Yeah remember when people totally did that when Terry Crews came forward with oh wait no they didn't, everyone thanked him for coming forward about it and showing how "they should have fought them off harder" is a bullshit response

I'm just glad he didn't do his normal thing, where he trawls through comment sections or random obscure blogs to find his straw feminist talking points and then paint them as mainstream thought. I'm sure he could've found a TERF blog somewhere attacking male victims.

speaking of scott, i like how here he's worried about people not buying accusations of sexual assault etc. from the alt-right without stopping to actually think about whether the alt-right will use the information in a non-exploitative and politically expedient way. but i find it funny that the issue scott sees is that people won't be receptive to alt-right doing a "good thing", without thinking about whether any majot alt-right person has actually done such things before, which in reality they essentially have not, but i suppose only leftists exploit things for political reasons.

I wonder how much cognitive dissonance it takes to think not being allowed to say "Well maybe blacks are just dumber" is the true problem of science when climate change is ruining the planet

Especially because like, all of these people are willing to be nice to "Climate change is a liberal myth" types if they're willing to hear them out on the "Exterminate the brutes!" line of thought

I don't perceive climate change as directly impacting my life, and I probably won't have to deal with the worst parts of it, but I see all the time all these people with melanin doing stuff I don't like and people are always telling me to stop being a dick when I'm just stating facts, so from my perspective, one of these situations is vastly more urgent.

Catholicism looking better and better compared to progressivism, eh? The trinity is almost perfectly calculated to not have real world implications and the Church was pretty good about getting dogma out of the way when it contradicted reality. Progs are the opposite. The stuff you can’t talk about is the most important stuff and they continually expand the areas where you’re not allowed to notice reality.

It’s simple risk evaluation — the same reason goons infiltrate and destroy everything. To the extent that your faction is on top, you want to make sure nothing ever changes, because change is almost certainly going to be bad for you. There’s always room for refining the apologetics of your faction, of course, but there’s a reason these people never engage beyond the level of smug one-liners and threats.

Even the existence of communities that haven’t been wholly annexed to the orthodox faction is a threat. Remember that Cass Sunstein article about how it’s actually bad for people to have lives because Hitler? The obvious interpretation of that is that he’s trying to say atomization is good for oligarchs because it lowers the risk that a competing movement will arise. The same logic applies here.

I don’t think this is a conscious strategy. Members of the same subculture tend to share behavioral traits, and selection applies over subcultures — that’s all. But it’s probably a bad idea to let Inquisitors into your group sex club.

(In the Discord I run, I permaban anyone who’s so much as dated one of these people. That’s maybe a bit extreme. But the geek social fallacy of inclusion leads to some major implicit blackmail problems, and I don’t see many people who are serious about avoiding them.)
