My 16 year old daughter is pissed but not surprised. She's very realistic about the world and said it just shows how much people hate women. I'm glad we live in California at least because she's gay. I would be terrified raising her anywhere else in this messed up country and very glad she won't be in the dating pool with these Gen Z boys. Shit is dire.

Has someone in this thread stated that every man alive is spouting Andrew Tate levels of bullshit?

Disingenuous bullshit. This is literally what these woke nuts do, except it's not "every man alive" and just "men" instead. They sure love saying "men do X bad thing" without isolating specific people or communities. But generalize women or trans women and all hell breaks loose.

Eimi AKA Valkaria is just gaslighting by trying to take hyperbole literally, but even then you can probably still find responses in the thread that are "men say sexist bullshit all the time, screw men"

How many times do we have to tell you chuds "Yes, All Men" does not mean all men! I'm so tired.

[Ribosome]

Marching orders are out.

"Gen Z men" is the acceptable demo scapegoat for the people who have something of an awareness that they shouldn't be openly railing about Latinos and black men.

Cross posting from the US Politics thread because if Resetera wants to figure out why the Dems lost they should start here:

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/07/us/politics/trump-win-election-harris.html

But the ad, with its vivid tagline — “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you” — broke through in Mr. Trump’s testing to an extent that stunned some of his aides.

So they poured still more money into the ads, running them during football games, which prompted Charlamagne Tha God, the host of the Breakfast Club, a popular show among Black listeners, to express exasperation — and his on-air complaints gave the Trump team fodder for yet another commercial. The Charlamagne ad ranked as one of the Trump team’s most effective 30-second spots, according to an analysis by Future Forward, Ms. Harris’s leading super PAC. It shifted the race 2.7 percentage points in Mr. Trump’s favor after viewers watched it.

I always find it kinda disturbing and saddening when I hear that these insane woke fucks are actually parents. You know they're just poisoning these young kids with all kinds of sick propaganda from their own diseased minds.

Sometimes I don't even like to believe that they have kids, mostly because I just really don't like the fact they procreated, and as the father/mother/non-binary parental unit of the kid, they're home free to instill crazy woke delusional nonsense on completely on young, vulnerable, still developing minds. Imagine something like a kid getting treats/goodies for repeating woke propaganda, or getting punished because they committed wrongthink.

Like I feel that user's 16 year old daughter, if she even is real, could probably just be going through a gay phase with how trendy it is to be LGBT and their father regularly posts on Resetera. Maybe that's just my own superstition and biases at play, but it sounds so disturbing to me.

As me and Propagandhim have been saying, their entire philosophy is to just do nothing and be miserable as forces beyond your control move you around in their wake. They simply cannot fathom that someone would not just want to do their job but think they might be able to use their job and position to reverse or help reduce events they don't like. Their natural inclination is to be deliberately helpless and then bitch that they aren't getting their way.

Being up front. I have not been keeping up with reading this thread for months. And I only have a very surface level understanding what the recent spat was about.

As a regular mod, I might be able to answer some generic questions and comment on procedure. But as soon as I pop my head in here people will expect me to address all the recent issues.

Like I absolutely would expect to be quoted on anything I post in here with questions about "Well what about XYZ, you're ignoring those questions/concerns."
Which is fair to an extent, as it's true.

To address a concrete line of discussion above I think having a consistent way of temporarily extracting oneself from politics discussion seems fair and is definitely something that has been discussed before.
That said I think there is definitely a lot of grey area in what we should be filtering [out].
There will undoubtedly be plenty of breaking news in the coming years that will massively impact large parts of the population, and everyone should be aware of those.

Here is my take, presented as a post-mortem of the first quarter of this century.

- George W was the ultimate representation of the establishment at its worst. A puppet of Wall Street, corporate lobbyists and warhawks. Even Republicans got sick of it. His presidency culminates with the 2008 financial crisis. Every day people suffer. The banks that caused it get bailed out, millions lose their homes. Middle America has had an absolute gutfull of the establishment. They want massive, massive change.

- Along comes Barack Obama, an impossibly charismatic man with the ability to move an audience unseen since MLK. He manages to miraculously sell people on the idea that this change can happen within the existing system. That there is more that unites us that divides us. That Democrats and Republicans can work across the aisle to make the American dream a reality for all, blah blah blah.

- It was bullshit. His charisma carries him through two terms, but it is still the same old establishment. Wars continue, drone strikes galore, the lobbyists still have the keys to the kingdom. But now on top of that we see some of the most partisan bullshittery in congress. Fuck all gets done. A whole 8 year presidency basically revolves around the debate over whether providing affordable healthcare to everyone is an egregious assault on freedom. It doesn't matter that GOP obstructionism was causing the legislative gridlock… to most people, it was just the same old Washington bullshit.

- Then we get to 2016 - the ultimate political sliding doors moment. There is a brief generational crossroads moment when people were hungry to try something radical and different. Anti-establishment sentiment was at fever pitch. Only one party ends up offering something different to voters. The Republicans offer up Donald Trump and right-wing anti-establishment populism. Bernie Sanders was the Democrats' man for this moment. He offered a similar anti-establishment brand that spoke to the same disaffected and middle-class voters that Trump was speaking to, but instead of divisive racism and bigotry, he was selling an effective message that that showed people that they were united by social/economic class rather than divided by race. He was generating incredible enthusiasm from everyday people. The internet embraced him, including many young males who were in the formative phase of developing their political identity - the "Bernie Bros".

- We know what happens next. I won't relitigate it, but the DNC gave us Hillary. "It was her turn".

- Michael Moore sounded the alarm bells. He was mocked. Trump wins, bigly. Instead of criticising the DNC for running a campaign that utterly misread the mood of the electorate, some of us (including me) blame the Bernie Bros for failing to fall-in line behind a party they have zero connection to. Some of them become very disenchanted and will go on to become easy meat and ultimately useful idiots for the alt-right and other political grifters.

- 2020 through a perfect storm of Covid and the general awfulness of Trump, the electorate experiences a slight moment nostalgia for how things used to be. Despite major predictions of a Biden landslide, he squeaks through by the narrowest of margins. People rejoice that Trumpism has been defeated. They were wrong.

- If Obama wasn't the very last chance for the establishment to show it could deliver, then Biden was the absolute last chance saloon. He did the best he could despite the best obstructionist efforts of the GOP House of Reps. The global economy struggles as they try to piece back together supply chain after COVID. Inflation soars. It's Joever.

- 2024 becomes a mirror of 2016. Trump's anti-establishment right wing populism vs the next hand-picked chosen one from the DNC Line of Succession, this time without even the illusion of a mandate that comes from winning a primary. "At least she was Vice-President… it's her turn."
Trump wins.

And now here we are, passionately debating who is next anointed senator or governor in the line of succession. "Whose turn is it?"

Thought this was an extremely rare good poli-era post. Does lack nuance but so does every post made on a forum, ever.
