Even if I don't post about it people like somfin run in and claim that's what I'm talking about. Posting about England's spotty coverage of Trump and calling people out on using the term retard in this thread had it dragged over to GG, for gently caress's sake. :v:

People discuss GG poo poo in here all the time, even when there's meant to be a forum rule against it. Lets not pretend it's suddenly a big deal when I pop my head in and do it.

He's a pretty good researcher in quantum computing. I suspect that's unrelated to whatever his "punishment" was though.

He wrote a post about his problems with feminism and then people got angry at him. This is a huge injustice to the post-rationalist tribe, because it involves expressing left-wing normative judgements which is the apex of evil.

The inciting post wasn't THAT bad and Laurie Penny wrote a very generous post about the problems with it, but then he just kept putting his foot in his mouth by saying that Alan Turing would never have understood the notion of privilege or that Trump voters are somewhat justified because of how evil SJWs are

are you a creationist that believes all men are created equal or do you accept the science of evolutuion.
outliers are only important in people you meet in any policy consideration in a multicultural nation race and gender difference must be considered.
because we are so different that scientist can tell even with 300 miles of where you were born from you dna multiculturalism is doomed. whats more its just as bad for nonwhites.
Its not a question of nature nurture humans developed cultures that become part of the environmental feedback loop expressed biologically,therefore culture is neither fungible not interchangeable between ethnicities.
Its a word meaning stingy that is etymologically unrelated to friend of the family, although in this day and age it is used only by racists who really want to say friend of the family but also want to pretend they didn't.
Therefore minorities are at a disadvantage in anothers environment in tow way first because they were not selected for it, but also because they can not select for it
In other words a minority in its own nation might find workarounds specific to its own dna that help it compete against the west but when living in the west these workarounds can not be permitted because they would appear a double standard.
continuing trends will destroy the habitat of whites who already stopped breeding leftist hate campaigns and immigration will wipe us out, who then will help the remaining third worlders,? china?

lovely Scott's take is here, where lovely Scott is furious that feminism didn't crumble into nothingness with the revelation of a nerdy white man's sob story.

If only Scott Aaronsen had gotten his wish and been born a woman or a gay man so that he could just focus on math, free of intrusive oppression, who knows where he'd be today. Somehow, though he fought through the pain to be a success -- as did all the other white nerdy guys in STEM, against all odds -- unlike the women and gay men who have such an easy time of things and dominate the field today.

I showed that post to a friend recently, because Scott Alexander's Trump Takes came up and she said that it was a decent criticism of non-intersectional feminism buried underneath Scott Alexander's complete inability to understand the thoughts, feelings, and concerns of people who aren't him.

Scott's real problem has always been that he has a lot of sympathy, but very little empathy. He genuinely can't process that someone would be genuinely scared by Nydwracu shouting about how George Zimmerman was an innocent martyr or the guys on /r/incel who constantly five seconds away from going Elliot Rodger. After all, Nydwracu and incels are in his tribe, how could they frighten someone?

Here’s a model with more predictive power: normie gender relations consists of a tacit agreement, where men agree to perform attractiveness to the abstract concept of the normie woman (i.e. strength, stoicism, emotionlessness, measured applications of violent anger, etc. — if you prefer, ‘toxic masculinity’) and women agree to perform attractiveness to the abstract concept of the normie man (i.e. weakness and dependence), and each sex enforces, and women especially are encouraged to enforce, normie gender relations by responding to lack of attractiveness with, and genuinely feeling lack of attraction as, disgust. The woman performs being scared by a spider, and the man performs being tough and killing it. If the woman doesn’t perform being scared, the man performs being disgusted; if the man doesn’t perform being tough, the woman performs being disgusted.

Everything sane these dudes say about gender relations have been said before, and loudly, by feminists. They just don't know it because they get their concept of feminist secondhand from frothing Sargon of Akkad videos.

When it comes to Donald Trump, I am wary and watchful. Like it or not, Trump has become a politician, and the first thing that any elected official does is to backtrack on campaign promises. However, no matter how much Trump might disappoint his supporters, the Pussy-Grabber is still a better pick than Hillary Clinton. Better a dissatisfying President than a do-gooder President. Four years of let-down is far better than four years of love-thy-neighbor.

The Archduke of Edge has revealed he has a rosier, more idealistic, and more starry-eyed conception of what a Hillary Clinton presidency would have looked like than any actual Clinton supporter I have ever met.

You're a retard if you think Islam is no thread to Europe. Antinatalism does not mean that you don't care about culture anymore. It means making sure the highest culture on earth, Europa, continues to exist. Even Japan's great authors only exist because they read western literature. It's that good. I'm biased towards Europe, just like the greatest aphorist of the 20th century: Davila. The latter is also one of the greatest minds to ever have lived. All hail Europa.
