  1.  @fionawhiteford2128  Pffft! Please. They stole every one of their moves from the decades-old feminist gaslighting playbook.

  2. Yeah. Or 🤔did she change from POS pretend-good-person to good person? She made it clear at the end that her whole level of honesty and sincerity went way up.

  3. Almost never, yeah, but Ellen Page was fairly good-looking. So I'd say 'a good-looking woman with a grip on herself' would never. On the other hand Page was in Hollywood, so maybe she considered herself homely in comparison to the prettiest of her fellow actresses.

  4.  @bigsprucerabbitry6238  How can you ask? Women never use the toilet with the seat up; men use it each way sometimes.

  5.  @anneb889  A great many instances were and are oblique references. It can be a wordless few frames in a TV ad, e.g. The reminders are constant and I wouldn't expect even what I look on as the best women to notice. There's less reason for them to, just as there was less reason for men to notice the metronome-like slights of women in earlier eras. Anyway, it sounds like you were well brought up, so maybe your home environment didn't amplify the dumber sorts of social messages. Also, in my view some point maybe around 1990 marked a high point in male-female relations in a lot of ways. The worst of male attitudes towards women were behind them, just as the worst of women's towards men were ahead of them. It's been downhill since, thanks to the tireless efforts of extremists and other fiends, to the point where not many of the young are interested in the opposite sex much at all, if I'm to believe what I read nowadays. Thanks for your reply.

  6.  @anneb889  That was an interesting reply. Thanks. I'll point out that as a boy I found it merely annoying and ridiculous but the moment I arrived at university I realized how deadly earnest the man-haters were. They had a department devoted to their activities which was called Women's Studies. They weren't about making sure women got paid equally or anything like that; their entire purpose was to raise women by degrading men. Or simply to degrade men. When I would point that out to girls, they'd say 'What's wrong, can't you take it? That's what men did to women forever' or similar things. They realized that they had pit bulls working on their behalf and valued them on that basis, expecting that they'd get to wear the pants. Where I grew up women dominated at least half of marriages anyway, so they were just looking for an even sweeter deal. It was around that time that talk of equality dried up. The tone moved to: 'Men are simply terrible and don't deserve anything. Whatever they have is illegitimate. We are through with men and don't like them or need them.' By this time I was looking back on the messaging I was drenched with as a youth and began to feel a complete fool for sympathizing with and backing their earlier campaigns. I'd been had. Which is why I now just laugh at the gall of feminists' asking men to help them deal with 'trans' 'men' invading their territory. Of all the damn nerve, after how you've treated us for nearing on a whole lifetime! Trans people are copying their whole awful, irrational, histrionical, society-destroying, fake-academic playbook and I think it serves the feminists bloody well right. I'm enjoying watching the thing they spawned come back to bite them. Hoist with their own petard, and it couldn't happen to a lovelier bunch of self-serving mentally-ill hate merchants. More than you bargained on hearing, I'll bet, and if you read all this way you have my gratitude and affection. This will be all though, unless you happen to ask me something, which I'll be glad to answer (tomorrow). All the best to you.

  7.  @craigsmith1443  Party solidarity has never been my thing. It seems hardwired into women, though. But yeah I can go part-way if there's a reason to, and I do. Problem is I was gas-lighted for so long, cutting way into my available time and energy. Maybe I can write a book.🤔 Books still make waves. Paste that reply of yours to your Notepad and make it to others elsewhere and often.👍

  8. For two years I would go onto the New York Times and CBC forums and write about the same things Jay talks about here. As a science graduate I would always frame my remarks in proper scientific as well as other terms, generally referencing academic research. Those comments were removed. Some of my comments were supportive of certain actions of the authorities. Those were never removed. It was as simple as that. My anger (and anguish) over that will never go away completely.

  9. Right. Those who accept your lies, from that point onwards, in effect work for you. It's not that they merely don't oppose you and are thus neutral. A person neutral to your interests would be someone who hasn't heard your lies. The ones who accept them are an asset to you and thus multiply your power.

  14. Hahaha Brilliantly well put. You deserve a good writing job if you want one and don't have it yet. Tone, idiom, rhythm, pacing, rhetorical force, mastery of meaning, almost microscopically faultless usage, sense coherence, it's all there—the works.👏 America needs more You. The world needs more You, for that matter.

  17. Isn't 87k views far below the Triggernometry norm? Appears that way to me. If so, it's a pretty obvious case of algorithmic cloaking (i.e. they're keeping it out of people's suggested videos, which is a shameful thing to do).

  18. It's amazing how 21st-century TV make-up can make Justin Trudeau look like Sam Harris. If your idea of democracy is the candidate you oppose getting fewer votes via media manipulation, you're anti-democratic. So when he said he didn't think it would've been ok to stuff ballot boxes to make sure Trump wasn't re-elected, I didn't believe him. (Btw, during this interview he was clearly on something. Note also the band-aid on the back of his hand.)

  19. As in Rome, first neurosis, then heightened corruption, then depression and a lack of will to carry on. Then more neurosis at a new level. Then a final spasm of utmost corruption. Then the end. Oh, and just before the end, setting sail for Byzantium. "Elon Musk. Paging Elon Musk, white courtesy telephone please."

  21.  PerilOS  Yes, as valued by the conversion rate of the rouble it's in the range of Canada, Spain & Italy. But even giving a high theoretical value to the rouble, it's below Germany. It is not 5th by any measure except maybe some voodoo calculation on Russian state TV.

  22. ​ @afuzzycreature8387  Most instances of using verbs as nouns that aren't sanctioned by dictionaries (e.g. 'encodes') are meant to exclude or to signal cultural status. I read that somewhere anyway.

  24. Why does no one else paint the same picture of China's demographic future as Zeihan does? Everyone else predicts decline, but says it will take much longer. No one else says a solid majority of Chinese will be dead within 27 years (by 2050) with a very small number of births to compensate. He predicts a population under 725m by then. Alarm bells are going off for me. He also misuses words he has never looked up.

  25. Don't forget the endocrine (hormone) disruptors in everything from plastics to cash register receipts (see NYT article "The Types of Plastics Families Should Avoid"). Plastic particles are in our food and water. Even in the air (yes, your home has considerable plastic dust). They're surely embedded in our flesh—they're in the flesh of fish caught in the middle of the ocean, so why not? Very widely prescribed anti-depressants also tend to significantly decrease sex drive. They do this by an unknown mechanism, often sharply and not just temporarily. So I don't know how much we should blame social factors. I suspect that if they were fine biologically, with hormones similar to humans of the past, young people would tell the social engineers to stuff their weird ideas, and then go out on the hunt for the opposite sex, as formerly. As it is, they are suddenly temperamentally very open to outlandish concepts concerning sex. Many of them don't know what gender they are. Many are grossed out by the idea of sex entirely. Tbh, I find they look funny. Younger women show less interest in becoming mothers every year. Males' sperm quality and quantity is very low, and deep voices have become very rare. Between 1990 and 2019, annual per capita childbirths fell 18%. But in the 20-24 group it was -72%. Those 25-29: -43%. Of course, some of that is down to skyrocketing infertility. Our endocrine systems seem to be collapsing.

  26. What a pity that ordinary women have to face this women's spaces business. Because watching the TERFs fight it out with the trans activists is sheer delight. I wish they'd pick up the pace of defaming each other. Doyle is brilliant.

  28.  @GM-db4bv  A poll published last month, the results of which are searchable (Statista article: "Share of people who would vote to stay in NATO if there was a referendum in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) in 2023, by country") showed that Hungarians' support for remaining in NATO is at 89%. But not all 11.3m Hungarians were polled, so you probably don't accept that.😂

  30. If you watch as ex-agent Yuri Bezmenov reveals in Operation Infektion how the KGB used Western media to shape what the West thought of itself, it's impossible not to believe that when the West's enemies saw social media emerge as an incredibly powerful force, it must've looked like a mountain of gold just there for the taking. And so it was.

  33. (1) What they call 'gender affirmation' is 100x closer to being 'gender assignment' than what they actually call 'gender assignment.' Amazing how they always accuse others of doing what they're doing. (2) When anyone tells him/herself that if they question their young child's 'gender identity' it's because they're transphobic, that's when they should know they've been gaslighted. Like a kullt member saying "If I doubt the Leader, surely I must be possessed."

  34. Wokesters think human nature itself can be changed by their activism. It's the classic far-left, socialist, communist, radical feminist error. They think that, well, we get people to drive on the correct side of the road, so surely we can turn humans into ethereal beings by just trying harder. But we are flesh and blood, and that's what horrifies them, what gives them their anxieties, neuroses and all their obvious tics and outright mental illnesses. They're the New Puritans yearning to have no body, only a soul.

  35.  @maxfitnesstraining1585  But where is the well-organized class of white people going around on university campuses and TV asserting that such things are ok? It doesn't exist. If it's wrong, it's wrong, so you shouldn't come anywhere near defending it on the grounds that it's on rare occasions done to your group.

  36.  @maxfitnesstraining1585  You came near it at the very least, mate, as I said. And by telling me to calm down you reveal that you're ready to make a point but not ready to be calmly challenged on it. Try pointing to the part of my reply that wasn't 'calm'.

  44. ​ @gacek5036  There was only one world-leading commentary platform out there to buy. He had to pay what its shareholders were willing to accept. So he did the standard thing and offered 20% over the previous day's closing share price — exactly what the book says you have to do, exactly what his advisor Morgan Stanley suggested. It turned out the market was overvaluing Twitter, but that's not something you can do much about if you're drafting a takeover bid. You go with an offer you expect will eventually find favour.

  49.  @laylaindy  Sure, it may be a sign. But absent a number of additional possible indicators it can be simply a part of bad judgment or immaturity. I think it's important to avoid over-medicalizing behavior that's the least bit unusual, not really sensible or even harmful. You know it's important when you realize that many things are considered acceptable, not unhealthy or even virtuous in one country and unacceptable, pathological or even criminal in others. And even within a single country, it may depend on one's walk of life. (What about a father who works in an anti-gang police squad and regularly participates in conducting raids? Psychopath or hero of society?) Personality psychology is rife with pitfalls.

  50. I daresay most people are a little more intelligent simply for having listened to him attentively for an hour, even if they forget immediately what he said. Something of his powers of analysis will remain with them and add to their own, briefly at least.
