Maybe ask this dude about the fact that an official apology about the colonial treatment of Aboriginal Australians and the entirety of the assimilation policy is a contentious issue. Maybe he'll change his tune.

STRAIGHT TROPIN'

Q: What’s the difference between a ton of coal and a thousand Jews?

A: I was listening to an audiobook on Youtube today, and there was some stuff in the sidebar that caught my attention. I watch MGTOW videos on youtube occasionally, so a lot of TRP/MGTOW/PUA content is recommended to me. The youtube PUA community is filled all of these 20 minute, 30 minute, 1 hour+ long videos about how to supposedly modulate your behavior in a way that will make women want to gently caress you, supposedly. I wondered to myself, if there has ever been a situation wherein a PUA was just so goddamn dead-set on the concept of just pulling a girl who would agree to have sex with him. He practiced all the game, internalized all of the philosophy, bought the car and the clothes on his line of credit, bought the alcohol in the club on his credit and a girl FINALLY is persuaded to sleep with him. He brings the girl to bed, and now he has her vagina staring him dead in the face and suddenly he can't perform, or maybe this girl is absolutely garbage in bed, and now he's stuck with this girl and he has to deal with her.

My favorite video title out of what I've seen thus far is entitled "How To Become The Most Valuable Guy In The Club (Or Street) By Seeming Like You Never Get Rejected", I love the title of this video because it implies that you should have to deal with stupid bullshit in order to have something as simple as sex. It implies that you ought to modulate your behavior or put on a false persona in order to make a girl want to sleep with you. Another thing is that the entire purpose of modulating your behavior is to make yourself appear "Valuable". What does that mean? I'd rather pay a girl money and gently caress her than give her the false pretense that I'm "valuable", I let my money do the talking, not my ego. Remember, women want guys that are "Valuable", right? These guys seem to be searching for egoic fulfillment.

Here's the thing: Having sex with escorts is BAR NONE, HANDS DOWN the most logical, cost-effective, manageable and hassle-free sexual strategy for any man on absolutely any social level. When it comes to escorts, you don't have to be a dancing monkey. You don't have to say the "right thing" to get in her pants. You don't have to go places that you don't want to go. You don't have to deal with people you don't want to deal with. You don't have to deal with impressing someone, the materialism, all the bullshit that goes into pulling chicks in a "socially acceptable manner". If your primary goal for doing PUA is to have sex, you're an idiot. Escorts are literally BETTER at sex. What happens if you pull some girl and she's garbage in bed? You can see a girl of any shape, size color, or do any fetish that you could imagine. Many escorts take their jobs extremely seriously, they want to provide service that's SO GOOD that you will be begging to see them again.

I really want to drive the point home at how inefficient PUA is as opposed to just loving escorts when it comes down to just having sex. According to Google, the average American earns a salary of around $50,756 USD. Lets say that we have an average American man who knows absolutely nothing about finance, how to avoid paying taxes, or how to invest. We'll call this guy Bill. Lets say that Bill will spend 40k of all of his salary on living expenses, taxes etc, and he decides kept $10,000 of that money for escorts.

1: At a rate of 150$ USD per hour, bill can have sex with 66 different women in the US without breaking bank. There is a plethora of escorts in every single size, shape, color, etc if you live in a major city. How many PUA's can say that they hosed 66 different women in a year?

2: Bill can fly over to Thailand and visit Pattaya, one of the most world renowned party cities in the world. Women will be throwing themselves at Bill JUST because he's an American. Bill has lots of options in Pattaya. Bill can gently caress gorgeous, sexy women like this for literally less than 20$ for a couple hours. Bill can gently caress himself silly, experience every hosed up fetish he's ever had in his life, suck 3 different ladyboys at once, and spend less than $2000 USD.

3: Bill might not be into Southeast Asian girls. Bill can fly over to Germany where you can visit one of Germany's famous all you can gently caress brothels, where you he can "stay until dawn, drinking and loving as much as you can handle." Sounds pretty goddamn good to me, drinking and loving as much as you want?

4: Bill can fly over to Tijuana like this guy. Bill can book a round trip and have a week long drug fueled sex fest, have threesomes, pop valiums and snort cocaine, drink beer and eat delicious Mexican street food, come back home and spend less than $2000 USD.

In Option 4, I highly encourage you to read the included link, because it is a wonderful story. The reason being is that in this story, you literally have a guy here who is MORBIDLY OBESE, and when he takes a gorgeous blonde woman into his room, this woman "starts talking to me about how important it is to be positive and encouraging me not to let my weight hold me back." That's some FIVE loving STAR treatment. This guy didn't loving modulate his behavior to "make it seem like he's never been rejected", this guy just came and hosed all the women that he wanted.

What do you chose? Do you chose to be a woman's dancing monkey? Do you chose to be stuck in a woman's frame, waiting for a woman to pick you? Or do you pick women?

Racists aren't known for their creativity, hence the same handful of jokes for the past seventy years. That would imply intelligence and if they were intelligent they wouldn't be racist.

What? I'm just saying that generosity implies some level of inconvenience or sacrifice. If you have $50 to your name and you give away $10, that will make a significant difference to you and is very generous. If you're a multimillionaire then giving away $10 to someone who needs it is still a nice thing to do but it's hardly generous. At that point you're basically an arsehole if you don't.

Yes. "Unpopular Opinion Puffin" became such a vehicle for hate speech that the mods on that subreddit banned it even while Reddit remained a platform for stormfront and upskirt shots and jailbait.

Enough that it's a sacrifice or inconvenience. I don't know how much that is, because I have never been wealthy, but I'm pretty certain that if I had a billion dollars, I wouldn't even notice if I lost 10k. Would I notice a million? Maybe. I don't know.

Notch has to be one of the most insufferable people on the planet at this point. Aside from stiffing his loyal team when he sold out and building, among other things, a wall of M&M dispensers in his turbonerd palace, he's now an Redpiller/MRA and gets in twitter slapfights with marginally famous internet personalities.

So he's like a less-likable Donald Trump.
