Grew up Baptist, went through an athiest period in my teens, 'born again' in my late teens/early twenties, went agnostic by the time I was 22.
no beef with christians, just don't count myself among the faith. like you said, christianity played a big role in the development of the west, sometimes for the better, sometimes not so much (every group has chapters in their history they'd just assume glue shut, nothing shocking there)
so athiest, not antithiest?
just trying to pin it down.
former communist side, but apparently you're right...
no, china takes the bullshit to the next level and pretends to be a republic.
keep in mind, the whole country still feels guilty for what their great grandparents did when they were high on meth, and one half lived under communist rule for sixty years.
yes...i've seen the photos of your prime minister cosplaying, and not just the blackface ones, lmao.
sadly, we have a shitton of it stateside as well... for all the left's talk of 'eurocentrism' when it comes to beauty, their politicians are some of the most eurocentric dick-riders i've ever seen...Barry O being the example that comes to mind...
...I'm starting to wonder if "post-nationalism" isn't europe trying to drag it's former possessions down with it in the deathrows of their political relevance... it really feels like that continent's been in freefall for a while, and now they want to drag the rest of the world down with them...
...and since so many former colonies, etc. are infested with Eurocrats, they're all too happy to go along with it so long as Mommy Europa gives them head pats on the journey...
no...I'm saying frame it in a way that will yield results... Reality is society will always favor women over men. always has, always will.
otherwise, you're just beating your head against the same wall pointlessly.
lmao. fair.
honestly, i saw one of those weird 70s/80s sci-fi that was actually really interesting...riiiight up until it turned creepy... i forget the title, but it was something to do with hyper-intelligent ants, and it just went full pedowood at the end...
you mean you dont like the trite, "experimental" distopian science fiction of the late 70s where everybody always dies at the end? lmao.
...honestly, i think she meant to say censoring. she didn't pause like she made a mistake, she paused like she was waiting for someone to back her up...
laughing at them for being so pathetic
hence my comment about women being terrible at killing themselves. 😉
I sympathize with MGTOW, even if I don't agree with their solution. they're not bad people, just very bitter, emotionally bruised people.
Also holy shit, this article is a veritable goldmine of memeable quotes.
example:
women attempt suicide more often, but men are far more likely to die by it.
...even when it comes to killing yourself, women are terrible at it.
take the W for what it is. fact is, nothing gets society motivated to fix a problem like it affecting women.
My one major criticism of Men's Rights Advocates is the insistence on framing it in a way that may be principled, but garners no help for the men involved, in spite of having pinpointed the problem decades ago...
someone tried to say she said "centering," not censoring...I listened a dozen times, and I didn't hear a t in those three syllables anywhere...
could be. it may not even be a single universal element. it could be something in the particular hobby/interest that finds communist dogma irritable, one that isn't necessarily the same in each sub group.
oh dude, you're talking to someone who still can't filter loud noises, because his mother bottlefed him hair metal in the eighties. (I think Queen is probably my favorite band, but then I also swear they invented heavy metal, got bored, and made something else,lol. they were probably one of the most experimental rock bands of all time). I definitely liked ripper owens on The glorious burden, though i don't know if I'd call him my favorite per say...
What that difference is, I'm not sure, but I'm very interested in hearing further speculation what it might have been.
easy joke is autism, but i suspect it's something more intrinsic to the hobby/interest in question, perhaps something vital to the interest that is wholly incompatible with marxist dogma.
it wouldn't have to be the same specific element necessarily, just anything that's rubbed the wrong way by the communist worldview within any of the resistant groups. gaming for instance is aggressively meritocratic, to the point that games guides will often go into excruciatingly minute details on the stats of this or that specific item or choice.
speaking of stats, maybe we're looking too narrowly, sports is a more mainstream hobby that's also very meritocratic, meticulous in its study of statistics, and has also pushed back (and hard) on communist indoctrination. granted, the major institutions embraced it wholeheartedly, but the fans have been anything but welcoming of the intrusion.
Heavy metal, while a semi-niche genre today, was pretty mainstream at one point. i couldn't pin down a specific element that would rub metalheads the wrong way about communism, but i don't think it's statistics. certainly, if you can't play worth a damn, they aint interested, though.
not exactly. it's more of a differentiation between people who have the actual mental disorder and those who pretend for the attention. they're following the trend of transgenderism, so transtrender.
you mentioned gamers and nerds, so i'm gonna pull on that thread a little bit. Gamers were one of the first groups that mounted any kind of significant resistance to woke influence. Obviously Metalgate was a thing more recently, and I suspect there are other examples I'm not aware of.
I wonder if there's any commonality to the groups that mount a concerted pushback to the leftist subversion of their interests/hobbies?
well, he did get the abraham accords...that was something...a foundation he can work from, even though biden (tried to?) fuck them up...
...I was literally about to mention cuban expats till i reread your comment, lol.
