Overcompensating for youthful edginess is extremely common motivation among radical trannifa types of a certain generation. Dominion's Eric Coomer is one of these types too - in his case, a former 'anti-racist skinhead' or SHARP, in an 80s/90s punk subculture that was seeing a nationalist resurgence. It was often said that if you scratch a SHARP you'll uncover a hastily concealed nazi tattoo. Platner seems young for all that, but it's probably a similar psychological journey. This is supposedly him on reddit
In the metal scene a few years back there was a grievance farmer called Daniel Gallant, described in the news as 'former Canadian skinhead turned activist'. His trick was to take his top off in front of musicians and then try to get them cancelled later if they didn't react with sufficient shock to his large tattooed swastika. These weasels are among the most nauseating commies you can find. They have no core to their souls other than the need to be fanatical in the cause of something, even if their fanaticism amounts to nothing more than a pathetic, performative, belated penance.
I guess it's a similar but starker example of the phenomenon where journos and games industry types, who freely joked about fags and trannies in the 2000s, somehow became the most devoted woke allies post-gamergate.
In my own case, aforementioned friend gave me her amazon login so I can just listen to any of her purchased library, but that's the legal way. If you want to keep your access within the bounds of legality and proper respect for copyright, I hear you should by no means ever visit foul sites like 'audiobookbay' or similar. No sirree.
I'm relistening to DCC Book 2 audiobook now, having finished the series to date at Book 7. It was a friend's recommendation and I was very unsure at first, getting strong reddit vibes, but by the crazy ending of Book 2 it was pointless pretending that it hadn't won me over. Carl himself, his basedness and frustration with the whole scenario, is the glue which holds the narrative together and it's what is too conspicuously absent from any other isekai-type or videogame-world story I've encountered. I've gone as far as saying it basically solves these genres. What could come across as ideological messaging, through the game AI's satirising of earth customs, has a shield of plausible deniability since Carl himself hates the game and dismisses all the constructed scenarios as bullshit alien propaganda.
It's also impressive how the author manages to keep increasing the stakes and scenarios from one seemingly inescapable situation to the next. It only gets nuttier as it goes on.
If audiobooks count, I got through all of Dan Abnett's mainline Eisenhorn, Ravenor and Bequin books plus a few of the shorts, about the adventures and tribulations of certain inquisitors in the WH40k universe. As someone not very familiar with 40k, it's interesting to be following a group of characters who operate largely in the civilian plebeian level of intrigue, without the backing of power armour and titans and such, to the extent that the appearance of an actual space marine in the story tends to be a major event which disrupts the power balance. Abnett's good at making these low level events tie into massive schemes which dictate the fate of whole systems, as well as putting a nice note of cosmic horror into his warp-related descriptions.
An unfortunate side effect is that I've somehow become less interested in the grander scale violence of 40k as a result. I tried listening to one of his books about titans and bounced right off. A friend recommended I listen to or read (the latter is unlikely these days) the Gaunt's Ghosts series as a middle ground.
I read My Name is Red about 20+ years ago now, funny to see it namedropped here. Can't remember much about it except the subversive nature of new usages of art and colour in Ottoman Turkey...? And something about it making me want lots of coffee. I remember it being intriguing anyway.
The central point he's replying to is a guy saying high-powered women exec types are not very attractive, which is true. The two of them take this and somehow use it to stumble into false points, like 'waitresses are better' vs 'akshully upper middle class men prefer upper middle class women', when the debate should be about how feminism has ruined all women, which I think the original point comes closer to addressing.
You can't tell me that upper-middle-class men are comfortable making a move on womanbosses when HR departments and 'power imbalances' have become a thing that can ruin your life and career after a word from her. What 'culture' does he think is instilled into an empowered working woman, who headhunts wealthy men, that isn't further served by a nice big lucrative divorce? Like, yes I'm sure many waitresses see the world that way too, but why pretend the execs aren't even more cutthroat. Both pools are fucked, that's the point.
Guys, I'm starting to think we were bamboozled all along with this 'violence is never the answer', thing. It's Islam's only answer to anything yet they're somehow never in the wrong.
Not a peep from him when muslims enforce temp bans on British whites in the same city.
When the buyout was in the offing and Musk Derangement Syndrome was really taking shape for the first time, Dorsey came out and said he thinks Twitter will be in good hands with Musk. They will simply never forgive or forget that terrible heresy.
I know the frustration, friendo, I still consume a lot of artificial sweeteners, but recently I discovered that sucralose may contribute to a permeable intestine/leaky gut.

At high concentrations, aspartame and saccharin induce apoptosis and cell death, while at low concentrations, sucralose and aspartame increased epithelial barrier permeability and down-regulated claudin 3 at the cell surface.
You aren’t Charlie Kirk. You will never be as big and as impactful as he was.
This is so hilariously disingenuous. Part of the reason Kirk's death was so shocking was his comparative inoffensiveness. Ask anyone for a shortlist of people on the right who might be murdered for their politics completely out of the blue and Matt Walsh would have been way ahead of Kirk on every metric.
These people are scum trying to mask their hatred of Walsh behind a performative 'Saint Charlie' tall-poppy style myth, as if everyone knows Kirk was too good for this world and people like him are always the first to go.
Imagine my surprise that it's another 'based' non-white conservative infiltrator, or perhaps his wife going rogue on the smartphone.
The worst part is that if you listen to their conversation, it seems that it's not retirement which is the thing that bothers him, since he said to Del Bigtree that coming under fire wouldn't scare him because he was close to retirement anyway. Instead it's the nature of the retirement that bothers him and that it wouldn't be comfy enough for him at this point in time.
Edited convo:
Zervos: "I'd like to just, you know, finish out my work doing international work."
Bigtree: "You said 'I'm all about the data and I'm about to retire anyway', that's literally what you said. So your energy's definitely changed on that..."
Zervos dabbing mouth: "Energy's changing."
It's an exchange at 1h09m8s in the docu. What does late career 'international work' mean for a doc like this? Guess he's saying he doesn't want to be cut out of the NGO gravy train? Can't be part of Bill Gates' great schemes to vaxx the third world if you're a famous antivaxxer, after all.
The premise of the docu is that after years of being told that a comprehensive comparison of vaxxed and unvaxxed children can't be performed for ethical reasons, Del Bigtree (ICAN, HighWire) finally got somebody within the medical establishment to agree to a retrospective cohort study, comparing medical outcomes between groups. The only condition of Bigtree's was that whatever the study showed, the authors promised to publish what they found.
Well the study was completed and shows vastly increased rates of chronic illness among the vaccinated children. The lead author of the study, one Marcus Zervos of the Henry Ford clinic, is a vaccine proponent and likely did not expect it to produce the results it did. Once the study was complete, he refused to publish it officially because, as he states in a secretly filmed conversation, he fears for his career and because 'I'm not a good person'. Bigtree and his organisation are now being sent cease and desists from the Henry Ford clinic for defamation, unless they retract this very documentary about the study. It premiered at the Malibu Film Festival and online yesterday. Please share it with any normies it might influence.
As someone who's followed a lot of Highwire stuff, it doesn't reveal too much that's new for me, plus in my opinion Del spends too long burying the lede for the uninitiated, because he knows he's sitting on powerful ammunition. However once it brings everyone up to speed, the footage secretly filmed at dinner with Marcus Zervos is very damning and revealing. Zervos considers it a good study, an important one, the best that could be done as things stand... he agrees with Del about the issues - but he has agreed (with somebody) not to publish it because he doesn't want to be hounded, because he thinks it wouldn't change anything and because he's weak and 'got too many other things to worry about'. Which in turn means the story is much bigger than Marcus Zervos alone and it reveals that everything Bigtree says is true, about scientific cover ups and their willingness to publish if the study had shown the opposite results.
It also fits with how Zoe Quinn, bisexual bpd whore addicted to helldump (goon subforum adjacent to FYAD), was able to call in so many favours getting half the internet censored during gamergate, including the reddit comments graveyards and mass censorship on 4chan.
This.
Asmongold has urged creators to block viewers who donate large sums of money for their own safety
This is a good way to get killed even quicker unless you at least give all the money back first.
That's fine and all mrphillipchan, but don't con yourself that you can mod the feminism out of a Sucker Punch game, any more than you can mod the dick out of Hans' ass in KCD2.
Sucker Punch do actually understand what their audience likes in many respects, which is how they were able to be so insidious with the original Ghost of Tsushima. It is in many ways a more competent fantasy depiction of Japan than Rise of the Ronin which I'm playing right now, in the open world aspect alone. Sucker Punch know for example that gaming is full of unabashed weebs who want to be a cool samurai, run around a stylised version of japan with nice graphics, climb vertiginous temple complexes, stroke furry foxes, bow to the honoraburru dead, pretend they watch B&W samurai movies, etc. and so they gave them all that, to a high level of competency.
This unfortunately blinded gamers to all the blatant feminism: every woman ugly, henpecked protagonist doing everything an angry woman wants, a dozen girlbosses, lesbians and gays, two fat BBWs starring in the mongol invasion on opposite sides, the complete absence of female grunt enemies despite their lopsided presence as named badasses, absence of female accountability, all the men exclusively being weak/cruel/naive, the worthlessness of tradition except for temples being colourful climbing frames, the lack of any question of heterosexual romance in the main narrative despite the fact that Jin is meant to continue his uncle's legacy... And so Yotei being what it is comes as a betrayal only to some (and fwiw that social media photo of all the women in the dev team, captioned 'Ghost of Yotei', is from 2018).
So I think we're at a stage that the propaganda just becomes more insidious the more competent a dev is and the better they understand gamers. I'm fine with them misunderstanding us, so that they go bankrupt quicker. I actually don't think it balances out if a company gives me a fun experience which understands my desires well in one respect - raking in the normie bucks - if they're simultaneously trying to shoehorn their ideological agenda in behind my enjoyment. When it comes to a game like that I think one should pirate it at most (which is what I did for Tsushima). I actually paid for Disco Elysium, in contrast, although I wouldn't do so nowadays - at least those guys admitted they're hardcore commies and my money went towards nothing but the comedic collapse of their studio.

OMFG this occasionally imperfect internet service is a perfect example of American VIOLENCE
Stupid dog, how dare you try to sneak out of your donation mascot corner, it hasn't been 4 hours yet BZZZT
listen to her she's such a BABY
It would be self-parody even without the animal torture.
She wouldn't have been so specific at saying 5'3" if this wasn't true. She would just finish her dumb spiritual point about inner size by saying 'he looks small' or something.
But she randomly picks out 5'3" as a size to laugh at because she knows, and we know, that at some point she's seen a short guy and thought 'hahaha omg he looks about 5'3"', and remembered that measurement and that feeling of mirth.

Blair is a demon among demons.
The only people who really stand to benefit especially from the deaths of these centrist cuck types are the far right, but only in the context of the ostensibly killer being part of a group we oppose Which is why so much has been done by the controlled op "right" to control the narrative and reinforce the position, otherwise more would be radicalized to our views.
This is exactly what I suspect is happening, but even allowing for the possibility that there were other forces involved in Kirk's shooting, the aftermath involved massive swathes of the American left revealing themselves to be pretty cool with it happening. Obviously the overwhelming amount of them are reddit slacktivists who won't do shit, except to children, but I believe they serve as a culturing medium for a tiny but scalable core of crazies/trannies who will do shit, even to people as middle-of-the-road as Charlie Kirk was. Those crazies now know they have a team of cheerleaders millions strong. However unlikely it was for someone like Kirk to be targeted, as a phenomenon it is slightly more likely now than it should have seemed to anyone before September 10.
So I think this movement that urges the continuation of the Kirk campus chats is either a bunch of chickenhearted soft men living in denial of the political landscape or else, in the case that Robinson is a patsy, an orchestration of forces trying to soothe their angry golem. And I speculate that without knowing if they consider their golem to be the right, the left or the US itself in general.
It's difficult to disagree. The level of demoralisation they show makes me gag.
"I'm so self-sacrificial and brave in my cause! So much so, that I'll argue and plead with you to acknowledge my right to not be murdered. If I'm lucky, I won't be murdered for this trespass. If I'm really lucky, a portion of you might kinda sorta agree that I maybe shouldn't be murdered. What a triumph for cooler heads prevailing, onto the next enemy territory!"
If you're literally going to stick your life on the line in this climate, at least do it with the expectation of some glory, not this crawling cuck shit.
He went out with bulletproof shielding at the very least. It's still an incredibly retarded thing to do, see how overlooked they are by windows and roofs.
I don't know what these retards think they are proving. 'Watch how I destroy those who have given up any pretense of factuality or logic with FACTS AND LOGIC'...? If any young conservative emulates Crowder and co's gimmick then gets shot, they will have blood on their hands.
Doesn't need to be planted, vested interests can piggyback existing personalities in the same way the Israel lobby thought they could piggyback on Kirk while he was alive. Above all, I can think of no good reason why anyone's response to the Kirk killing would be to start a 'prove me wrong!' type tour, which is what these guys' new Fearless Debates thing is. Either they're retards trying to get themselves (or their copycats) shot, or they're nudgers trying to generate a load of 2020-style BLM-bait in an attempt convince Americans that they're back in 2020 and not 2025, post-Kirk.
Funnily enough I just realised their tour name Fearless Debates has a lot of relevance to a recent bugbear of mine, which is this: 'Fearless' is a worthless word which undermines the value of 'courage'. Simple minds are fearless, the train nigger was fearless as he stomped around boasting to the air and expecting a reward for murdering a white girl. Conservatives absolutely should fear going out and mimicking Charlie Kirk right now, it's retardation or else just evil to suggest otherwise. But those with courage can continue to act in the service of their values, in spite of their legitimate fears.
It's just that going out and getting yourself shot like Kirk, or persuading others to do similar by example, is a terrible stupid value. Might be fearlessness, but who cares. If it's courage, it's courage in the service of conservacuckery incarnate.
