It's a good way to test if someone is easy to work with depending on how they take it. Maybe they'll fashion an actual left handed hammer if they can't find one. As long as it doesn't go further than harmless and funny.

Born too soon for hyper realistic sex bots and braindead clones of models and porn stars.

Haven't watched the video, but I know of how downright abusive hazing rituals can get. I'm reminded of how male bull elephants tend to be a menace to everything in their vicinity in the absence of older male elephants. Young male elephants are much calmer when older male elephants are around. I think humans are a bit similar. A lot of young guys need to feel belonging and they achieve that through rituals. Every tribal culture has initiation rituals. But when older men aren't involved in creating these rituals they tend to become demented as there is no reference to what kind of values one should adopt.

Particularly relative to state sponsored enforcers/terrorist like the SS and ICE especially. A fairly unique perspective on the psychology and dynamic of politics intersected with how it parallels childhood trauma psychology. Especially relative to generational trauma, which is evident with various peoples who suffered oppression and war.

October 7th was brutal, but general sentiment of Israel is tanking. I think most neutral people would agree that the Israeli response is disproportionate and opportunist. A land grab/ethnic cleansing under the pretext of terrorism and generational trauma. Boy cried gas chambers is starting to ring hollow from one of the wealthiest and most powerful people on the planet oppressing some of the least developed countries on the planet.

The public reaction is simply put appalled by the direction of the sentencing. It feeds into a narrative that the justice system is too lenient on serious crime, especially if you have money. It makes the institution as a whole feel unserious. For example the case with Anders Breivik, who arguably should've just gotten the death penalty. It would make the justice system appear more serious about serious crime to the public. Instead they are playing this game of perpetually extending his sentence since you don't formally have life imprisonment in Norway.

We don't live in a mathriarchy. That's a gross exaggeration. Women are too a certain extent a protected class, similair to immigrants and black people, which is why there is a bias and a double-standard for not talking shit about women too much.

Maybe when the Steam Machine drops. They tend to drop a new Half-Life to showcase new technology.

When talent and rich saudis intersect.

Learn about logical fallacies. It cuts out about 20-25% if not more of all communications if you can spot them. Most rage bait are logical fallacies and gross exaggerations.

Your arguments where whataboutisms. Those steelman arguments I made are valid criticisms of certain trends of feminism. Your not even willing to engage with the thought. Feminism is a sacred cow to many of you. The anger is palpable. I have never said I'm implicitly against women or feminism.

@Xonas Pitfall Bro, that was the 60s. Most men who make the kind of criticisms you see of feminism and progressives today wheren't even alive then. Sins of the father much. It' true that the unhealthy snd ungrounded aspects of modern feminism is due to a lack of a healthy blue core. Stop being such a cry baby.

No, but more women than men are progressive. More women go to college/university and modern liberal culture is more geared towards and driven by women. There's a lot of groupthink in progressive circles, especially in universities.

You'll go insane if you treat every piece of information seriously. Only high quality information deserves to be considered in any serious capacity.

Men suck the best dick because they are committers, not spitters.

Because people who sleep around a lot are a lot less likely to stay in a monogamous relationship. It goes both ways for guys who think this. It's in part a rejection of the shallowness of hook-up culture and treating people as disposable napkins. Men statistically benefit more from marriage than women and children are fundamental to the continued survival of society. That's no minor thing to gloss over. It's not wild to discourage young dumb women from casually becoming sex workers. Especially when you consider that only 2-5% actually make any money. There was a very exploitative marketing push to get young women to make porn on OF. It's unhealthy and dangerous to promote being overweight. Several fat positivity influencers have died at a relatively young age from being fat. And it's absolutely about saying that being fat is no worse than a conventional body in a sort of post-modern way. Why else do you think fat-positivity is targeting primarily fat women and not fat men. Because obese women feel unattractive, and rightfully so. Post-modern fat-positivity is magical thinking and silly. A lot of these arguments tend to have a resentful and algorythmic twist when made, granted, but the steelman are valid criticism of these trends. Generally there is just a lack of solid blue in these fantasies that feminism tends to peddle. You can't have your cake and eat it too, fat ass.

If love isn't a primary reason than you shouldn't have kids.

Most people don't care about laws and regulations that don't really affect them. It's a matter of political pressure.

When life gives you lemons, you put him in prison.

That feels like a leading question, but it is a bit of both.

You don't need to menstruate when your factory produced in a south-east Asian sweat shop.

I don't think barbies menstruate...

I don't think being a small beta Thai male makes the dick disappear. Or the knuckles. Or the adams apple. Or the broad shoulders.

It tore down old systems without replacing them constructively as it operates inherently on negatives. Feminism rejects men and traditional femininity with no alternatives besides economic self-sufficiency. There's an element of hatred and mistrust of men throughout the movement. This is fairly obvious to observe. Be careful of trying to flatten criticism. It's part of the dogma that I'm pointing out. It's a significant issue that so many men feel excluded from society, not only in dating but also in declining education and employment. It feeds directly into democratic decline and an overall more institutionally toxic society long-term. This guy talks about it at about the 13 minute mark for a bit. Teal Swan also talks about it to an extend as well as Vlad Vexler.

I had a 6-7/10 childhood. I didn't have anything to complain about physically, but I received very little attention, extracurricular activity or guidance. Basically emotional neglect. I'm emotionally stunted in certain ways, especially socially. I stopped calling my parents "mom and dad" completely by the time I was 14. It's not the case that I have a bad relationship with my parents now. I chose to not be resentful about it all, but I had to take a lot more responsibility for myself emotionally.
