the frog man movement is a real thing on the internet??? making observations about the nature of a movement is a thing one can do when it has a coherent set of ideals or strategy. i mean, people calling the frog men nazis are obviously missing the point, they aren't actually about nazism, thats just shock humour (i would argue that the movement encompasses many neo nazi ideals, but neo nazism isnt actually nazism, also for less obvious reasons i guess).

How can there be communication when one sides entire communication strategy is to silence any dissenting opinion by any means necessary? Every argument presented by the right is immediately dismissed by the left as either non valid or vile and despicable. The left consistently acts like they have everything 100% figured out and have no blind spots on any issue where they could possibly be wrong. Then act accordingly. I don't see any right wing rioters torching downtown or a campus because some one they don't like is speaking there.
this persecution complex is one often echoed in the frog cambers, yes. the thing is, persecution complexes are self-fulfilling prophecies; if you believe yourself to be wrongfully persecuted beyond rational debate, then obviously you cant rationally debate the subject anymore. when people of different perspectives then try to discuss the topic, the discussion immediately gets shut down due to this persecution complex, leading to the party attempting conversation to usually get upset. them getting upset then reinforces the notion of persecution, and so the cycle continues.

there is stupid poo poo on both sides of the spectrum, yes. the obese rainbow hired sjw and the smug green frog men are very similar. the sjws do something outrageous, and the frogs get ouraged by that outrageous thing, causing them to be outrageous, causing the sjws to become outraged, etc. they have merged into a undulating monster that feeds off its own outrage

though, much like you appear to believe sjwism to be more prolific, from what i have observed, frog man videos get far more views, and have a much broader influence on the internet currently compared to "sjwism" (this is mostly through the comparison of youtube views/reddit activity so its obviously not set in stone. id really like to see a proper study of frog man demographics)

The problem inherent in these questions is the assumption that trans people are more likely than other groups to be sexual deviants you dumb gently caress, if you're afraid of being raped by going into a bathroom/locker room maybe don't use the facilities in a burnt out kkk convention center

I know several people who work in corrections, and that is actually a huge issue. Not quite as easily solved as the washrooms problem, sadly. There is no solution that seems clear, quick, and easy that also takes the rights of all inmates into account.

The best solution would be, as you suggest, genderless prisons. But that would require a complete, top-down reworking of the entire corrections system, to make it humane to the point where assault and rape became as infrequent on the inside as on the outside. But, let's face it, that's not going to happen in our lifetimes, because far too many people view corrections as being punitive rather than reformative, and absolutely no politician anywhere wants to be seen as "soft on crime."

They should be genderless, with single-use facilities for those who are uncomfortable with mixed.


Spunky Psycho Ho posted:

Both are equally "justified." Anybody who is worried about rape should be able to use the single-use facilities.


Spunky Psycho Ho posted:

Everybody should be able to use whatever facilities they feel comfortable with. Thus everybody has exactly the same privileges.

edit: I'd like to point out that there are plenty of cis people who are uncomfortable changing in the presence of cis people of the same gender. What do you suggest they do? Just "get over it?"

a lot of immigrants are refugees who did not enter the country through customs, but under the UN they have rights of amnesty and poo poo. Governments go to great lengths to argue why a certain group of people fleeing a warzone are not actually refugees of war.

I am speaking of illegals from the mexican border which are not fleeing a warzone. Also, what is your point? They were not picking up legal immigrants, so they should not have been lumped in with such. But that would not help the narrative that immigrants are being rounded up.

This AM that radio station/NPR were doing a story about "Asylum Seekers" coming across the border into Manitoba CA, fleeing from the evil jackboots of the USA who want to round them up. "Dozens" are crossing the border and they stated it was a real burden covering the associated costs.
