they likely wouldn’t be silent on motive
Who is "they" supposed to be? The police who have possession of the manifesto? What makes it likely that a police precinct is carrying water for the dems by hiding the political affiliations of an assassin? Is the idea that Tim Walz, governor, is behind the scenes threatening to cut their budget if they dont play ball?
Homogenizing the motives of every possible leftist actor from journos to bored spinsters to protestors to the local PD does give the impression that somebody is fantasizing though, ill give you that.

see i was commenting on the object level bawwing from aella, not the underlying causes that people are seeing elsewhere. On the object level, from the tweets, shes sad that people are being mean, not that she cant find a husband or is sad that shes a whore or whatever.

Confused further by the fact that the pointing out essentially IS the consequence here. This is a very similar line of reasoning to "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences".
Odd how this argument seems like an annoying aphorism exactly until you (royal) pick it up and throw it at somebody else

i used to be somewhat of a sam hyde defender, i definitely see him in a more forgiving light than most leftists. It would take me 30 minutes to put together a reel of clips that would make someone think he is double mega hitler. The guy is utterly radioactive in a leftist political context.

This seeeeeeems like a tongue in cheek pantomime of anti woke media preferences, but ahem.
If you think The Northman is pozzed then i literally dont know what you want out of movies. That actresses eyes arent quite far apart enough to make her diverse.

Lower tier males isnt necessarily what we're talking about here though, a genetically excellent 12 year old could absolutely be put down by a group of older but genetically deficient guys. Being able to cope with the aftermath of avoiding terrible martial engagements is probably an advantageous trait to have for anyone who isn't part of an overwhelmingly forceful collective, whether male or female.
I did just watch a movie called The Northman about a badass little viking child that escapes a raid on his village, and thats probably coloring my current thought process on the matter. I dont know how common of a plotline that is in reality.

what evolutionary advantage self pity-ever carried
maybe its there to counter our natural thirst for revenge at wrongdoings, perceived or real.
imagine a scenario where one tribe wipes out all but one member of another, a young man who ran away. His choices are either to flee forever (and maybe survive) or die trying to enact some token revenge against his enemy. Running from something like that likely foments guilt and self pity, but its also the only path towards survival in some situations.

WW2 mythos
WWII's monolithic cultural universality is definitely waning as we approach its centennial anniversary, but i don't think kanye's tweets are some sort of canary for us to look to for signs of danger.
The guy, and i kinda feel bad for him even though he only has a few songs i really liked, seems to have actually lost his damn mind. People speculate as to the cause of this, was it pete davidsons giant schlong, was it his mom's death, was it his divorce that broke his tenuous grasp on reality? Nah. the guy has been doing rich people levels of the wrong drugs, hes been talking a lot about inhaling nitrous. Bro has prettymuch all the symptoms of inhalant induced brain damage and his cultural relevance will quickly fade for the normies as he transforms in real time from an avant garde rapper to a terry davis-esque lolcow insane guy yelling schizo word salad about nazi's and jesus and sucking dicks.
the hippies and their ideological descendants
idunno if this even exists at a meaningful scale, Hippies were all about free love and radical acceptance of others. Free love, the idea that fucking whoever you want to is fun and healthy and something only prudes get upset over, has fallen pretty far out of favor (probably for the best) and instead the left scrutinizes power dynamics and racial biases in sexual preferences (probably not helping anybody)
Radical acceptance has likewise given way to oppression power level science which i'm sure we can all agree is fun for everyone involved.
The most direct ideological descendants of the hippies i know of are the "rainbow family", which , surprisingly, arent all gay people. Theyre a group of turbo wooks that try as hard as possible to make burningman style commune parties across the country and "ban" the use of money at their communes. I don't think they have any pull in leftist political circles.

Are you certain there wasn't some form of de facto splitting into higher and lower performance PE classes? How it worked back at my highschool was that there were multiple tiers of phys ed offered, and on paper the most advanced course was intended for senior students, but in actuality any sports team members and anyone who just wanted to participate was in this more demanding "just train with the football team and their coaches" tier as soon as they wanted to be.
my opinions;
no, although i do see the sense in the habit formation arguments others have raised. In my opinion though as long as you always signal when that signal is needed, then nobody cares if you dont signal when wildly changing 4 lanes on an otherwise uninhabited stretch of highway.
generally you have to stop to assess whether you needed to stop so i essentially agree you should always stop.
id ammended to say speed limit + 5MPH up to 45 and limit+10 for over 50, then yes everybody should be going no higher than that range of speeds. maybe speed limit +30 for low density highways.
i think i disagree? the left lane is the most sensible place for people who want to go fast and arent planning on changing lanes for a long time. If you are in the left and you dont want to go somewhere fast you are in the wrong place.
this is a tough one because generally needing to merge under duress is caused by a failure to plan your route. "oh crap i should have been in the right lane a quarter mile ago but now i need to dangerously merge immediately" is a bad excuse in the age of freely available GPS on every phone.
in general i think people that are better drivers than me can probably get away with breaking way more of these rules than i do, and people with less experience should probably try to follow much more closely than i. I guess this just boils down to "as long as you dont fuck anybody up with your bad driving then godspeed"
One of these happened to me just the other day. I needed to turn left at a big intersection of a 6 lane road with a 4 lane road, and im coming from the 4 lane. I need to cross 3 lanes of traffic to complete this turn, and the left turning signal is the evil RED ARROW of DO NOT TURN LEFT.
Normall, i respect the authority of the red arrow, its color a warning of the dire consequences of failing to comply with its mandate. But today, both sides of the road i needed to cross, all 3 lanes in each direction, were fully bricked up with stopped cars waiting for their light to turn green. I waited for 30ish seconds as no cars went anywhere and then drove in solitude across the forbidden zone. I imagine at least someone in the waiting traffic saw what i did, and i wonder if they saw me as kindof an awesome defiant paragon of truth, or maybe as some sort of rule breaking dastard who belongs under the jail.
But in reality i was just a guy who didnt want to wait 5 minutes to turn left, and i saw a situation where nobody else would be harmed by breaking the rules, so i took it.
