Immigration: Sure after a decade of vetting we don't have anything concrete to say this person shouldn't become a citizen... But there's a non-zero chance they'll be a rapist. Build a wall!

Parental Rights: Sure this person has a history of violence and the mother of their child not only hates and fears them but has accused them of rape but that's no reason to keep them away from a child. It might not even be true. I'm not going to check, that would be a hardship on the guy she's accusing, but we should really just assume any such accusation is false by default. Being kept from a parent is devastating to a child so the risk is worth it. On the other hand a woman who would make such a serious accusation which I'm going to assume is false without making any actual effort to verify it is a complete monster who should lose any say over the life of their child. They'll be better off without a hysterical woman who thinks the law should punish men who wrong them.

... Logic!

It is just mind-boggling the way the minds of bigots work, isn't it? Even in the imagining that everyone else but them is apocalyptic levels of stupid it requires them to think the people they insist are the smart ones be dumber than a sack of glass hammers to facilitate their own death by ineptitude first by the presumably white and male leadership of enterprise hiring for the sake of "diversity" and nothing else which only the kind of people who already figure they can judge competence more from a person's photograph than their relevant history, measurable achievements, or an on-the-job observation of ability and previously refused to hire such people regardless of competence would do to avoid entirely accurate accusations of discrimination by the most shallow actions and then by deliberately putting people they're already implied to think are idiots in charge of something of consequence without fail-safes. And that's before you factor in their lack of awareness of history and reality and the way we've already skipped the middleman in their fantasies. Then the post captain-obvious insane troll logic just really puts a cherry on it.

Probably just setting up another "moral decay" in his crosshairs to strengthen his image by cracking down on. Lying about being "cured" of homosexuality is a roundabout way of making homosexuality seem like choice, confusion, or if his last remark is any indication a failing of women to serve their purposes to men.

I could mention literally TENS OF MILLIONS of documented horrible crimes around the world.

Or you could repent for your own, and stop acting like you're not only the victim for having molested a girl but that you're the only moral authority in the whole of creation and the world sins against you for holding you accountable to both secular laws and Biblical morality, which saw you exiled to Guam with severe legal restrictions and denounced by every member of your church if not every Christian who knew you personally respectively.

So fourth-hand water cooler gossip with an aside comment that more likely reflects the gossip's own biases than facts and a general tone like they were about to say they're not paying a dime of child support to the odd girl out without a paternity test. And this is assuming you're not making it all up as you go. With incels that's like assuming a three dollar bill is genuine.

So hanging people, mutilating them, dressing the corpse up as a clown, taking photographs of children smiling next to the body, and giving out strips of flesh as souvenirs is perfectly civilized then? What about boiling people alive as capital punishment? Pressing them under stones to force a plea before a trial that will result in their deaths either way? Racking, iron maidens, various devices that do all sorts of unpleasant things to your digits, crow cages, and crucifixion? How how about something more modern like electrocuting people until their eyeballs liquefy? Or openly attempting to make torture a standard procedure of law enforcement? Or how about the immediate internet discourse following any racially charged incident? It starts at ethnic cleansing and manages to get worse. Or how about violence directed at people for their sexuality? "Corrective" rape, psychological torture and reprogramming, etc.

Yeah, white people's laundry isn't exactly clean even before we get to the real filth on the sheets. It's never dirtier than those periods of time where we consider ourselves the moral authority teaching the "savages" what it's like to be civilized. At gunpoint, with an utter double standard of accountability, while performing atrocities beyond comprehension and lying with a straight face about it all. Ever hear what horrors went on in residential schools for Native Americans? Even their very premise is barbaric: intentionally erasing history, culture, language, and identity from memory. The general practices of punishment were monstrous even before you get to the sexual abuse all under the guise of the "white man's burden" of educating their "ignorant lessers" of their place.

When you judge human beings as individuals be prepared for the same metrics to apply to yourself. When you judge them as broadly as this? There is nothing that can prepare you to shoulder the sins of your forbears as you would have us force others to. And that's just sticking to the facts, to allow the insubstantial anecdotes racists love to bandy about and embellish is a whole other dimension of absurdity. There is no rational observation here, only special pleading and a repeat of the hubris that has toppled empires drunk on their own sense of superiority as rot consumes the pedestals they built for themselves.

@KZadBhat

Actually the first experiment did use an open pen and completely upended Calhoun's expectations. He thought the rats would reproduce into the thousands with the space and resources provided, but the population stabilized at around 200 rats in about a dozen distinctive spread out communities. The experiment that famously imploded did have a large amount of overall space, but was molded into a sort of apartment design that forced the rats to constantly be in each other's company. Thus the competition instinct went into overdrive and they did begin reproducing into the thousands and constantly fighting.

The "mouse utopia" collapsed because social competition completely consumed the mice. Sex and the resulting pregnancies did not have a purpose to the mice beyond competing with each other and the mice were not invested in the care of the children because they never wanted them, they were just a byproduct of pressure. Fighting served no purpose other than competing with each other as food was plentiful, there were no external dangers, and mates were readily available. But they would tear each other apart anyways because they felt compelled to by constant proximity and social pressure. There was no real need for every mouse to reproduce, either, as there was no need for labour replacement and no environmental dangers to prepare for. Their existence was secure without the need for any sort of competition. The competition served no purpose when all physical needs were met but it became the only facet of their existence and they engaged in it even if it meant destroying themselves and everything around them though there was clearly nothing to gain from it. Incels in a nutshell. You're not looking for self-actualization, you're obsessed with a competition you think the entire point of your life is to engage in. So you seek sex and reproduction with no desire for companionship or the responsibility of parenthood. You seek to sabotage and bring misery on those around you not for any gain but because you feel you're competing with them. You see nothing but the actions you want to mimic to lessen the constant pressure screaming in the back of your mind and think nothing of your own survival and certainly not that of society or humanity as a whole in comparison to getting a leg up in that competition.

You are the embodiment of that exact collapse. Not because you're not getting laid, because you're not competing, but because it's all you can think of. Even in your self-pity you grandstand and rank yourselves against one another and the thought you are being ignored cannot register in your mind, you believe it has to be another form of competition.

And that's something the idiots who pontificate on Calhoun's experiments and see the non-competing "beautiful ones" as the real problem need to realize. They think everyone should be competing for competitions sake like the mice did when they were literally eating each other and trampling their babies underfoot.

If the FBI who were actively looking for reasons to shut down the civil rights movement had any such tapes they would have been eager to use them immediately. The FBI’s then-director Hoover was well known to be racist and to act unethically to produce evidence against those in his crosshairs, such as King whose movement he sometimes claimed was a communist plot. I also find it a little suspect that this entire spiel is focused not on recordings but on written testimony about documentation about recordings that further are supposedly only set to be released in 2027 making it just that little bit more odd for this supposed sneak peek to exist if it's all still supposed to be classified. If this alleged information came from a legitimate source they'd have a declassified document to corroborate their story if not the tapes themselves, would they not? But instead we get this highly whiffy hatchet job that also claims agents sat motionless next door to a crime in progress. As did several other women allegedly in the same room.

Ha them dumb libruls with their science and their universities and wasting their money on early childhood education program whatsits teaching kids to read when they should be out there learning how the world works and what have you.

They should act like real Americans and make their kids get jobs to pay for their own fancy book learning if teaching themselves to read between shifts at the paper mill ain't good enough for them little Marxist majesties. Don't know why they would, though, it ain't like they'd learn nothing that'll get them further than trusting in them their Bibles, long as my pastor knows how to reads it for me.

... Seriously though, how exactly does sending aid - including educational material - to Africa cause the literacy rate to drop elsewhere? And why exactly is it not the anti-intellectualism and outright hostility to the very concept of education on your side of the political spectrum that's not under suspicion?

Edit:

Oh. I think I figured out what he was implying. It's the continued survival of "low IQ" Africans he thinks drags down the world average, not the enactment of political ideology or attempts to proliferate education. First it's adorable he thinks outside kindness is the only thing keeping a continent alive. Second that just suggests his preference would be ethnic cleansing, which is less adorable.

Not only did conservative mouthpieces begin by questioning Obama's birthplace, religion, American citizenship, sexuality, political record, education, what his name is, whether Hawaii counted as an American state to determine the citizenship of his mother, if anyone should even count him as being black, etc...

They lost their shit when he put Dijon mustard on a burger, calling him an elitist. They challenged his competence when he drank a beer or put his feet up calling him a common lout. They tried to make a fucking THING out of him trying on a different colour of suit. Since when do men give half a shit what other men wear? Putting more focus than is remotely sensible on somebody's wardrobe as opposed to anything they say or do to mine for controversy is an idiocy men tend to reserve for women trying to get on with their job but you decided to subject your President to it because in an inverse of what most people try to teach their children if you didn't have anything rotten to say silence was not an option.

And still people try to pin shit on him even after he's out of office. The "Deep State" and all that jazz, like he's hiding in a closet in the White House waiting for his chance to jump out and change the locks. Or Trump blaming his psychotic policies on Obama, like his family separation fiasco and baby jails. Or Trump similarly blaming Obama for his failing legal challenges and thinning support even among Republicans, including those he hand picked when they refuse to break the law for him.

"Thanks, Obama" as a response to ludicrous bullshit somebody pulled out of their ass is literally an internet meme!

But then again why should anyone expect honesty or integrity from someone who chooses to identify themselves with a handle that flatly states they use memory impairing drugs for the purposes of facilitating rape? Or maybe you just slipped it in your own drink by accident.

This is just a guess but for whatever reason she may be unable to think of herself as anything else - from masochistic tendencies taken to unhealthy extremes, or being raised to believe it, or having her self esteem broken down, or because to her it seems like the path of least resistance in life - and attempts to normalize or impose her self image in others helps her justify an unfulfilling existence she has no better ideas about giving meaning to.

So if there's non-white people, it's propaganda. If it's all white people it's still propaganda because every story needs a bad guy. And playing to semi-historical low-fantasies about social norms that quite a few modern day racists and sexists spouting "tradition" fantasize about dragging society back to because they're under the impression they'd be the aristocracy and everybody else would have to cater to their ideas of what role they play in society that makes everybody the bad guy... except of course those "traditionalists" who think all the liberal diversity and women's rights and such has ruined modern civilization. And that's apparently racist.

And Jews are behind it all because of course it's Jews. Evidently nobody else has ever done anything noteworthy in all of human history.

It must be nice to be able to rely on such intellectual laziness as "it was a miracle, duh, the rules of reality don't have to apply" every time there's a logical inconsistency in the Bible. Even in cases where God explicitly states that humans are on their own and would not be granting any supernatural benefits like with Noah.

And then there's the math on the timeline of the flood. 40 days of rain followed by 150 days of the water receding. That adds to 190 days, but the Bible explicitly says the flood started on the 17th day of the 2nd month and ended the 17th day of the 7th month. Even if we take those two figures concurrently instead of consecutively the date doesn't match. Not every month contains 30 days. And despite the Ark coming to rest on mount Ararat on that date somehow it was only in the 10th month that the mountaintops emerged from the water. Despite the previous statement about the flood ending on the 150th day the waters still required more time to recede and the ark was somehow resting on a mountaintop when the mountains were still underwater. And Ararat isn't the tallest mountain on Earth. It's not even internally consistent.

But hey, "it was a miracle, duh, time and dates don't have to work the same any more" right?

Incel Party #quack

I'm entirely convinced any resemblance to the English language is coincidental. Nothing incels say or write actually mean what the words are supposed to mean. They begin and end with claiming non-violence but their very first order of business is driving people out of their homes at gunpoint to take the real estate for "millenials' i.e. themselves to live in rent free. Just like how rape supposedly has no relation to consent, empathy is somehow a trait common to narcissistic wannabe serial killers, the minority and majority of men are and are not incels or chads simultaneously, personality is an unquantifiable concept that has no analogue for comparison, and even mathematical figures have no agreed upon meaning. Their 80/20 fixation for example comes up in rants that describe that supposed split but their actual figures range wildly from 2% to 44% and I don't even know if they thought they were talking about the 80% half of that generalization or the 20% but still insist it all works out to 80/20. We have proof that numbers low enough to count with your fingers don't mean much to incels such as a post where they failed to count to four while trying to aggressively categorize women.

They're just data mining human speech. Repeating anything that comes up that they think provoked a favourable reaction in a discussion somewhere else. They don't know or care about context and what the words mean, it's like someone trying to guess at the password to a computer by entering titles of books in the room or plugging in keys at random in Duke Nukem 3D trying to figure out what turns on god mode... but still somehow would manage being unable to figure out how to get to the end of a level if they got it. They want literal magic words, an exploit in computer code except for human beings. You'd have better luck reasoning with a parrot. At least the parrot isn't actively trying to piss you off while telling itself you're too dumb to know it is trying to insult you. Out loud.

Stefan Molyneux #racist

Of course dead black farmers in the same country doesn't mean jack all, right? They mean so little you apparently don't seem to believe they even exist. It's only when warlords and terrorists target the country's minority white population that it has some additional significance that makes it deplorable and the motive can only be racism... that's how it works, right? Because otherwise they'd just be exclusively attacking the black majority and you can lump it in with the horror of black on black crime which is somehow intrinsically different from white on white and indicative of the inherent violence of their people?

And if you turn on the news you'll see a whole lot of people all colours of the melanin spectrum killed by drone strikes for nodding to each other in a public street, holding a wedding, being within a block of a suspected arms deal that turned out to be a wedding, looking kind of like a guy in a grainy photo who might be an arms dealer because he nodded to another guy on a street on his way to a wedding, or giving the spy satellite a dirty look. With the general excuse being terrorists might be around there somewhere so shoot first, ask questions later, fuck the whole country because terrorists live there and that means everybody is fair game. And on this side of the ocean some pretty consistent stories where a black person got shot in the back and it was written off very quickly as self defense. To which police respond to any questions of why people should believe that by driving down the street in tanks and stepping up the casual stop, frisk, and beat quota and the numbers of tickets issued for trespassing at your own job in businesses open to the public on your shift. Then pointing to the resulting riots as a justification for the crackdown that sparked it and reframing the entire saga as hatred for police and support for "thugs" shot dead.

But it's only one set of dead bodies that has to have some deeper, sinister implication isn't it? Other circumstances are meaningless or mitigating. None of that can be racist, can it? I mean the first example is just the random collateral damage of war, like say a bunch of farmers who got raided by warlords. And just because the latter is an example of a minority being deliberately targeted and generally treated like they don't matter that doesn't make it, racist right?

But what's really laughable is that you think black people, who invented the very concept of settled civilization in Egypt and who survived for quite some time without the "guidance of their betters" via slavery and colonialism who are still feeling the negative effects of both even today would somehow starve to death if white people up and vanished. Doubly interesting since their experience as slaves largely concerned being forced to work various types of farms and triply so when you also want us to think they basically haven't evolved past being hunter-gatherers but somehow also forgot how to hunt or gather. Unless you want to say their time being "civilized" by the white man is exactly what destroyed their basic ability to survive?

Children are their own people, they are a parent's responsibility but "belong" to nobody but themselves. A family isn't a "sovereign unit," they are not a symbol of your authority, they're a family. And you destroyed yours.

You wave the Bible not as a symbol of morality and not even to define the power over other human beings you think "God" has given you as a right for even within the Bible that has clear limits. Whenever you reference the Bible it is because you demand nothing less than to usurp the very position of God. Good because you say you are. Knees bending to you because you say they should. Beyond all morality including what you say is moral. You want a family to exist only at your pleasure, damned and defiled at your whim, giving thanks to you always for their existence simply because you have not ended them which you consider your own right. They exist only to please you even if your pleasure is vile and depraved, and if you should subject them to depravity they are sinners while you are clean because you say it is thus.

You already belong to evil, David. It does not attack you through others and what you describe in such detail is your own perverse hunger for prey. Others resist it spreading from you.

If I compare an assassin who murdered a guy whose entire deal is nonviolent resistance then faced his trial with no illusions as to the consequences of his actions or intentions to evade them (if that truly was the case, I'm not knowledgeable about this) to someone like Anders Breivik who fully expected to be vindicated and then rewarded by society for his murders and is genuinely horrified and outraged at being treated like a criminal rather than being deified and demands to be above the scope of moral judgment and beyond punishment or alternatively someone who intends to die for their actions either by their own hands or in a manufactured last stand specifically to avoid judgment at all then I suppose I could grudgingly say the former had a bare minimum of integrity to golf clap for. Grudging being the operative word. But only by comparison and I would never attempt to torture the definition of heroism to try and fit them.

A "stench" attack that overpowers the dainty little noses of genocidal murderers who spend their game time wading around in corpses because murder is the whole point of this crappy RPG which would earn the derision of the hardcore fans of the tabletop format?

Accepting a bribe to stand there and let an enemy try to kill you for a round meaning you won't live to spend it? A bribe that if I'm reading these crappy rules correctly is limited to the loot they'd be taking off an an enemy corpse anyways and since there's a point where it becomes impossible to resist or save against they're implicitly saying every white man is just inherently corruptible and greedy to the point that their common sense is vestigial? And this is conjecture here but the currency itself is most likely only redeemable within the society of that very same enemy you're supposed to be trying to wipe from the face of the planet and want nothing to do with.

And seriously, thinking martial artists are just imitating "fake" martial arts from movies? But these "fake" fighting skills still let the enemy attack several more times a round than the superior White Warriors who have "real" combat training and fighting skills? Something that further implies you're supposed to be trained soldiers going up against random jackasses on the street rather than other trained soldiers and they still have a basic combat advantage over your mighty warriors?

So much so that random asshole on the street grade enemies are all it takes to drive the glorious superior race of super smart yet easily bribed to death mega-advanced ultra-innovative yet somehow entirely controlled by others society of natural warriors who lose out to movie-addled teenagers in fistfights right to the brink of annihilation and poverty where the entire world unfairly oppresses them and they can barely survive while the inferior masses who needed them to survive and would die if left to their own devices supposedly whose own cries of unfair oppression and hardship were all of course not the same thing as what the white people are crying about now are all thriving in this "ruined" world.

The kind of people who would leave positive reviews of a book with content like this probably need nothing more than the summary on the back cover to leave a review and more than likely one comprised of what they would put in a book rather than what's actually in it. A practice you'll notice they also apply to the politicians and policies they vote for. Most other people consider it bad form to leave any kind of review - even a negative one - of something they stopped reading two pages in and tossed in a fire as it would lack meaningful substance.

The Meme Policeman

This latest attack on reproductive rights was written by men who thought a gynecological exam involves swallowing cameras or that ectopic pregnancies can be removed viable and then re-implanted into the uterus to grow to term. Not only are they obviously not doctors - lacking the equivalent medical knowledge of a teenager who attended at least one sex-ed class - but clearly no woman was allowed to proofread their bill and certainly not to speak anything but the party line on it because any woman's reaction would be stunned silence followed by a hard slap upside the head of the person who wrote it. While broadly speaking a woman can certainly be "pro-life" nobody with first-hand knowledge of the physical realities of being a woman could be anything but stupefied or enraged by the specifics of what is being proposed in the name of "pro-life" politics if they ever actually informed themselves of such rather than stating their opinion only at the broadest level.

When Clyde Chambliss was asked why the Alabama bill did not bestow personhood upon zygotes in fertility clinics he responded thusly: "The egg in the lab doesn’t apply. It’s not in a woman. She’s not pregnant"

This and every other anti-abortion bill ever penned seems very much about dicking over women for daring to deny men a child - as property signifying status or a potential legacy rather than a life with individual rights and a responsibility to care for - and decidedly not "the rights of the unborn" as their proponents love to frame it. Women are subject to punitive measures, condemnation, and continual humiliation even if they suffer a miscarriage. Not a deliberate attempt to harm themselves to terminate the pregnancy but the all-too-common natural complications that no human intervention can prevent. I remember not that long ago a woman named Marlise Munoz had a DNR overturned because she was pregnant. She and the fetus were legally dead, they were not permitted to stay that way. Marlise was hooked up to machines against her express wishes as stated in a living will and over the protests of her husband and immediate family clinically brain-dead as a festering lump of necrotic meat bloated in her belly. To say the end result was never going to be a viable, healthy, baby is understating things quite a bit.

Those passing laws telling women what will be done with their bodies even if it will be done over their dead bodies are not those with the applicable knowledge to say they are making informed decisions, nor the moral authority, nor can they be said to have anyone's best interests at heart. This is purely an act of social engineering, asserting what a woman's role in a "man's society" must be as their distorted and ultimately self-serving notion of tradition dictates. This is beyond irrational and truly tests the conventional wisdom that says one should not attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by idiocy for even idiocy requires something resembling logic to drive it while malice does not.

He knew full well that pleading either way, guilty or not guilty, meant he was a dead man and that his property would be confiscated leaving his children with nothing.

His last words were defiance at the disingenuous nature of both the proceedings and the accusation. You're not echoing that defiance, but the injustice and idiocy he was defying. Because he refused his accusers the satisfaction they legally had to recognize him as a Christian upon death and his property remained in the hands of his heirs. So in addition to making an absolute mockery of history you're also either drawing attention to a man who was executed wrongfully with literally no way out from a backwards, barbarous system that persecutes the innocent and was basically a convenient tool to get rid of one's enemies or if you actually believed (quite insanely) that he was a witch you're reminding everyone of his victory over Christianity.
