Before 1991, communists were all waiting for Stalin's armies and his successors' to roll over you and send you to Gulag so they enjoy dining on top of your bodies. After 1991, they figured they had to conquer the institutions from the inside Gramsci-style—all at the same time.

GPT handled the HTML/CSS nonsense for me, or it would have taken me an eternity to do it.

Some psychiatrist very hypocritically going into the Clancy stuff while saying he doesn't, just to say things that support the insanity defense. Ted Bundy was insane too. How many psychotic people kill? Not a lot. I believe the idea that psychotic people should be irresponsible is actually psychophobic. The insane aren't animals. The ones who kill should be done away with period.
As a psychiatrist, I have no interest in going anywhere near the Clancy stuff. The only things you need to know are: 1. It is too terrible for words. 2. People really can get that sick. Really, they can. 3. The very idea of it will be tormenting young mothers all over the world, who are already at the end of their tethers and stressed out of their brains.

It's only suicidal empathy when you're the victim of the bad ideas. When you propagate them, it's murderous brainwashing.

Giant metal monsters from the sky that indiscriminately mass murder men, women and children, and raze cities to the ground... My, where did the Japanese get this trope from?

You'd think that this is absolutely insane, but it follows a method: Anarcho-Tyranny! Communists prosecute the innocent and help the criminals, because they hope that high crime rates will destabilize the country so they can succeed with a communist revolution.

Al presentism is bad—including the belief that people in the far past didn't experience presentism.

Fastest growing religion? Nah, the "my asshole is God" religion is growing even faster. In the last minute, it just grew from 0 to 1 follower, +infinity percent. You literally can't beat that. And infinity is clearly godly.

The Greek invented vowels... and then spent over two millennia de-inventing them, but only half succeeding so far—having turned half of vowels back into iotas.

Why restore Israel to the "borders of 1967"? Which day in 1967? And why not 932 BC?

Coincidentally, Accra is where African and Caribbean leaders led by Ghana met earlier this month to demand slavery reparations from the West. Of course, they don’t mention that it was other African tribes who captured and sold them into slavery. Or the Arab traders who bought millions more and castrated them. And they conveniently forget that it was the West that abolished the slave trade, ended slavery, and pressured every other country to do the same. Because they don’t actually care about slavery. It’s an eternal grift to shake down the West for more and more money. Which is why the target audience of this reenactment is the leftist who will give them everything they want and more.

In the UK, Police officers would have special "cop nights" run by the Pakistani rape gangs where they were allowed to gang rape grooming gang victims as a "Thankyou" for turning the other way. Bring back capital punishment 😡

Civilization, and barbarism, are not defined by the presence or absence of violence, but by who is targeted and why.

Females are attracted by social status in males. In high school the most powerful kids are the thugs. Lots of poor kids with potential go the wrong way because of that. Old English boarding schools assigned actual privileges that mattered to kids with good grades and humiliated those with bad grades. They made sure the kids social hierarchy was forcefully aligned with the purpose of school. Misplaced empathy has made us regress.
Smart guys finish last. “Adolescents with an IQ of 130 were 3-5 times less likely to have had intercourse than those with average IQ. Boys with an IQ that would qualify for intellectual disability (60) were still more likely to have had sex than those with a very high IQ (130)” — Ideas Sleep Furiously/Halpern et al., 2000.

Instead of putting in jail for "inciting racial hatred" those who complain about darkies raping white females, maybe those darkie rapists should be skinned alive for being the ones inciting racial hatred.
