That's one thing the team is working on -- originally it was just P.Win and then the other .wins sprung off from there. There should be a tab at the top of the screen with some generic communities
There's also https://communities.win/c/all which can be hit or miss given how small some communities are. No, they're not separate websites but they look like they are given the drastic theme changes from one to another.
There's a lot of potential here, truthfully.
I assume I'm like most here -- most of my primary engagement these days comes on the .wins, but there are a couple small communities I still frequent on Spezzit. One of them is /r/KotakuInAction2 which I'm sure is about to get banned, too, but at least we have here.
And we don't need to worry about offending the reddit trannies.
Nah, I'm of the mind no one should do this shit.
I know I'm probably in a minority with that... I just don't want to stoop to the level of my enemies. I still think it's very possible to be better than that.
34 here. Thankfully married and working on the family bit... but I just wanted to say "extended, aimless adolesence" is a perfect description.
At the end of the day, I don't disagree with you.
But let's fight the battles of today before we fight tomorrow's tomorrow's battles, okay?
"they mean nothing" is simply postmodernism distilled down through someone incapable of understanding postmodernism.
...not that there's anything worth learning in postmodernism -- it's just "they mean nothing" is the kind of inane shit you say when you don't understand the thesis.
I just can't agree with that because this has been in the works for so long. I swear I saw a preview for it back in 2019.
I didn't think Bob was simping for Phoenix. He is just as much of a nerd as a TOP GUN pilot can be (hence the name and the demeanor).
He was clearly on the "Rooster" side of the factioning, even before Rooster was introduced.
Feminist mothers who like the smell of their own period farts.
If you want a serious answer - no there is no evolutionary benefit.
What we are seeing are humans socially devolving because we have destroyed their families, destroyed their schools and communities, and made them dependent on the government.
This started with inner city blacks. Its not going to end there. Whites are reaching critical mass of single parents, too. Once their grandparents' wealth is gone and they are in the dependent underclass itll be the same from there.
Their utopian ideas aren't working and people aren't interested, so the new tack is "I am unhappy because other people don't share my suicidal-utopian dreams"
My one criticism is that we all know it would be spelled Meghan
Postmodernism, which undercuts most non-STEM academic departments nowadays, is the leading cause of losing touch with Truth among young people.
Intellectually, it's like jumping into the deep end of the pool without learning to swim.
I don't blame Marx as much as I blame Foucault. Postmodernism is a cousin to nihilism (as you said) and more and more I think Foucault's "philosophy" was an ex post facto rationalization for his depravity.
I assume he was fucking tanked. I highly doubt the police in that area would arrest him (and trigger the ensuing shitstorm) unless they had no choice.
Interesting that no details on his BAC have been released as far as I've seen.
I'm picturing Wolf of Wall Street on the holy grail Ludes.
This is kind of the beauty of Trump, though -- what you just described is kind of untenable.
What, do we think Antifa and the Pink Hat brigade will just fade into the night if Trump gets elected again? Even if the establishment was on board with your theory (and I don't think you're wrong, FWIW), the far left is still a rabid dog that is off the leash.
What are the Dems going to do about the fact they've 'fortified' their cities so much that lunatics like AOC, Omar, Jayapal, Bush, etc. will never lose in their districts? The Dem establishment hates the Progressive Caucus as much as we do at this point, but they have no way to bring them to heel.
And now with psycho-pharmaceuticals too. I did enjoy that brief reprieve from about 2005 to 2010 where everyone (even academia) seemed to agree that ADD medication was overprescribed.
Then Adderall exploded as a recreational drug and now you can't have a discussion about bad study habits, low motivation, and procrastination without some quack and/or armchair psychiatrist talking about how drugs are needed.
Putting Disney garbage aside for a second -- it bodes really poorly for our culture that all entertainment these days is derivative. Sequels, prequels, rehashes, reimaginations, spin-offs, parodies, gender-bent -- it's all garbage.
I'm so thirsty for original ideas. It's so concerning to me that studios would rather try to milk a cow that has long since run out of milk.
My wife, who is not an American (yet), is starting to get it. She has to hear me bitch and moan about the state of the country, but it was the rampant degeneracy aimed at kids that got her attention.
She doesn't look at me like I'm crazy anymore when I say "the only logical endpoint of all this is public executions. I don't know who and I don't know when, but it's going to happen somewhere at some time."
And, honestly, despite the gnashing of teeth that will inevitably come in response to that -- I be it will be more effective at discouraging future offenders than a lot of methods previously attempted.
Important distinction:
It's not impossible for a woman to have the qualities that make a good leader -- it's just rare.
Women have always been the useful idiots in grand schemes.
It wasn't Orwell's invention when he said that women were the most ardent supporters of the party.
I completely agree that the logical extrapolation of feminism and leftist politics is female supremacy. Go back and read Christina Hoff Sommers' Who Stole Feminism? -- you'd be hard-pressed to come to any other conclusion and that book was written 20+ years ago.
Women are the masters of manipulation. It's likely that only a vanishingly small proportion of feminists understand the interplay between biology and psychology, but literally every woman knows how to manipulate those same levers.
On top of that you have a bunch of pussified men who are ready to act as cannon-fodder for their female overlords. It's literally the 'how can she slap?' video in a macro scale.
EDIT - I like the fact you left your initial comment - we all speak differently in different forums. I'm tired of trying to sanitize my speech to pretend that I don't.
There's a really missing aspect of this whole debate going on; I'd like to find someone who thinks loving-but-transphobic parents are worse than blinding-accepting-friends
Or my favorite from 'fact-checkers'
'We have not seen any evidence' when they haven't looked
If the lowest common denominator can't handle basic shit everyone suffers as a result.
Gun violence wouldnt be an issue if the inner cities werent inundated with what are essentially feral humans.
Isn't human psychology fun?
You mentioned you were in Aus, which means there is a slightly different dynamic than the usa - you mentioned tall poppy syndrome, which I actually researched for my senior capstone 13 years ago.
What is most likely is there are some bots and inorganic users -- they are going to be your most vitriolic. But what they are also doing is providing an anchor point for discussion. They start being rude and inorganically upvoting themselves, and normies will fall in line because that is the cultural expectations they have grown up with.
Same is true in China and eastern collectivist societies (different culture and different manifestation, but same principle). Same is true in Europe to a much lesser extent (but the highest concentration would be in cucked, pro-eu countries in the west - belgians for example).
Don't really have much of that here in the US. Or... we didnt. Universities are creating fragile adults who are terrified of not doing things the 'consensus' agrees with.
My big point is this: I bet there are a good number of organic users also dog piling you because consensus has been curated to say its okay. So many people are blind psychological followers nowadays, and it is a major contributing factor in so many shitty governments. They dont need to build real consensus - just a loud minority.
Sorry its happening to you.
