Probably expecting/demanding that harem shows not exist at all. It’s true that the general conceit of the genre bothers me, but treating this like mortal sin rather than venial at worst is definitely excessive. Why do they think Lust is typically considered the least perilous of the Seven Cardinal Vices?

So the argument is that social justice terminology is naught but thought-stopping? But I should like to hear what they’d acknowledge—if anything—as both leftward and thought-catalytic.

Although a sense of “this is what most everyone with a properly functioning psyche knows and believes” comes through anyway (just take the reverse of each term).

Which part of the army being loyal to Constitutional precepts, not any one general/president/etc., did he miss? Although I half-expect Trump and/or Vance (depends on whether Trump is both alive and any meaningful level of lucid) to call a Constitutional Convention to “properly” formalize flat authoritarianism—and probably vector Project 2025 in while they’re at it. Like binding the army to the president rather than the Constitution/populace.

Never mind my current go-to of the Aka tribe in northeast Congo. The men can breastfeed (although not for much; it’s more bonding and probably antibody transmission than sustenance by far) simply by applying some manner of crushed leaf to their nipples. I’m going to guess the leaf contains an estrogen mimic or powerful localized testosterone inhibitor. Either way, the Aka women have never had a problem with this.

So. How do they plan to explain them away? Just “backwards savagery”?

Majority of active voters, anyway. Even Trump got fewer popular votes than last time. The problem is that Harris got even fewer than Biden did. (i.e. notably fewer ballots were counted at all compared to 2020.)

Anyway…Golden Era? More like Pyrite Era, Osmium Era, Leaden Era, or Radium Era.

Essentially so. The original Thomas Hobson rented out horses in the 16th and 17th centuries, and as you came up to his livery stable you could see the full gamut of 40. However, anyone who thought this was meant to be a selection of steeds was in for a disappointment–in order to avoid exhausting any one horse, Hobson would only rent to a given customer the horse closest to the door and rotate the others closer when one was returned. At least you could tell the health of the full complement for return visits when you more than likely would not be given the same horse as before.

At least he’s right about them being pure woe? And if Bannon is in accord with him, maybe he can dissuade Trump from dealing with them. Unfortunately, the probability isn’t 1.

@Malingspann #210943

Hopefully not. But it’s still a matter of what’s more unbearable, between being forced to help a malicious usurper or military nettles. Although given the materiel Trump could command, and him being kind of fond of nuclear weaponry (Remember him wanting to use a nuclear bomb to disrupt a hurricane?)…

@Passerby #210939

I wouldn’t be surprised if that incited one or two secession movements (“We ain’t knuckling under to an ill-intentioned usurper!”). The obvious problem is that MAGA doesn’t seem to have a place of total absence, so there’d be counter-insurrection from the onset.

If not for their bad case of Main Character Syndrome (including assumptions of Plot Armor), I’d remind them that there’s always a risk of some archon deeming them undesirables to be confined to concentration camps.

I think there’s the matter of also wanting markedly superior status—which won’t be possible in anything like egalitarianism. As previous offerings of him evince, Snake isn’t that different from Tim Rifat except for not glorifying sadism so outwardly. Think in terms of Mudsill Theory, that refinement isn’t possible without a permanent underclass of drab, resigned laborers.

I’d swear they’ve gladly become addicted to sneering and contemning. (No, that’s not a misspelling.)

“Eye for an eye” wasn’t so much a hard mandate as a hard ceiling—no life for an eye, for example. That’s behind oral Torah views that monetary remuneration equivalent to the eye or other was sufficient to avoid risk of also taking the life, for instance.

I know I’m wondering if Trump becoming President again might lead to the Northeast seceding to act as a haven and/or departure point to another continent for anyone who can escape (with or without others’ aid).

Even better, it was Thebai who broke Sparta’s power by tying their forces up well enough that most of the Helots could escape to lands that would neither enslave nor remand them. That basically emptied Sparta of its fuel.

Note that we don’t seem to actually have much evidence for the Sacred Band’s charioteers being romantic couples. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Thebai encouraged some sort of camaraderie, whether born of eros or philia, that the idea derived from. Point being that Boeotia’s forces probably had plain better sense of humanity than Sparta’s.

Ken Ham #fundie

They’ll hopefully do better on realizing (a) omnipotence and omnibenevolence just aren’t compatible (what with the latter implying respect for Agency, and the former necessarily precluding it, even if not really in the same way Fate does/would), and (b) El is far better understood as suprapotent than omnipotent, certainly in the Old Testament. Omnipotence var. Christianity is more from Zoroastrianism, Platon, and (I think) Epikouros than anything in the Tanakh.

The Hellenist #crackpot #psycho #wingnut

Between this and their lauding of slavery, I think we can safely say they adulate (and probably romanticize) Sparta.

But really, what happens when any given boy proves inherently unsuitable for the military, whether physically or mentally? Such is not exactly a thing of evil (while weakness-shaming is).

Johann Weyer would probably have a field day with him. Except for the usual problem that Kincaid et al. probably see witches as the power-hungry conjurors Weyer thought were the real concern.

Then again, sorcerers against capitalism? As long as they only conjure actual Goetia Goodies like Buer and Orobas, I’m not sure what the issue is.

@Creativerealms #209004

I know I’m wondering why the Jews are so often the ultimate scapegoat with conspiracists. All I can think of offhand is the Hebrews’ historical reluctance to assimilate to more than very slight degrees—which I can imagine a good number of would-be hegemonics as deeming a slight on their “obvious” glory and superiority. “Why would any sane person not want to be just like Us, perfect in all ways as We are?!” (What capitalization error?)

Re-enacterf, FemmeEtal & YesYourNigel #transphobia

I don’t think male milk is supposed to be superior to female. Just helpful for bonding (and probably introducing the father’s antibodies to the child).

Besides, the men of Nigeria’s Aka tribe have long been doing minor lactation through herbal stimulation (I guess the leaves have hormone mimics???). You’re not going to condemn them for something the Aka women clearly have no issue with, are you?

EDIT: Bah, I was confused by the original article using Nigeria’s domain. Kongo area, not Nigeria.

Eric Peters #wingnut #conspiracy

I’m sure those who contend with safety seats from the onset get used to the work pretty quickly. An extra avenue to dote on their children, at least?

Besides, the masks actually do best as worn by those with aerosol-transmissible pathogens–such as the common cold, not just COVID-19. (I used one myself yesterday precisely because of a cold I had.) Japan did plenty right in normalizing use of facemasks well before COVID-19 made landfall there. Learn from them in that. (No, you do not get to use any sense of exceptionalism or destiny to claim otherwise. Double standards will not be suffered in Justice’s sight.)

Looking at his past, it’s probably more accurate to say he’s a resolute edgelord var. egotist. His only true concern is riling up as many people as he can at any given moment. Lasting convictions get only contempt from him. (Great, now I’m imaging him with the Joker’s voice…)

Remember that the justification was about interdicting drug use, bullying, and truancy—behavioral enforcement, ultimately. Going after whatever lies behind drugs and truancy, and counseling and reproof of the bullies (or however else you get them to permanently renounce cruelty), apparently aren’t on the menu.

various commenters #transphobia

Okay, time to find out which Australian tribes have traditions of emergency male lactation, and bring that up to this lot. I just wish I knew how to seek scholarly/-adjacent articles out regarding them.

Of course, with my luck, they’ll say male lactation inducement, be the man cis or trans, is proof positive that British takeover was a net boon for Australia…

EDIT: My search didn’t land Australian right away. Northwest African, however… https://www.pulse.ng/lifestyle/food-travel/meet-the-aka-tribe-where-men-breastfeed-babies/sgwgfg8

@Croquemitaine #208125

Not much mining in this case; Nehemiah Adams was genuinely supportive of Southern plantation slavery. The rest of Massachusetts doesn’t seem to have been pleased with him when he published his book.

That said, I thought before reconnoitering the page that she was quoting George Fitzhugh–the one who believed that 95% of humanity had an “inalienable right” to be slaves to the remaining (presumably all or nearly all white, no black to be seen) 5%. It certainly looked like a lead-up to “the majority of whites would be happy as slaves, too”.

Pennsylvania South Western School District’s school board #transphobia

Looking at the rest of the article, Gelazela had flatly stated for the school that only the toilet stalls proper could be rightly deemed private; he says the idea is to be able to keep watch for things like vaping and bullying. (The latter would be quite a trick for the single-user gender-neutral bathrooms.) That the windows allowed sound to leave the bathrooms as well doesn’t help. Best part? The windows were part of an increased privacy package. I have to wonder how Gelazela framed that part.

EDIT: Rechecking, the windows were more trumpeted as about safety than privacy. Still bundled with privacy wards, though; did Gelazela think it was fine as long as there was a net gain in privacy, even with known flaws in said privacy?

Laura Wood #racist

For the record, she’s approvingly quoting something a Nehemiah Adams said in 1860.

EDIT: 1855, rather; 1860 was probably a later edition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehemiah_Adams
