LOL I used to teach in Korea and I had this batshit insane woman one year... she was a total incompetent fuckup but one instance is still indelible in my hippocampus

Morning meeting: "Hey, when we have foreign teachers in rooms at the end of the day, make sure you're not finishing too early. Parents watch on CCTV and want to see a full class time"

My class, at the end of the day, is interrupted by her with 10 minutes left to yell at me about not having the kids ready. I'm confused but stop what I'm doing and get them ready to leave.

She then realizes her clock was fast or broken and they had 5 minutes left and tried to tell me to get the kids out of their coats and backpacks and go teach them for 5 more minutes.

Batshit insane micromanagement.

Other way around - women in the workplace are almost entirely to blame for declining marriage and birth rates.

For some people that's not an easy thing to admit or acknowledge. It doesn't mean that the small percentage of women with more male brains who want to work and actually pull their weight should be absolutely barred from achieving whatever they can achieve... but most women would be happier and more fulfilled raising families.

Women, by and large, make terrible leaders. Easy to control, and always able to manipulate biological instincts to put a "friendly face" on crises.

If the Biden "administration" is any indicator, this is the new strategy of the globalists - the leaders are just scapegoats and PR figures for the people who really do the work.

I imagine this is especially true in NY state after Cuomo.

From personal experience every female boss I've had has been absolute shit more worried about how things look than how they are. They'll keep shining a turd as long as it takes to keep from accountability.

As someone else said: university sinking into the woke abyss isn't shocking or newsworthy. This shit has been running rampant in the debt factories for decades now.

I remember last year driving through rural Colorado -- we drive through... either Wiley or Lamar and saw their school mascot is the "Savages" -- they clearly don't give a fuck.

Relatively simple, actually:

I went to graduate school for Sociology of all things (very expensive red pill, don't recommend), but I met the real hardcore feminists -- the Andrea Dworkins of a new age.

It's a completely separate case for the ones who studied it and knew better -- I think this is all a perversion of human biopsychology, and both the feminists and TheRedPill have more or less cracked the code.

Anyone who in any way shape or form knew the biological mechanisms that were being manipulated? Crimes Against Humanity.

Anyone else? Eh, they'll feel differently when the media tells them to.

Ah, right. I think I generally agree with you -- but I disagree broadly it's intentional.

You keep doing what you're doing -- I don't think you're wholly wrong. I just think most can be saved because they're mostly 'following along.' If the TV told them to get married and make babies tomorrow, that would start to be the cultural norm.

EDIT: to add: the powers that be would love to use women's inequality as a shield to advance their agenda -- I think you and I can agree on that point

I... actually don't disagree. Your reputation precedes you, but I don't disagree on that point.

To be a Korean husband is to be emasculated at every turn.

(Also I'll just let it be known I know you by name but have no idea what you constantly argue)

My wife is not Korean hahaha -- I swore off Korean women long before I got on Tinder in Korea.

In truth I was looking for a fling, but I found someone much more invested in a strong family structure.

1. Taught there for 5 years -- meant it to be a one-year "clear my head" excursion and couldn't get enough.

2. Korean women... eh I dated a few. Both were crazy in completely different ways. I swore myself off of the dating game with Korean women because I didn't want to play 'the game' in Korea. I had a lot of chemistry with the head Korean teacher one year, but it never went anywhere because it could never go anywhere. My meeting my wife strained the relationship but she's moved on and married and we're friends again.

3. I thought I had a Chinese friend one time in Korea (we were both in the same Korean 학원 -- I really did try to get initiated with the culture) -- thought it might even turn into something. But alas, that wasn't what she was after and -- ultimately we only had our terrible Korean language skills in common.

4. Wife is Filipina -- she was getting her PhD in Daegu and had designs on America. I didn't help her get here (she for sure earned that on her own merits) but it helped that our lives were in some kind of similar path (I knew I needed to head home and had the 2019 Trump Optimism going... ugh, now I wish I was back in Korea, but I digress)

I didn't say I married an American. I got extremely lucky and found someone who resonated with me from the Philippines. Still has that love of God and a great family -- lord knows they've welcomed my extremely white and awkward ass.

But to your implied point: I was dreading that coming back to America from Korea. American women are, generally put, not a great source of marital material. Thought I'd get involved with a church and assumed I'd just never marry.

Fair point and question, though.

Fun fact of my life: I was on Tinder for all of 3 days and met my wife.

Caveat: It was in korea, which made it the only reliable option for expats. My wife (not american fwiw) was a phd student in Daegu, and both of us were happy to delete the app after a great first date.

Other side of the coin: I watched some American girls in Seoul use Tinder while we shared a taxi from work. Watched them mindlessly swipe left 50 times, then bitch that the radius was only 250km or whatever. They would only stop for obviously hot guys and even then they were more likely than not to swipe left. Blew my mind seeing female hypergamy in action.

All feminists have a plan until they have a shriveled up raisin dick in their face.

I'm sure it wouldn't amuse him, but I ended up here in part due to reading some of Richard Dawkin's books. The one of his driving ideas that genes don't care about good or bad, only useful or harmful, can be applied to ideas, to memes. It doesn't matter if religion is true or not, it matters if it is useful or harmful. And I'm at the point now where I view it as a useful falsehood, a valuable set of memes.

God damn, I never thought of Dawkins that way (The God Delusion was one of my first nonfiction books after hitting my teens) -- but it's a great point and kind of describes where I'm at.

If you were to wander over to reddit to sift through the various drama threads, you'd find anyone referring to him as a he as a transphobe.

That's really par for the course for Reddit.

Dwarves, hobbits, halflings, Leprechauns, Pixies, Sprites, and Nymphs (both forest and water) deserve representation

eh, it's something that works both ways. I'm sure there are things my wife would say yes to that I'd say no to (it's just that generally men are bigger risk takers).

Especially in this case where it sounds like your dad knew your mom's "no" wasn't from experience but perception. That's totally fine and you have to know your spouse.

What I'm referring to is the child's perspective: looking for approval or a rubber stamp of approval.

But also -- who could hate dogs?

OP, I feel you (I'm reading your other comments as though this is related to you personally) -- I broke away from this bullshit when it was still mostly just in Universities, and I didn't care to miss the 'friends' that I'd lose in the process.

There's nothing you could have done to save your friend. You need to rest assured in that. I don't doubt that she was groomed, but it sounds like she moved when she was an adult, so at the end of the day... she's an adult and made decisions.

The ideology we're talking about here is insidious. You now know better than most how true that is.

Funny story to illustrate how correct you are:

https://patriots.win/p/140vt1eNJI/lmao-never-date-sjw-women/ This link from a month or so ago -- woman posted on reddit about how she dumped her boyfriend because he's pureblooded and she's never dumped anyone before and needed to get that affirmation.

Then I found this:

Thank you. I originally posted in r/relationships and had so many people telling me that I was being unreasonable (ended up deleting that post). I should have come here first.

Classic woman behavior. In fact, in this instance it's classic children behavior: mom said no ice cream after dinner so I asked dad and he said yes.

Because deep down most people know (or at least suspect) that they're going down the wrong path and engaging in socially degenerate behaviors.

People going to church and otherwise engaging in socially progenerative behaviors are generally still experiencing social mobility, good family structure, and generally good mental well-being.

I am not a perfect person, and I have my vices -- but at least I don't lie to myself about them (or at least try not to). Liberals, in my experience, take the cognitive dissonance (is this a good thing to do? Is this a smart decision? etc) and seek out people who will reassure them that their conscience is wrong (and is probably part of some white-supremacist system of patriarchy or something).

Girls and young women are especially susceptible to this line of thinking.

I don't get along with most atheists because they're overwhelmingly liberal

Because they've replaced the moral framework religion provided with another moral framework tied in with their atheism and their politics.

Maybe it's as simple as this: humans need something bigger than themselves to believe in. How many people do you know personally that are just as 'religious' as a typical Christian (or more, even) about their atheism.

In these cases, what framework exists is pretty much hedonism and/or nihilism. If there's nothing bigger than us, then nothing we do matters.

Now, here's the biggest problem: the moral decay that I refer to is obviously bigger than a group of atheists. How many "liberal" christian sects are completely and irrevocably cucked? Look at how many denominations stand for absolutely nothing (looking at you, United Church of Christ).

Even the Catholic church is guilty of this. I grew up going to Catholic schools (even though I was not) and I really do like the ritual nature of the Catholic Mass (Hey, at least I feel like I'm participating in something with structure, right?) -- but the current Pope is actively destroying the church by diminishing the structures, the rituals, and the codes. It's all connected.

That's just where I'm at. I'm not going to pressure you to do anything differently - we're both on the same road trying to find the same answers and I wish you the best of luck.

I used to be an atheist. I still don't go to church (though the wife and I should), but I don't describe myself as an atheist.

One of the big realizations I've had in the past 10 years (the span between edgy atheist teen and cynical 30-something) is this: while I don't need a church to have a conscience and morals (something I assume is true for you as well), there's a LOT of people in this world who DO need that framework.

I am very reluctant to sound like a priest or pastor, because I am definitely neither or those things -- but look at the degeneracy around us. Look at the lives people are living that will leave the next generation worse off than ours. Look at the hedonism, the nihilism, and the apathy. These are not pillars on which to build or maintain a society.

So yeah, I believe there's some sort of God out there -- not because I am trying to curry favor or get in to heaven, but because I think a society-wide moral framework is important. That may sound incongruous to you -- probably because it is.

I'm still working on it - I just see a lot in this comment and the comment above it that make me think you're kind of in the same mental vortex I was in for a while.

I told my pro-choice mother and her friends at the start of all this:

"If you really believe in my body, my choice, you need to be on the front lines of this."

Because when the other shoe falls, and abortion is outlawed under the same flimsy reasoning "oh it's a public health crisis" then I will have no sympathy for the screeching hordes.

Granted, I was never going to have any sympathy anyway -- but at least I can point out the hypocrisy before they use it against me.

He's thinking bigger, like the Oompa Loompa in Tim Burton and Johnny Depp Ruin A Movie

God I miss Ralphie May. I wish he didn't eat himself to death - he was one of the funniest people I've ever seen.

He'd have a lot to say on this topic.
