Most of it just comes down to basic self-awareness/self-control, so stuff like:
- Dressing appropriately for the occasion, skipping clothes that just don't fit (stuff beyond your garden-variety 'has no fashion sense'), being clean-shaven
- If already in possession of an androgynous name, retaining that name; if not, selecting an androgynous name for compatibility
But having basic self-awareness/self-control is negatively correlated with being visibly trans (and accusations of porn-brainedness are derivatives of that), so even if there is a dark mass of ex-men/ex-women who are doing this, it's significantly harder to observe attributes of someone who doesn't want you to see them. (I suspect this is far less common for ex-women simply because the male uniform is unisex.) At least the more self-aware types tend to wear masks as an anti-jawline measure.
Then again, "being an obnoxious attention whore" is a stereotypically feminine trait. So maybe I do indeed err by failing to take them at their word that they're a walking minstrel show and a loudly-ticking social time bomb. I'm not sure which is better.
so he should be elected anyway
Like I said before, I don't actually like his politics. But I need politicians to be able to lose on the basis of bad policy, not on the basis that one angry woman with accusations of sacrilege is enough to render any random politician un-electable, and if takes accepting bad policy to establish that precedent then so be it.
That said, it's the knuckling under here that disqualifies him, because that's what cuckservatives do, and he was running as an anti-cuckservative (though in the conservative/D party, so I'm not sure how shocked I should actually be that he believes himself beholden to Believing Women; it's kind of their thing).
Oh no, "alter" isn't really the right word here.
You can't alter how the electorate responds (re: Boomers), you can just out-vote the concerns of that sector, doesn't matter what they think after that. Altering how the electorate responds is much like how the scientific community alters its consensus- one funeral at a time.
because you want someone to survive a sexual assault scandal regardless of how abominable or real it is
You misunderstand: this is the reform I support, because right now they're all false, and I want the people who are too stupid to realize that (and/or think it's good that sex assault scandals are valid heckler's vetoes) to lose.
So I guess that means I think those people are... literally worse than Hitler.
Progressives are defending this guy because Platner's just the top image in hello_human_resources.jpg
I defend this guy because I want a candidate (who has politics I don't even agree with) to win an election regardless of how much female-privilege-associated (re: "consent violations") dirt appears, so that people stop listening to women when they invoke it.
We are not the same.
(What your mind is being blown by are conservatives who don't understand this, so they're all busy debating whether it was or wasn't consensual because that's the framework they use to Protect Women. They don't understand that the entire concept of "consent" was destructive from the start and that women don't need that protection in an equal world.)
A lot of women (and men too, I guess) have sex out of a sense of duty or obligation, that doesn't make it rape.
I don't think a lot of men really have much experience with this. Furthermore, I believe that according to human instinct[0] having to do this disqualifies you from being a man[1]. (Which is also why most human societies, bar the ones over the last 100 years, have this baked into their understanding of male homosexual activity, regardless of whether or not they actively prosecuted it.)
That knowledge gap creates some significant problems, though, since you have to guess as to how bad the problem actually is. So you can't tell nearly as well if the opposite side/sex is bullshitting you, and if you default to "just Believe Them" for a few generations, you get this situation, where normal relationship dynamics have effectively become rape (or can become rape arbitrarily), especially in the marginal case (like this one) where that duty/obligation is all that's left in the relationship.
It's understandable that, if this state of affairs is broken to the point it's getting in the way of other political goals, the "side" that gained a sociopolitical advantage from normal relationship dynamics being rape (whose candidate it ostensibly is) would start pulling away from the polemic and towards nuance/reality. The principled ones break first.
[0] Generalizes to 'being taken advantage of', but this is specifically why Samuel Jackson's character says those things in the first place. Bitches are by definition female (shorthand for "obligated/subordinate"- not a prescription), which is why calling a man one in this context can even be a bad thing in the first place.
[1] And is part of why men in that position don't usually like talking about it if and when it should happen to them. (And if it involves a woman, why the response is some variation of "nice" or "how'd you con her into it?", and in either case is followed by disbelief should the man complain about being turned into the obligated/subordinate partner. In conventional relationships other men will mock the complainant by making whip-cracking sounds.)
"The Left" views cops as bastards because criminals and thieves are their cops (they policing Injustice and enforcing Reparations).
If I were the Left I'd be demonizing the social forces that oppose their cops. Thus, the actual cops are one of the Left's most legible enemies (and why countries where state force is weaker keep their authorities masked, including the agency of the US charged with deporting the Left's cops).
As long as you agree that there is at least one thing that we shouldn't allow parents to do
I actually don't, though. Parental moral hazard might be bad, but societal moral hazard is even worse.
Of course, the catch here is "once they're out of the house, parental rights evaporate". So it's vital that we make sure that pathways to a serviceable life are available to the average teenager should that be needed.
And of course there's the Arizona tallboy with 23 oz
Yeah, I remember when they were 24.
Shrinkflation for 12 oz cans occasionally turns them into 330 mL cans (rather than the typical 355s), unless it's a drink made in Europe (like the old San Pelligrino citrus drinks that had the foil wrapper on the lid) in which case 330 mL is normal. Same thing with the 591 mL (20 oz) bottles shrinking to 500 mL.
Interestingly enough cans closer to the 500 ml can size in the US are associated mostly with energy drinks
They're 473 mL, or half a quart. If you want an even number of ounces you have to step up to the 20 oz/591 mL cans.
But Britain won WWII. France won WWII.
Objectively incorrect. They both lost, and catastrophically too.
Britain mortgaged its entire empire to the US to have enough materiel to prosecute a war they wouldn't see a dime from winning (its expeditionary forces were all wiped off the Continent), and France literally surrendered to the Nazis about 6 weeks after they attacked. I'll remind you that France was the preeminent military on the Continent at the time... and Germany took as long to stomp them as the US would take to defeat the Iraqis in '91.
I get that the (Western European) cultures that live there think they won but they're delusional to think their contributions really made that much of a difference. I'd say that they should be thankful that the Americans weren't a colonial power, but "denazification" is kind of just the American name for colonialism.
And I sympathize. I really do. After all, if you become a power strong enough to challenge American interests you'll get wiped off the map like Germany was in '45, and it's fair to say that most Western European citizens would not like to go back to that state of affairs. (And what great prize would they receive? They're still never going to be as well-off per-capita as the Americans are even if the entire Continent was Nazi.)
There's plenty of things that we don't allow people to let their kids do.
Yeah, like allowing them to play outside. The exact same excuse of "but random marauding penises" is used to justify that too, in fact.
it's difficult to see how one could formally prohibit age gap relationships between consenting adults.
Oh, that’s very easy. Just follow the miscegenation playbook:
- Make shit up about muh brain maturity or whatever that makes the younger partner less human -> not “adult”
- Ban relationships on those grounds
Perhaps, but should 18M-23W be less dysgenic than 35M-30W, it's still arguably worth encouraging.
He concludes on Telegram: [a bunch of stuff]
That basically just boils down to "reduce sociofinancial taxes on young men", though.
Personally, I'm more in favor of startup-type relationships where you have young woman encouraged to pair off with an [even younger] man that actually has some promise. More of a collaborative relationship, less just "dommy Mommy".
stigmatizing any age gap larger than that between identical twins is a great way to do it.
Despite Pornhub's insistence I'm not actually convinced incest is eugenic.
East Asian cities for example lack much of the issues with violence
Or in other words, the larger/denser the city, the more authoritarian the populace must be for it to function, for the raw density of assholes per square mile is far higher in a megatropolis than it is anywhere else on Earth.
The US is relatively unique in that, because the country doesn't generally permit itself to be completely dominated by its cities, it can't pass the laws it needs to commit to/enable functional authoritarianism like this (re: Moldbug and the lust for monarchy).
I'd actually argue city residents in the US are among the most oppressed in the world from having the policies they want, and when those people handwave this as Living In Da City, they are stating their faith in their oppression being morally correct.
dot indians
lmao
I don't think I've ever heard anyone say that, but then again, I'm not sufficiently fortunate to live in Texas.
Canadian English. UK natives have a few names but "Indians" is not one of them.
Yeah, but you can't call them Indians (which they are) because we already have a group called that, because once upon a time some European tourists misidentified our Indians for their Indians.
Such is life.
Tends to refer more to Indians/Bangladeshi than actual Asians (which are called exactly that), though that might not be as true in the US.
praising him for protecting queer people on the sex offenders registry
"State-mandated girlfriends" continues to be a popular political kickback.
(Actually, that's another clear "betrayed the revolution" marker there- women fought that battle specifically to minimize the amount of sexual welfare/unwanted taxes that could be demanded of them. Now, witness the vanguard bravely trying to force them back into paying sexual welfare to pay back their Brave Allies. As Britain proves, this is also a tax disproportionately levied against the poor.)
the raw social power that caused wokeness
The raw social power that caused wokeness was basically just the revolution turning on itself after achieving its original goal. Women at large pounded the laws flat (the ones that would have prevented the transgender 'enforcers'; the 1950s would have solved this with them being genocided physically removed with the requisite violence), then the Devil turned 'round on them.
They don't have the 'cultural' (for lack of a better word) vocabulary to stop the badness- and why would they, being that men generally do that for them.
Are the trans sex pests running the universities?
No, they're just the enforcers/auditors of the power of the subset of [the striver women] who are running them.
TERF gynosupremists wouldn't even let transphobic men come to their aid?
How many black members did the KKK have? Why do you think that would be? (Was it for lack of effective outreach, perhaps?)
I don't think my woke friends (who are male and female, of course) are betraying the revolution for personal gain?
From the point of view of the original gynosupremacists, "let's declare supremacy over all men" turning into "except if they put on a dress, then they have even greater privileges than women ever did" (and are given the permission to be even greater sex pests than they ever were before) is pretty blatantly a betrayal. A real "4 legs good, 2 legs better" moment.
Naturally, those who are trying to do it don't see it that way.
I don't get the sense at all that trans activism is a frustrated men's rights movement
That is what I said- it's mostly woman vs. woman here, nothing to do with men (outside of their being an incidental/token). [Insert stereotype where men think it's all about them here.]
"Women at fault" is called "internalized patriarchy" or something
Kind of. That phrase is generally used to complain about there being any standards for female behavior, but it runs out of steam once you're past the initial conditions of the revolution outside of a meme to convince low-information/former revolutionaries.
It does make me laugh that the reason women who want to maintain their privileges can't in part because they forgot to invite any men (in the sense that there are very few men who actually understand women enough to effectively argue/aid against the ways women go to excess), though.
recognize that any comprehensive moral order is a religion, whether it has gods or not.
And we already have examples of this that are also very clearly religions- Confucianism and Buddhism. Western thought, as always, tends to be colored by "[everything we hate about/a strawman of/how wrong about everything is] Chrstianity", and then the reactionaries respond with [everything they love about/how right about everything is their version of] Christianity.
So they end up talking past each other.
TERFs routinely decry the trans activist movement as a sexually frustrated men's rights movement
Feminists of all kinds claim it's all men's fault, all the time. Why take them at their word on this?
TERF vs. not-TERF is at its core an intra-woman slapfight. The not-TERFs are pretty blatantly betraying the revolution for personal gain (as strivers do), the TERFs notice it, but they have no words for "women at fault" (every mechanism to restrain them from bad ideas has been destroyed) and no rhetorical tools to express it, so they just reach for the usual and hope it does the job.

But statistically, everyone has to deal with this. It's called "having excess adipose tissue". You feel your stomach bunch up around you when you're sitting down. It's not particularly comfortable. I'd slam a knife into it and remove the offending tissue myself if it wasn't going to kill me or leave an absurd scar.
Now yes, sensory considerations mean I'm reminded of this fact more than other people, and is probably why the autism-trans pipeline exists considering sensory body-can't-forget-itself issues and autism are comorbid. (Actually, I bet the same is true of eating disorders. If I felt that happen to my body, yes, I'd absolutely try to eat as little as possible and/or throw up.)
It's kind of like the "gayness is evil, but some are tempted more than others" question, complete with the modern response of "well, it's everyone else's problem if they don't like it, just do whatever you want all the time". You can't just decide to keep the productive parts for whatever reason.
