Expecting other people to put up with your bullshit while refusing to put up with theirs is a defining trait of childishness.

The most important thing in politics is learning how to pick your fights. Intersectionality is inherently at odds with this. When you're pulling in every direction at once, you don't go anywhere.

What a person thinks, or says they think, matters not at all compared to how they behave. People who act hostile and hateful are hateful and hostile, regardless of their """beliefs"""

Religion provides real benefits using false pretenses, instilling senses of community, duty and discipline that are terribly lacking in general society.

Ignorance *is* strength, of a sort. More like armor. It provides a resiliency which is necessary in a robust ideology.
Meanwhile, knowing is not all it's cracked up to be. For example, most people who laugh at hicks for not believing in the theory of evolution by natural selection have far fewer children than those same people they're laughing at.
So, if you apply the mechanics of evolution to ideology, as memetics has done, you see that these old intransigent ideologies result in a superior rate of genetic propagation.

The only ethical action a human being can preform is suicide.

That whole "prima nocta" thing from Braveheart was hosed up as hell. Could you imagine being God's chosen king and having to have sex with all those filthy Scottish hags? Gag me with a spoon!!

Not to be a dick or whatever but where do you think gender norms come from

I assume there's a department of oppression somewhere and a guy named Norm gets to decide who is a boy and who is a girl.

e: if not, then that's a p big oversight.
