If you're looking for loopholes in the law to condone pedophilia, congratulations! You might very well be a pedophile!

Now submit your name to the Sex Offender and Crimes against Minors Registry program (as it's called in Virginia) so we can all know to keep a close eye on you.

Male homosexuality is a conditioned social defeat/submission response

Male homosexuality is no such thing. That's just your own heterosexual insecurity talking. Ditto with your reference to "micro." You seem quite terrified you might be gay.

…More seriously, I think this is using Ray Blanchard’s work to help justify this chain of logic:

1.) I identify trans women as men.
2.) “Lesbian” means a woman who is attracted to people I would identify as a woman.
3.) Any trans woman who dates a lesbian is thereby engaged in rape by deception.

#1 is an opinion which is widely disagreed with, and not in line with current psychological and medical knowledge. #2 is mostly irrelevant because your standards don’t matter to who other people choose to date. #3, aside from being an unsupported conclusion based on the first two being extremely weak arguments, presume that any lesbian who would choose to date a trans woman doesn’t know who/what they’re really dating, which infantilizes women.

Columbus was considered a monster in his own time. Apart from being a bad faith negotiator who betrayed every alliance he made and pillager who loved sadistic acts of public torture in a time where the slave trade was booming the things he did to slaves were considered heinous even by their standards. Particularly making slaves of Christian converts and suppressing Christianity to get around the singular law at the time that Christians could not be made slaves. He went to prison for it, though was later pardoned due to personal relationships with those in power at the time. Huh. No wonder you like the guy, he was “Making America Great” and representing the Christian working class before the English language was ever spoken on America’s shores. Even by himself. Throw in some kiddy diddling and raise him from the dead and MAGA has an ideal new VP.

Also Columbus only really became celebrated as an effort by the community of Italian immigrants, who were treated like shit for not being “white” enough and full of the “wrong” kind of Christians, to establish a foothold in the American identity. So celebrating Columbus was a very early act of DEI. Choke on that shit, Dave.

Lots of cultures understood the wheel-and-axle system long before they invented carts and similar vehicles. Aside from toys, some also invented potter’s wheels (for clay pots and jars) or spinning wheels (for making threads) or even pulley systems. The problem with carts is that you need well-maintained paths and roads for them to be truly useful, but you also need carts to be in common use for the regular maintenance of paths and roads to be worth the effort, so… it’s not something any culture developed quickly or easily. And certain types of terrain makes it particularly difficult to make the jump. AFAIK most cultures originally started path/road maintenance for large-scale military purposes.

This person needs some therapy or this is some sort of fake. Saying they are attracted to men because they are a homosexual transexual implies they still identify as a man at some level. If they only identified as a transwoman they would describe themselves as a straight transwomen.

“Thou dost seek passage beyond the gates of Transdom? I say thee, nay! As keeper of these gates, thou shalt not pass!”

(I swear to god, no pun intended, I blame it on cold medicine.)

This is stupid. Yes, there are gay men who are into the whole masc/femme dynamic, but some of them want to be on the masc side of that. And not all of them are into that dynamic. And yes gay men are generally attracted to straight men because they’re *men*, it’s not like straight men inherently have some sort of gay turn-off aura. In a vacuum the main part of this would just be a somewhat understandable, but still very wrong, conclusion based on stereotypes… but this is in the context of the Blanchardian nonsense of straight trans women being extra-gay femmes, and also “homophobia is good, actually”, so it’s particularly vile.

A Restored Britain #transphobia

Transgender women cannot be lesbians.

I saw a comic somewhat recently (couldn’t find it again with a quick search) which, from memory, went:

Off-panel person: “If you’re attracted to women, doesn’t that make you straight?”
Trans woman dressed as a lesbian stereotype: “Straight women aren’t attracted to this!”

The “Art World” is simply the Church built to sanctify those desires.
the gap between the Creative Visionary and the Genocidal Tyrant is zero.
your favorite song isn't healing you — it's colonizing you.

Sounds like someone independently discovered memetics, but doesn’t fully understand what they discovered, and is unnecessarily frightened by the implications. In a nutshell, a “meme” in the original sense is any sort of information which tends to promote its own propagation. A memeplex is a complex cluster of memes which are linked together and tend to promote each other. Your favorite Simpsons quote is a meme. A whole song is a memeplex. Languages and cultures are particularly large memeplexes built partially of other memeplexes, so meta-memeplexes, essentially. You need lots of self-spreading information to function as a person in a society.

And then there are memetic hazards. These are memes or memeplexes which change your thought processes for the worse, with “worse” being relative in some cases. Propaganda can be a memetic hazard. When people used to say “religion is a mind virus” they were expressing the same general idea. (Note: lately I’ve seen people use “infohazard” or “cognitohazard” as a synonym for memetic hazard. The original meanings of those two terms are different. An infohazard corrupts or destroys information, a cognitohazard disrupts the capacity to think at all.) But a key thing here, memetic hazards aren’t universal; propaganda, for example, does not work on everyone, both in the sense that any particular piece of propaganda won’t work on everyone (or even most people), and there are probably people who are largely immune to propaganda in general (note: the more confident you are of this, the less likely you are broadly immune).

This person has apparently identified *all* art as a memetic hazard for all people, which… no. Most of the time it’s neutral, occasionally positively transforming in the opposite way (I checked “hazard” in a thesaurus, and found no antonym which really captures the essence of that, maybe something exists in psychology). These positive transformations are specific to the individual, again there’s nothing which affects people universally. Some art makes you a little better in a way that lingers, some art fucks you up in a bad way which sticks with you, most of it is just interesting (or just doesn’t feel like “art” to some people).

And ironically, this person may have very well created their own memetic hazard in their discovery and incomplete understanding of memetics. And now they’re trying to spread it…

As I recall, archeologists have found Inca and/or Maya children's toys that had wheels, which shows that they undstood the concept.

What you’re using to post your BS, Dave-o: the Digital Computer. Y’know, ’0’s & ’1’s: Binary. Without the former digit, least of all those who invented it in their numerical system, you wouldn’t have what was developed by Britain’s Alan Turing.

I’d say there’s a question of what superior men want with inequality. What’s so terrible about raising the floor, elevating the inferior to their levels of education and refinement?

I’ll just note that with the Incas, transport wheels would not have helped in their largely mountainous home. Llamas more than sufficed.

Besides, Columbus was cruel and inept enough to get sent back to Spain in chains, in the end.

Says everyone eltist in power since ever, always under the assumption that they will never lose their power, even as the majority sharpen their spears and get weapons to overthrow them.

Also as JM1234 points out the people who usually thinks they’re “superior” are often cases the most egoist people out there and don’t realize that they are not as great as they think.

“so gravity is like magnetism?? why doesnt the "Vaccum" of space suck out the magnetic properties??”
Um,no. Gravity’s attraction is for everything in the gravity well. Magnetism is an interaction with only specific materials.
That would be cool, though, if we could make planes out of non-gravitas materials.

“why doesnt the "Vaccum" of space suck out the magnetic properties?”
Because ‘pressure’ is yet another force you don’t understand. Hint, vacuums don’t ‘suck’, pressurized containers ‘blow.’ So, you’re asking why the magnetic field, which is generated inside the Earth, isn’t expelled into space. Well, go outside and watch dirt for a while and see how often it gets close to the sky…

Haha imagine thinking pregnancy is the "grossest" thing you're going to experience working in healthcare. If you ever did, anyways. Someone who thinks vaginas are scary wouldn't be make it through a basic first aid class, let alone a single hospital rotation.

Ayn Rand is the worst writer in the history of the world. Tried to buy the rich's affection by writing books that felated them from taint to tip, but died in poverty taking money from the evil government. She was a fundamentally stupid human being.

Looks like Cathy Trask from East of Eden doing a philosophy course on aesthetics.

Seriously, couldn’t you entertain the idea that maybe artists love beauty, creating it and sharing it with others?

How do you propose we remove all women from every form of government, and revoke their right to vote, without their express support? And how are you planning to convince women to relinquish political power?

Tatsuya Ishida #wingnut #elitist

So, you’ve completely abandoned the attempt to whitewash the Axis, indeed proudly embracing their obviously evil philosophies, and now all your re-imagining is adding Fantasy elements to World War II.

What about facts instead of empty claims? Where is your list of evidence? Oh, and claims are not evidence, you need actual evidence. A list of independent courts declaring some of Biden's presidential actions illegal, for instance. We do have the list for Trump.

"I want a stupid monster of the stupid people." by someone who also mixes up theology and science, technology and medicine together, ironically extending his anti-intellectualism and anti-rationalism to also reject theology. But it's still compatible with an illiberal and sinful wannabe-dictator who of course also attacks education and gets denounced by faith leaders. The educated are natural threats to evil... And in this case even the country's constitution is incompatible with the agenda. Hence this propaganda to advocate to violate it and justify that lawnessness. It sounds like organized crime and corruption...

Those who oppose equality are the inferior who inherited a position of power and those with too much ego that think themselves superior. The really superior realize that equality helps everybody in the end.
(depending on precise definition of equality, right wingers often use heavily loaded definitions of equality)

A government not serving its people means that it's illegitimate, there's no need to be communist to understand that, but denying it does sound fascist. Of course, the communist vs fascist nonsense is an old straw man. Authoritarians also call human rights anarchy and laziness when it's not red-scare, it's more rhetoric than fact, abuse justifications. It's also not for nothing that fascist regimes need the people to swim in a constant firehose of disinformation and claim to be the people, because they obviously are not, this is called deceit. It's also usual for them to justify their abuse by making you affraid of fabricated scarecrows and by twisting facts and reality into fear mongering and hate. To attack the people, it must claim that the people is already under attack. So what's wrong with social democracy? It's apparently just in the way of your abuse?

Unless you have a time machine and can go back & somehow persuade Emmeline Pankhurst from exhorting women to work in the munitions factories during WWI, good luck with that OP.

From drawing materials to the art style of Vivienne Medrano streamed to the world via “Hazbin Hotel”: picked up from a mere pilot on YouTube to a series produced by the very platform you’ve chosen to decry art.

Unless you’re making your book available for free via Amazon, kinda destroyed your own argument there, pal.

“its evolutionists that are the idiots,”
Always an encouraging start.

“ they think we all came from an ape”
No, sport, we think we all ARE apes. Do try to keep up, it’s all in the required reading.

“ but we keep apes in cages as attractions at zoos, why dont we put ourselves in zoos if we came from apes?”
Yeah, that’s a good rebuttal to the evidence of common ancestors, we don’t charge admission to mobs… Yep.

"apes are just animals,”
yes. You, me, Harambe, all just animals.

“but god made each of us individually”
Doesn’t make us not apes if true.

“and he put in a lot of love into each of us,”
Doesn’t make us not apes if true.

"were more than just animals.”
The Cornell 7 say otherwise…

“evolutionists deny this which is really stupid,”
Lotsa name-calling, here, but not much evidence, huh?

“god loves us, even the idiot evolutionists who deny him.”
Loves me so much he’ll send me to Hell until the heat-death of the Universe.
