maybe, I’m certainly the type that falls more in line of ‘believe the victims’ but to a point, namely evidence and when it happened, what she’s describing here just… well… its’ really hard to believe actually happened, as I’ve mentioned in my reply to Anon, this supposedly happened when she was 7 and he was 9… 9… not a teenager, a kid who more than likely did not know what sex was back then, that really stretches the limits of one’s belief really, in fact, it makes me more likely to believe both Adam and their mother when they mention that she apparently has done this sort of thing before (IE making familial life miserable by claiming erroneous things off and on, with the implication being she’s trying to get money out of them in as dickish a way imaginable) add to this the mention of mental illness of some kind, which don’t always form due to abuse and trauma but sheer bad luck and genetics, makes this all the least likely to have happened

Now granted stranger things has happened before, that’s just how this world works, weird shits happens, but I’m still going to be more in incline to believe Adam (and their mother) over her claims, at least until she provides clear evidence that isn’t fabricated in some way.

If not, that means this woman decided to take a movement meant to call awareness to sexual abuse in all level of society for her own selfish ends, which just paints her in a far more negative way then it does positive, if so, that more then likely means that Adam was also abused himself as well, as one of the few ways in which a kid at that age (especially in the 1970s) would have known about sex would have been the result of being sexually abused themselves by a much older authority figured, which itself opens up even more cans of worms or she’s lying about him abusing her in order to shield the real abuser (whoever that maybe) in a bizarre form of Stockholm syndrome. Either way is not good, either she’s a selfish frankly morally bankrupt woman, Adam being as much a victim as her, or she’s trying to protector her abuser out of a twisted sense of ‘love’ towards that person.

@Anon-e-moose #46489

yeah, was wondering if you did read it; I honestly have a hard time finding it credible given the age between the two (him being 9 when he started abusing her at 7… not a lot of kids would know what sex was at that age, even in the age of the internet, much less in the 1970s. Unless, of course, they were abused themselves which just opens a whole new can of worms)

yeah… revolution and atmosphere, meaning the Moon revolves around the Earth, as it is the satellite of the planet and sometimes the moon appears in the daytime or near it, and occasionally full on eclipse the sun (it always happens but if varies decades to centuries for places), that’s why, also the atmosphere is only about 300 miles high… once you’re out of it, you’re in the void which is what the moon is in…

Pumkin #psycho

yeah fuck everything this guy says but still I have doubts about what the sister claims are true, mostly from my own personal experience involving family members and how certain members making life missable for everyone, while no where near what the sister is accusing her brother of doing, my cousin certainly made life uncomfortable for alot of us, often blaming my mother, grandfather and grandmother for alot of things, including the death of his father, my uncle (that’s not even getting into the crap my stepsister does), so, there’s a good chance that what the mother and brother said of her is true, that she suffers from some kind of mental illness and have been doing this sort of thing for years, but at the same time it could very well be true, that her brother (Adam) abused her as a child (7 to 9 to his 9 to 11(sidenote: yes that’s actually what she claims, that she was abused by her brother when he was 9 to 11 years old and not a teenager who knew what he was doing, fuck I didn’t know what sex was at that age until I was 12 when I saw porn for the first time, I doubt he’d would know what sex was at that age when he grew up without internet as it was hard to find porno mags during the 1970s, especially if you were a kid)) but I’d wait for judgment until the case is over.

@DLaurier #46123

Wait didn’t that happen back in 1812? back Canada was under British control (it was a colony at the time) and the US was much smaller then it is now? both in territory and population? I know you’re being sarcastic in your remark but the US of today is a global superpower with by far the most powerful military in the world, and the most well funded, like take the top nine nations military budgets and combined them and that STILL won’t equate to the US military budget of damn near a trillion, that’s how bloated that part of the budget is, then there’s population with Canada at around 37 million to the US population of over 328 million, that’s a over 291 million more then Canada has, so even if the US didn’t have a military like it does now, the US has the numbers to overwhelm Canada regardless. Then there’s how the US and Canada’s populations are dispersed, the US is far more scattered, Canada, on the other hand, its’ largely at or near the US-Canada border, so if a war breaks out between the two Canada major population centers would be under American control within weeks.

I know you’re being sarcastic but the only point in time where Canada has fought America is well two hundred years ago back when it was just a new nation (and a tenth of its’ current size) with a small population, nowadays the US is a superpower with the third highest population globally. A war between the two nations will result in a US victory simply because the US has far too many advantages compared to Canada. Of course different story when it comes to locate resistance but that’s a discussion for a different time.

@Whyinternetwhy #46104

British Columbia has a fairly large Asian population so that’s probably why for that and the rest of Canada’s provinces are predominately liberal in politics, again, its’ what @Kuyhashi #46095 said, this guy assumes that annexing these places will ensure Conservative dominance of the government for decades to come… while unaware that Canadian conservatives are further to the left of American conservatives…

@Whyinternetwhy #46094

While I’m not Canadian (I’m an Alabamian actually), my guess is that it’s due to those places being some of the more conservatives places in Canada… though Quebec is not quite that… Quebec is honestly more of a separate nation from Canada then anything else, as it’s predominately French speaking and their culture is also a bit different from other English-speaking Canadians, so trading one English dominated government for another isn’t likely to occur, along with everything else in this text…

For our Canadian friends, am I right in this assumption that this guy picked those provinces due to their conservative politics?

Tom Shackleford #racist #wingnut

While I don’t agree with tearing down all statues (I’m in favor of the Confederate ones for obvious reasons but not tearing down the Founding Fathers or previous leaders, especially Lincoln or Grant) as to me that seems like amorphous built-up rage expressed in a nonconstructive and ultimately self-defeating (as most of the county does not agree with what these people are doing in the first place) that will harm your cause far more than it helps.

That said, it doesn’t change the fact that the nation still issues when it comes to systemic racism, sexism and homophobia that needs addressing and fixing and this wave of mass protest is the catalyst for that change to finally occur, as more and more people want this system to be reformed so these issues are no longer the case. And people like OP HATES that and that’s why he’s venting like this, he knows the tide of this nation is going against him and he (and the rest of the Far-Right racists and reactionaries) are trying to stop that but it’s far too late and there’s nothing they can do to stop it, not this time at any rate… All that needs to complete this shift is removing Trump from office entirely, granted the guy replace isn’t any better but he’s a hellofalot better than Trump and at this point, I’d rather have a milk toast neo-liberal to a wannabee dictator thank you very much.

Stonetoss #racist

well, it appears that Trump is slowly losing the Far-Right (the racist far-right that is), figured it’d be a matter of time before they abandoned him completely, especially with everything going on now, and should they continue, which appears to be the case, there’s not a chance in hell that Trump can win this upcoming election, so, this, in turn, ensures that the Far-Right turns on him completely, as it’s indicated here with Stonetoss. Only a matter of time before the rest of the Alt-right joins Stonetoss and starts blaming Trump for being a conman ‘cuckservative’ who allowed the ‘socialist and communist’ to get away with everything, don’t know who that’d be next, but it will happen I’m sure of it.

god damn, it’s blatantly clear that Adam is NOT a good person, not only is he a domestic abuser but also a terrorist and a profoundly specieist individual (granted what the Faunus had gone through is pretty awful and I don’t fault him or anyone who faced bigotry and hate from Humans because of their Faunus heritage, not at all, just that this guy takes it to a whole new level…), I’m glad that bastard is dead in all honesty. Though I may not buy into the notion of that Blake and Yang are in a romantic relationship, because of the two helping each other out in killing this fucker, no, I view it more in the way of two straight female friends dealing with an abusive prick of a boyfriend that one of them had the misfortune of getting involved with. But, I do admit I can see why that could be the case, and I can fully admit that if the writers of the show want to have Blake and Yang become a romantic item I wouldn’t find an issue with it, not at all, there’s plenty of evidence that supporters it (just as theirs plenty of evidence to the contrary), why wouldn’t I have issues with that? Because in my mind, a writer/creator should have the freedom to do as they like with the story they’re making and if they want to have two female characters (or male characters or the more traditional Male-Female coupling) turn out to be a romantic couple, they should have that right to do that. RWBY has a pretty large LGBTQ fanbase, I know for a certainty that most of the fans wouldn’t mind it at all, hell I’d wager that they be overjoyed at the prospect. Just because I don’t think that’s the direction the writer is going with their relationship doesn’t mean I won’t eat my words should I be proven wrong and the writers intended that very thing to be the case. Besides this is Rooster Teeth we’re talking about, they have a show that’s very supportive of Transpeople and genderfluid people as one of the characters is explicitly described as genderfluid, its’ not out of the realm of possibility for them to have two existing characters turn out to be gay (or rather bi) this entire time.

No, it won’t, I’d wager to say that we may be a few decades BEHIND current tech level if we did exactly what you want us to do, all because you have this absurd notion that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote or work (the latter of which has been going on for CENTURIES, mostly as farmers but the notion that women never worked ever in human history is absolutely absurd)

hell the new Wolfenstein games show that the only way the Nazis won the war was to reverse engineer tech created by a secret JEWISH society that created their ultraadvance tech to commune with god and that’s it, and even then they only apply it to their military and nothing else, meaning that they have the military tech of the 23rd century but the common person are in the FIFTIES in terms of tech, and even then people still hated the Nazis and fought to overthrow them.

Well back in history there are two common reasons why polygamy has been practiced, first women had (they still do but it's not anywhere near what it used to be) a much lower chance at surviving childbirth so having multiple wives had an increase chance of producing children and second is power a lot of early (and occasionally still) monarchies tend to be polygamous and often served as a status symbol of sorts, not everyone has multiple wives, it was often elities that had more then one wife.

Also polyandry is a thing so...

To be honest, this report by this Incel makes me feel happy and hopeful, I mean, this guy is basically suggesting that more and more Muslims are no longer accepting (or even tolerating) their fundamentalists, hell they outright ignoring them now, not just here in the west (where a number of them are emigrating to for… obvious reasons… the predominantly Muslim region in the world is still being torn to pieces by all kinds of internal issues, not to mention the possibility of leaving due to the heat getting too extreme) but everywhere else in the world. That is clearly saying that there’s a possibility that the level of control the more fanatical Imams had over a significant portion of the faith is standing to crumble… and to think it all started with minor reforms by the chief Wabbist exporter, Saudi Arabia (honestly the government is still doing that, hell, the only way that will end is completely overthrowing the Saudi family all together and replace it with a democratic republic).

First off, I doubt many fathers are even remotely happy that their daughters, whom they still likely view as their little girls, by the way, are dressed in that matter in the first place but respect them and their autonomy to let them dress however they wise (within limit of course), hell, I’m not a father yet but I can picture myself viewing my nieces in the same way when they’re teenagers/early twenties, as the little girls I knew them as, and I for damn sure would not be happy to see them dressed in a rather skimpy way as I know full well that the boys their age will lear at them dressed in that matter.

Second, yeah, porn is not reality and honestly, most people who watch it are watching it for bile fascination then true enjoyment; besides, to me, if its’ between two consenting, within age range cousins/siblings I honestly don’t care if they butt uglies or not but will have concerns if it was a parent/parental figure and child (IE offspring or equivalent of) as that would indicate that parent/parental figure is doing something shady and manipulative and the type of people who want to fuck their offsprings are often the type of people most find repulsive. I may have an opinion that most wouldn’t agree with when it comes to cousins or siblings, as I personally think consent should be a big part of sexual relationships, its’ why I support LGBTQ people, that and a number of other reasons, its’ entirely because I think they should have the same rights as the rest of us due to it being between consenting adults, but its’ also why I dislike pedophiles and pedophilia so much, ITS’ OBVIOUSLY NON-CONSENSUAL!

yeah, I have to agree with that statement, when the fuck did having anyone who isn’t a cisgendered heterosexual straight white dude ‘pandering’ and ‘SJW propaganda’? seriously when the hell did that happen? ’cause I’m sure you’re pulling that straight from your ass, just like the statement of ‘all the females are gay man-haters’ too, hell you even admitted that the Gems quite literally don’t have a gender (they’re basically a one-gendered species that just so happen to have (to humans) a feminine appearance, basically like Asaris but sentient crystals) nor a concept of sexuality in any shape or form (they reproduce via a particularly destructive form of cloning, IE they hollow out planets to make more of themselves… well… when the series started that is) so how could they hate men and be lesbians when they don’t have a concept of either term, fuck, the only reason Pearl dislike Greg so much was entirely due to jealousy over him becoming romantically involved with Rose Quartz/Pink Diamond while she was friend-zoned (that and the manner in which she gave birth to Steven also resulted in her ‘death’ also played a role)… But you also admitted that you don’t give a shit about the details of that universe (the show not the kid) and just how absurd your remark truly is.

for the last bit… you put up a stamp that clearly tells people who are fans of that show that the reason why you dislike it is some absurd reactionary far-right bullshit, Steven Universe fans are going to comment and ask you questions that isn’t some stupid far-right talking point you saw and parriet back at them ad narcium, you lost that right to complain about getting messages from fans trying to get a better picture of why you dislike the show they are fans of, at least constructive reasons and not some stupid alt-right bullshit…

Yeah, you have Europeans all over the continent having title like ‘Baron’ ‘Duke’ ‘Prince’ and so on but they are powerless, ego-stroking titles than any legitimate title over a particular piece territory, because the people there decided to disband the nobility and monarchy a long time ago… Also, Americans tried to get a Jacobite heir to become King of America? first I’ve ever heard of it, especially since SO MANY AMERICANS AT THE TIME made it perfectly clear how little they give a shit about the concept of monarchism in the first place, for fuck’s sake the American Revolution was born out of the enlightenment and one of the key parts of it was questioning the legitimacy of absolutism, and the American Revolution was apart of that question.

yeah, ’cause back then White Europeans and Americans largely believe ‘Whites can’t be as barbaric as those colored people, surely our higher intelligence and rationality would prevent us from enacting such barbaric actions’… because well… Most Americans and Europeans were extremely racist back then, they honestly expect the fucked up things Japan was doing but honestly did not think Germany, a white nation, would do the same fucked up things as well, but low and behold, the constatation camps and the horrors of the Holocaust, in general, caused a lot of White Europeans and Americans to reconsider their beliefs and notions, here’s a white nation doing the same fucked up horrors as the ‘barbaric races’ if not WORSE then the things the ‘barbaric races’ could ever do, it played a role in the slow but inevitable deterioration of white supremacy, the monstrous atrocities that the white supremacy Nazis did both before and during World War 2.

like what @SpukiKitty #42694 said, history has repeatedly show that us humans are compliable of some truly awful things, things that if one puts them in a book, no one would take it seriously, yet, history is full of either people or moments just like that. There’s a reason why the saying ‘fact is stranger than fiction’ exist in the first place, its’ all the fucked up things found in reality that often cases simply can’t be made up because most people simply don’t want to imagine it as a possibility yet it does happen. Most people have a general notion that some human out there can’t possibly be so fundamentally fucked up that they could honestly scare the shit out of Satan himself, that’s why if you put down half of the horrible shit the worst of the Nazis ever did people would honestly won’t buy it for a second, they simply don’t want to imagine that can happen in fiction much less in real-life. Sadly, reality has an entirely different opinion on the matter it seems.

So, in that regard, perhaps the same will happen with the symbols the racists, Neo-Nazis, Alt-Right, and Far-Right cooped for their own nefarious purposes, just not in any time soon, I’d wager that would happen a century and a half or two centuries but it will change meanings, perhaps go back to its’ original widely assorted meaning (the Swastika), forgotten it was cooped (the OK hand gesture) or just forgotten entirely (Pepe the frog). Hell, perhaps a Jewish group could eventually take the swastika as a symbol and turned it from a Nazi symbol to yet another Jewish symbol in that time firm.

That’s not to say that certain symbols can be rehabilitated, no, symbols that started out as symbols of hate will remain a symbol of hate, case in point, the Confederate battle flag (the Northern Virginia version namely), and the hoods of the Klan. Those symbols will remain negative symbols for centuries to come but hopefully mostly forgotten ones.

You know, when people, the overwhelming MAJORITY of Americans AGREE with the protests, you have LOST the claim to the term of ‘the silent majority’ because its’ clear you lot are more of the ‘Angry and vocal minority’ now.
