It's amazing how the Red Head "Liberterian" account just goes full Nazi already, like every "Oh I'm just a free thinker" loving chud ever. Like just say you love Hitler, no one on that platform cares; stop being a coward

Like "sterilization of undesirables" is like what, right before the ghettos and camps?

Part of the current brainworms going around is that autistic kids just don't know any better, they are poor wee helpless bairns. So the scary trans convince them to transition and that sterilizes them.

The Worlds Strongest Man and Cerberus Strength both made statements this week supporting LGBTQ rights and the comments quickly became a bunch of actual Pros making fun of the people who were complaining, it was great. Martins Licis was making fun of some bigots deadlift at one point

WSM did some USA Vs UK thing recently where men and women competed together and it was awesome. All the comments I saw were completely in support of it, and talking about how badass the women were. Surprisingly progressive crowd.

Yeah I competed at a new comp earlier this year and the guy running it opened up a non binary category and essentially posted if you have a problem with this gently caress off. Because of him the Magnus Qualifiers next year have non binary classes as well. The Arnold just had their first non binary competitor this year.

A lot of this is because Rob Kearny aka worlds strongest gay has done tons of work to advocate for inclusion and guys like Big Loz (he is regarded as the top analyst/commentator in strongman right now) stood up for him pretty early on.

And it's also helped by the fact that a lot of us are just kind of weirdos or outsiders so the community overall is just very welcoming because of that.

As for talking about how badass the women are, easily the most badass moment of the Arnold this year was this deadlift

It's the main GOP talking point until the 2024 election, so it won't stop being discussed at this volume until then.

Interestingly critical race theory sort of went away for now, even though it was the biggest issue a couple of years ago. School book bans etc are focused on gay stuff now. Two years before that, it was the immigrant caravan. I think this stuff is on exact two-year cycles, correlating with US elections (main and midterm are at two-year intervals).

It's a Musk thread, not necessarily politics thread but the indication so far is that that it is all Musk is going to talk about now (including endorsing DeSantis on his platform). Instead of things that are his actual job, like promoting the Cybertruck which is supposed to start production this summer. Or talking about Mars. I guess Mars is not important anymore for him compared to LGBT stuff.
Yeah I've checked myself being like "why are people talking about cars and rockets in here?" and then being like oh right thats supposed to be this guys thing traditionally and its not a Right Wing Media thread so that makes sense it would be there. I've gotten so used to that being the first thing I think about when I see the game is right wing trolling.

- Tesla stock rallied more than 3% to $229 in early trading, helped by the federal government’s confirmation Tesla’s cars qualify for a $7,500 tax credit and the Mongolian government’s indication it’s open to hosting a Tesla battery factory.

- Musk’s firm now trades at its highest level since November 1, 2022.

- After cratering to a two-year low in early January, Tesla shares are up 111%, the third-largest return of any company in the S&P 500, which is up 12% this year.

- That rally has propelled Musk to once again become the richest person on the planet, according to Forbes’ calculations, topping LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault for the first time in six months; Musk was worth $216 billion Wednesday, up nearly 50% since late 2022

Mongolia Mongolia. If they meant the part of China they would have said Inner Mongolia.

there's something about people supplementing piles of hormones that makes it easy to see just how loving stupid it is to define people in terms of their hormone levels. plus, yknow, probably the only people other than an endocrinologist that most people using (or even just knowing about the use of) hormones for strength sports will ever run into who can have a convo about hormone use are trans people.

I used to get asked fairly regularly by people transitioning what they could do in the gym to look more masculine/feminine, too

So I am gonna preface this by saying I don't use test or any supplementation like that but I also don't have a problem with people using and I don't really consider it cheating. But there is actually a bit of an underground movement going where strength athletes are making themselves available to help trans men and women get the hormones they need.

I think it's the opposite. A chud is complaining to daddy Elon that a leftist is using tools to target a specific audience and block trolls. Elon probably doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, but he sees a pro-LGBTQ headline and a vague accusation of cheating(?). He also wants an excuse to make the site more lovely, by removing a major advertising tool and an invaluable moderating tool. He doesn't WANT to kill Twitter, but he's being damned efficient at it.

The Q crowd have been freaking out about adrenochrome for a few years now and it's because of a single line in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas where Dr. Gonzo says the only way to get adrenochrome is from the adrenaline glands of living human bodies. Because chuds are stupid and don't realize that Hunter S. Thompson's stories were exaggerated and even if most things in them were real those guys were completely out of their minds on tons of psychedelics and other drugs.

Meanwhile, adrenochrome is just a boring and not particularly useful substance that you can actually synthesize fairly easily in a lab if you have the reagents. It's also a coagulant among other things, so taking a bunch of it would potentially be dangerous and not at all some kind of life-extending wonder drug.

Far-right conspiracies are so lazy and stupid.
