maybe MGTOW has a valid point or three to consider.
No. Just no. Don't even consider it. Broken clock being right twice a day.
I went down that pipeline simply because on the surface it presents itself as something to help men gain independence from relationships, but the hate and vitriol there and the rest of the manosphere is more misandrist and misogynist than anything this random woman can ever do.
What? When has MatPat EVER put his craft ahead of fame and money? I haven't watched in forever, but I recall him churning out content almost as if he were an LLM.
I find it interesting that even then they slip up. Not Christian but ex Muslim, and even if I had stuck to learning only what Iranians mullahs and the nationalized education system wanted me to learn, I would still think Wtf is this BS?! And just that did happen.
Religious nut jobs and authoritarians have their sense of morality so twisted they see some of the fucked up parts of their beliefs as normal for others as well.
Well, if they were capable of empathy they probably wouldn't be in that position.
I'm not on twitter much either. What I'm telling you is you can't judge something about the larger population based on anecdotes. Or is that too complicated for you to understand?

A German foundation has said it will no longer be awarding a prize for political thinking to a leading Russian-American journalist after criticizing as “unacceptable” a recent essay by the writer in which they made a comparison between Gaza and a Jewish ghetto in Nazi-occupied Europe.
Well, if history is indeed cyclical, then in a 100 years Palestinians will have their own ethnostate and oppressing a different peoples. My guess is Kurds. /s

It's just easier to say you're ok with people needlessly dying. Fewer words, you don't have to confuse people with sentences that don't make sense. Win win.
Our Universe appears to be expanding and cooling, having originated some 13.8 billion years ago in a hot Big Bang. However, it’s plausible that what we see from inside our Universe is simply the result of being inside a black hole that formed from some parent Universe. If the black holes that form in our cosmos give birth to...
Iran’s Foreign Minster Hossein Amirabdollahian warned at the United Nations on Thursday that if Israel’s retaliation against Palestinian militants Hamas in the Gaza Strip doesn’t end then the United States will “not be spared from this fire.”...
At the very least they should be TRYING to limit civilian deaths. They're clearly not doing that much, as is evident by their invasion of the west bank as well where Hamas ISN'T.
This is one of my favorite books, and it still haunts me. Every detail of it feels like it could be a reality, and even a decade later after it was written it still feels like its about the present. It’s like it a story suspended in time, increasingly more relevant. I read this book as a teenager in school and it solidified my...
While I abhor the banning of books, I don't value this one the same way the rest of those in this thread seem to so far.
An opinion I heard about it and that I agree with is that it's what they called "white feminism" because it ignores the fact that there are women in the world already living like this.
I'm not really capable of violence, even against property. I live rather far from there but I'll try to go, if only to witness things or be another body on the side of the counter protestors.
Anarchism is fundamentally anti authoritarian so I don't see how you think I'm proposing that.
The existence of a state and communism are an oxymoron. How can there be equality when there's still a hierarchy? These nations were also nationalist, which is also at odds with communism. I get how it appears they tried and failed, as did other countries, but there attempts were just for show and don't indicate that communism is impossible. In fact, humans have lived under what Marx called (though I don't like the term) "primitive communism" since we first started walking on two feet.
But that being said, I have no idea how anarchism would work on a large scale like with the population of a city.
This is where I get really doomer and say my expectation is that as global warming and wars and famine and disease and authoritarian governments get worse the only places left that you can be free will be anarcho communes. Such a thing is possible in our modern day. Zapatista in Mexico and Rojava in Syria have achieved it as far as I can tell, but I have yet to look into how those communities are run. Rojava I know its situation is far from ideal with them having to make deals with devils, like to give America oil rights. Living in Canada myself I can find a comnune on ic.org to join. Though admittedly I haven't looked into that past skimming their website.
