I appreciate that Michael Hudson’s writings show how intensely the early capitalist theorists hated landlords. David Ricardo, Adam Smith. They recognized landlords as pure parasites on the real economy. Yet today propaganda has people thinking it’s socialist to oppose landlords!

Guy who wears a "Rape Your Local Rapist" shirt and rapes his local rapist, becoming a local rapist himself and drawing the ire of another guy with the same shirt (let's hope the the next person isn't wearing the shirt, or else this madness will never end)

It is best to drink heavily during the week. Hangovers are more easily overcome by working, and work, usually so meaningless, is given meaning by this objective.

More Chinese were killed during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression than Jews were killed during the Holocaust. You wouldn't know because we don't cry about it for decades and force the whole world to cry with us.

LGBTQ议题，反映的是个人主义和集体主义的冲突。
对个人来说，如果这个人恰好是性少数群体，那么这个议题对他十分重要。但对整个国家来说，宣扬LGBTQ有害。
性少数群体本身没错，但宣扬它就不行。它会影响社会的公序良俗，降低生育率，不利于国家民族的集体利益。
中国的态度是最合适的，不反对，也不允许宣扬。
其次，对于非发达国家而言，在考虑它的对错之前，还有一个摆在最前面的现实考量：这个议题无足轻重。
争论开了，这个议题会极大刺激群体之间的对立情绪，消耗整个社会的关注力、精力、行政资源。
作为发展中国家，你的社会没有凝聚在搞发展这个最重要的共识上，整天围着极少数人的那点鸡毛蒜皮打转，这太愚蠢了。
环保重要吗？重要。但当你还在饿肚子的时候，该砍树造田就砍树造田，填饱肚子再说。该开工厂污染环境就先污染环境，致富了再来治理。
发展中国家陷入LGBTQ争论，就像穷家子得了富贵病。这是你这个阶段该考虑的事儿吗？
这位朋友，让我们面对这个问题：
巴西的生育系数是1.55，而2.1以上，才可以实现人口更替；
LGBTQ人士中，这个平均系数则为0.1
这意味着什么？
你们冲在了巴西抵抗的最前沿，但20年，30年后，你们老去之后呢？
不再有人，就什么也没有，彻底失败了。
这就是为什么，中国禁止在公共层面大力宣传这个。
必须先有人。
如果停止产生后代，自己消灭自己，那无论你们抗议的怎么英勇，事实上是做了你们反对的人最想做却做不到的事情——解决反对的人。
并且，这件事情是你们主动帮对手做的。
当然，我们也面临巨大的生育危机问题，我们也做错了事，不过这是另一个故事了，我们正在努力振作，解决这个问题。
我以上说的这些，或许有些冒犯，但很抱歉，事情就是这样。

This is a great way to have women's rights reversed if your position (as a Harvard undergraduate no less) is that even when an adult woman consents, that it doesn't matter and the man should be like her caretaker to make the "better" decision. This is what the Taliban believes.
Would texting "free p---y upstairs" have been A-OK if Jane Doe said it was?
The answer is no, which is why Gen Z is increasingly moving away from a monoethics of consent.

This is one of those things that falls in my folder of “MeToo has actually left women with fewer defenses against predatory men.” If a man is being slimy, pushy, weird, etc., you have the responsibility to say no, pick up, & leave. If he pushes past that, then, yes, call it rape/sexual assault, but not a minute before.
By eradicating the idea that women may at times have a responsibility to themselves and to their sexual partner(s) to say “no,” because that’s considered victim-blaming for some reason, MeToo seems to have convinced a lot of women that they literally *can’t* say “no” in an uncomfortable sexual situation, that their only choice is to be victimized by a guy who may very well be under the impression that he’s having a mutually enthusiastic sexual encounter because his sexual partner has not told him otherwise.
Absolutely. It’s a shame the left tells women that they’re so pathetic that they can’t be expected to simply say a clear “no”.
Also, while this doesn’t soften the point about ultimately having agency, I’ve often wondered if this is a direct consequence of our sexual culture. In the past, no was the default for non-husbands, and certainly for non-dates. It’s much easier to say no when no is the default assumption, rather than a personal rejection. Effectively, women are having to say “I don’t find you attractive” straight to a man’s face, which can be awkward. No one believes the no is due to modesty or virtue because that would be laughable. So it has to be personal.

Sororities are fiercely protective of their reputation. No sorority wants to be “the house with that slut who does threesomes”
I bet $50 bucks the president of the sorority called up the president of that frat and said “we will blackball your entire frat if you don’t keep her out of there. We can’t have this happen again”
And I bet she knows that - which is why she is also suing the sorority for revenge.
How much do you want to bet there was additional conversation between the other women and the men where they were already accusing the men of “rape”? Thus causing the men to be afraid to be around the girl, therefore they disinvited her.
She was having sex with everyone. Guys other girls thought they liked no doubt.

A large part of the issue is that basically nobody wants think about a 19 year-old woman consenting, with full knowledge of what it will entail, to something like a ketamine orgy with 3+ dudes. It’s an instant mindwipe for most people, just demographically.

Feel like I woke up after an 8 year nap, logged on and picked the ol’ timeline up right where I left off, like “anyway…as I was saying…”

have you ever watched an all-time great in action, on the field or on the ice, and despite understanding *what* they did, know you could never even attempt it yourself? that’s what this is for posting
