With our luck, his ultimate point will be that human nature being what it is, terror overarching the world will alone bring peace (as though “peaceful” is really just a synonym for “timid”?). Much like how some medieval theologians apparently believed that even through Heaven’s eternity, the cherubim and the saved humans would always be terrified of God.

I take it “then let us no longer be as powerful as medieval dukes” was considered a horrid idea for…some reason. I know mudsill theory was A Thing (i.e. the idea that without a foundation of some people as irrevocable drudges, intellectual development would be impossible), but I wonder how many plantation archons genuinely believed it.

Not that the refinement seemed to be taking, not with duel culture’s very existence. What would they call a society utterly bereft of brutality and vengefulness, anyway?

I’d take “so I can do as I please” more seriously if I had a sense of what pleases them, or rather if they have knowledge of what pleases them in the first place. The phrasing isn’t doing much to suggest they’re trained in long-term planning (and, probably erroneously, that they don’t really care for putting their sapience to use).

Well, the usual idea is that the innocent have nothing to fear, unlike the guilty. So if they remain obedient to the “small” demands of the theocracy, their freedom in all else will go untrammeled.

That this doesn’t really go further than freedom of aesthetics is probably considered to be how God understood “freedom” from even before creating Jesus and Lucifer.

Any ingenuity/art/etc. can’t be self-evoked…? This puts me annoyingly in mind of von Däniken, whose incredulity was basically “non-Europeans couldn’t possibly have done better than Europeans in any one thing at any point in history” (so he thought peoples necessarily follow the exact same rates of intellectual discovery, just with different starting times??? I’m not sure that’s how his racism formed, but it’s my best template guess at the moment). Maybe also bits of non-Gaian Gnosticism (nothing that deserves real consideration in this “malformed” physical universe; free yourself to be able to enter the “true” spiritual/pleromatic universe instead) or even plain fundagelicalism (beauty et al. only coming from direct links to the divine…which sounds kind of like the last parenthesis).

Stew Peters and Kandiss Taylor #fundie #psycho

Peters will need to explain how displeasing him is a felony. He should prepare to hear the laughter of the prophet Habakkuk nonstop.

Carl Horowitz #racist

Not quite. The “di” in “divide” and “diverse” ultimately means “two” or “double”, being a synecdoche for “multiple” here. However, the “vide” means “separate”–so “separated into multiple parts”–while the “verse” means “turn”, so “many facets”…or more likely something less poetic. So probably time to brush up on your Latin etymology, for starters.

Long story short, diversity doesn’t auto-imply division. If anything, probably greater completeness than uniformity’s single facet.

Forward Synthesis #elitist #wingnut

Wouldn’t it be a better idea to have everyone ultimately be of the same timbre as your (putative) elite? Come to think of it, why wouldn’t the non-elite have a vested interest in a stable constitution, or Kropotkin-anarchic equivalent thereof? (Remember that “anarchy” is “no archons”, not “no laws nor customs”.) Despite what the fundagelical party line might tell you, humans are not inherently treacherous, amoral horrors. ~~Although painting us as that might have been why the Enuma Elish posited that we were created from the evil Qingu’s remains…~~

The way such ones act, I worry that they’ll next look for “sources” of “injury” on allistic children who still aren’t extroversion incarnate (without entering into Williams Syndrome territory, mind).

Heather Mac Donald and Megyn Kelly #racist #wingnut #conspiracy

I doubt Europe alone held the ideas you speak of, especially considering all the resistance the upper class showed (especially in the United States, as the Civil War evinced). The keystone is arguably anti-classism, which you do see manifest small-scale throughout history, usually before the local archons curtail it yet again…

On the Equality front, just for one bit, patriarchy wasn’t always the order of the day before Susan B. Anthony et al. (who didn’t always make sure they involved non-white women…). Just look at Scythia.

Well, Trump does expect deference without in turn implementing responsibility. No dog/wolf pack formation would ever have a place for the likes of him.

And good luck getting consistent deference from a cat or ferret.

I think “mog” was postulated to be short for “move over, guy” (i.e. his mere presence is alleged to showcase stark superiority in whatever preceded “mog”)? In other words, he’s incredulous that a “Tyrone” who should be able to take whatever woman he fancies most instead “settles for” a presumably somewhat homely woman.

That he might not be thinking even remotely in terms of trophy bedmates (because they only think in terms of trophies, period) obviously hasn’t occurred to him.

{sigh} For the quintillionth time, autism is not a malady. I doubt the book acknowledges it, but it seems autism is “just” a situation where notably less in utero dendrite pruning occurs than usual. The trick is that the rest of the brain generally expects pruned levels in turn, so overload is a consistent concern. Just not constantly a bane, given proper care. Read: You can’t merely mimic what works for allistic children and expect to get a good result.

The “not an author of disorder” part just meant that sectarian strife was not El’s intent, anyway. It has nothing to do with neurology.

Kristi Noem #psycho

@Sasha #195916

When that sort of diction gets used by conservatives, the “irrational emotion” is almost as a rule compassion and kindness–The Farmer and the (probably panicked >>; ) Viper. Wrath and its kin, meanwhile, get treated as rational, if truly emotion at all (q.v. the ideal conservative man who’s a theme park stoic except for when his wrath is brought to bear). So this is her idea of her bona fides for being tough and “rationally” wroth when “weak” liberals and socialists would let “invaders” use them as doormats. Or someone just insults the nation’s honor, so someone needs to be tough and furious enough to demand satisfaction–like she extracted “satisfaction” out of the dog and goat with their lives.

(Sound the alarm if I let the metaphors and similes get too tangled…)

Think more in terms of “perfectly capable of making tough decisions in favor of rational power rather than irrational emotion”. Which definitely fits with ASPD strands…

Wanting government to be like a business, I’ve heard about. But this sounds like she thinks governments (and with my luck all organizations) are businesses, likely just from (alleged) human nature.

I already suspect she’s a minarcho-right-libertarian.

Nn, I just have trouble with the idea that True Men™️ need to be cruel to someone, anyone, as some odd sort of existential need. As well as how deeming anyone an outlaw in the Old English sense was right and just.

Was it that hard to consider even the possibility of authoritarianism and impunity as aberrations?

And, I’d note, Helheim was not an awful place, certainly not after Baldr became a guest of honor there. I have a feeling the condition Hel gave for sending Baldr back to Midgard was actually “Prove you need him more than we do, especially since he finally has the purpose he desired in life here.”.

Bruce Charlton #fundie

That would require a view that Existence and Suffering are absolute synonyms. But last I checked, Schopenhauer and Mainländer don’t exactly enjoy a notable amount of philosophical following these days. (Thank the heavens.)

I think the issue with this kind of claim, honestly, is that they think the only rational thing anyone can focus on is the infinite future. In the case of Charlton et al., that would be eternity in Jesus’s presence (is he supposed to be some kind of bliss elemental?). I’m pretty sure the Jews would contest that kind of focus, and they often hold to an afterlife existing, even if one that’s mostly infinite dreaming or thereabouts (i.e. Sheol). Not fully conscious, outside of Zoroastrian influence.

But the receiving man would be dishonored, through no fault of his own. (Last I checked, strength and morality don’t intersect like that.) Not exactly a net gain in honor for the community.

What would such ones call a community (or world) utterly bereft of the taint of dishonor?

Andrew Tate #crackpot #homophobia #kinkshaming #sexist #forced-birth

@Conscience #195710

Not necessarily closet, or even likely. More that he thinks sexual pleasure is, or properly is, as nothing before the feeling of dominating and subjugating the Other in various ways. I suppose bearing sons (he probably sees daughters as only good for forging betrothal pacts) can be seen as subjugating or service-pressing her bloodline?

Andrew Anglin #homophobia #transphobia

…He knows the L means “lesbian”, yes? Not exactly an innate case of convex-in-concave.

Unless he thinks “properly raised and matured” women have no sexual strands beyond “obedience to husband” and “lying back and thinking of the homeland”. If not are flatly anhedonic.

Andrew Tate #crackpot #homophobia #kinkshaming #sexist #forced-birth

@Malingspann #195685

Better still, Tate-gay is “anything short of 100% yang and domineering”. Although given how dominance tends to work, that tacitly means that there can only be one (1) fully straight man at a time, just as with how Trump’s idea of “winner” likely goes. With himself on that throne, of course.

Reece #conspiracy #crackpot #homophobia #kinkshaming #quack #sexist

Pretty odd claim, that liking musculature is necessarily male-desiring/that female-desiring means wanting a waif. (I have my suspicions about how he regards female desire, hence the phrasing.) I have a hunch Scythia would be laughing at that all day long.

Ken Ham #fundie

Bad time to point out “Baal” was a title, not a name? I get you’ll be thinking mostly of the Ugaritic deity Hadad, but even El got the Baal title once, as Baal Berith of Bethel.

I have a feeling the assailants were mostly looking for “definitely not a chador” (e.g. legs discernible from one another). That most anyone else might call many of the “valid” targets not at all sexy probably didn’t enter the equation; plausible deniability of premeditation is likely the point.

No thought that this sort of control mania is (a) unnecessary for civilized life, and (b) typically evil?

EDIT: After reading the article proper, this might be more about ideas of selling out not sexually, but culturally—not being a carbon copy of the One True Arabic/Moroccan/Pakistani/whichever Feminine Mien™️. Assailing individuality and/or cultural melding as innately traitorous.

Unfortunately, the screenshot wasn’t in the forum I remembered. {sigh} I remember it was a scan or photo of a page of a short story or book, and offhandedly referred to the “men and women” of the Custodes, or at least general Space Marines, attending some manner of rally.

Unicorn #transphobia

As though there’s no such thing as neuter clothing of any sort, or cis women who genuinely favor masculine garb. (The woman who inadvertently set off the gender reveal party craze? The connected daughter is cis, but definitely not gender-conforming.) I know some things won’t fit the new bauplan, but I doubt the entire wardrobe is guaranteed to be swapped out.

Brotherofsteel5 #sexist #transphobia

Told you this recollection (yes, there were circa 2005 releases which referenced female Custodes; they just fell by the wayside until now) would get us offering material.

Wayne Allyn Root #conspiracy #dunning-kruger #wingnut

James Howard Kunstler #wingnut #sexist #conspiracy

Knowing how pseudo-evolutionary pseudo-psychology goes, the commentary about boundary-setting being inescapably patriarchal distills down to “possessiveness and jealousy are the sole viable foundations of civilization” from here. Note that capitalism, certainly in practice, extends this to wealth, not just to breeding vectors and ~~bloodbound workers~~children.

Wonder how much their criticism of Marx, Makhno, Kropotkin, etc. dipped/dips into homophobic ideas.

Liz Wheeler #forced-birth #fundie #wingnut

Lydia Netzer #ableist

Attwood’s Jekyll-and-Hyde situation was basically about autistic children venting (severely) at home because they found it much safer to do so there than in public. The adults at home would at least be more likely to take their frustrations seriously. In modern parlance, it’s born of stress from having to mask as allistic/-adjacent so much. (I must have been fortunate in facing no sneering in high school while making no secret of my autism.)

Misinterpreting the Jekyll-and-Hyde situation like this makes me worry for her treatment of allistic children (if not allistic people in general) as well.

So this wasn’t about Games Workshop reminding its fanbase (a couple of decades or so after the fact) that female Custodes exist?

(This is where someone should adapt a picture of Lisa Lisa from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure into a Custodian. So what if she’s human, rather than of Kars’s species?)

Believe you me, scour the web for that topic, and you’ll get PLENTY of offerings for here.

Lemurian Fellowship #crackpot #fundie #ufo

@Conscience #195071

As long as you don’t go much further back than 10,000 years, maybe. Notice that Lemuria was supposed to have sunk 26,000 years ago, and Atlantis 8,000. The idea is that compared to those (putative) paradises, we’re still not much to speak of. Just don’t ask me what the hallmarks of Lemuria and pre-corruption Atlantis were supposed to be. Psionics? Cherubim walking/flying in their midst as equals? (I don’t think the light-years heights in texts like 1 Enoch, or at least its contemporaries, have much foundation in the Tanakh proper?) Lifespans of 800 years or so? Total absence of infectious disease? Other?

Tor and Nostr at least aren’t innately malign, despite how such scurrilous things as Silk Road greatly depend/ed on the former. Bitcoin, however, is strict scam, and environmentally woeful to boot. Being putatively censorship-proof does not exonerate it. Let cryptocurrency be dispelled in full.

…”Seduction” of Eve? Not “beguilement” or “deceit”? I already worry where this is headed. Likewise where Shelley is concerned—is Gress going to argue that she didn’t have grounds to be upset at her husband gallivanting around Europe with Byron during her difficult pregnancy and miscarriage? (At least Percy got the hint and repented.)

Well, you are at least adjacent to matter effectively being frozen energy. But vibration is mostly going to be about the state of said matter—solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.

We’re talking people who think their very existence entitles them each to a supermodel bedmate. Their “deserved” glory and status somehow depends on that.

Putting aside that given their exaltation of Rodger-type violence, I don’t think they’ll be above striking said bedmates for less than absolute passivity. Often enough that the women’s glamour would be marred…?
