And I'm not against LGB youths having safe spaces to be comfortable with their sexuality. Why do you keep forgetting that I suggested looking for other LGB teens and forming friendships with them (you can even befriend straights who don't mind gays) whether in real life or online (create a forum for LGB teens)? The reason I distrust the Zebra Youth program is because it's associated with Disney, who are letting naked men at their pride parades, which is a form of grooming as children getting used to nudity reduces their instinctive wariness of unnatural personal boundaries, which will then open the door for an adult to persuade a child into taking their own clothes off and put them in a perilous situation

Trannie Victimized By Ben Shapiro

I have never heard someone scream to the heavens about how much they're a victim without saying they're a victim, until I saw this. I mean, wow!

And even though this entity is supposed to present as male, it originally started out as female, and continues to cry like a woman the entire conversation, so I will be referring to this person as their appropriate sexual identity. So this innie-wanna-be-an-outie spent five minutes ranting to Ben about how she's, according to her, the victim of sexual assault and got pregnant as a result, and the ability to have an abortion saved her life. I would like to point out the irony that this woman has a very strong desire to be a man(and clearly, making yourself look like Will Weaton is just the peak of masculinity for her). And on the subject of her "assault", I find it quite odd that she would describe it as such and not full on rape, especially since, as with all activists, she'd try to milk it for all its worth, also especially since it led to her getting knocked up. If it was just an "assault", until I see evidence otherwise, I'm going to chalk it up to a drunken one-night-stand that led to buyer's remorse. And then, like the Karen she truly is, this poor pitiful soul just went off about the patriarchy and how Ben, solely Ben it seems, is denigrating and putting down the needs of the trans community, especially trans black women(remember folks, if you want to put emphasis on how much a class needs protecting, just put the word "black" at the start of it!). So once more, while railing against men and the patriarchy, this individual came down with a case of penis envy, and tried to make herself into the very thing that she hates:

This bitch could give Anakin Skywalker tips on self-loathing! The whole time she was popping off, I wanted Ben to ask her "If you hate the patriarchy so much, why did you try to become a man?" I mean, that's what I would ask her! But then again, this is not a mentally sound individual, and I just love how Ben is just staring at this being, trying, like the rest of us, to comprehend the amount of pain and shame that is coursing through her soul to be vomited up in the form of verbal diarrhea, while also laughing at this clownish buffoon! As I said before, no matter how bad my life may get, at least I'm not as fucked up as this individual. Now if you'll excuse me, I got a fan-made Death Battle to work on.

Refugees should have to pay rent to stay in this country. They should be required to surrender all weapons and valuables, they will stay in designated camps and will not leave without a permit. They will not have the rights of citizens and they will not have representation in government.

In an ideal society, they would and would be treated as the dregs of society until they proved themselves to be useful.

Yes, they should not get to go out in public unless they can prove they are not criminal.

Along with having ID on them so people know who they are.

Friends, countrymen, fellow degenerate deplorables, the DNC have swapped Biden out for a repeat of the 2016 election on fucking steroids! By EVERY conceivable metric, Trump is spanking Harris's ass before the entire world, and we're applauding him for it! But we still need to go out and vote. I did, the first chance I got I went out and put my mark on the Trump/Vance ticket! But honestly, I'm calling it right now for Trump. And when he does, he's going to enter Washington like Aragorn taking his rightful place in Minas Tirith

The Persona series and its Shin Megami Tensei spinoff series are absolutely woke shit meant to spew out anti-patriotic rhetoric against Japanese nationalists. Remember Tamagachi or Masayoshi Shido? If you look at the illegal migrant crisis Japan is having right now with the Kurds and their fucking barber shops, Indonesian Islamists, Chinese Tongs and Triads and Middle Eastern savages and retarded Western influencers, you'll perfectly see why nationalism is truly a must, even if it has to be "ultra" by nature but it is nothing like what the Nazis did to the Poles, Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, British and American soldiers at Autschwitz.

It's the most overrated game series made by Atlus that never sat well with me given my personal political beliefs, regardless of which country I am from.

When you consider the debates, the context of "who won" should be determined by "what's talked about next month.
And what's talked about is people finding out what's going on in Springfield, and a giant cat meme perpetually forcing attention on the issue
...
Pretty sure that means Trump won. The narrative went exactly where he wanted it to.

In fact you can do child friendly drag shows. I mean what people like RuPaul, Flip Wilson etc did is in many cases very child friendly. RuPaul even hosted a talk show that was very child friendly and alot of the shows she stars in have been more child friendly.


In fact I hope sexualized media causes little girls to feel bad about themselves and improve their appearance so they don't end up single and alone as feminist cat ladies. Just like boys should try to be Adonises.

But it's NOT just one idiot on Twitter. These are not isolated experiences...there are educators and entire schools who bypass parents entirely and discuss transition surgery and have sexually explicit programs with small children. It's most prominent in California and Washington, but it's being discovered all over.


Social contagion is real; it is a proven psychological phenomenon. Audrey Hale did not make her decisions out of nothing.


When little children are murdered and people applaud and justify, others notice. When people are attacked by others who dress in paramilitary gear and carry long arms, others notice. When major retailers begin carrying clothing designed to cater to a tiny demographic such as trans children, others notice. All of these things add up to a rather specific message.

A fundamental flaw of woke is "right makes might".

It's an attitude of "i an doing the right thing, therefore i will succeed, therefore anyone who doesn't believe me must be wrong and must be actively a threat"


This belief of the right to succeed supercedes hard work and attention to detail ... which leads to failure.


Hence: go woke go broke

Yet the rainbow mob who circles the wagons and denies the pedos exist among them, or if they do, they proudly extoll them.


Unlike the alphabets however, Christians/Republicans excise the pedos from among our ranks. We DO police our own. We don't defend them, we get them removed. We don't wagon circle and deny they exist. We do, however, tend to wait for proof to emerge first, and once we have proof, then we go after them and get them removed. We don't just accept blind accusations at face value. We require proof first. That's why it may seem to our opponents that we defend the pedos within our ranks, but if we do, it's only because there are accusations made without proof to back it up.


The alphabet mob on the other hand cheer and parade their pedophilic acts for the world to see. They extoll the likes of "Desmond is Amazing," a boy who dances in drag for grown men and even strips for them, like it's wonderful.

I'll come clean. I can't be objective about this because I've been beaten and abused for my skin color, my religion, my nationality most of my life. I've been denied jobs, I've been denied college applications, I've been lambasted and spit on for being 'the villain' in every way that mattered to a world brought up to despise me and my family.

My father was called 'baby killer' for voting for Bush. My mom was disowned by my brother as a 'trophy wife' because she chose to raise children instead of pursue her medical career. I've had my church vandalized several times and defecated on. I've had my email and my account on this very channel hacked for my views.

I used to have a different DA account but someone put me on a 'hate list' and used my credit card to send my insulting things through the mail so I needed to reboot my entire identity. I've had friends leave me and hurt themselves because of gender confusion and the nihilism caused by terror of climate change and Trump blamed over every media outlet. Basically my life was destroyed because of the jolly politics you purport to worship, and not once have I seen ANY benefit from those grand progressive plans.

I've witnessed every franchise I love die and be worn as a skin suit for the same simpleminded agendas so even my imagination is under siege. No dreams for you, colonizer.

Right now I live with my ailing parents who can't get work because of endless lockdowns and regulations and I suffer from physical ailments due to constant stress from being singled out daily and living in fear I'll be doxed or removed again for saying the wrong things. But I've ceased to care. I don't care anymore becasue I don't have any hope.


But yes, I'm not a victim because my great great great ancestors owned slaves (even though I'm actually probably descended from slaves myself) thanks to the color of my skin.

That isn't grooming. Growing up into a sexual and sexualized adult is a part of life. If that is grooming, then by your own standard nature is the biggest groomer of all as nature turns children into sexualized adults. Boys grow into sexualized adult men; girls grow up to be sexualized adult women. Sexualized women and men should be role models for girls and boys as that is what an idealized mature adult looks like and that is what most women and men regardless of sexual orientation are attracted too. That isn't grooming unless you think that nature, puberty and sexual maturation is grooming which from a MAP's point of view I can see why you would argue that.


Plus, that isn't even the definition of grooming. Showing sexualized adults as the natural idealized role models for children is not grooming. A person using explicit sexual material on the pornographic end and manipulating a child for sexual and rape purposes is grooming. Showing a sexualized woman or man as the natural ideal for women and men aka the Venus and the Adonis is not grooming it is nature and the idea that being a mature sexualized and idealized adult is the ideal end for girls and boys as it always has been. Honestly the route people like you take of keeping people perpetual children is why the West is falling apart. Also Drag is about satire, parody and it does so in many cases by using highly sexualized humor, modes of dress etc. They dress to be outrageously sexual for humor and arousal. Many Drag Queens even admit they like to have sex with their adult male fans at these meetings. It is transvestite sexual humor. Now it can be made to be child friendly but much of what we no as Drag is highly sexualized male transvestite material that people do find arousing and that is the point.

Stormy-Chameleon: I am on the brink of tears

One of my friends just blocked me because of my beliefs.

Said he refused to be my friend just because I didn't support him

I've been endlessly respectful and tried as hard as I could to make him feel comfortable around me, especially since he has told me so much about his past and mental health and it has been such a struggle for me to find the right way to talk to him without him being confused or uncomfortable. I love how this is my reward for how much struggle I've put into this just to help him. I thought all this hate and disrespect for me and my religion was over

PikaTheCat: I had the same problem with one of my friends as well

Stormy-Chameleon: Awww , do you kind telling me the story?

PikaTheCat: We were friends for a while and they used to be Christian as well but then they changed to be queer and just blocked me because they didn’t feel comfortable around me because of my beliefs

Stormy-Chameleon: Bro that's really screwed up. If he or she used to have the same opinions wouldn't she or he understand what you thought?

PikaTheCat: They used to be female then wanted to be a male and chose to be queer, I don’t know why they did it

It was to highlight the lie that the LGBTQ community are under some sort of attack from those who disagree with them. It is demonstrably, dangerously untrue.


The above poster is pushing the lie that LGBTQ people are being persecuted. This mode of thought is dangerous not simply because it is a lie, but because it is being used as some sort of sick justification for violence against innocent people.


Immediately after the Nashville horror, pundits in the LGBTQ community were quick to defend the killer and blame the victims. The "Trans Resistance Network" made the statement that "hate has consequences."


Imagine being so utterly fucked up that you would justify killing little children for imagined wrongs.


And just what are these imagined wrongs?


Schools have been busted secretly coaching little children on transition surgery and homosexual studies, doing it behind the backs of parents and without notifying them. And when the parents fight back against it, people like the Trans Resistance Network throw a fit.


So...what's the lesson normal people are supposed to glean from that? "Let us transition your nine-year-old or we're going to shoot up your school?"


Because as of right now, that's EXACTLY what is happening.

Brotherofsteel5 #sexist #transphobia deviantart.com

Oh yes! Females custodians! Add wokism in 40k to tell us we must like it!

(By the way have you seen the recents black s library books? Stories of astra militarium, of course, with courageous and braves FEMALES guards. )


Seriously always the same shit: Trying to make us believe "womyns" can do the same things than men, and even, they can do it BETTER.

Oh yes feminists and wokes, you are so badass.

So badass, i can't wait to see liberals libertarians with green hairs- their-prunumis-They/them, who will enlist in armies of westerns countries.


You want to remember the reality? In Europe, the military service was an obligation for every YOUNG MEN, until the 90's.

But not for WOMEN.

Have you heard feminists complaining about it?


And now, just imagine that, with all the mess there are in the world today.

What could happen, if military service, is re-established in western Europe countries?

What if young men MUST be present in caserns when their studies are over?

If that happen, i'm courious to see how somes peoples, so happy to see "strong females characters" , "gender-fluids heroes", or "heroes from diversity" in movies and comics, will react.

I'm sure they will gladly enlist them/shem/theirselves to serve their country, to doing the same things they see in theatres.

I said is of the nature to give birth. Infertility among women is the exception that proves the rule. The fact that a women goes to the doctor to try and fix it implies that she is supposed to be fertile.

A man who can't give birth wouldn't even think to go to the doctor to see why he can't give birth. Because he is not of the nature to give birth.

Boskov01 #homophobia #elitist #fundie deviantart.com

It's why I proudly display the hashtag #NotAnAlly in my profiles, because we were warned, loudly, repeatedly, what allowing gay marriage to become legal would lead to. The Slippery Slope was proven true. I defy anyone to prove me wrong. The argument was that they'd come for our children, and here we are, fighting tooth and nail to try and protect our kids from being mutilated or groomed by these sick bastards!


Yeah, you have the ones that just want to live their lives, but they do nothing to police and stop the pedophiles and child mutilators. When we started calling out the groomers that wanted to dance in front of kids, the groomers went and hid behind a pride flag, pointing at us and screaming "Homophobes!" rallying the rest of the alphabet mob against us.


And do I need to mention things like the Hogwarts Legacy controversy, where innocent people like Pikamee/Henya got bullied and harassed by the troons and their supporters? It's shit like that, that only turns more people against them.


But like I say, we were warned what would happen. And it's not like we had much choice once Obergfell came down from SCOTUS. God willing though, we'll get a SCOTUS one day in the future that'll overturn Obergfell so that then we can move to ban and outlaw the alphabets once again, to bring us back to sanity and decency again.


And history shows that day is likely to come sooner than some of us believe. Just like when the Roman Empire fell, the alphabet nonsense that was running rampant in their day, saw a hard snap back to morality and decency, sending the alphabets screaming back into the closet for nearly 2000 years. And America is tracking just like the Roman Empire is in its decline. It's only a matter of time.


However, I will say that it does feel like this year's pride month was more subdued and mellow by comparison to last year. I suspect the troons got such a huge backlash to their disgusting behavior that they toned it down to avoid the headlines highlighting their disgusting behavior. Plus it's an election year and they probably realize that their degeneracy is going to cost the Democrats votes. We'll see what happens next June. After all, troon acceptance has been in steady decline as of late. So hopefully the alphabet sickness will be coming to an end before we know it.

It's worth remembering that back in 2020 trump signed a order starting all institutions that endorse inequality (effectively all woke companies, since "blame whitey" is the opposite of "not judged by the color of your skin") will be barred from all gov contracts


This would spell the actual financial doom of all things woke. It would also castrate the education system, as they're all gov funded and woke as fuck.


While Biden (under his master's orders) hasn't enforced it ... trump certainly would once back in office.


This should give all liberals fear.

For all liberals are woke

Let's look at the logic with this whole pronoun nonsense let's say, for the sake of argument, you're a manager of, let's say, 50 employees and a 1/3, roughly 17, of those employees have preferred pronouns can you imagine the confusion in that when I business promotes that nonsense regardless of ESG?

Atticus-Kotch #fundie #conspiracy #crackpot deviantart.com

Still crazy that 48 hours ago, we nearly lost Trump to some deranged assassin.

They couldn't impeach him, so they tried to bankrupt him.
They couldn't bankrupt him, so they tried to put him in jail.
They couldn't put him in jail...so the next logical step was to kill him.

Given the past 8 years of constant "Trump is Hitler" rhetoric being spewed by the MSN, I shouldn't be surprised that something like this would happen. And a part of me hoped it wouldn't escalate this far. But, here we are.

My condolences go to Corey Comperatore's family. Corey was the firefighter who was shot protecting his family during the rally. He shouldn't have died.

And he wouldn't have if the secret service had done their job. I still don't understand how they left that rooftop completely unguarded. It had direct line of sight of the stage. So it's no wonder that many people think that it was an inside job, and the shooter was basically allowed to get up there and open fire. Or it was as insane levels of incompetence.

And it's gross how many leftists are angry that the guy didn't hit Trump. We got Jack Black and Tenacious D talking about how "next time they shouldn't miss." Mark Hamill deleting a tweet celebrating the shots that were fired, then replacing it with the usual "I don't condone violence" message to make himself look better. Just take a look at people like Libs of Tiktok, and you'll find plenty of other examples too.

The silver lining is just how much this assassination attempt has galvanized the Trump base. I am 100% ready to to see his second term after he's declared the winner in November.

I'm glad Trump survived. But I get a bad feeling this won't be the last attempt on his life. Here's hoping I'm wrong.

Boskov01 #conspiracy #crackpot #wingnut deviantart.com

Because it's brainwashing 101. I'll keep reminding people as many times as I have to until people get it that this is what they're trying to do. To brainwash people, you have to inundate them, bombard them 24/7/365 with "the message" and give them no relief or no alternatives that don't preach "the message." Every piece of media the subject consumes must preach "the message" so that eventually they'll just instinctively repeat/regurgitate "the message" themselves. If the subject has access to anything that doesn't preach "the message" or worse explicitly countermands "the message" then the brainwashing could fail completely.


That is why the Woke literally do want every book, movie, TV show, and video game to be Woke. It's so that their lies and propaganda are seeped into everything and we have no escape. Make no mistake though, it's not us living now that they're focused on. It's future generations. They're playing a longer game. Kids are going to grow up in a world where their media is woke and they'll grow up believing that wokeness is normal. It falls on us, the non-Woke to fight against and defeat Wokeness NOW before it's too late.

I still think the whole "Queers for pallystein" bunch are peak masochism. I mean they're advocating for a group that would slaughter the lot of them without a second thought or a hint of remorse. That's not even D-u-m dumb or s-t-o-o-p-i-d stupid. That's just plain suicidal! Is their logic that "if we advocate for pallystein they'll be more progressive towards us?" because that'll never happen! EVERY muslim majority nation outlaws rainbow lifestyles, some of them on penalty of death.


I really hope some of this bunch are stupid enough to actually take our advice and travel to a muslim majority country to try and advocate for their lifestyle and then watch their shocked pikachu faces as they get hurled off of a rooftop to the cheering crowds of bag heads below.

Like many others he doesn't realise that, the real combat is the globalists against the patriot.

The world of the merchant, the money, the seduction by a totaly free and unregulated capitalism, who just want destroy everything who could limit his power, and his domination, and those limits, those last barriers are

- The love of peoples for their countries, their land, their culture.

- Everything who is about religion, spirituality.

-The familly, the education and everything who imply morals values.

- But also the freedom of mind, of thinking.

Recently one of my memes was taken down by Deviantart for being "hate speech".

Now this is of course ridiculous, as the content of said meme is actually comprised of direct quotes from Karl Marx, and five other communist dictators about their opinions on LGBTlmnopxyz... The idea being that it would expose the communist dictators, and their actual opinions on the subject. So, if that is "hate speech", then according to Deviantart's own policy, any pro-communist rhetoric, and specifically pro-Marxist, rhetoric should be taken down for the same reason.

This is also against the values of the first amendment of the United States, because believe it or not, "hate speech" is protected by it (which as pointed out earlier the meme isn't even hateful).

Anyway, in complete defiance of the anti-1a policy here is the meme

Hollywood and video game industry have something in common they are seeing less money and less customers and harder for stuff to break-even and make profits enough to run the company without layoffs and budget cuts. People focusing on old and retro movies, tv shows, video games. Woke, social justice, etc has chase away enough people retro and nostalgia being enjoyed more and more.

Modern Who is quickly destroying itself. Between the previous two "doctors" being unwanted and the most disliked, and now Tennent, arguably the most popular doctor of the modern generation, destroying himself, the IP is joining Star Wars and Disney, holding on by a thread.


The only problem is Dr. Who has some padding and protection against Get Woke, Go Broke as the BBC survives off of the TV Licenses that UK citizens have to pay for to watch TV (There's a lot more to it than that but in a nutshell it's essentially state funded. A British person can explain it better than I can). It has protections but is not at all immune from Get Woke, Go Broke. Toy and merch sales are plummeting and I've spoken to a few guys, one of whom is an avid Dalek cosplayer who has said he's not going out to any more Who conventions after what's become of the IP in the last decade.
