Nobody actually sees themselves as a villain. Trump doesn't go "neener neener I'm letting people die and rigging the system in my favor and nobody can do anything about it," he just bitches about being a victim whenever people expect him to be accountable to his position. An actual unapologetic villain I could at least respect for being honest, but the bad guys are bigger hypocrites if anything. 5G radiation does border on microwave radiation. It could theoretically cause irritated skin, assuming you get a harmful dose, which you might get if you spent time inside a cell tower. This hasn't been clinically disproven (last I checked), and is the worst case scenario. It's definitively nowhere near as dangerous as things like sunshine or breathing air that a car has been near. Plus, those borderline frequencies are already reserved for satellites and airplanes, and using them for other transmissions has been straight up illegal in most countries since long before anyone ever suggested 5G phones.

Memento posted:he got addicted to benzodiazepan and instead of coming off it in a controlled environment, he went to a private hospital in Russia where they put him in a coma for 6 days, making him go cold turkey and giving him irreparable brain damage You're getting two events mixed up. First, he decided to quit cold turkey and had a complete breakdown. People saw him speak at that time, and he claims it was his decision. Then his daughter posted on his twitter or whatever that he had gone to a Russian private clinic to be put in a medical coma, after which she's taken charge of the business. The latter could be a conscious decision on his part to ease back into being a nazi self-help guru, or his daughter could have subsumed the grift and is parading around his empty husk, Weekend at Bernie's style. I've seen no definite evidence either way, but the latter does make for a more compelling story.

I've no idea where I read it, but my first techbro invention experience was a gushing retrospective of how they came up with the idea of taxes, because they spent so long talking about every single step of the way, from figuring out how to do group purchases, to the idea of a communal chest that everyone paid into, to their astonishing brilliance in realizing that okaying each purchase was a hassle and a half, so they eventually came up with electing represantives who had the authority to decide how to spend the money in the communal chest. I can sort of comprehend being so sheltered that you've never heard of buses, vending machines or communal living, but I've no idea what their excuse was. Even tax dodgers are keenly aware that they're expected to share and just refuse to.

PetraCore posted:I just think it's possible to discuss male victimization in a feminist manner - for example, the idea that men can't be hurt by women because women are small and weak is very patriarchal, as is the fact that both men and women struggle to report because of how being abused is seen as a moral and physical failing. It doesn't have to be a conversation about who 'deserves' limited resources because we can all be on the same side of survivors deserving protection from abusers. Any effort to draw attention to male victimization is feminist, except the zero-sum kind that does so by minimizing female victims.

You can also just laugh at the idea that Shadow over Innsmouth and the mounting, mind-shattering horror present in that book, was the only thing Lovecraft could think of after learning that he had a fuckin Welsh ancestor. That's, all other aspects aside, hilarious. Lovecraft's racism was so blatant that you can't not revel in its absurdity. Like that one Sartre quote about anti-Semitism goons are always posting, you've already lost if you're trying to engage bigots on their level, but Lovecraft takes racism to its natural conclusion and shows that it is, definitively, ridiculous.

Agents are GO! posted:How is that pronounced? Is it æ? It is, perhaps unsurprisingly, a sound between "a" and "e." This can mean either the "ai" diphthong, or the sound occupying the middle position between a and e. The vocalization for a has the tongue at the bottom of the mouth, while e has it between top set of molars. The monophtong version of æ is the sound produced with the tongue halfway between those positions. There is evidence of both versions being used by the Romans, but Scandinavians exclusively use the latter because we're not savages who think that standalone vowels should be used as diphthongs.

Whatever you think Glinner thinks he's saying, it's probably something even stupider, like "if two trans women are dating they're actually just gay men in denial gotcha"d3lness posted:That distinction is fairly common. Lots of people believe in something, but draw that line at having to essential swear fealty to an organization. Considering how hosed up so many religious organizations are I can't say I'm surprised. Hell, I was in that boat myself for the longest time until I finally slid into agnosticism. I met a guy who argued that Protestantism was the only proper religion on these grounds, that being a proper protestant required you to engage with a philosophical framework and reflect on your self and your actions, while others will just let you coast right on through with a proclamation of faith. I'd have loved to probe deeper into that statement, but I was engrossed in a different conversation at the time, and also because I feel weird digging into matters of religion, as it's something in which I have no personal experience. I kind of had the opposite experience as the one of people identifying as spiritual; I've never believed in anything that could be considered spiritual, but I've also been uncomfortable with the label of atheist because of the kind of people championing it. Then I realized you didn't have to be either, and now I consider myself a materialist.

Guilty posted:Glinner is 100% wrong a complete piece of poo poo. That being said, one of the world's leading queer theorists Michel Foucault tried to make a case that gay desires were rooted in trans bodies in his critique of Zambinella. It's only in fairly recent writings (say post 1990's) that are arguing for a theory of trans people existing independently of homo/hetero divide. Emma Heaney's New Woman was published in 2017. I'm not sure if you're claiming otherwise, but writings on trans people date back to at least the turn of the 20th century. Berlin had a burgeoning trans acceptance movement rooted in the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft in the wake of World War I, which even carried out sexual reassignment surgeries, but which ended rather abrubtly in the 40s. None of the research carried out there survived, but I suspect the idea that being trans and being gay were unrelated had been put to paper somewhere.

If you want Q Anon for Taylor Swift, there was also a big thing in all the white supremacist forums where they were convinced that she was a secret nazi, entirely on the grounds that she's never explicitly said otherwise, and presumably because of all the winks and nudges people looking for conspiracies always manage to find. It kind of petered out when she endorsed Hillary and blasted Trump in 2016, but it was very much a thing. I'm sure most any celebrity has at least one following of internet broke brains deep in some bizzarre rabbit hole.

Veni Vidi Ameche! posted:A lot of people seem hung up on the cowardice angle, but that’s got nothing to do with it. White people don’t get as angry as minorities when the cops kill one of their own because the cops who kill the white people are mostly also white people, there isn’t a pattern of cops killing white people out of proportion to their numbers during what should be routine encounters, and the cops who kill white people are at least sometimes arrested for it without the white people having to burn down all the businesses in their suburbs. I don't know about these specific cases, but back during the Trayvon Martin case there were a lot of people bringing up similar stories, where they left out the very minor detail that the murderers in those cases were immediately arrested and found guilty of murder. There was even one story that chose not to gloss over this, but instead was incensed that the murderer was not given the death penalty, and thought it was somehow equivalent.

If there was an actual deep state running this, why would they want to depose Trump? If you had even a tenth of their supposed capital, you could pass literally anything by running it on Fox News and telling Trump he’s a smart and good president. Or if you wanna be real sneaky, tell him the fake news are against whatever you want him to do. Wanna put 5g autism chips in the population? Have Fox News put CNN or whoever on blast for being against these very stable and good vaccines. Want martial law? Tell him all the blacks and antifas are coming to kill him and also they called him a bitchmade baby when he tried to hide.

I've only had one interaction with police, and it was when I'd called 911 after witnessing an assault, on a crowded street in broad daylight. They showed up a minute before the ambulance, cleared a path, checked on the victim and cordoned off the area. They took everyone's statement, and told me to just go home, relax, try to shake it off, and then handed me a phone number and said I was entitled to six free hours of trauma counseling if I needed it. Later, I went to testify at the trial, and learned that the victim was a trans woman and I had witnessed a hate crime. I've no illusions that most encounters with the police go a lot worse, and I'm not sharing the story to defend them. I guess I'm just now realizing I've never actually shared it with anyone and it's a reminder to me why it's important to tell TERFs that they are the enemy every chance you get. Even cops do more good than they.
