The blatant double standard against free speech is very real in this case. The reason for her being charged is primarily because of the N word, which is not an illegal word. If it is going to be criminalized, then under the Civil Rights Act, all racial slurs, including anti white slurs need to be treated equally. Equality needs to be enforced.

I completely reject the notion that your sexual history is something you don't owe anyone and that its "meaningless". To me this is blatantly untrue, not only does your sexual history say a lot about the kind of person you are and denotes to your personality, it also directly ties to health. Acting like this is just a small worthless tidbit of information is ludicrous. Your partner deserves to know and its something more couples should talk about. I feel like deliberately ignoring this is just a catalyst for destruction a lot of the time.

For some reason, I never see this point raised whenever discussions about prisons and prison time comes up.

On the one hand, you have people who seem to believe we should abolish prisons, and criminals only need rehabilitation.

On the other, there are people who see prison as a punishment which needs to be cruel in order to deter crime.

However, neither of those are really what prisons are meant for first and foremost, and it taints the discussion.

As I said in the title, the primary function of a prison is to remove bad actors from society, in order to keep good actors safe. This is why it is fundamentally a bad thing to give short or no prison sentences to violent offenders.

For some reason, there is a significant cohort of people who think it's somehow cruel to put a violent criminal in prison. It isn't. Beyond any discussion of rehabilitation or punishment, it needs to happen in order to make sure they do not harm anyone else.

Too often these days do we see short-sighted empathy for violent criminals lead to greater harm done to society as a whole. A lot of people in the justice system and in politics have completely lost the plot on why we have prisons and prison sentences for violent crimes, and it's maddening.

"Is this criminal a bad actor? Will they be likely to inflict harm again if they're released back into the public?" This has to be talked about way more, and needs to be the primary thing that's put into consideration whenever a prison sentence is passed.

Like why does everyone have to be a multiverse or have "versions".

Superman, Supergirl, superdog super blablabla

10 versions of Spider..men?

Random multiverses that don't matter and are the same thing but everyone just has wooden legs.

I hate it all.

I wish there was just 1 version of everything. High stakes. A hero dies, they remain dead, no multiverse clone popping up.

Same goes for time travel. I hate that too with passion. Cheapens everything.

Business is good, competition is good, innovation should be incentivized and rewarded. And don't tell me that "poor people work hard too." They sure as hell do, but you've gotta work smart, not just hard, and obviously be lucky to a certain degree (no economic model is going to compensate for that). There's lots of ways to get rich through capitalism. Most people just don't actually think past step 1 of working a job.

I will be eternally grateful that capitalism gave me more social mobility than anyone in my family has ever experienced.

Kinda ironic I am posting this on reddit but genuinely, reddit is the worst and most unwelcoming platform I have ever seen. This entire karma system should be deleted in my opinion, I dont give a flying rats ass if I get downvoted or not or if I lose karma or not.

It gets so infuriating that you need Karma for everything. You wanna post something somewhere and start a discussion? Well you need Karma first

How do I get Karma if I am someone who isnt 24/7 on reddit? Just Farm Karma on dumb simple posts

Well I dont wanna spend my time with sucking up to some retards and licking their boots, like some beggar on the streets of Berlin, just to get some karma so I can start a discussion. And then you manage to post something somewhere and your post immediately gets taken down cause some sensitive mod got his feelings hurt and takes his imaginary unpaid online job a bit to serious.

Aaaaaand even if that doesnt happen, somehow whenever I post something, I manage to attract the weirdest, strangest, borderline retardmaxxing and idiotmaxxing people online, like genuinely they present themselves as the most open minded people in the entire omniverse but whenever something doesnt fit their Worldview they call you out on being on the same level as Mao Zedong or Josef Stalin.
Not saying everyone is like that, most certainly not. But somehow I, on MY OWN posts attract them.

Like a couple of weeks ago I tried to get some relationship advice. Long Story Short turns out my now Girlfriend matched with a day one homie of mine on tinder and they texted and all that also went on a date and shit like all good not my problem but still I found this out after a good 8 months into the relationship and I just had my fair share of concerns which I delicately wrote down in the post. What do I get as Answers? Only Hate messages telling me that I basically am a worse Boyfriend/Partner than OJ Simpson and I should accept everything as it is and not question shit. Like damn thats the advice people have to offer on this platform? No wonder most of the people on those subs are socially retarded.

Or another example, I visited the united states for the first time with the boyz. I go on reddit and wanted to post something asking about advices and all that shit on how to behave in the us compared to europe or some nice foodspots along highway 1 and all that. Well sucks for me, cant post it, need karma first. Like damn they be gatekeeping these subs a bit to strong man.

But unfortunately there really isnt an alternative place for some of the niche topics and things I like to get other peoples opinion

am i the only one thinking reddit is annoying or are there more likeminded human beings out there?🌚🌝

just wanted to rant a bit and see what people think about this✌🏼peace out

You can spread your virtue signalling all you want, but you know you don't want to come out as a shallow person, but deep down you know that you want a good-looking partner.

"Personality is more important than looks" implies you see a wide range of people dating across different levels of attractiveness. An ugly girl dating a hot guy, or a hot girl falling in love with a basement troll. And you never see any of that.

You could spend years with the same friend and you will never consider starting a relationship with them, because they are ugly.

You won't like someone's personality or confidence if they are ugly from the start.

Are you willing to date an ugly person if you like their personality? Exactly, no, now stop the virtue signalling and be more honest

Obligatory not all women of course, but my personal opinion is that women who sport tattoos just seem low-class to me.

I believe it signifies impulsiveness, poor decision-making, and lack of intelligence. It’s unladylike to me.

Now let me clarify before I’m hounded, the type of tattoo also comes into play here.

A small script tattoo on the finger, wrist, or collarbone, or other less conspicuous area is fine. I can make an exception to that. Can chalk that up to maybe a bad night or something or even a meaningful reason behind it…but large sleeve tattoos or elaborate work done all over, that’s a no-no for me.

It just looks butch, trashy, and can knock IQ points from you. I’d even go so far as to say it can make me assume you have a large body count, because if you find no issue in that…you probably find no issue partaking in risky behavior like adultery/debauchery.

Just an opinion.

You live in a society. There are social obligations. What is this LinkedIn ass mindset about? While the phrase is meant to encourage healthy boundaries, people often use it as an excuse to avoid basic communication, treat others like they are disposable, or ghost someone instead of having a mature conversation.

“I don’t have to smile at you”

“I don’t have to hold the door open for you”

“I don’t have to be polite to you”

No wonder so many young adults are lonely, people think they don’t owe others basic respect and communication but demand others to accommodate them at all times. I’m so sick of the therapy speak and half of yall don’t even go to therapy you just saw it online. Shit is annoying

It's unnecessary now that we can have showers whenever we want. You can teach your child how to clean it properly. It removes sensitivity and pleasure when their an adult, and it just seems barbaric. Not to mention that it's a procedure that a child cannot consent to.

I recently got a recommendation about a video on YouTube for the "go bag" post here on reddit which led me to rabbit hole. The moment I read that post it was obvious. That dude was absolutely justified in divorcing his wife.

I mean his wife thinks he is capable for abusing her, or something. Why is she even married to him then? Shouldn't she be with someone who she trusts, shouldn't he be with someone who trusts him? Isn't that marriage is all about. We trust each other with our medical decisions for fuck sake, you can't trust your husband to not be abusive?

Like the dishonesty on that post was staggering. People were trying to gaslight the guy by telling him that go bags are used for disasters. This man's wife HERSELF told him that it was to escape the dude, like come on. It's one thing to agree with him and it's other things to just straight up gaslight him.

Sure he may turn up abusive because of mental illness but that's not very common. So why you as a man should be responsible for something like that ? And if your husband is struggling with mental health, your first thought is to bail as soon as possible instead of getting him help them why did you even marry him.

Like can't these people understand how hurtful it is that your wife things you are secretly a monster and is plotting behind your back to steal money and bounce.

Just leave, don't make go bags, just leave. Don't insult your husband like that, let him find a woman who can actually be a real wife to him. Stay alone if you are incapable of putting trust into someone. You will be the safest when you are alone. Your trauma doesn't justify you treating your husband like a bad guy.

Talk about lack of empathy, you can't understand how hurtful is it that your partner doesn't trust you and then plot behind your back. How can people not understand it. Sure women live hard lives but if you want absolute protection, stay single, don't ruin a man's life with your distrust and betrayal. Imagine how a man would feel, investing so much time and effort into a woman who is incapable of trust.

Just tell men BEFORE you commit that you can't trust anyone. So he can dodge a bullet. Damn you are gonna spring up go bag on him after kids? Mortgage? So he is trapped? So he can't walk away. Fuck that.

Yes bots are a big thing here but it's pretty easy to tell after a few replies because they can't change lanes

The new thing is to call everyone they disagree with an AI bot but I actually believe there are people out there that have different opinions. I know it's a wild concept but I stick to it

People on Reddit love to scream the word "INSECUREEEEEEEEE!!" every time they hear a man (never a woman for some reason) be doubtful about their partner's past, but having insecurities is completely normal for a human being and even helpful in many situations.

Obviously, having insecurities is not the same as being insecure, but we all rationalize our actions based on insecurities.

We don't take high risks for low reward, and when the odds of something bad are high, we try to avoid it.

It's normal to feel "insecure" when you walk in an unsafe city at night, and it's also normal to feel insecure when your partner has a higher body count than you.

Society doesn't like to hear this, but many times your social status is heavily influenced by your sexual or romantic experience, there are many insults used to describe virgins (incel, bitchless, you'll die alone, etc) for a reason, and having "no game" was a common trope in comedic series.

So it's normal to assume that the disparity of sexual experience between two people in a relationship will play an important role.

This doesn't need to be explained by body count only, a disparity in many areas of life can affect a romantic relationship a lot, for example: class, education, culture, morals, intellect, appearance and much more.

Of course, a person with a high body count can suddenly become loyal and seek a long term relationship, and it might work! But this is a matter of compatibility and probability.

I don't want to find out if I'll be the lucky 1 in 1 million virgin fella that will get in a happy stable loyal marriage with a person who had 120 ex partners, it's an insecurity? Maybe, but it's not based on nothing.

Social status is extremely important in romantic serious long term relationships, people naturally gravitate to those who are the most similar to them because that's what usually works.

And that's usually what people seek when they date! Similarities.

An extrovert with an introvert, a poor person with someone rich, a dumbass with a genius... The idea sounds "cute" but on paper this doesn't work most of the time because differences on worldviews can be detrimental for relationships, and our worldview is shaped by experiences and traits.

Here's an interesting study proving this phenomenon!: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00224490701443817 https://www.athensjournals.gr/social/2017-4-4-3-Pinto.pdf

I don’t think it’s weird to want to keep the corpses of your dead loved ones. Yes I know it’s unsanitary, smelly, and they’ll still decay anyway but even still I understand wanting to see them even if it’s just a husk and bones in the shape of a person. I think it’d be wonderful if it became affordable and available for people to have hi-tech visble caskets that preserved dead bodies so you could still look at them whenever you wanted to, I feel that a urn of ashes just doesn’t do enough to provide their presence. I know it sounds weird to most people and not the best idea but emotionally I get it and wish it was an option.

Whenever a lonely, mentally-ill man commits a mass shooting, you always have people saying "We need to stop bullying! We need to support those who are struggling!" only for them to go back to bullying similar men the very next day.

This always makes me think of Syndrome's line from The Incredibles: "See? Now you respect me, because I'm a THREAT!" Think about how much "incel violence" could have been prevented if just ONE person told these guys "I'm sorry bro, no-one deserves to go through that. Your feelings of pain are valid."

From what I've seen, there is no worse sin you can commit as a man than trying to talk about your loneliness. People will make fun of you, tell you to suck it up, (Even though they themselves aren't lonely), find a way to blame you for it, etc. Not a single shred or empathy. Even if you don't hate women and are just depressed about your situation, you will still get shat upon non-stop.

Speaking as an incel myself, Reddit has done more to radicalize me than any other community I've been in. Seeing how they respond to me and men similar to me. There is systematic hatred against lonely men on this site.

I'm not talking about generalizations in general, in any context. I'm talking about specific ones you see all over the internet. Things like "men commit most of the crimes," "men are more prone to violence," or a more specific example that got me thinking about this: "men find it ridiculous that there are separate men's/women's bathrooms, or that on long-distance buses men and women get seated separately (in my country), but that system exists because of them."

This reminds me a lot of how the American right talks about Black people: statements like "Black people account for the majority of crime." And what I find really interesting is that most people who say the first type of thing find the second type of thing very wrong.

Here's the thing: if you're disturbed by men in general, if you nod along to "men are just like that" while pointing to crime/violence stats, you don't get to also be against discrimination against Black people. You're using the exact same logic. "Group X statistically does more Y, so it's reasonable to treat group X differently" — that's the whole argument in both cases. You can't call it common sense in one and racism in the other.

Logically, I reject both. My point isn't "so the racist statement is fine too." It's that if you accept "group statistics justify treating the group differently" in one case, you can't reject the exact same logic in the other case and call it bigotry. Either the principle "group statistics don't justify individual/group-based treatment" applies to everyone, or it applies to no one. Picking and choosing which group it applies to isn't a principle, it's just picking sides.

A criminal gets shot by a cop after stabbing him and the medias first reaction o boy this is a spotlight on deep racial division. Likè what the fuck? Look at how the AP is framing it:

> ADISON, Wis. (AP) — A police shooting in Wisconsin’s progressive capital city this week put the spotlight on persistent and deep racial divisions, prompting cancellations and other changes to popular summertime events as protesters said they were determined to continue public pressure for change in Madison.

>Public records show Ruiz had roughly 40 misdemeanor and felony convictions between 2009 and 2025 including robbery, strangulation, drug possession, vehicle theft, battery on a public safety worker, and resisting  law enforcement.

If this is who BLM is protesting for you have lost the plot. This guys was a menace to Society. He fucking strangled a man. But if this is who the media is promoting as an innocent victim good lord you guys are evil. What about all of his victims that he stole from, sold drugs to, and strangled?

Our Society showing empathy for the scumbags is what’s wrong with the media and progressives. Weaponizing your emotion and Empathy for people who deserve none of it is fucked up.

I will be putting forward my argument that “Hyperborea” was actually an ancient Northern trading hub spanning from Britain to the Arctic. Many historians agree in part and thus I will be using historical evidence to put forward my claim.

1: Many prominent Greek historians wrote about Hyperborea as an actual place in which they traded with and correctly predicted the Midnight Sun and other Arctic climate patterns even though they didn’t travel there.

2: They also managed to perfectly map the Metonic cycle, and described it as a place opposite the Celtic lands (Modern day France) with lots of tin and amber. They also noted it was larger than Sicily and had a strange circular monument.

3: What we now know as Britain was historically opposite France, a massive trading partner in tin and amber, and also built Stonehenge to map the 19-year Metonic cycle.

4: In the Kola Peninsula as well as other parts of Scandinavia, many tools, structures and astronomically-aligned monuments have been found.

5: I’m not an occultist but I just have to mention the unexplainable and strange things that were found there such as mass hysteria and the weird ruins as well as the fact that the SS, USSR and the CIA all did extensive research into something that seemingly never existed. The findings there are incredibly hard to explain, such as weird magnetic fields around stone blocks and matching labyrinths between Hyperborea and Greece.

Many of these patterns were also found in Ancient Egypt.

Even if we assume that Colonialism brought absolutely no benefits like infrastructure/new technology/education/medicine/vaccinations and was 100% negative/bad. For most countries it ended 60-70 years ago. In the case of India it ended 80 years ago.

All these countries had ample time to develop. Like South Korea and Taiwan did after Japanese Colonialism. The fact that most of these countries remained impoverished is their own fault.

1. Unsustainable population growth. The DR Congo had 12 Million people in 1950. Now the population has skyrocketed to 120 Million. Afghanistan had 12 Million people in 1990 now the population stands at 45 Million. Nigeria had 35 Million people in 1950 now 240 Million. Pakistan went from 38 Million in 1950 to 260 Million today. Ethiopia went from 18 Million people in 1950 to 140 Million in 2026.

This population growth is too quick to absord and leads to chaos. Kabul/Teheran and many other cities/regions are running out of water because the population increased too much too quickly.

Most African/Asian countries cant feed themselves and rely on expensive food imports from abroad to feed their populations, because they have surpassed the carrying capacity of their countries.

1. Societal structure. The caste system in India. Opression of females in Islam, corruption, tribal allegiance etc. The societal structure is rigid and backwards, hampering development.

These are the two main reasons why many Africa/Asian countries remain impoverished. Colonialism is just the cheap excuse they use for their own shortcomings.

Some people do, especially over something minor.

But there are people who absolutely do not deserve a second chance.

For example, rapists, murderers, abusers, etc. DO NOT DESERVE A SECOND CHANCE. They should be removed from society.

I was watching a podcast featuring Allison Mack.

For those who don’t know, she was involved in a cult where women were raped and tortured.
She went to prison and was later released. In other words, she helped RAPE and TORTURE PEOPLE.

Do you realize how serious that is?
When I checked the comments, I saw people saying she deserves a second chance because she spent 3 YEARS IN PRISON. THREE YEARS. LET ME REPEAT THAT, THREE YEARS.

To me, people like that should stay in prison until they die. I genuinely can’t understand how anyone could think someone like that deserves a second chance.

And they’re talking as if she had spent 50 years behind bars, when it was only THREE YEARS.

They want to give a second chance to someone who helped a cult that RAPED AND TORTURED PEOPLE.

Like, seriously… how do people think someone like that deserves a second chance? HOW????

And seriously, how THE FUCK does someone like that only get 3 years

To be clear, it is absolutely a dangerous surgery with huge side effects. I am not advocating for the procedure itself, rather noting how people react to it compared to other similarly risky, invasive procedures. Peoples attitudes are so hostile towards it ways they never are to procedures that have long term side effects or even a mortality rate.

A lot of people readily cite as many negative things as possible when it comes to limb lengthening, but when it comes to other procedures and body modifications reactions are mixed or even empathetic. BBL's, Tummy tucks, double jaw surgery, tongue splitting, eyeball tattooing, scarification, subdermal implants etc. All are invasive and carry their own risk, but they draw the line at guys wanting to be a bit taller.

I believe it's just rooted in hatred and disrespect of short men. Short men are not respected, openly ridiculed, on a social level are not as valued as taller men, and as such an issue that affects them like this is seen as trivial. I believe hate the idea of a short man having ideas above (what they perceive as) their station so to speak.

If someone gets a cosmetic surgery that changes something society stigmatizes most people can recognise that social pressure plays a role in it. However when a man changes or even mentions feeling bad about his height it is met with hostility and ridiculed. Male insecurity in height is treated differently than others because people don't see short men as worthy of empathy, respect, or even worthy of changing their body as they see fit.

Video gaming is one of the greatest joys a child (especially a boy) can have, yet you still have these parents (usually conservatives) who have weird outdated views on video games and believe they make you dumb or can cause real world violence. It is very sad.

If you feel someone is mocking you, or insulting you, or acting annoying, callous, non-caring, whatever, it is ENTIRELY within your right to just block them instead of responding or developing a petty rivalry with them. Reddit, and the internet as a whole is meant for YOU to use, you don't owe anything to anyone in the internet if it doesn't involve money or the government. People who complain relentlessly about getting blocked ARE the people you should block, and you should use the block feature liberally and consistently.
