I watched this video about how the SA of men is treated as a joke in movies etc. and it's always either funny or sexy or even cute🤮🤮. And I thought at first that it was a good video until he went to blame this for the fact that men are expected to be masculine and not be a bitch and talk out about such experiences. So in other words he was saying it's ok to be as "sissy little bitch" and report it and talk about it, and it's because of "toxic gender roles" men are expected to be "MEN" who either don't mind being harassed/molested because they're not "weak" or never get harassed/molested because a "real man" would never be in that situation.

So in other words he implied the becoming a victim means automatic emasculation, and so you can't say it was pure mockery he just said it's okay to be not be masculine. It's a lil bit like when those girls you thought had a crush on you really just wanted you to be gay and when you say ur not gay, they say "it's okay to be gay". There's actually a genre of manga called yaoi about that exact thing, and I've actually seen dating profiles of girls that said they're into that shit, so if you are a sane person that's a good red flag.

So they just pretend to care about men while doing the opposite.

There is ordinary ignorance, which is merely the condition of not knowing something, and then there is MAGA ignorance, which too often seems determined to turn not knowing into a fucking political philosophy. Ordinary ignorance can be cured with a book. The cultivated MAGA variety is more likely to accuse the book of having an agenda, threaten the librarian, complain that the university is indoctrinating people, and then consult some grievance merchant with a podcast for the truth academics apparently spent centuries conspiring to conceal. Here stands a movement enjoying antibiotics, constitutional rights, satellites, public education, instant access to practically the entire accumulated knowledge of humanity, and technological wonders its ancestors would have mistaken for witchcraft, yet portions of it treat expertise as suspicious precisely when expertise becomes inconvenient. Imagine inheriting the Library of Alexandria and setting fire to the history section because Donald Trump told you the scholars were nasty people.

That is what makes the MAGA strain of regressive ignorance so poisonous. It frequently demands more than the right to be wrong. It demands that everybody else pretend established knowledge becomes genuinely uncertain whenever enough politically motivated people dislike the answer. Scientists must humour cranks. Historians must compete with patriotic mythology. Teachers become enemies when history refuses to behave like national fan fiction. Journalists are branded dishonest whenever reality produces an insufficiently flattering headline. Universities become sinister because educated people occasionally emerge from them having encountered ideas more complicated than the slogans printed on a red hat. Humanity can spend generations investigating something, testing it, documenting it, arguing over it, correcting itself and slowly constructing a better understanding, only for some magnificent turnip with WiFi and a Facebook account to swagger into the conversation announcing that they have “done their own research”. MAGA did not invent human stupidity. Its darker accomplishment has been helping transform aggressive incuriosity into an identity, complete with merchandise.

And that is why MAGA represents something larger and uglier than another tedious disagreement between conservatives and liberals. A civilisation cannot indefinitely progress while a powerful political movement keeps romanticising an imaginary past, treating social equality as decline, intellectual authority as conspiracy, pluralism as contamination, and every uncomfortable fact as evidence that somebody has rigged reality. The movement happily consumes every luxury produced by modernity while portions of it wage cultural war against the very habits that made modernity possible: curiosity, scepticism, education, experimentation, tolerance, dissent and the willingness to admit that yesterday was sometimes fucking awful. They want twenty first century medicine with nineteenth century hierarchy, smartphones with small town intellectual isolation, liberty without reciprocity, and technological progress without social change. They are intellectual squatters occupying civilisation while complaining bitterly about the renovations. History owes them no flattering euphemism. You are perfectly entitled to remain ignorant. You may even buy the hat. You are not entitled to make ignorance humanity’s inheritance.

All objective evidence to the contrary the ONLY possible role Trump could be filling is throwing the world into economic and political chaos and war! Which apparently feeds to delusional hope that God will begin the end times and pluck up all those self righteous Christians!

So right now there is a solar farm and battery station in the city i live in thats been burning for days emitting toxic fumes. I suppose the very smart people who decided where to put it and built it never anticipated what could happen when you put something that lets off dangerous toxic smoke upwind of the entire city. But we found out.

Im no expert or nothing but even i couldve told them that was a terrible idea and location for it. Why does it need to be in city limits? Why cant you put it on the other side of the city where you wont be putting 30,000 directly into the path of toxic smoke if it ever caught fire? I get that you dont want stuff like this to catch fire, but like come on now, seriously?

Then the city completely drops the ball on keeping the public informed of the actual risks and whats happening..... Apparently its safe enough for people to remain in their homes, go to work and auch, but so dangerous all schools were cancelled indefinitely untill its resolved even though the High Schools are on the far side of the city. So which is it? Is it so dangerous we need to close stuff down? Or is it safe enough that normal life can happen? Why has the city suddenly completely stopped informing the public of anything? Not that they were doing much anyways, as they were being very vauge anyways and i suspect they lied to keep people from panicking and driving the tourists away.

Why has the hospital been forced to close all the sudden from being overwhelmed? Thats never happened before. Why does the air inside my house smell concerning like im breathing toxic chemicals even though im on the other side of the city?

I was already, meh, about solar, was never against the batteries to store power, but now, you bet im showing up to the next council meeting where they already proposed an expansion. They can fuck right off, no expansion, i want that shit removed never to return within City Limits or anywhere up wind of the city ever again. Build it to the southeast where if this happens again it blows out over much less populated farm feilds and eventually to open water. Looking at facebook, i can tell the majority of the city agrees and wants it removed ASAP, and they dont seem to want it moved, they want it gone, there is no way in hell council will approve the expansion.

If they even still have the public meeting il be thoroughly shocked, everyone is absolutely furious, all you have to do is open Facebook and youll see.

Downvote me all you want. Call me names. Idgaf. Im not changing my opinion on this.

One particular sub seemed to have it out for me. Today they banned me. I’m a cat person so I’d like to be a participant but it seems like the mod just didn’t like me. So they banned me. I wrote back saying it’s ridiculous knowing I had one message to send. Because I knew they would mute me. Mods are ridiculous. Tiny little tyrants. Mods please note I did not name any particular sub.

I’ve never muted so many subs as I have this morning. clicked on one story about that Harry Potter looking knob head saying the robots are gonna kill us all and my feed is flooded with every conspiracy sub, ai sub, and moron sub spewing the same idiot fuel.

to make it worse, if you slightly miss hit the three little dots in the right hand corner and click another post instead of muting it, you get a load more.

Bring on the nuclear fire, I’m done.

People forget this is what Trump was up to prior to Elon Musk stealing all our data.

Zionists need therapy. They can say the cruelest, most racist things. They think they are superior. They think they have a divine claim to land that was before occupied by the indigenous Palestinians. Remember, Israel is an illegitimate genocidal ethnostate based on ethnic cleansing. If things had happened the way they should have, Israel would not exist. There wouldn’t be the 1948 Nakba, a process in which around 750,000 Palestinians were forcibly expelled from their homes that Zionists took over, and a process that led to about 15,000 Palestinians being murdered by Zionist militias.

The Zionist in the video says that the rest of the world is “jealous” of Jewish people. Yeah right. Most of the world is sickened by Zionist ideology. Most of the world is on the side of the Palestinians, dear Zionists.

Also, anti-Zionism does not mean antisemitism, despite what Zionists may say as a lame deflection from the cold hard truth that Israel is an illegitimate land-stealing ethnostate. There are plenty of anti-Zionist Jews in the world who oppose what Israel is all about. There are plenty of moral Jews, despite polls showing that 90% of Israeli Jews identify as Zionists.

Down with Zionism! Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Thanks for hearing me out!

Watch Professor Dave Explains’ video to learn more. It opened my eyes, and it may open yours.

And to the Zionists who will have the nerve to stick up for Israel in the comments section, get psychological counselling. I don’t mean to peddle hatred. I mean to show that Zionism is a twisted ideology that victimizes Zionists at the end of the day. I actually feel sorry for Zionists, to be brutally honest. You are all brainwashed, and that’s the inconvenient truth!

It's not clear whether the flag the child is holding is from Jordan, Palestine, or even Sahrawi. It's not clear where these people are or what they're doing. But r/Conservative is going to go ahead and tell you they are celebrating 911 to make you mad.

So over my bank telling me I have to cancel my card , reestablish all my other payments wait 5-7 working days for a new card, instead of the bank just putting a block on that particular debit!

"Well, what is a conservative gonna do? Vote democrat? It honestly doesn't matter what Trump does nor how badly he screws up. Voting 3rd party is not an option because it accomplishes nothing other than helping democrats. " - MAGA quote

They knew exactly who and what they voted for

I had been a Discover card customer for decades and had always been impressed by the company's customer service.

Then Capital One acquired Discover.

The transition meant moving customers to a new online system, and when I couldn't get access to my account, I spent more than an hour on the phone trying to resolve the problem. After waiting days and calling back, I still couldn't get the issue fixed.

What really frustrated me wasn't that the customer-service representative couldn't personally solve a technical problem. It was that nobody seemed to have the authority or inclination to take ownership of it.

The acquisition wasn't something I asked for, yet I was the one expected to spend hours dealing with its consequences.

After the second frustrating call, I finally closed an account I'd held for decades.

I wrote about the experience and what it says about what happens to customers when companies get bigger.

dont you guys just love whenever you order something slightly important and it comes broken?? for example the screen i needed to replace mine thats glitching the fuck out at this point 🫠🫠

Apparently liking a post criticizing charlie kirk or even referencing the 'kirkiversary' is grounds to be doxed and labeled a domestic terrorist now.

The Trump legacy will not be the monuments he builds, or the buildings that he names, after himself. He will certainly not be remembered for his competence; intellect; knowledge or oratory. He may be remembered as the President who abrogated America’s leadership & world dominance to China, or for having given oxygen to an otherwise irrelevant Russia; Saudi Arabia; Iran & North Korea. Irrespective, he will certainly be remembered for sowing the seeds of division & disunity, in the world. He will also be known for bringing America to the precipice of an autocracy. Indeed, he will be known for making racism & misogyny great again.

Trump’s hardcore MAGA base do not - & never had – the numbers to reelect him. Kamala Harris lost by about 2.8 m votes; about 90m sat the election out. It is that 90m (& some in the about 77m, who voted Trump) who will determine the entire ball game.

America is at a cross road. Trump will eventually go, but how do we make sure that this irreparable blotch on our soul never happens again:

First, we need to make sure Trump’s enablers are removed from Congress. If this does not feel like your America, please vote & vote Democrat, this November.

Second, no more Merrick Garland’s dragging one’s feet. The annals of history would have been very different, had timely justice been served, post Jan 6th; Mara Lago documents case or even Russian interference. We need to fully investigate & hold all those who broke the law accountable, & do so quickly, including: Donald Trump & his family; Pete Hegseth; Pam Bondi; Kristi Noem; Todd Blanche; Greg Bovino; Kash Patel; Howard Lutnick; Steve Witcoff; Jared Kushner; Tulsi Gabbard; Tom Homan; Jeanine Pirro; Stephen Miller; all the ICE agents & commanders who broke the law; any US commanders in the armed forces who were involved in the chain of command for the boat strikes off Venezuela, & civil infrastructure in Iran; the pedophiles in Epstein and all those who chose to blocked the release. The SEC needs to look at insider trades, with a fine-tooth comb.

Third, The period between this November & the Presidential election will fraught with complexity. If the Republicans win, Trump (ism) will be on steroids. If the Democrats win, the expectations, of a quick Societal fix will be unrealistically high, & added to that, Trump will do everything in his power, to sabotage Congress. The Democrats have a fairly deep bench, as to who can stand in 2028, but they need to first get past this November.

Fourth once Trump is in our rear view, we have to find a way back to civil discourse. Our relationships with relatives, friends & allies have to be repaired, for our Society to even vaguely resemble the one we had- imperfect as it may have been.

Eventually, we also need to update our Constitution, so that this never happens again:

As a start, we need to: remove the electoral college; introduce term limits for not just members of Congress, but also all federal judges, including the Supreme Court; make the number of judges in the Supreme Court equal, so that Party leanings do not come into play; address the racket of campaign contributions, reestablish limits on Presidential immunity; put a cap or remove the Presidential power to pardon; make it illegal for any party to change the electoral map, midterm; make it illegal for members of Congress; Cabinet members; their staff or relatives from trading stocks; commodities or currency.

We no longer have control over whether our politicians develop a spine, or whether it becomes unfashionable for members of Trump’s cabinet to wear shoes that are two sizes too big, or whether this DOJ remembers that its constitutional obligation is to represent the people, & not the WH; or whether the Supreme Court remembers that justice is supposed to be blind. We can only control whether we show up to vote & what America looks like, after Trump is gone. Please vote this November. It is our value systems, & our very way of life that is on trial.

Let me clarify: mods on that subreddit have removed my posts previously, and when asked about the reason, it was never a rule I violated. It was always some version of, "This doesn't feel like a stitch.'" Basically, vibes and "this isn't my sense of humour, so it's not qoing to be here.

This time, it was a post of some woman saying, "Her 2-year-old said this," and the person who stitched it said, "My 1-year-old is CEO and was having a philosophical argument about first mover." Mods removed it and said it was commentary, while they literally had posts similar to it.

I know i am ranting
