She wants the benefits of a based, traditional dude, but is embarassed of what he will say at parties. He might make her look right wing by proxy. That's all she's thinking about. How he will seem to her friends.

Seriously let's get to the burn it all down part faster, so we can start building again. Every institution is irreparably infested. Let's force the useful idiots to make the most ridiculous defenses possible, so the normies can no longer deny how fucked things are.

Live Free or Die. It's kind of clunky, but just a fun read. Earth gets introduced to the greater galactic bureacracy, and has to adapt, mostly with violence. Some interesting philosphy in it (not dry at all) that relates to so much that's going on today.

Consider Phlebas and Player of Games by Iain M. Banks. Both in the same setting, but you don't have to read them in any order. Consider Phlebas is a space opera/adventure. Lots of AI, action, kind of a relatable anti-hero main character. Player of Games, I'll ruin it by giving a brief synopsis, but it's a smart dude, being manipulated to accept a diplomatic mission on the other side of the galaxy. All to find a larger challenge, allieve the boredom in his life. He's somewhat unlikeable, but you grow to respect him. The way Banks describes the tournament, this game so complex you cannot even fathom it (no human can) keeping it vague enough that you can enjoy it, but also complex enough that it makes interesting conflict. Anyhow it's a fucking great book.

Luckily there are endless shots, pills, and inhalers that the newly weakened can purchase. Keeping them in the pharma system forever. Or until some combo drops a blood clot in their feeble brains.

Considering the Rey and Rose Tico figures never sell, like most female action figures before them in pop culture history. I'm wondering how badly these things sell?

Also, Blizzard is long dead. It's all low skill activist employees now, lead by product managers who don't know shit about games, only monetization schemes.

Canada is 70% white, 4% black. But they want to make it 50%+ minority in leadership. Ok. Makes sense..

People are so checked out / unawares due to shit corporate media, they are just gonna let it happen. Canadians feeling 'huwhite guilt' is hilarious and sad. Shake it off, retards.

Demand Tolerance is now Demand Celebration. Soon it will be moved to Demand Worship.

Always how the sex cults go in history. This is some Slaanesh level shit right here.

It is a good natural barrier. Like comic books had. Only the hardcore fans were buying all of the variants and special editions. It's just eventually an ideologue will get ahold of their social media, or their HR gets overrun, and all of a sudden the fans are toxic. They'll pander to the social media audience that doesn't buy product, and think because they get retweets and feel virtuous that it's worth it.

Slowly to exponentially accelerating they'll start fucking with the lore to get more and more clicks, while their audience quietly walks away from the hobby. Then some suit who wasn't paying attention lies to cover up poor quarterly numbers, and puts out a full media blast about 'We wont stand for hate!" As if that will convince lost customers into coming back and buying more Landraiders.

*For the record, I hope none of that happens.

How are they gonna handle the trans lobby fighting with the feminists? I'm thinking this law only protects a certain kind of feminist. (the soy and dick owning). Not that I have a great love of feminists.. It's amazing to watch them get out-progressive stacked by It's Ma'ams.

It's just one of those things where if we don't stop shit now, it's gonna keep getting worse. Enemy of my enemy and all that.

I mean.. even the Muslim shit is just kicking the can down the road. It's not like they aren't gonna bring the stones from Lybia with them. They are gonna start smashing the T's, and the media .. well. We know who they will side with, but they'll make sure to report it in an insane way. Huwhite Supreme man, named Mohammed al Hassan, blew up a T parade. Sources say he had obvious neo Nazi ties.

They swarm what is popular at the moment, and leech it dry until it's no longer viable to sustain their endless hunger for cultural vandalism. We gotta revive lodges and male spaces. Gaming halls, and smaller conventions. Then gatekeep the shit out of it while we train people how to notice these patterns. The internet is amazing, but it helped destroy true fan/hobby/social spaces.

It's like the tourists that are invading 40K at the moment. This hobby that's been around for 40+ years? Oh yah, it's gotta change to suit me. They weaponize tolerance/empathy to force regressive changes. Weaker minded fans fall for it, and glom on, not wanting to look like a grognard. We gotta teach people it's ok to gatekeep your hobby. They're never gonna learn on their own, or they would already notice the pattern established from live game chat, gamergate, WoW, comicsgate, Twitch, Harry Potter, etc.

Yeah that cover would most definitely outsell the Arpil cover. Even with the AI gibberish text.

It's the leftist 'smugly' face. It's everywhere in marketing now. Especially in comic books. I don't know the purpose behind it, but it's everywhere. There's a meme genre about it.

I think female writers think it's strength/empowerment. Because dudes learned long ago this face gets you punched, but .. well equal rights and all that haven't really kicked in yet.

Look up the TMNT 'Arpil O'niel' typo comic book cover. Yah they actually printed it "Arpil'. That's how competent Heather Antos is as an editor. One of the original Smuglies. You'll see the expression on 'Arpil' and recognize it's on so much other shit right now.

I'm hazily remembering a suicide problem at an Apple factory, so much so that they put up nets. I think in the last few years there's been more and more strikes. As so many more tech factories are concentrated in China / Taiwan now, the workers have better options. It's tough to get people to work for 14 hours a day 7 days a week, if Motorola lets them have cushy 10 hrs a day, 6 days a week just a block over.

More random thoughts: This sector is harder to relocate, because the chip marke needs so many smaller, less sophisticated layers to supply the top shit. You can't just make a (for lack of a better term) level 4 chip factory / finished product assembly in a new country with cheaper labor. You need specialized serfs, and a huge supply of level 3 tech, which needs even more L2 and L1 tech.

So.. the solution? Move people to China as scabs. If they take over low skill sectors, that's ok, because it will drive more Chinese into the tech slave sector.

Why wont they accept our nonsense words and concepts! If you are losing an argument, simply make up new terms like Gender Affriming Care or My Truth, and instantly you are no longer accountable and your opponent is a fascist.

I feel like they must be really low IQ in Japan if they can't understand this concept. It worked out so well for the USA.

Why not these days? You get a free pass. The corporate media will crucify anyone who harms a kang. Unless it's just so egregious they can't spin it, then they'll just bury it. Either way local DA will make sure you walk out same day. Police bureacracy responds to press pressure, so they don't go hard in D town.

I wonder if it's more like, these China workers are starting to demand more pay. We gotta import some desert people who will make iPhones for half wage.

Something simliar happened in India. The call center cities, started to creep up in cost per worker. So they start ramping up Malaysia, Indonesia, etc. Probably because nobody is gonna immigrate to India, but that's a different matter I guess.

Long have the people of the proud Dindu nation suffered under the tyranny of The Kek. Rise up Dindu! Claim your reparations in the form of sneakers, LED screens, and fortified wine! Large mansions await your high priestesses! You need only fill their coffers with pungent virtue.

Accelerationism under the guise of empathy. It'll make a huge problem, so they can sell an even worse solution, for The Greater Good. If you aren't willing to make some new sacrifice, well, you're a fascist.
