Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "Why 'Progress' is Bad for Women - Mary Harrington" video.

I agree there's a a lot of nonsense in the public discussions on gender issues these days. But I am stopping when the opening remark is so idiotically bad. She said in respect of birth control "so the contraceptive pill is the first transhumanist technology it's the first major widespread, um, social you know biomedical Intervention which aims not at fixing something which has gone wrong with normal Health but upgrading normal." Sorry but that is utter BULLSHlT. People have been practising various forms of birth control going all the way back to Ancient Egypt. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_birth_control

@MrAgonizomai WHEN YOU ADMIT YOU ARE DELIBERATELY TRYING TO AGGRAVATE SOMEONE DON'T COMPLAIN WHEN THEY GET AGGRESSIVE.

@The1stMrsO Its still a ridiculous statement and that's what I am really getting fed up with in the woke public discussions. There's just so much hyperbole and bad faith claims from BOTH sides. I don't know about you but I an getting fed up with the endless discussions when we have some far bigger issues to deal with. I'm an engineer and the energy crisis is only going to get so much worse than it is because there's been so much public BS that the real issues are being lost in all this endless cacophony.

@diatonicdelirium1743 Please don't be yet another pompous clown. Its quite simply a bullshit claim that's more hyperbole than fact. And to be sure I don't give a damn which side of the woke argument she's on. I am tired of the bad faith FROM BOTH SIDES of the woke discussion.

@diatonicdelirium1743 Yeah and the same thing back to you. Your the same as so many clowns on social media. You think your a whole magnitude smarter than you actually are. Its a BULLSHlT comment in yet another BULLSHiT waste of time public discussion on a subject that has no place when there are REAL ISSUES worth discussing. Go watch Konstantin's debate on the channel Unherd about Ukraine. THAT'S WORTH YOUR TIME, not this woke and anti-woke nonsense.

@MrAgonizomai Don't try that smug self righteous crap ON ANYONE. The only people that ever need that sort of advice are the smug arrogant clowns handing it out. On the basic premise of how feminism conned women I actually was interested in hearing what Marry Harrington had to say. Just over 20 years ago Australian journalist Virginia Haussegger let fly at the feminists with a landmark news article titled "The Sins of our Feminist Mothers." It caused a shitstorm when published, because she told a number of very hard truths. She ended up writing a book about it. Clowns like Germaine Greer went nuts because a number of their lies were exposed. SO I WAS INTERESTED in what the next take on this subject was and instead Marry Harrington opens with stupidity and more of this woke/anti-woke culture war BULLSHlT. So welcome to some enlightenment you ARROGANT SMUG SHlT

@ironmonkey1512 I wasn't discussing efficacy I was pointing out that the very first comment in this was just another BULLSHlT lump of hyperbole in a culture war between 2 groups of M0R0NS who have completely lost site of reality. You anti-woke clowns are just as ridiculous as the woke clowns you rage about.
1
@MrAgonizomai Because anyone with a brain can spot yet another FULL of SHlT woke/anti-woke culture clown in an instant AND NONE OF THEM ARE WORTH ANYONE's TIME. AND THE ONLY PEOPLE who spend time listening to them are lDlOTIC CULTURE WARRIORS WHO HIDE BEHIND ANONYMOUS TAGS.

@jeffk464 Its staggering how people claim that the mainstream media should not be listened to because they have agendas and narratives AND THEN THOSE SAME PEOPLE TURN to Bloggers, Facebook, Tik Tok, YouTuber outlets as if those outlets don't have agendas or narratives.

@madeinengland1212 I NEVER SAID THERE WASN'T Do any of you culture war clowns EVER listen?

Here's something for all you culture war clowns to consider since one of you question if I am an engineer or not. According to the title of this video "Progress is Bad for Women." As an engineer let me ask all of you culture war clowns. Do you think that since progress is bad for women that us engineers should turn off the Tampax, Star Free and Libra factories? Because I know a lot of men would be grateful if they didn't have football games on TV interrupted with adds for tampons. Maybe there's another item of progress we can do away with - the washing machine. It only unburdened women enough that it allowed them to go to school and be educated. I'm fairly certain there are a lot of men out there who'd like to see women a lot less educated and they'd see putting women back in the laundry doing everything by hand for day after day would be a good start. On the other hand I tend to think the progress has been pretty good for women. Its just the some are too stupid to realise it.

@MrAgonizomai NEVER TRY and tell somebody what they are and what they aren't is the ultimate in arrogant hubris. But then while the woke live in their fantasy realm of delusion the anti-woke live with the comfort blanket of arrogant hubris. What's common to both is insane self righteousness. DON'T complain when people tell you and the woke clowns FK-OFF. The rest of us have real work to do.
1
@MrAgonizomai You call someone a piece of crap 20 times in a row and wonder why they want to P⋃NCH you in face and tell you to F⋃CK OFF.🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ Next time you and any other from the woke-antiwoke brigades want to call someone ignorant look in the mirror.
1
@MrAgonizomai And so we are getting through this. Being a pedantic self righteous smug arrogant ignorant M0R0N who thinks they play people like violins IS BASICALLY THE ULTIMATE in being a pedantic self righteous smug arrogant ignorant M0R0N. Psychologically speaking being someone who thinks the way you do is called SOCIOPATHIC NARCISSISM

@biocykle AS I have said to others its just another chunk of worthless hyperbole in a BULLSHlT public discussion where BOTH SIDES seem to think that if they scream louder with worthless hyperbole they are somehow champions. I'm tired of BOTH SIDES in this worthless woke garbage pile of crap. There's some real issues to deal with that are worth discussing. You know just some minor things like: The Energy Crisis The Climate Crisis The Refugee Crisis The start of World War 3

@priapulida Yeah well WTF is your qualification on energy issues? I'm actually an engineer by the way and just so that we are clear I started with a degree in aerospace but work in industrial control systems and automation which includes a lot of dealing with energy systems. So take your ignorance and shove it, because its the ignorant clowns LIKE YOU who keep these culture shitfests going WHO ARE THE PROBLEM.

@priapulida When people are as ignorant as you are there's no point in discussing anything BUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE HERE'S WHY YOUR ENERGY BILLS ARE WHAT THEY ARE. So everyone knows the main reason I hate the culture war nonsense is that it sucks all the oxygen out of public discussion on everything else and nobody can discuss REAL ISSUES - LIKE ENERGY OR ARE YOU ALL HAPPY WITH YOUR POWER BILLS? IF YOU WANT TO HEAR THE TRUTH SORRY IF THIS IS LONG. I first became aware of the real energy issue about 7 years ago while working on a small consulting project for a Taiwanese solar company. They wanted an Australian engineer to explain the Australian situation and what I found shocked me. When I looked around I found ITS THE SAME BASIC PROBLEM EVERYWHERE and we aren't discussing what needs to be done because culture war clowns like wont STF⋃. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENED When governments built power stations they built them with future population in mind. By the time more was needed the next power station was ready. So there was always an OVER SUPPLY of energy to drive growth. Anyone who's ever done even a basic economics class (and yes I did one) knows If supply is ahead of demand (even when its growing) the prices go down and/or stay down. That's how energy prices were reliable from 1945 until the early 2000s and IT DROVE GROWTH. Mega projects like Tennessee Valley, Britain's nuclear industry and Snowy Hydro are examples where national governments drove growth through energy investment. Then the world got the Milton Freidman inspired Reaganomics and Thatcherism that we now call neoliberalism. Part of that was privatising energy infrastructure. A privatised energy sector doesn't exist to provide national growth its there to provide profit to share holders.*Milton Freidman* made it perfectly clear. “There is one and only one social responsibility of business—to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits.” The private sector BUYS power stations, they rarely build them and the ones they build are either small or highly subsidised. For example, in Britain, Hinckley Point C took 7 years to approve and will take 10 more to construct with first power planned for 2028 at a cost of £26 Billion and they will not see actual returns on investment until at least 2045. Do you think any of the private investors are going to wait another 20+ years before they break even or do you think the British Government is funding their profits already? This is where Milton Freidman was utterly wrong. Governments don't have to care about financial returns from specific investments because their metric is GDP not profit. HERE'S THE PROBLEM RIGHT NOW Nations now have a lot of very old power stations and basically no replacement strategy. These are not easy to replace because they take years to build. Don't bother me with various technologies because they *ALL HAVE ISSUES. For this there is no quick or easy fix. Nations are going to suffer horribly. It will be like Ukraine but stuff will just fail instead of a maniac blowing it up. The main hold up has been the constant culture wars that have raged for the past 25+ years. ALL OF THE SIDES involved say time and again that they "don't want that in my backyard." Irrespective of whatever "that" is there's always some culture warrior screaming about it with some absurd "whataboutism." Anytime engineers do speak we get screamed at by clowns claiming we are unqualified. 3 Weeks ago this channel hosted Michael Schellenberger going on about world domination with Davos and the WEF. Sure there is a case to say that but Michael is also another culture warrior except his preferred platform is TEDx and through it he has said some ridiculous stuff masked behind a few truths. Either these culture war shitfests STOP and people start LISTENING or one day you will flip the light switch and nothing will happen OR if it does turn on it will cost you a fortune to keep it on. You have a choice you can listen to clowns like Mary Harrington, Michael Schellenberger and Pria Pulida or you can have the lights work. EITHER WAY DON'T COMPLAIN BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD.
