifesitenews.com, lepantoinstitute.org There are other sites on the list that I think are either related to blog abuse, commercial spam, or pornography, and we also ban Russian state media. We banned Breitbart because someone posted a convincing article about its white supremacist ties, TruNews because Rick Wiles is an antisemite, and the last three because they were complicit in the doxxing (released home address) of a gay church school employee.
But they’ll allow pro-Palestine sites im sure
The movie was Time After Time and was Nicholas Meyers’ first movie… his second movie would be Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan.
Wells’ love interest in the movie was Mary Steenburgen! (Talk about typecasting!)
Otherwise - yeah, Wells was very socialist and happily supported “imperialism and colonialism” because at the time that was how you civilized the savages and brought them to the light of humanity.
What you’re seeing here is communist revisionism - like denying Hitler was socialist because it destroys their entire ideology to see what their utopian ideals yield… every, single, time.
Leftists don't even believe in the hippocratic oath anymore (if they ever did). These are the same people that want to deny healthcare to people they don't like in the name of tolerance! (but nooo - they're not racist or bigoted!)
One addendum here - you see this behavior/attitude a LOT with the "highly educated" (college level), even in STEM fields but not the blue collar fields. Hands on practical knowledge vs book learning seems to be the difference here (Because hands on knowledge like plumbing, car mechanics, HVAC, requires cutting through the BS). My career path took me to the cutting edge of technology dev where the bureaucracy, at the time, had no answers. (TL;DR - even though I was in a STEM computer field, I had to get my hands dirty at the lower OS levels and even the chip level in some cases and quickly learned that most bureaucracy/documentation was BS - "Ok, heres what your white paper and documentation SAY... but here's what it's actually DOING! Thus I couldn't trust "the orthodoxy" - What really grind my gears in the number of people that get burned by "the orthodoxy" in the tech field and then KEEP BELIEVING IT and then the liberal arts types can't even question the orthodoxy because there's little hard data to counter it (besides things like sales figures which are easily waived away - see Disney...)
I’ve encountered the same things with friends who have masters degrees. The great majority of people in the world do NOT think for themselves. They just pick the narrative that coincides with their world view or social status - contradictions and all.
You see it in the churches and religious debates and it’s where the r/atheists think themselves so smart because they decided they don’t need a sky daddy… and then promptly adopt the “religion” of shitlibs.
I’ve called a few out on that (back when I cared) and pointed out that they’ve just traded one orthodoxy system for another and aren’t thinking independently … ooo they did not like that one bit.
You definitely popped his brainwashing cap and as soon as you got him questioning the orthodoxy he realized he wasn’t “of the body” anymore and had to make a definitive break from you so he could consider himself back in the group. (I know coz I did it myself way back when) You could try making a conciliatory gesture “sorry man, wasn’t trying to make you uncomfortable” but it’s probably best to just let it lay. Especially if he now thinks you’re “one of them”
Hey, eh, you be riling up the people by, eh, showing dem the truth there… I uh… ima gonna haveta arrest ya, there.
