The Old Testament, the Quran and even Joseph Stalin are right about the 'queer community'.
The past 7 years have convinced me that the 'slippery slope' warned about by fundamentalists from the '80s onward was 100% real, and that it is absolutely necessary for the maintenance of any country's moral and social fabric that even the LGB must be permanently confined to the closet. And that's the minimum - for those who try to break out of it, well: the Old Testament, the Quran and Joseph Stalin were all right about sodomites.
Maybe, maybe not, but at least they'll start actually trying to climb out of that pit. The guy who just got elected, Yoon Suk-yeol, not only actively courted disaffected young men and made fighting feminism head-on into the centerpiece of his campaign but he's also directly responsible for putting the previous feminist cultist president in prison (as his Wiki article admits) so I do believe his promises to roll back feminism in SK aren't just for show.
Yoon later became head of investigations in the special prosecutor team of Park Young-soo, which investigated allegations pertaining to the 2016 Choi Soon-sil scandal involving Choi, Samsung vice-chairman Lee Jae-yong and then-President Park Geun-hye, which led to the impeachment of the president in December 2016.[11]
The biggest obstacle right now, assuming that Yoon doesn't immediately cuck out of course (which I personally doubt he will since he did fight an extremely powerful feminist cult and win), is that the Korean National Assembly is still held by the Democratic Party whose candidate he just defeated and isn't up for grabs until 2024. But the man's proven he's a fighter so here's hoping he pushes mightily against those headwinds until, even more hopefully, the South Korean right takes the Assembly in two years' time as well.
Constitutional term limits
Nah, the defeated leftist candidate Lee Jae-myung has already conceded and by the looks of it the South Korean right wing fully united behind the winner (Yoon Suk-yeol) right before election day while their left still remains fragmented. And thank God for that, because the even-further-left-wing Justice Party still got enough votes that if they had merged with Lee's Democrats (as the right opposition did with Yoon's party, People Power) then the latter would've won.
As it so happens, he IS the typical predator tranny site mod. Because of course the degenerate loser bingo wouldn't be complete without checking off 'creepy sex pest' too.
Personally, above all I love Jesse Watters' self-restraint in that interview. Man managed to keep a straight face until the last couple seconds when the tranny janny babbles about wanting to teach philosophy & critical thinking, and even then he manages to end things with a relatively benign 'we gotta pay the bills' one-liner. In his position I definitely wouldn't be able to resist such a perfect tee-up to punt 'Doreen' into orbit, if I'm not already in hysterics & laughing my head off.
Not even the highest budgets on the planet can save High Guardian Spice's writing from its own sheer awfulness (including, but far from limited to, Rodriguez's own blatant self-insert tranny professor). At best they would've been able to avoid the embarrassing animation flaws, like characters transparently walking on the static backgrounds & phasing through houseplants or all those watermarked stock photos they ripped off a Google search & photoshopped in.
Looking at the current state of Spain, I'd say he did screw up in picking Juan Carlos to succeed him. Really should've chosen a real Carlist traditionalist or facilitated a Spanish Habsburg restoration instead.
My point wasn't that female soldiers caused the ANA to fail, it's that they didn't actually turn out to be any better than their male counterparts. Certainly, far from going on gung-ho female revenge fantasies as described by the Redditors in the linked image above, they've pretty much just fled the country or else resigned themselves to restored Taliban rule and are scared shitless (no castor oil needed).
Suffice to say that any fantasy that female Afghan troops would've been a cut above the males b/c 'girl power' or even would just fight harder because they know the Taliban would put them back in burkas if they were ever defeated have proven to be as fantastical and lacking grounding in reality as everything else the Western liberal world order's been saying about Afghanistan.
That said, I think there's a case that can be made as to feminism in general hurting Coalition efforts to win in Afghanistan. The 10% desired quota for female soldiers is mentioned in that thread, alongside crazy shit like quotas for women in the Afghan parliament (resulting in there being craploads of female MPs 'representing' districts they had never even been to), tying aid money to attaining a gender balance in each local government, etc. And this stuff kept going on even after trying to force feminism on Afghan society and 'smashing the Afghan patriarchy' was noted by the USgov itself to have literally sparked revolts among the Afghans & proven utterly detrimental to peace efforts.
Modern white woke bitches ain't shit, man. Look at Afghanistan, where globohomo tried very hard to promote the woman-soldiers of the Afghan Army and even attempted to go for an insanely optimistic 10% female share of said army. Think any of those would-be Afghan Amazons amounted to the level of their male compatriots, much less exceeded the males' level, when the Taliban - a group which everyone knew would return women's rights to the 13th century posthaste - was on their final tear across the country?
Nah, actually they just meekly bowed down before the 'Ban, put on the burkas and went back to the kitchen with nary a protest. Hell, I've never seen a woman among the Panjshir resistance people, and you'd think those guys would LOVE to promote any ladies they could get to pose with an AK to attract investment from the West. Wokeness promotes weakness at its core and Western women who are so much more enmeshed in it won't be any different than Afghan women. Hell, given how much softer Westerners in general are, they'd probably roll over and spread their legs for the first Gileadite commissar who thinks it's a good idea to stick his dick in their crazy.
These Reddit fantasies are just that - fantasies that have literally never borne out IRL anywhere, not even in places and wars where there actually was a record of stronk independent female troops who don't need no man taking up arms. Exhibit A: Francoist Spain, where after the Nationalists force-fed some anarchist militiawomen castor oil and made them crawl all over Barcelona shitting themselves, you sure as all hell didn't see any of their sisters-in-arms picking fights with Nationalist patrols or anything from Feb. 1939 onward. Instead, those who didn't already die in prison also vastly preferred conforming to Franco's conservative dictates for the next 40 years over dying as part of the maquis. There's literally no reason to expect modern western dangerhairs to resist a hypothetical hard-right dictatorship any better than those milicianas did, and quite a bit to expect them to fail even harder.
Though speaking of 'borne out', I'd like to thank the cunt at the bottom there for confirming 4chan's theory of what SIDS might just actually be.
This horrible caricature actually flip-flops in between paragraphs. Literally just one paragraph after she describes the group as 'all (apparently) white', thereby excluding herself from the category, she immediately goes on to call white suburban women 'her' demographic as she laments 'increasing right-wing views' among them.
Phoebe Cohen isn't exactly the brightest candle in the menorah, basically. But maybe she's bright enough for the sort of people who still uncritically lap up HuffPo pieces.
Overly long alternate title: 'Hello fellow whites, I too don't like putting my kid through Zoom classes, but why can't y'all shut up, sit down and recognize your white privilege? Not even the sacrifice of 300,000+ white boys in Union blue can absolve you - I mean us of that sin, you know.'
Isn't Zemmour literally a pied-noir, ie. one of the guys driven out of Algeria once the 'brave anticolonial freedom fighters' won there (with an assist from the anti-French deconstructionist leftists back in the Metropole - I know Sartre, who incidentally raped children & young teenagers alongside Simone de Beauvoir, was a big fan of the FLN) and promptly began massacring & torturing everyone who wasn't an Arab Muslim supporter of theirs?
Little wonder then that he'd have a very personal stake in opposing all of those things you mention. Hope he wins.
I'm 99.9% certain that it's just a combination of him being coached by his lawyers in preparation for the lawsuits they're launching against the press, and him still being a naive young man who has yet to dig into the true nature of BLM (whether on the .win sites or others which go against the narrative).
Rittenhouse did say immediately after first mentioning BLM that he's only supportive of peaceful protest, and has got no tolerance for violent rioting at all (as if him showing up to protect the Indian brothers' car lot and later being attacked by the rioters wasn't proof enough). I guess we won't know for sure unless he's enough of a fool to donate some of his future winnings from the MSM to them, but that and his FBI comment (despite being or having been a Blue Lives Matter guy) indicate to me that he's not that naive about the organizations he used to believe in - including BLM, and almost certainly opposes them a lot more strongly than he seems on the surface.
I'm 99% sure that's just Rittenhouse's bodyguard, you can watch him shadowing Rittenhouse in the trailer for Tucker Carlson's documentary and a few other videos.
Seriously, this. As I've said elsewhere he's young and has almost certainly been exposed to MSM propaganda, plus Robert Barnes has explained that he's a very idealistic, naive dude without a cynical bone in his body. I'd bet $100 that he still unironically accepts the name at face value and thinks the mob that attacked him (including the three pieces of shit he had to shoot) were an anomaly.
I really do think it's a bit much to expect him to yell 'FUCK THOSE GAY NIGGERS' in his first interview as a free man after a year of horror & PTSD. In any case, a true BLM believer would never sit down for an interview with Tucker Carlson. Rittenhouse's now in Florida and Matt Gaetz & Paul Gosar have offered him internships; let's see how that works out and whether he can accept redpills over the next few years before brushing him off as a permanently brainwashed normie.
(Of course it'd be real nice if he could just fade into the background and pursue his desired career in nursing or w/e, but frankly I don't think anyone is going to allow him that luxury after he singlehandedly threw a wrench into the left's riot machine)
Rittenhouse has just said he supports BLM in his interview with Tucker. I don't hold it against him though, as you say he's basically still just a kid and had been a normie until last year. Robert Barnes has described Kyle as basically a very idealistic, naive guy without a cynical bone in his body, which jives with him being a Blue Lives Matter supporter as well. I'd put $100 on him actually just taking the name on face value like most normies.
Well, apparently now he's not only giving an interview to Tucker but he's moved to Florida and seems to like it there. And as we know, Matt Gaetz and Paul Gosar want to hire him. Give him a couple years: there's time for that crowd to rub off on him and flush the MSM propaganda out of his head with redpills, so that he can become a proper national-conservative.
Now, on to becoming a billionaire by suing the absolute shit out of the MSM.
Rittenhouse/Sandmann 2036!
Well, good thing Kyle just set an example for the citizens of Kenosha to follow.
Not surprised, even at how nearly 30% of people still think there's no problem with cancel culture. I'm absolutely willing that many people can be that stupid, willfully blind or petty IRL in Clown World.
I still doubt we'll see an end to cancellation sprees until cancelers start getting killed by the people they canceled. I simply don't see any way this sickness in modern culture (one of many, but certainly one of the most aggravated and aggravating) coming to a close until people are made to understand the concept of 'you destroy my life, I end yours' en masse. God knows the Harris-Biden administration isn't going to pass any laws to bind their online police force's hands anytime soon.
Fortunately, Plebcomics drew a perfect response to this sort of raving insanity.
Tl;dr don't let your fetishes run & ruin your life, kids. Or ruin others' lives by spreading like a social contagion, for that matter.
That's a really good point the Drinker made re: the lack of life experiences on the part of today's writers. J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis were both WW1 veterans who nearly died in the trenches of that war (Tolkien from illness, Lewis from friendly fire), and both went on to have strong scholarly careers in addition to writing with Tolkien, in particular, famously becoming a professor at Oxford. Their works need no introduction and are still internationally beloved, genre-defining modern classics.
Meanwhile let's consider someone like Hugo Award-winning author Becky Chambers. She's got the publishing industry and media outlets like Wired shilling hard for her books, portraying her as a trailblazer of 'hopepunk'. WTF is that? Well, I've seen someone sum it up as 'comfort food for the kind of people who think frosting is a cake', and I can't disagree with that assessment. Chambers herself came from a well-off Californian family, then worked in theater & as a freelance writer before going into writing; she essentially has had, as far as I can tell from her public profiles, no truly dangerous or demanding life experiences (doesn't even have to be wartime experience like Tolkien & Lewis, something like the depression & poverty Rowling struggled with while writing Philosopher's Stone or even having to work in fast food & retail would have qualified) in her 36 years.
And it shows in her works. They're twee, simplistic (to an extent that literal children would get bored of them very quickly), puddle-deep tales populated by characters who universally sound either like bourgeois coastal Californians, or what bourgeois coastal Californians think people from outside their bubble sound like (usually these are villains) - the literary equivalent to High Guardian Spice. I haven't met a soul IRL or online who has bought or heard of Chambers' works despite her friends in the publishing industry trying their best to promote her. They have no lasting cultural impact and never will, hell she'll be lucky if she retains any relevance in 3 years' time.
I suspect the same is true of the nepotistic hacks who have been getting hired into writers' rooms in Hollywood at an especially high pace since the 2008 Writers' Strike. Only Hollywood has a lot more money to play with & isn't quite as moribund an industry as publishing has been since self-publishing became much easier & more popular.
I don't think Youngkin winning last night/this morning is a whitepill just because it means an establishment GOP guy (albeit a pretty smart one who knows how to campaign) managed to defeat a major Clinton operative. That it was this close to begin with even after McAuliffe basically argued that the state should own your kids, be free to teach them hate & allow protected groups to literally assrape them with abandon, is a pity. I don't even think the Republicans mopping up the downballot races & retaking the VA House of Delegates is the key part either, although it's also certainly nice & an improvement over the alternative. Nor is it that Youngkin seems to have found the blueprint for a winning strategy in 2022 (a Trump Lite campaign that can thread the needle between the actual MAGA crowd and much squishier suburban voters), although that's nice too.
What really makes me happy is the level of grassroots engagement that went into this election. I've read over on Patriots.win that 90% of the poll watcher positions in Fairfax were snapped up, and elsewhere that the Virginia Project fought tirelessly to mobilize volunteers alongside the state GOP. Little wonder then that I happily woke up this morning to McAuliffe's concession rather than news of a fifteenth-hour ballot drop or fifty to pull McAuliffe up over Youngkin while everyone went to bed, as I had feared up until NBC and a bunch of other outlets started throwing in the towel. Looks like that might just be the ticket, or at least a very important part thereof, to beating future election fortification - grassroots engagement on such a scale that the Swamp dares not steal elections in its heartland.
Now I just hope it's not too much to ask for Youngkin to not only knock it out of the park on education, but also to start taking notes from DeSantis on how to secure Virginian elections going forward.
Yes indeed. The Hobbits do not even begin to migrate from their ancestral homeland east of the Misty Mountains toward Eriador (northwestern Middle-earth where the Shire is located) until ~1000 years into the Third Age, and the Shire isn't established with the permission of the Kings of Arthedain (Aragorn's ancestors) until about 500 years after that.
The Amazon series is ostensibly set in the Second Age, literally millennia before any Hobbit should appear in the lands of the Dúnedain. Much less a black Hobbit, when (being a sub-race of Men) they consistently lived in the far north of Middle-earth and before migrating, were longtime neighbors of the famously blond & pale-skinned Northmen who would later become the Rohirrim.
Actually, Poland led at least one crusade. It was a later crusade and didn't end well for the crusaders, but it was still an official one (sanctioned by Pope Eugene IV & partly led by a Papal legate, Cardinal Giuliano Cesarini, who died in the disastrous final battle) and also included the very same Teutonic Knights the Poles had defeated at Grunwald earlier.
The famous Holy League 200 years later, where Poland's winged hussars saved Vienna and later conquered Podolia as part of the greater Christian victory over the Ottomans, could also count if you consider the Holy Leagues to be repackaged crusades (that particular League did have the enthusiastic backing of Pope Innocent XI, who didn't just send 'thoughts and prayers' but also funded Poland & the other League participants as much as he could).
