London becomes Singapore-on-Thames, but only the bit where England kicks them out as a separate city state due to a long entho-nationalist spat that makes little sense to anyone not versed in the history but definitely contains a lot of words for Chinese and Indian people.

This is one of the craziest loving things I've ever seen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beautiful_Boy

quote:

Writing in the book's opening pages, Greer says that, "Most people have accepted without question that women are treated as sex objects, viewed principally as body, with a primary duty to attract male attention. Though this is clearly true, it is also true that women are at the same time programmed for failure in their duty of attraction, because boys do it better."[13][14][7] She continues by saying that the ideally attractive boy must be "old enough to be capable of sexual response but not yet old enough to shave. This window of opportunity is not only narrow, it is mostly illegal. The male human is beautiful when his cheeks are still smooth, his body hairless, his head full-maned, his eyes clear, his manner shy and his belly flat."[3][15][14]

She says that male youth was previously prized artistically, but in more recent centuries was displaced by a preference for adult masculinity.[15][16] Accordingly, she argues that male youthfulness was desexualised in art.[17] She says that, "At the end of the 20th century, guilty panic about pedophilia completed the criminalisation of awareness of the desires and the charms of boys... Where once boys were considered 'made for love and loved of all' they are now considered attractive only to a perverted taste."[13][18] According to Greer, "among the attributes that are on the verge of extinction is youthful narcissism".[19] She also wrote that, "Boy sex is irresponsible, spontaneous and principally self-pleasuring".[16]

She argues that young male beauty conveys "male vulnerability" and can be "sexualised with impunity", via the "female gaze".[12] She also says that boys are "debarred from phallic power",[12][20] and that they are compelled by patriarchy to "annihilate the boy in him and confine himself to the narrower scope available to him in patriarchal society".[12][21][22] She proposes that "[Campaigners] against 21st-century sex tourism see the traffic as one-way. Their activities are inspired by horror and compassion for children who are forced by economic necessity to have sex that they are not ready for with older people they could not possibly desire. (This assumption itself should cast some doubt on the campaigners' own motives.) When she was studying the 'bad' sexualised mother, the great Melanie Klein asked herself in a note: 'Who is seducing whom?'"[23][24]

According to Greer, pederastic lust was not what art that depicted young males historically expressed, and that these images were attractive due to being based in life rather than lust.[25][16] In her conclusion she says that, "The boy Eros would bring the sexes to a reconciliation, if we would only acknowledge him."[26]

Man you do see that sometimes. That 'everybody else just needs to admit that they want to gently caress kids, like I do!' attitude. It reminds me of a lot of the times people get furious about 'virtue signalling' because it's easier for them to believe that somebody is faking 'virtue' for attention than to believe that someone else has different thoughts and values to them. Or how thieves think everyone steals, and rapists think everyone rapes, but that other people just get away with it more. The 'I'm just saying what everyone's thinking' bit. It's astonishing.

Also I mean just generally I feel like the terves are projecting their own Extremely Normal ideas about sex and sexuality onto other people.

esp. when you combine it with the right wing christian stuff about "purity" and poo poo (or the incel poo poo which is honestly barely dissimilar) the whole thing seems very much motivated by them having extremely weird ideas about sex.

Got a weird pedo story from my local town that not sure is true or not as its like twentieth hand.

Basically a few days ago the police raided a house looking for a murder suspect who fled his own town and was reportedly hiding here, didn't find him, and that was that.
Next night, the NEIGHBOUR of the house they raided upped and left in early am, just packed the car and disappeared.
This was seen and reported to the filth, thinking it may have been the guy they were looking for.
But no, turns out its some guy wanted for abusing his kids who ran away as well and was hiding here too, completely unrelated to the murder.

Why the gently caress does everything keep happening in my 3 street farmer home town in the middle of nowhere.

Don't think this has been posted yet. It's an editorial, not a comment piece, so reflects the "official" view of the paper. While there's the obvious "where was this kind of editorial 2015-2019?", it's interesting in that the Guardian is using a moment of crisis to be a kind of vanguard and push more left than the current Labour party which seems like a thing worth highlighting

quote:

�Are they not fresh and beautiful?� I cried with all the enthusiasm of a man fresh from the fogs of Baker Street.

But Holmes shook his head gravely.

�Do you know, Watson,� said he, �that it is one of the curses of a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with reference to my own special subject. You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there.�

�Good heavens!� I cried. �Who would associate crime with these dear old homesteads?�

�They always fill me with a certain horror. It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.�

When all the citizens retire
To tear their clothes off and perspire.

It is a uniquely British bit of brain poisoning where a bit of sun is just lovely, so therefore a lot of a bit of sun is even more just lovely (because it is always "a lovely bit of sun for once"), and that will always be true no matter how many litres you're sweating nor how red your skin gets.
