29Enough is enough UbiSoft.  We’ve sat through your multicultural lectures and your preachy games aimed at degenerates and miscegenators.  We’ve tolerated it in the name of gameplay design and innovation.  But no more!  Far Cry 5 is an insult to your fanbase, the Americans who make up the majority of your customers, and it’s time you woke up to that fact.  Change this, or cancel it.
30
31Us Gamers have had to endure a lot of crap over the last few years.  The targeted harassment by the mainstream press through Gamergate, the terrible launch and outright lies of highly anticpated video games, the outright censorship of art through “localization” policies, the continued rejection of romantic partners when they find out our hobby, the appropriation of our culture by so-called “gamers” on twitter.  NO MORE!
32
33It’s time to draw a line in the sand.  We, the American gamers that make up the majority of your userbase, demand to you cancel this game, or alter it to be less offensive to your main player base.  In these times, you must understand that there might be some violent repurcussions if you intend to follow through with your pointless criticism.

38I'm a liberal. That is, I'm in favor of liberty. I don't know how to explain it. If I want to choose my own education, and my own job, and my own family, and what to do with my time and money, I believe I should be allowed to. There could be limits, but what limits could be imposed?
39
40Socialists, on the other hand, hate liberty. Liberty allows people to do what they want, not what is supposed to be good, at least from their perspective or the perspective of those in power. In fact, Lenin, the father of socialism, hated liberty and believed it to be a tool with which the rich manipulated workers. Lenin hated liberty, Stalin hated liberty, Che hated liberty, and even Trotsky hated liberty. Trotsky liked censorship because he believed some words are so dangerous, that they can damage society.
41
42Sanders is also a socialist because he is unhappy with how liberty has been used in America. Sanders doesn't feel that liberty has benefited workers or minorities.
43
44The problem is I need liberty if I want to be a critical thinker. I don't want to do what Sanders thinks is good. If Sanders is religious, should I also be religious? Should I right now go and convert to Christianity and believe in Jesus who was totally a god and pray to Mary who was totally a virgin, just so I could be part of the great community that are American Christians? I don't think so. Sanders is a Jew. Should I at least convert to Judaism and believe in some god? I don't think so. I don't want to.
45
46Even Trump is better than Sanders because he at least pretends to be in favor of liberty. At least he is accountable. It's a sad day for Sanders if Trump is perceived as less insane and possibly less evil. I know some people might support Sanders because he promised them free food or free weed or free whatever, but critical thinkers know nothing is really free.

51They targeted gamers.
52
53Gamers.
54
55We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
56
57We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
58
59We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
60
61Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
62
63Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
64
65These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
66
67Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

71Is having daughters the ultimate cuckoldry?
72
73I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than having a daughter. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are feeding, clothing, raising and rearing a girl for at least 18 years solely so she can go and get ravaged by another man. All the hard work you put into your beautiful little girl - reading her stories at bedtime, making her go to sports practice, making sure she had a healthy diet, educating her, playing with her. All of it has one simple result: her body is more enjoyable for the men that will eventually fuck her in every hole.
74
75Raised the perfect girl? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random man who had nothing to do with the way she grew up, who marries her. He gets to fuck her tight pussy every night. He gets the benefits of her kind and sweet personality that came from the way you raised her.
76
77As a man who has a daughter, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 20 years of your life simply to raise a girl for another man to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically

90Moreover, in regard to the Degeneracy Question, I have no problem with individuals like you (in fact I rather like you - no homo). However, I have a massive problem with the porn industry for example; an industry which destroys women’s lives and saps the life joy from young men.

96You'll all die because that orange monster. All his fault. NK will nuke us all, the Russians will join them now having infiltrated the white house, those chinese and US fentanyl producers will finally do us in too. All because of the bad man. That super racist, massive misogynist, big league bigot, rotund mansplainer, toxic tax evader, homophobic hell hound, world ending man. All the furry woodland creatures will be extinct, not to forget all insects and fish. Not paying huge amounts of money to stop those world wide climate changes due to hasten our demise too, long before his racist wall is finished. Always remember, Love Trumps' Hate.
97
98I won't die though, because I'm one of them Nazi White Supremacists. Pence will ride with Jesus on a chariot sent straight from the pearly gates to get me before the flood. I redid my yearly white supremacist application at Wal-mart too, so no reason they won't pick me up. Always remember to re-certify. Freedom ain't free, the application costs a 17.76$ fee. Along with my AR-420, Jesus and Pence, we'll be gunning down blacks, jews, gays and sand people while we sing the national anthem. Standing of course. I'll be sure to wave to Vermont as I leave. I'm not being sarcastic either.

145Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

149To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volyaliterature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

168Call me all you want. You wouldn't last 10 minutes in a debate about any subject within politics, philosophy, sociology or economics with me anyway. Or would you? Because so far, all I see is that you're just another sad millenial that has only ever learned anything about conservatism or the right via some random snowflake on youtube, Tumblr or Twitter. Or even worse, from a canned commie history teacher in school. Do you fap to hentai still living with mom too? I really hope you don't. The mere fact you mentioned the word "fascist" and Nazi towards my person gives away the fact you are clueless just like 99% of the SJWs, Antifas, Blackblocs.
169
170Feel welcome to invite me to a debate if you want. Until then, you can downvote and play the 20-something year old millenial with college debt you probably are all you want, I won't mind. Feel free to say I was triggered by you. Would entertain me even further if you did.

199I have become increasingly frustrated with the posts and comments that are being made in this subreddit. We have opened our gates in the name of open dialogue and free speech. And for a good reason too. We are not insecure about the ideas we hold(stressing that ideas doesnt hold us). And we would also like to change peoples minds. And if you couldnt tell we are probably the subreddit with highest openness trait, that plays a part in this. So thats the ideal we have about discussion. But the problem is that we are being constantly barraged by comments by trolls who's only wish to derail the conversation. And we let them colour the dialogue and we let them waste time because we willingly turn around and try to argue with these trolls! Now what is the solution? I dont think super strict moderation is beneficial, so we need to think about this seriously. Too many posts made with the intention to troll. The anti-natalist threads was flooded with anti-natalists. A troll was replyibg to my comments and I sent him a pm and tried to find out more about him in an effort to understand and empathize. T'was in vain..

203Ok, hard as it is going to be for you to accept, I have gone beyond your entire field. I'd really like you to give me an argument against my theory above that does not appeal to authority or depend upon your credentials. I have no idea what that argument would look like, I've been searching for it for the past year.
204
205Also note, I have no interest in furthering your field. I am only interested in fixing the world, which contrary to popular opinion does not require revolutions in science or collective action. A small competent team with a few computers and the internet can do more to change the world than a billion people marching the streets with placards fomenting about their "oppression".

232Over the last three years Austin DSA has outpaced DSA groups across the country. All groups gained members due to Bernie/Trump but Austin DSA outgrew all these groups because we were supportive of fights for social justice in Austin. We asked folks to join and we supported other groups’ progressive actions. We spent a minimum amount of time on our bureaucracy and a maximum number effort on involving folks in activism.

234We spent little time grabbing the limelight and a lot of time building the progressive movement as we grew locally and nationally. Other organizations and individual opportunists watched as we grew. Many extremist groups sent folks into DSA to recruit and spread their ideas. They built divisions and spread lies in our ranks. They looked for folks to turn to easy solutions. Real organizing builds organization.
235
236At the national, DSA extremists with less than one year in DSA dominate the leadership. Many of the long-time leaders have been intimidated. The extremists and factionalists have been calling and emailing Austin to pick up supporters for their factions; secretly taping meetings and posting edited versions online. The lack of ethics and simply not knowing right from wrong dominate at the national level and has now crept into Austin.
237
238The opportunists and extremists could not allow democratic socialists to build a movement. Many of these folks do not consider themselves democratic socialists.
239
240I can no longer urge Austin DSA members to stay in DSA and I can no longer ask folks to join DSA. DSA has many good folks, but it is no longer the organization of Eugene Debs, Michael Harrington, or Bernie Sanders.
241
242Many of the new leadership do not think Bernie is a real socialist. In the last weeks rocks have been overturned and snakes have wiggled out. I urge everyone to take a look at what DSA is becoming nationally and what some want DSA to turn into locally. Each Austin member should decide for themselves how to relate to DSA. I have decided to leave DSA.

272
273I believe I have proved my point, if you are someone with the capacity for rational thought, look at how the clowns and propagandists heavily misrepresented my arguments, so let's explain.
274
275First, let's not go down the idiotic semantical route of "Homophobia means irrational fear of homosexuals which doesn't exist", we have to all agree that it is a misnomer and we're all okay with that. No one "irrationally fears homosexuals"... the term is used as "Hatred of homosexuals", alright? good, we are agreed.
276
277Second, I have been hanging out with homosexuals my entire life and one of my greatest mentors is a homosexual himself. Let me explain a bit using him as an example; This guy is a medical professional like me, except he's a specialist in prosthetics and EXTREMELY good at his job, I honestly could never see myself being anywhere near as good as him at any branch of medicine, so as you can see, I have great respect for him.
278
279But the thing is, he's not "A gay guy" or "some homosexual"... that is reducing him to just "he likes to take it up the ass" and one of the most disrespectful things that I could possibly imagine. And do take note that he , and all the other guys like him that I associate with, wouldn't even engage with retards like the guys that responded to me, they'd tell them to go fuck themselves , that "You don't speak for us". Key aspect here is, these guys are never mistreated and never receive "hatred" because they're homosexuals, because it's not a big deal, and it's not really a part of who they are. I don't think of these guys as "Homosexuals" or "Gays", they're just guys, like me. This is the difference between SJWs and intelligent men.
280
281My mentor for example, is a high end medical professional, bodybuilder (He looks 15 years younger than he actually is, it's insane), jokester (Holy motherless goat, this guy is seriously a clown, in the best way you have no idea) and just all around a cool guy. He doesn't put on a "I'M A GAY" show , he's just a regular guy who happens to like other guys.
282
283No.
284
285It is my observation , throughout my entire life, where in almost every point in my life I associated with homosexuals ... mostly because I was always antisocial and so that put me next to people who were very charming and accepting, which basically means most homosexuals in the viscinity.
286
287The guys that get "hatred for being homosexual" are invariably the guys that are "HOMOSEXUAL FIRST" and then nothing else. These guys are absolute clowns in the worst way and guess what, the guys I mentioned earlier, they would absolutely be the first to call these clownish guys out.... and far, FAR more aggressively than I would.
288
289Nobody "hates" homosexuals, they are assholes that think they should get special treatment because they're homosexuals. Or let me specify because I know for a fact that propagandists will take that literally or out of context.
290
291There are jackasses in the world, but it is an extreme minority that hates homosexual for being homosexual. It is almost always the case that they receive hatred for being hyper entitled , attention whoring jackasses.
292
293But here's the real secret;
294
295The propagandists that responded to me, they view homosexuals as inferior, I don't. I view them as guys like me, with the capacity to do what I can do, my equals and guys that don't need defending or to be a special "protected class", they recognize that that would be a tacit admission that they are inferior and they hate that, at least that what the guys I've always hung out with have immediately recognized.
296
297Here's what any of them would say to this thread; I don't need you to treat me with kid gloves, fuck off with that shit. There's no "homophobia", there's just assholes and we all have to deal with them now and then

303It should be noted that I've upvoted every single person who's disagreed with me here, as far as I know. That said. Last week, I took an online IQ test without preparing for it at all. It showed me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches; anything further and they'd consider it to be within the margin of error for that test.
304
305My mother's boyfriend of 8 years is a Philosopher who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 49, I understand religion better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding free will. He's not particularly successful as a philosopher, but I've met lots of other philosophers who aren't as good as me at physics. I'm also pretty good at Middle Eastern geopolitics. I don't have a degree, and other than physics I don't have a better understanding of any aspect of Islam than any actual theologian, but I have lots of ingenuity for making broad generalisations. I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I've come across. Every question of existentialism which I've seen discussed in SMBC or xkcd or Reddit or anywhere else, the thoughts haven't been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me.
306
307I've considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is. Religion, I actually understand better than people with degrees. Unlike engineering, there's no aspect of foreign policy which I don't have a very good understanding of. I can debunk many of even Noam Chomsky’s theories. I'm a good enough writer that I'm writing a book and so far everybody in r/samharris who's read any of it has said it was really good and plausible to expect to have published. And that's not just, like, me and family members, that counts strangers on the Internet. I've heard zero negative appraisal of it so far. The following are some examples of my morals and ethical code. I believe firmly that Islam deserves no future. If I were the president after 9/11, I would be for a nuclear response. In fact, I'd even support the concept of nuking the Muslim world. This is essentially because I think that whoever you are, if you have ideas that are dangerous, it would be ethical to punish them simply for the sake of punishment, especially if you are a muslim. I believe in profiling of people based on their race and religion.
308
309I consider myself an intellectual. I don't believe in peer review; they may happen naturally, but it should never be coerced into happening unnaturally. In closing, the people who know me in real life all respect me, as do a great many people in the r/samharris community, where I spend most of my time and where I'm pretty known for being helpful around the community. A lot of people in my segment of the community are depressed or going through hard times, and I spend a lot of time giving advice and support to people there. And, uh, I'm a pretty good scholar. All that, and I think your behavior in this subreddit was totally assholish. So what do you think, now that you at least slightly know me?

313For years ever since I was a kid I always had a strange fascination with what my parents told me was the first lady. Something back then as a child changed inside of me, once I saw her face on the television I felt a rush of boiling hot blood flow straight to my head. The way she would have her beautiful blond hair with the stern tone of voice that made you feel as if you were being commanded by a superior being to do bidding for their pleasure. For years growing up I somewhat obsessed with the women. I downloaded pictures of her off the internet and printed them out to stick on my wall. I would find all kinds of pictures of her and I'd lay in bed every night and morning just staring at her face. As I grew older I began to realize my obsession was more than some strange feeling of connection with this person I had never met before, it was much stronger and it was a feeling I had not ever been really aware of. I was sexually attracted to Hillary Clinton, around age 11 I guess you could say I came of age. You could say I started whipping my own cream if you will. Hillary Clinton was simply what I whipped my cream for. Years passed by, throughout school I kept it a secret. When real life females I knew for years liked me I would always turn them down. In the back of my mind thinking about Hillary and getting anxious to get home and stare at her. Fast forward a couple of years, Hillary's running for president. Oh my god if I could express the blissful pleasure I received knowing the women of my dreams may be in control of not only me but the whole country. I did everything I could to campaign for her, spread word about her and try to get as many people to vote for Hillary as possible. Sadly she lost that year, I was devastated. However at the young tender age of only 16 I received word from the Hillary campaign that they appreciated my efforts but most importantly, Hillary signed it. There it was in my hands, a signed letter of appreciation from the greatest women in the world, the women for whom I've lived for years in service to, Hillary Clinton. Seeing her signature sent shockwaves throughout my entire body, it felt like a wave of pleasure rolling over my shoulders. I kept that letter close and I sealed it away to preserve it. After a few more years I hear Hillary Clinton is running again. This time, I was personally contacted by her campaign to help them get Hillary Clinton to be the US president. I was all on it, I went to every house on the block teaching people about Hillary Clinton and why they should vote for her. Many people, many Bernie Supporters, all of them changed their opinions once I got to talk to them. I like to believe, I'm partly responsible for Hillary winning the primaries. So many people were almost as in love for Hillary as I was this past election. We were all so happy to serve such a intelligent women seeking to make the world a better place. Sometime near the end of the primary I was actually contacted by the clinton foundation themselves. Apparently I was offered a reservation at a meeting to speak to Hillary Clinton herself. My reaction was priceless, in my head I imagine my smile was from ear to ear. I started hyperventilating at the thought of talking to or better yet being next to Hillary. I had my parents help me get a nice suit, new haircut, even got my eyebrows done. About a month later it was time, I was on my way 200 miles away to meet the women of my dreams, who I had dedicated my self emotionally and physically to since I was a child. We traveled across the state and into a gated community on a private resort. When we pulled up to the address we were sent, all you could see is cars lined up as far as the eye can see. I stepped out, walked into the party looking for her. I did not see her at first, spent about 20 minutes waiting and keeping an eye out. At the very least I just want to see her, I said to myself. Just then out of no where appeared what appeared to me to be a goddess sent from heaven. As the sunrays shined on her from behind, I instantly knew it was her, Hillary Clinton. She gave a 5 minute speech on fossil fuels and corporate tax rates. The entire time I felt my lesser bulging in my pants attempting to free it's self as I thought about all the times I had released by self in tribute to her. She stepped down from the podium, and I knew I had to talk to her. So I made my way over to her, and then there I was. She began walking towards a table near me, I'll never forget how she walked. It was so elegant and graceful like something I had never seen before. Time seemed to be at a halt as I observed ever inch of her being. Noticing even the tiniest of details like a single split hair on the back of her head. I was nervous, but I knew I had to be calm and ready. Servers came out with a plate full of spaghetti. She ate it, and I sat there pretending not to watch. After she was finished I made my way to her. She made eye contact with me, and smiled. Her lips, teeth, cheeks, everything about that smile drove me crazy. It felt like I was going to let the devil do his bidding right there without any hands on help. But I controlled myself, I opened my mouth and said, hi. She responded with a reluctant hi that appeared somewhat skeptical of me, maybe she thought I was mentally disabled, I don't know. Then I told her how I helped her campaign and would go around getting people to vote for her. She thanked me, then she extended her hand in preparation for me to extend mine. I reached my arm out, I grasped her hand, and I shook it. Just then I felt an electric shock go up my arm into my chest. It was like she had just taken everything that I am, balled it up and squeezed it. I felt pure agonizing pleasure shaking her hand. Knowing my own desires will never be fulfilled by this beautiful goddess of a women. I forget what I said next, but no matter how hard I try to remember I can't. Whatever I said after that handshake, made her laugh. Not only did I get to see her in real life, but I got to shake her hand, and I hear her laugh. My life felt as if it was complete, if i died right then and there I'd die the happiest man alive. Never had I expected such joy to even exist in this world. This goddess of a women, who's so strong and powerful, who've I've dedicated my entire life to, had just acknowledged my presence by not only communicating with me but physically interacting with me. After that short interaction we both moved on. I never told her a word about how my life has been or the things I've thought about. I figured she would just think I'm some creep if i did. My pleasure and desires are not of her concern. Since then I've spent my life dedicated to her even throughout all the turmoil. I try my best to avoid any talk about her now in days, or even looking her up. There is too much hate that I can't stand to see. I know who she really is, and I will forever remember her as the women she presented herself to me as. My goddess, my love, Hillary Clinton.

317I consider myself an adventurer, especially on the culinary front. I have consumed livers, kidneys and brains. I have eaten an Amazonian herb that numbs your tongue, which sort of nullifies the point of eating, and I have tried shrimp that were still alive — still wriggling — until the downward chomp of my incisors.
318
319But on a recent visit here, I had pasta alla gricia on the first night, then pasta alla gricia on the second night, then pasta alla gricia on the third and fourth. There’s only one possible explanation, which is of course Donald Trump.
320
321Before I elaborate on that, I should explain pasta alla gricia. It doesn’t enjoy the fame outside of Italy that it deserves. It’s essentially pasta alla carbonara minus the egg: less gooeyness, less guilt. “Lighter than carbonara” is how I often describe it, although that’s like saying “humbler than Trump.” The bar is low, and everything’s relative.
322
323It can be made with bucatini. It can be made with rigatoni. It could probably be made with shoelaces and still be worth ordering. It’s proof, like many Italian delicacies, that the communion of fat (it’s studded with crispy bits of pork cheek) and salt (it’s deluged with pecorino cheese) is the most reliable ticket to heaven. And it was one of my go-to dishes when I lived here many years ago.
324
325But four dinners in a row? That was unheard-of. It made me realize how much I relish constancy now. And it got me to thinking about how underrated sameness is.
326
327When Trump came down that escalator in June 2015, he was inconstancy. He was newness. Sure, he’d been around forever, a fixed star in the celebrity firmament. But Trump as a politician, let alone as a president, hinged on a hankering for novelty and an itch to trash the status quo in favor of the great orange unknown.
328
329Before his election, supporters of his told me that they didn’t think him perfect and weren’t even certain of his competence, but hey, could American government get any worse? Why not toss the pieces up just to see where they land? These voters viewed what they were doing as bold. They weren’t wrong. But boldness and recklessness overlap. And here we are.
330
331We lurch from one surprise, provocation and scandal to the next. Tariffs today, the execution of drug dealers tomorrow. Stormy Daniels at the moment, stormy weather all the time.
332
333Administration officials turn over at a breakneck pace. (Farewell, Rex Tillerson.) Traditional presidential etiquette is gone. So are traditional presidential ethics. We got our taste of the untried. Dear God, is it sour.
334
335Italians are more practiced at such tumult. Over the past 25 years, Italy has changed prime ministers 13 times. It has swung this way and that. At this point it’s more or less dangling: The nascent, renegade party that got the most votes in the recent election, the Five Star Movement, lacks a majority, not to mention a workable agenda, and doesn’t have a coalition partner.
336
337There’s no clear national purpose, no steady national trajectory, no sturdy sense of control. Italians wait, somewhat helplessly, to see what happens next.
338
339But their rituals, their families and their food — these are governable and protectable across time. They’re the engines of stability. They’re the agents of solace. Italians cling to them more fiercely, and with greater pride, than we Americans embrace our kin and our ways.
340
341I used to view this with a mixture of admiration and ridicule. When I lived in Rome, I often groused about how many restaurants had almost identical menus and how inviolable the rules and rhythm of Italian meals could be. Cappuccino at breakfast but never after dinner. Beer with pizza but not with pasta.
342
343On return trips to the Eternal City, I occasionally rolled my eyes at the changelessness of it all. Here a carbonara, there a gricia, everywhere a cacio e pepe. Italians, I decided, wanted for imagination. They lacked daring.
344
345Maybe so. But this time around I felt only respect and gratitude for what they do have: the discernment to recognize a sweet spot — or rather, a fatty, salty one — when they find it and the wisdom not to abandon it on the unsupported chance that there’s better around the bend.
346
347And so I kept happily to routine. I walked the Roman paths that were most familiar and dearest to me, lingered in the Roman piazzas that had given me pleasure before and supped not just on the classics but on one classic in particular: gricia. It was my link to a calmer past and my thread through a turbulent present.
348
349I can’t predict where, politically, Italy or America is headed. I can’t inoculate myself against Trump’s coming tweets. But I can count on what happens when pork cheek meets pecorino. I can plant myself at that juncture. And I can stand still.

353You arrogant, racist son of a bitch Pankaj Mishra: How dare you accuse me of "harmlessly romancing the noble savage." That's how you refer to my friend Charles Joseph, who I've worked with for 15 years?
354
355And you call me a fascist? You sanctimonious prick. If you were in my room at the moment, I'd slap you happily.
356
357You say "Peterson claims that he has been inducted into “the coastal Pacific Kwakwaka’wakw tribe” Just what do you mean by "claims" you peddler of nasty, underhanded innuendo, you dealer in lies and halftruths?
358
359This happened in part because of the work I have been doing alongside Charles. Is that a "claim," too, and something brought about by the romance of a fascist with a noble savage? Fuck you.
360
361Apparently, when you're the "premier literary-intellectual magazine in the English language" you can justify publishing libellous, racist tripe

365Hello,
366
367I’m interested in starting a left wing militia in order to remove the current Democratic regime in the US and install a radical left wing monarch. I am located in Atlanta, but am recruiting worldwide. I’m recruiting a minimum of 10 million soldiers and maximum of 15 million soldiers. Can we talk politics if you’re interested? And can you refer me to other radical left wing users?

375So we are supposed to believe that I ruined the pro white movement for calling out Beyonce? Are you serious? Folks, this is what called infiltration and division. This is planned. NO ONE pro white or conservative cares about Beyonce. Only liberals. Liberals are pretending to be part of our “movement” and are trying to cause drama right now. DONT FALL FOR IT.  Now to address the accusations… Beyonce was comparing herself to the Virgin Mother. She’s disgusting for doing that and what’s more, people are disgusting for worshipping Beyonce. I didn’t take anything away from any pro white movement for calling out that diabolic trash for what it was. I’m a Christian and when someone mocks the Mother of Christ I’m going to call them out. Period. I never said ANYTHING about her children. God bless her children, I hope they survive her.

379Lol honestly fuck you. Anticommunist social democracy does it again! Just go ahead and fucking ban me. As the “anti-tankie” “left” slowly but surely gives into the anti-Russia war propaganda on the grounds that “well really, Putin, Assad, Juche, Iran, Cuba, America, the Soviet Union are all equally bad...” and devolves into liberal both-sidesism, I hope you remember that you’re responsible for helping axe a principled commitment to anti-US imperialism. I was never being ironic, fuck you and fuck this sub. You idiots have made me like Stalin more (who I literally think is bad) because I realize now he was essentially right about social fascism.

383I don't usually use forums or Reddit, I usually just post comments on Ancap blogs like Molyneux or Cantwell's blog, but they didn't seem appropriate places to post my story. So here goes, I just wanted to share this with all of you.
384
385Nov 3 I flew to Europe for a Eurotrip type tour. Not a guide or packaged deal, just going around by myself. I paid for half of the trip with the wages I earned over the last two years, my dad paid for the other half. I am 19, I guess that is normal starting college and all. (Before that I worked for my dad's company part time, so I guess you could say he paid for all of it, lol).
386
387I did France and then Italy and then Greece next. I am an Ancap so I wanted to see anarchists in these places. Yes, I know they are different kinds of "anarchists" and not really full anarchists like us. I went to an anarchist book store in Italy and it had a lot of English books, but no Rothbard or Ancap. Like I said, I expected that, not a surprise.
388
389I went to Greece, which everyone knows is famous for its revolutionary anarchism, its economic crisis and everything going on right now. Here I found directions for a local anarchist center. I went and didn't see anybody, but it was covered in graffiti, mostly in Greek so I couldn't read it. Whatever, I started taking pictures. Then some people came out and confronted me.
390
391This should have been my first warning sign something was not right, because photography is not a crime. They were not violent, but they were not friendly, like asking who I was, what I wanted. They all spoke good English actually. Not uncommon in Greece. I said I was a tourist and an anarchist and I just wanted to take pictures. Then they got friendly and told me I should have asked first (but pictures are no NAP violation so I don't know why, but I didn't say anything) and they invited me inside.
392
393We hung out for a while and smoked hash (there is no good dank in Europe as you might find out like in Cali, everyone smokes hash with tobacco which isn't as cool as it sounds). We started talking about politics and anarchism. I was trying to talk about the state, they were like yeah no doubt the state was bad. But they wanted to talk about capitalism, capitalism this and that. This is when we started to get into a debate.
394
395I told them that what they called capitalism is different from the free market. They said capitalism is free markets. And I said I agreed. That is what I am saying. Real capitalism is free markets. And they said yes, that is what we are trying to get rid of. And I said no, but we don't even have that right now. We need more free markets. And everyone at the same time was like "nooo" we are anarchists, we are against capitalism. Anarchists oppose capitalism.
396
397And I said but not anarcho-capitalists. Anarcho-capitalists are the anarchists who support capitalism. I had a fanny pack (yeah, lame I know) for my camera and in that I had this yellow and black bowtie (also super lame, it was a joke but I wasnt wearing it). And I said look, these are the Ancap colors, yellow and black, like versus the communist red and black. Well, these guys had a lot of red and black in the building already so I thought they would get it.
398
399I think that is when it started to get a really bad vibe, really tense in the air. The free market thing was funny, we disagreed but I think they thought I was just confused. Everyone was uncomfortable now. Then someone said markets wont work with democracy. And I said exactly, that's it, democracy is against anarchism. And they kind of agreed, and said yes, we don't have real democracy, just governments, and we needed more democracy. I said no, we need less democracy, democracy is the enemy. And we need to end democracy to have anarchy. Then they were all like "noooo" again. You know that thing people do in groups when everyone all says "nooo" or expresses some disapproval at the same time.
400
401And one of them said "but we do want to stop democracy" and then they kind of spoke back and forth in Greek. I didn't really understand it. And they asked me what I meant.
402
403So I said okay, I had the floor, I was going to tell them about ancapism. And I tried to explain to them some Rothbard and Hoppe. I said the natural order in anarchy is that the best rise to the top, the market picks who is the best. They compete and are peaceful. They said what do we want instead of anarchy. I said we want private owners to own their own land and businesses, and to employ people. They said that is what we have now. I said no, it would be even better. One of the guys said it was like feudalism. And I said it is not feudalism.
404
405Eventually one of the guys spoke up and I thought he was Greek, but he spoke English perfectly so he may have not been. He said he knew what anarcho-capitalism was and that we were basically fascists. He asked me if I thought everything should be private. And I said yes. And he asked me if I thought people were unequal. And I told him yes. And that not everyone would have equal rights. I said everyone has the right to own property and not be done aggression against. But that not everyone had to be treated equally by the owners. He said what about immigrants and racism. And I said that would not happen in a free market, but yes property owners could be racist if they wanted to. They had to respect property.
406
407Then he called me a fascist again, and someone else said I was a fascist. And then they basically all started shouting fascist at me, and one of them grabbed me by the wrists. They pulled me out the door, it was up three floors, and basically drug me down the stairs on my back. It hurt really bad and I remember yelling "you're breaking the NAP" and things like that. "Stop initiating force against me." Then they kicked me around on the ground in the hallway, before they took my camera and threw me outside. I was crying and stuff, I just sat there. I was in shock because it was so sudden. Looking back there were warning signs though.
408
409I think they felt bad for me and gave the camera back, but when I looked later they stole the memory card with all of my Greek photos.
410

421Here's the problem we have: There are some people who demonstrate themselves to be incompatible with free society. They've shown that they are capable of inflicting traumatic, indescribable levels of pain on others.
422
423The debt they take out against society through their crimes is something they simply cannot ever repay, either.
424
425With people like this, rehabilitation isn't an option. When you have a person like, say, John Wayne Gacy...a person who has brutally murdered children for no greater purpose than self-satisfaction...even if you could rehabilitate the guy, the only way you could test your success would be to release him into a situation where he is able to murder more children. If he doesn't murder any, great! You rehabilitated him! If he does...well, the cost of your failure is one or more young boys being murdered in a most catastrophically torturous manner.
426
427Simply put, the bet isn't worth the hand.
428
429Our options are limited to two things, then: We can lock the people like this in a concrete box and wait for mother nature to do our dirty work, or we can go ahead and give them a quick and painless exit from a life they simply are not equipped to handle.
430
431I don't want to torture people like Gacy. Forget what he "deserves", because they certainly don't deserve quick-and-painless given the amount of pain they've caused, but that's not something a dispassionate justice system can accomplish. Most people don't get what they deserve...for better or worse. His victims didn't get the death they deserved, and killers like him don't get the death they deserve either. But I still think it's irresponsible to bring bloodlust and vengeance into this, even if we are 100% sure of guilt.
432
433I think the most practical solution here for all of society is to put people like this in a sealed chamber and fill it with an inert gas like argon or nitrogen and let them drift off into unconsciousness in peace.
434
435In a system where guilt is assured, I'd take up a job as executioner of such people and I'd never lose a minute of sleep over it.

Yet when someone comes to test you, and not even in a very serious way, you immediately get so threatened that you resort to... invoking dumb culture (“hahahaha ayyy someone pointed out an obvious cheap and lame caricature that I made so I’mma immediately [smash that ‘nerd’ button](https://imgur.com/hQaIMsE)”)?

443Am I seriously reading that people are saying that the testicles produce urine based on the questionable biological teachings?
444
445Fuck right off.
446
447The balls are too soft. I know this for a fucking fact. They're not going to store that piss, shoot it out and just regenerate that a few hours later. Kick fucking rocks, bud, if you think the balls could ever fucking contain that fucking golden fluid You've probably barely left the bedroom, never mind trying to study the goddamn motherfucking urinary tract. The bladder is a piss hardened mother fucking storage system from a long fucking line of evolution, and that poor bastard still gets full. The balls are not piss hardened mother fuckers. They are all as soft as butter in the back window of a car. Don't forget that.
448
449People are actually legitimately dying because of the influence of people who think pee is stored in the balls. Like, actually being killed. Like your best friend in high school suddenly has their fly parted in front of you and now there's a golden shower all over your face for no fucking reason. They're being pissed on and people are arguing that pee is stored in the balls is revolutionary or some shit. Fuck you. I find that insulting.
450
451This stupid pretentious argument demonstrates perfectly why I think the actual left has so little sway in our cultures.
452
453Get your head out of the fucking memes and let life take that meme and beat the idealism out of you until it seeps from your balls and coagulates on the floor in the form of having a clue. Start solving real fucking problems. The extreme rate of bladder-related diseases caused by piss is a real fucking problem. A system of class oppression that is propped up by bigotry is a real problem. Predatory and corrupt financial systems is a real problem. The corporate take over of your government is a real problem. Neo Liberal puppets in office is a real problem.
454
455Even these things, while important, are still not how you win any votes. Trump might be the king of fucking kidney stones outbreaks but he won that fucking campaign for a reason, and like so many people here have said, it's because his voter base is actually pissed off about valid things. I bet you money his average voters problems are something like this: "I need to pee." Start solving those things for people and you'll really be talking.
456
457Stop with this shit that I need a dictionary and an open Wikipedia search to understand. We need to wrap our big dumb heads around the fact that if someone can't afford to go to the dentist and get a rotten tooth pulled then they probably don't give a fuck about spacey, frivolous academics. Arguing that the theoretic value of your political movement (which is never going to work anyways because you cant see the basic science behind fucking pee) is worth more than an attempt at changing laws to prevent bladder research makes you an asshole.
458
459TL;DR Back up your shit talk and you won't be called a lefty piss bitch so often.

463Orks have socialized everything. Socialized space flight. Socialized medium of exchange. Socialized krumping. Orkdom is a true meritocracy in the sense that Orks literally get bigger the longer they live and the more fighting they do, but all orks are equally entitled to fighting whenever they want to and the fighting is shared equally amongst all orks. Additionally, because Orks a genetically hardwired to follow the biggest, meanest, krumpinest ork (biotruufs) but Orks also maintain a powerful psychic gestalt they have essentially solved the problem of large scale, noncoercive hierarchical organizaton; The biggest, meanest, krumpinest orks are recognized to have authority on account of being the biggest, but collective decision making is truly democratic as each ork contributes to the psychic gestalt that is the true driver of ork collective decision making.
464
465Orks extremely robust physiology makes medical care and even mechanical augmentation trivial, allowing for a devolved medical care infrastructure staffed by Orks who have an inclination towards exploring the wealth of medical knowledge encoded in their genetic structure. Likewise, orkish industry is devolved to a very low level, with individual mekboys able to trade on the orks encoded genetic technical knowledge to rapidly industrialize in any conditions imaginable.
466
467Even the wealthiest orks, the so called "Flash Gitz" are limited in their accumulation of wealth by the essential nature of Orks. Orks use their own teef as a medium of exchange for the vast majority of common goods and needs. Orks can either harvest their own teef or punch them out of another orks, but accumulation is largely impossible because teef decay at a more or less fixed rate once separated from the ork, which keeps the orkish cash economy extremely liquid. Another factor preventing wealth accumulation is the nature of orkish hierarchies, orkish psychology, and the orkish psychic gestalt; most orkish infrastructure is constructed organically at a very devolved level. An enthusiastic mekboy's enthusiasm is literally infectious, inspiring other orks to develop their latent mekboy talents and join the construction project, which in turn motivates more orks to participate. In this way orkish industry is built from the bottom up, as individual mekboys inspire infrastructure build up informed by the needs of the waagh as determined either by Orkish leadership or hte collective will of the orkish psychic gestalt.
468
469Extremely large capital projects like fortresses, kroozas, rocks, stompas, and planetary class weapons are financed not with teef or other mediums of exchange, but rather arise out of the collective enthusiasm of the waagh for really big weapons. Far from being alienated from their labor individual orks will happily and enthusiastically leap in to the construction of large orkish capital projects, deriving satisfaction and a sense of place and meaning from the knowledge that their efforts are directly contributing to the Waaaghs ultimate goal of getting in to a bloody good scrap.
470
471The paradoxically hierarchical yet devolved nature of orkish leadership cannot be overstated. The biggest ork in the Waagh enjoys the near absolute loyalty of the Waagh, but only as long as the Waagh continues to progress, grow, and find new battles to fight. If a leader founders, becomes unpopular, or simply fails to prosecute the Waagh this will quickly become evident to the Waagh as a whole, with the ambivalence of each Ork towards their leadership influencing the Orkish psychic Gestalt and encouraging subordinate orks to krump extra hard so they can become big enough to challenge the leadership for supreme command of the Waagh. Thus an unpopular leader rarely lasts long. A crisis of leadership will rapidly precipitate a series of coups until a leader emerges who is recognized as the biggest and meanest and krumpinest, at which point all Orks in the Waagh will recognize the leader and resume their individual efforts towards the Waagh. In this way the Waagh maintains rigid hierarchy that is nonetheless serving at the will of the collective body.
472
473In short Orks is Green, Green is best, and you should all be out Krumpin instead of writing nonesense on the interwebs.

477My life is doing great! I have no worries at all. You guys told me it was my white privilege. I had to work hard and attend school and not do drugs. Wow I’m a productive member of society and just want to do what my grandparents did. Have a family, grow a garden. Make big dinners and grind meat in the garage. Unfortunately only one side wants me to do those things and the other side says I should be ashamed of something I have no control over. The color of my skin.

487One lesson to be drawn from recent Western history might be this: Sometimes the extremists and radicals and weirdos see the world more clearly than the respectable and moderate and sane. All kinds of phenomena, starting as far back as the Iraq War and the crisis of the euro but accelerating in the age of populism, have made more sense in the light of analysis by reactionaries and radicals than as portrayed in the organs of establishment opinion.
488
489This is part of why there’s been so much recent agitation over universities and op-ed pages and other forums for debate. There’s a general understanding that the ideological mainstream isn’t adequate to the moment, but nobody can decide whether that means we need purges or pluralism, a spirit of curiosity and conversation or a furious war against whichever side you think is evil.
490
491For those more curious than martial, one useful path through this thicket is to look at areas where extremists and eccentrics from very different worlds are talking about the same subject. Such overlap is no guarantee of wisdom, but it’s often a sign that there’s something interesting going on.
492
493Which brings me to the sex robots.
494
495Well, actually, first it brings me to the case of Robin Hanson, a George Mason economist, libertarian and noted brilliant weirdo. Commenting on the recent terrorist violence in Toronto, in which a self-identified “incel” — that is, involuntary celibate — man sought retribution against women and society for denying him the fornication he felt that he deserved, Hanson offered this provocation: If we are concerned about the just distribution of property and money, why do we assume that the desire for some sort of sexual redistribution is inherently ridiculous?
496
497After all, he wrote, “one might plausibly argue that those with much less access to sex suffer to a similar degree as those with low income, and might similarly hope to gain from organizing around this identity, to lobby for redistribution along this axis and to at least implicitly threaten violence if their demands are not met.”
498
499This argument was not well received by people closer to the mainstream than Professor Hanson, to put it mildly. A representative response from Slate’s Jordan Weissmann, “Is Robin Hanson the Creepiest Economist in America?”, cited the post along with some previous creepy forays to dismiss Hanson as a misogynist weirdo not that far removed from the franker misogyny of toxic online males.
500
501But Hanson’s post made me immediately think of a recent essay in The London Review of Books by Amia Srinivasan, “Does Anyone Have the Right To Sex?” Srinivasan, an Oxford philosophy professor, covered similar ground (starting with an earlier “incel” killer) but expanded the argument well beyond the realm of male chauvinists to consider groups with whom The London Review’s left-leaning and feminist readers would have more natural sympathy — the overweight and disabled, minority groups treated as unattractive by the majority, trans women unable to find partners and other victims, in her narrative, of a society that still makes us prisoners of patriarchal and also racist-sexist-homophobic rules of sexual desire.
502
503Srinivasan ultimately answered her title question in the negative: “There is no entitlement to sex, and everyone is entitled to want what they want.” But her negative answer was a qualified one. While “no one has a right to be desired,” at the same time “who is desired and who isn’t is a political question,” which left-wing and feminist politics might help society answer differently someday. This wouldn’t instantiate a formal right to sex, exactly, but if the new order worked as its revolutionary architects intended, sex would be more justly distributed than it is today.
504
505A number of the critics I saw engaging with Srinivasan’s essay tended to respond the way a normal center-left writer like Weissmann engaged with Hanson’s thought experiment — by commenting on its weirdness or ideological extremity rather than engaging fully with its substance. But to me, reading Hanson and Srinivasan together offers a good case study in how intellectual eccentrics — like socialists and populists in politics — can surface issues and problems that lurk beneath the surface of more mainstream debates.
506
507By this I mean that as offensive or utopian the redistribution of sex might sound, the idea is entirely responsive to the logic of late-modern sexual life, and its pursuit would be entirely characteristic of a recurring pattern in liberal societies.
508
509First, because like other forms of neoliberal deregulation the sexual revolution created new winners and losers, new hierarchies to replace the old ones, privileging the beautiful and rich and socially adept in new ways and relegating others to new forms of loneliness and frustration.
510
511Second, because in this new landscape, and amid other economic and technological transformations, the sexes seem to be struggling generally to relate to one another, with social and political chasms opening between them and not only marriage and family but also sexual activity itself in recent decline.
512
513Third, because the culture’s dominant message about sex is still essentially Hefnerian, despite certain revisions attempted by feminists since the heyday of the Playboy philosophy — a message that frequency and variety in sexual experience is as close to a summum bonum as the human condition has to offer, that the greatest possible diversity in sexual desires and tastes and identities should be not only accepted but cultivated, and that virginity and celibacy are at best strange and at worst pitiable states. And this master narrative, inevitably, makes both the new inequalities and the decline of actual relationships that much more difficult to bear …
514
515… which in turn encourages people, as ever under modernity, to place their hope for escape from the costs of one revolution in a further one yet to come, be it political, social or technological, which will supply if not the promised utopia at least some form of redress for the many people that progress has obviously left behind.
516
517There is an alternative, conservative response, of course — namely, that our widespread isolation and unhappiness and sterility might be dealt with by reviving or adapting older ideas about the virtues of monogamy and chastity and permanence and the special respect owed to the celibate.
518
519But this is not the natural response for a society like ours. Instead we tend to look for fixes that seem to build on previous revolutions, rather than reverse them.
520
521In the case of sexual liberation and its discontents, that’s unlikely to mean the kind of thoroughgoingly utopian reimagining of sexual desire that writers like Srinivasan think we should aspire toward, or anything quite so formal as the pro-redistribution political lobby of Hanson’s thought experiment.
522
523But I expect the logic of commerce and technology will be consciously harnessed, as already in pornography, to address the unhappiness of incels, be they angry and dangerous or simply depressed and despairing. The left’s increasing zeal to transform prostitution into legalized and regulated “sex work” will have this end implicitly in mind, the libertarian (and general male) fascination with virtual-reality porn and sex robots will increase as those technologies improve — and at a certain point, without anyone formally debating the idea of a right to sex, right-thinking people will simply come to agree that some such right exists, and that it makes sense to look to some combination of changed laws, new technologies and evolved mores to fulfill it.
524
525Whether sex workers and sex robots can actually deliver real fulfillment is another matter. But that they will eventually be asked to do it, in service to a redistributive goal that for now still seems creepy or misogynist or radical, feels pretty much inevitable.

529The question is this: Does anybody else believe that we are at the point where civil war (or mass infighting between nations) in the West is inevitable? I pray to God I’m wrong on this so if you guys could generate any alternative conclusions (or find flaws in my reasoning) it’d be much appreciated as it’s one major worry that I wouldn’t have to think about anymore. (Forgive my laziness as I’m a slow typer and I could spend another hour reworking this into an interrogative format, but I feel it’s well enough articulated to get the point across) The following is my most recent mini-essay (I can’t quite think of the right word at this time) which I feel lays out most of my case (if for whatever reason you guys want to see more of my ramblings I’ll see if I can dig some more up and if you’re really interested I am currently in the process of writing a full-fledged essay, but it could be weeks before it’s anywhere near ready): God help us. The left is playing a dangerous game. They’re pressing a stress point on the gender and sex issues. It’s a core aspect that human societies depend on and they are risking a multiple fracture in pressing these different issues simultaneously and forcefully. I’d like to at least graduate college before the seemingly inevitable upcoming societal unraveling that’s going to take place here soon. I don’t even think that they realize the kind of fire they’re playing with. There’s undoubtedly been a rise in authoritarian, collectivist ideologies in the past four years and it is NOT GOOD! Both sides continually provoke the other in a sort of ideological arms race which has already resulted in many deaths and injuries. I’m worried that Trump may turn out to be the biggest political Pyrrhic victory in modern politics as he is a seemingly never ending source of fuel for the left wing propaganda machine that the media has become. I was born in 2000 and only truly begin remembering the beginning of Obama’s first term, but what I will say is this: from what I’ve been able to gather in the past 3-4 years I’ve reached the conclusion that the world we’ve inherited is a Cold-War-esque apocalypse waiting to happen in its own weird way. The United States seemingly hasn’t a damned clue as to what the hell it can do as the sole global superpower other than preoccupy itself with small-fry foreign civil wars to try and prop up some new allies until another USSR-type opponent (my bet is one of these three possible scenarios with somewhat gimmicky yet equally self-explanatory names: “China Rising,” “Russia Reborn,” and “War on the Western Front” [the final being a repeat of the kind of European infighting seen in the first half of the previous century]) comes along. Jordan Peterson has often pointed out that the extreme mastery of the material realm seen in the past 600 years has come at the loss/forgetting of the moral/spiritual/psychological gold mine which Judeo-Christian values can provide us with and that this will eventually (very soon) come back to bite us. We’re too powerful to play the game of war any longer. We must strike a balance once and for all (or at least long enough to buy us time to look into what makes us tick (“know thyself”) so we can come up with some sort of solution). The West represents the best hope for humanity yet and it cannot fail. The last time it fell apart it took over 1500 years before things actually calmed down to a reasonable (if somewhat forced) level. Imagine how much longer that’ll be with thermonuclear weapons thrown into the mix. Not fun! Humanity as a whole has too much to lose. We need to stop this madness on the left and right before it’s too late.

552
553Don’t worry, this time I will be much shorter than the last time. I will explain my positions regarding moral issues that are quite… controversial. And I am sure that some people will refuse to even read this to the end. But I still think my position has to be affirmed and I will refer to this essay if anyone is confused about my views.
554
555First of all, we have to talk about why we care (or don’t care) about certain moral issues. I care about sentient beings. If a moral action affects not a single sentient being – something I am skeptical of, since we live in a closely connected universe – the moral action isn’t even a moral action to begin with; it’s an action just like any other physical event in the universe, such as rain or the moment a supernova occurs. Do you have moral concerns about a distant celestial object exploding?
556
557Anyway, this should clarify my position on necrophilia. Do I personally think it is disgusting? Yes. But many of the mistakes people make when talking about moral concerns is that they inject personal preferences regarding these subjects. There are things I judge disgusting – in the sense that I feel biologically nauseated by them – such as this (if you have a weak stomach in general, do not click on this link).
558
559Do I think this is immoral? Aside from wasting food and resources that could be used for better means, the act of eating this – in my opinion, frankly disgusting – mixture of stuff is not immoral. It’s just disgusting. My whole point is that what we judge disgusting or not only applies to us personally; it shouldn’t be server as guidance to judge the moral actions of others. You think anal sex is disgusting? Don’t do it then, personally. But you shouldn’t use this to impose societal rules on others that might not share this personal preference. It is okay to have personal preferences, we all have them, more or less.
560
561Now, what people were waiting for: what I think of necrophilia. Above, I said that I only care about sentient beings. This means that corpses – which are by definition dead and therefore ceased to be sentient – are not objects of my moral concern. My personal stance about my corpse is that I genuinely don’t care what they do with it, whether they bury it underground, burn it or molest it to generate sexual pleasure. I couldn’t care less. I will be dead by then, my consciousness won’t exist anymore. It is the moral equivalent of masturbating on a sunflower – don’t ask me what I envision by that.
562
563I do think that rape and sexual abuse are highly important subjects to talk about and that we should always have empathy for victims of these crimes against someones autonomy. But this isn’t the case with corpses. In my opinion, we should treat corpses as objects that could be inherited by relatives and friends. If someone ejaculated on my laptop I wouldn’t be angry because I thought the laptop is sentient and therefore someone has violated it’s honor, but because I own the laptop and I don’t want semen stains on it.
564
565Therefore, we shouldn’t treat necrophilia as a crime or even an immoral act in this instance, but as a pure violation of someones personal property. Now, I haven’t thought deeply about what type of legislation I would ideally apply, especially considering the legal loopholes that someone could abuse for the most sinister reasons. But necrophilia in itself can’t be the problem. My personal disgust for it – and the fact that it might not be hygienic to sexually interact with a corpse – shouldn’t serve to morally condemn someone that does enjoy this.
566
567Now, let’s move on sentient beings, which I do think matter in terms of moral judgement. First and foremost, we have to establish that individual adults that are capable of consenting should be able to do whatever they want in their privacy when it comes to sex. Of course, exceptions to this rule might exist, such as someone having a sexual fetish for cutting limbs off or other questions we might have about someones physical and mental health. But in general, in a modern and liberal society, we should give consenting adults the right to perform whatever sexual act they want, whether individually, in couples or even groups. If you disagree with this premise, everything below won’t make sense to you and the conversation shifted about what consent is or not. Not incest in itself.
568
569The first time I have interested myself for the subject of incest (I mean, morally; I myself have no sexual interest in it) was watching a video of popular science publisher and cosmologist Lawrence Krauss, which you can access here. It was a provocative moment, since I have never really thought about the subject and always considered it immoral by default. But it did plant the seed of doubt in me, which, to be quite honest, wasn’t difficult since I have never really cared about it. Many of our principles are just deeply planted in ourselves by our social environment, and they are worth being challenged. I would recommend reading Tauriq Moosa’s “Is Incest Wrong?“, which brilliantly summarizes many of my points as well.
570
571Anyhow, some of the counter-arguments – or better, attempts at countering the conception that incest is not immoral – is to say it is disgusting. Now, at this point I am pretty sure that the reader understands that personal preferences shouldn’t be used as moral guidance. So we can discard that. Another criticism is that incest generates birth defects and therefore is negatively affecting a person that has not consented to this (it is contentious that anyone consented to being born). I would actually agree to this, but with the detail that I would differentiate incest from inbreeding. Inbreeding is when incest happens but someone got pregnant. I think inbreeding is immoral, since it has a high chance of creating birth defects that can be very debilitating in terms of life quality of a person that has not consented to this.
572
573My point is that incest and inbreeding are morally very different. Incest, as the pure act of affection (it also could be sex just for the act of pleasure and not love in the proper sense, but I hope you know what I mean) between individuals that are genetically rather closely related and does not produce any consequences to anyone else is perfectly fine. It should be judged just like any other relationship and condemnation of that is what I would consider rather immoral. If you don’t like incest and you feel repulsion by it: nobody is forcing you to anything. Or, well, nobody should force you to that. So I do obviously condemn the forced marriages around the world that implicate siblings and the sexual abuse that some parents inflict on their children. But as long as there is an even playing field when it comes to consent, incest is fine.
574
575As a side note, my opposition to inbreeding is rather complicated. It invokes questions about who is allowed to reproduce; and this conversation has deep consequences. I think morally, you shouldn’t inbreed. Even though it isn’t certain, it will likely cause tremendous suffering to someone else. But we absolutely should talk about the subject of breeding rights – with intellectual honesty and empathy for those affected, of course.
576
577By far, I think the use of the naturalistic fallacy to justify any opposition to incest is hilarious. Humans and animals evolved mechanisms that prevent incest – ultimately, inbreeding – and therefore it must be wrong, because it isn’t natural. If you are familiar with fallacies, this is a classic one. The morality of an action is totally divorced from what we consider natural or not. The concept of “natural” is, to a materialist like me, very questionable in itself, let alone what it means morally.
578
579The last opposition to incest that I want to address is that having affections for people that are close to you genetically is either a mental illness in itself or causes one. This is a claim I have seen no substance to it – why would we consider that a mental illness? The problem in bioethics as to what we consider an illness or not is a gigantic rabbit hole. It might be so deep, we metaphorically could reach the core of the Earth and come out on the other side. Simply put, I see no reason to label this affection an illness. Just because it isn’t statistically common – at least nowadays – shouldn’t be criteria for such. Otherwise, we might return to the middle age when being left-handed was an illness (or, in that time, a sin).
580
581Perhaps the only evidence that I received about incest causing mental distress or illness was by a study that evaluated the consequences of non-consensual incest – or simply, rape. Yes, I am aware that rape causes trauma. This isn’t disputed, not even close. I oppose rape and condemn it thoroughly. But I haven’t seen any study about the effects of incest that involves consenting actors. I won’t bother linking the article I mentioned above since it has no relevance to the conversation, because I assume by default that rape is wrong.
582
583Since this a controversial topic, I hope you have made it to the end without feeling any nausea. I do think we need to talk more about subjects that invoke disgust in common people, with reason and actual arguments.

587Who knew that 'israel' was not a western creation? According to kahina the Zionist entity is in fact an organic expression of indigenous peoples, not western-European colonists. Oh and saying 'yank' is apparently anti-Semitic now too. Deranged doesn't quite cut it.
588
589If anyone asks kahina to show one example of me allegedly "using classic British contemptuous dogwhistles about Greeks" they will be disappointed, as no such thing exists, the allegation is a foil to allow kahina herself to deploy the 'oily Levantine' trope: inversed Zizekianism.

593Has it not occurred to you that the voice you've read my post in is in fact the voice in your head? It's your voice, it bears your tone, and your judgement values. How about this: Why are you being a little bitch? I am the matriarch of redditarian gang banging, dear. Do you not know who I am? I am desperately lonely. Are you trying to be my friend? Because you've got an interesting way of going about it. I'm ok with this, I can work with this, this is what we do. I do this. (That's an ICP reference. Get it?) Or am I wrong? Are you hurt or offended by something I said? Have I wronged you somehow? Are you upset? Do you feel trolled? As your friend, I feel obliged to inform you that if you said "yes" to any of these questions, you might be misattributing things to me which do not exist. If you don't understand what that means, how about don't sit there and tell me I'm both somehow subjective and also wrong. You can't have it both ways. So what's it going to be, chummer? I am The House. And The House says the door is open. Are you going to walk in here, fuck my shit up, and steal my properties? Ok, that's rude. We could also just chill. If I think I'm someone who thinks they're deeper than they actually are, then clearly I must dig deeper. I died once, true story. Listen... everything I've said in this thread... you must read in a voice with a friendly tone. And before you interrupted me, a youthful jubilence. You're abrasive, I'm sure you already know that. I understand I can be abrasive as well. I can understand you, I need you to understand me. If you don't understand me, we can't be friends. If we can't be friends, then you best get to stepping because you're in my way. Are you good?

597take to respectfully ask for the whole subreddit to be taken down, but I know neither things are going to happen. I'm sure many of you still have the attitude that this kind of thing is merely a fun thought experiment, a bit of debate, maybe even a source of entertainment. However, it is far from any of those things.
598
599In the 21st century, ideas have a lot more power than ever due to the presence of technology. They have the power to sway public opinion much more effectively, and such tools are way more accessible. You may find it melodramatic, but posts like these are nothing short of what I'd consider psychotronic warfare. I take this very seriously, many of us do.
600
601When you try to twist our words and broadcast such libel, you are hurting the working class because you are committing an act of psychological warfare against the Revolution. I take it very seriously, and this will not be forgotten. Trust me, we keep tabs on frequent fliers like you, /u/Propertar who have a record for going into our safe spaces, breaking an unspoken trust, and broadcasting posts and comments meant for Leftists for the purpose of rallying people against us and committing libel against us.
602
603This isn't a joke, this isn't just some salty Leftist you can laugh at. Fun fact, after the October Revolution, a certain phrase was said and associated with the Cheka.
604
605Все счета будут оплачены
606
607In English, "All accounts will be settled"
608
609In other words, don't think that your actions, no matter how small, won't catch up to you. I won't go into too much detail, but we are definitely keeping a log of all counterrevolutionary transgressions, no matter how small. When the Revolution truly comes in full force, your deeds, and we, will catch up to you. You better hope you at least had enough sense to use a VPN, because it might stall us for a little bit. As the saying goes, ALL accounts will be settled. Still, it's more likely than not you're going to be brought before a Vanguard court, and you better hope they can find some mercy in their heart for you. We don't have any room for those who have allegiance to the enemies of the workers, enemies of the POC, enemies of women, enemies of the disabled, enemies of the Vanguard. The Revolution will be forever, we. will. not. go. back. and that's what we're going to do.
610
611You might want to brush off all of this as the edgelord rantings of some Lefty scum, but I suggest you take them, very, very seriously. Let me tell you in more detail how it's going to go for you Capitalists after the Revolution. I wouldn't call the Revolution truly won at that point, I believe that the Revolution could only truly be considered wholly won if full postmodern consciousness has been achieved in all parts of the world. By this, I mean full education and implementation of policies involving class, race, gender, sexuality, ability, and scientific consciousness. In short, a complete upheaval of centuries of bourgeoisie and reactionary contamination across the world, International Revolution. If there are still Capitalists, then the Revolution's goals have not been achieved. The issue would need to be rectified, one way or another. In a sense, it is a contradiction to say that there is such a thing as peaceful rebellion for a Capitalist, because they are advocating for an ideology that is fundamentally violent, fundamentally harmful. It does not matter if they are shooting people in the streets or passing around pamphlets, both are violent actions. It is merely a question of the varying severity of violence. By making attempts to reinstate a violent system, they are perpetrators of violence. Therefore, it does not change how I would deal with them. It is very important that we never go back to the days of wage slavery and racism, and I am willing to use any means at my disposal to preserve the Revolution and advance it.
612
613I've actually thought of this at length, how I would deal with counterrevolutionary elements after the Vanguard has achieved enough power to begin bringing about full postmodern consciousness. In the first phases, it would be fairly easy to deal with counterrevolutionary elements since there will be plenty of blatant counterrevolutionary paramilitaries still lurking around, they can be eliminated using a mix conventional and counterinsurgency methods. This would be the most straightforward, and perhaps the least morally grey phases of defending the Revolution. It would also be a time of asserting the Vanguard's legitimacy and willingness to defend its authority and defend the proletariat from counterrevolution.
614
615There would still be plenty of counterrevolutionaries who hide it better, or choose, "Safer" means of opposition. Still, there are obviously factors that would make someone more likely to be a counterrevolutionary than others, such as being white, such as being or associating with former land owners, former law enforcement, former military of the old regime who chose not to fight with the proletariat. My personal policy is that the burden of proof will lay on them to show loyalty to the Vanguard and to the principles of the pursuit of the postmodern, or they will face purging, sentencing to labor camps, etc. Yes, it is a very harsh policy, I acknowledge that, but it is beneficial in the end. Attempts at Revolution that were afraid to use violence have historically failed. It's either the loss of those who would harm others, or the loss of many more who are Revolutionaries, who could live to see postmodern consciousness emerge, who will birth the next generations who will experience even more victories and even more prosperity. It is important that no one have to live under the tyranny of bourgeoisie or reactionary influences.
616
617I acknowledge that it would be difficult to truly root out every counterrevolutionary, but I have given thought to that as well. This is part of the reason why I advocate for totalitarianism to some extent when it comes to defending the Revolution and establishing postmodern consciousness. There is certainly a risk of the Vanguard becoming degenerated, but I of course have developed countermeasures against even that, which is a story for another time. Totalitarianism, like many things, is a tool, a means to and end. Arguably, totalitarianism is a very risky means to an end, and a morally ambiguous one. However, totalitarianism would perhaps be the most effective way of prevent a counterrevolutionary Blanquist scenario from arising, a counterrevolutionary Deep State, if you will. Surveillance, social engineering, psychotronics, mental orthodoxy, etc. will be, obviously temporary measures to root out any remaining conspirators, hopefully. I would like to go more into detail, but I don't want to digress too far.
618
619Education will be what eventually allows these Orwellian measures to truly be temporary, and that's a promise by the way, I have no intentions of locking the proletariat into a controlled environment for longer than is necessary. Education will be the main tool, education of all people in not only academic pursuits, but in the horrors of the times before. The rhetorical and mental destruction of all oppressive institutions and concepts from the next generations; education on the perils of whiteness, of sexism, of the gender binary, of the class system, etc. The totalitarianism part would go hand in hand with this here, social engineering. People will be encouraged to race mix, to form their own nontraditional identities involving their gender, sexuality, and other aspects. In a few generations, there would no need for totalitarianism due to the complete deconstruction, and the arrival of the postmodern consciousness. New generations would further the cause of the Vanguard elsewhere.
620
621In conclusion, that would be how I will deal with these quote on quote, "Peaceful rebels." Some may consider my methods deeply Orwellian, deeply Draconian, but I assert that they will no doubt still be effective. It is important that we consider the bigger picture, don't be someone who can't see the forest for the trees. Remember, there is a world to win, a grand cause that ascends any other consideration. I leave you with that, enemies and future comrades
622
623If you're still reading thus far, you certainly deserve a bit of recognition for that. Do you know why I am going on this rant? because it is of the utmost vitality that you understand, you all should understand. You should know now that I'm not an idiot, I know what I'm talking about. I'm not crazy, if you can believe it, but I would consider myself a political fanatic. I am very passionate about the cause of Revolution. I am very passionate about the cause of the workers. It is one of my dreams that I will be among the Vanguard when the time comes. I feel, if I can toot my own horn a bit, that I am capable and postmodern conscious enough to do so.
624
625If you've made it this far, you deserve a little candor, I frankly am willing to do whatever it takes to ensure my goals. That may sound insane to you, and in the bourgeoisie definition, it is. However, in the true definition, it is not. I am willing to do whatever it takes because I know it is for a greater good. I have trained for the majority of my life in terms of physical, intellectual, spiritual, mental, emotional every part of it I strive to hone for the Revolution. I am a very serious about this, believe it. Now, onto the actual topic of the post. Despite what people have said here, I don't think that white people don't deserve to be in the Revolution, of course not. But I do not want white people who have not abandoned their whiteness and aren't committed to ending white culture, white institutions, and the physical manifestation of whiteness. I already explained that though, so why don't we go off into another comment, hm? I'm sure it'll be good

629Bud, you have no clue what you're talking about. You haven't read Why Lift and therefore haven't the first fucking clue with which ethical/aesthetic criteria Jordan Peterson was dismissive of traditional workout conventions. You haven't read Paleo Me Plenty. You don't, for example, know another great regimen Peterson dismissed, or why. You aren't making an effort to truly digest or engage in an ongoing dialogue so much as corroding it. But perhaps you're over-rating Peterson as the greatest philospsychitrist of all time. He's just ripped, therefore people think he lifts. Zizek's bulking is just the same as Peterson's lazy 3x5 rep routine.
630
631I could drop so much advanced fitness jargon on you, it would make your head spin, but I won't. Instead, I'll simply point out that you don't know what any of the different modes of dead lifts are, or how they seize upon muscle tissue regeneration. You've never read and don't know who people like Milo of Croton, Galen, or Frederic Delavier are- and those are just the biggies. You've read/seen next to no classic weight training, if any. Certainly not scholastically. You googled some shit about admiring physiques and copy/pasted something written in /r/fitness that you have no basis for understanding. You- yes the dumb, blind, sheltered little product of the exercise industry that you are, contribute to our world's and muscle tissue degradation. (You don't even know what that means because you don't know what good form is). You insult what you're ignorant about. And that's a really shitty thing to do. I suggest you take an honest personal inventory, and then try to make something better of yourself. Because right now, you're pretty fucking disgusting to read. Honestly, I think you should be ashamed of yourself, and should consider apologizing to this thread.

635As a former SR-71 pilot, and a professional keynote speaker, the question I'm most often asked is "How fast would that SR-71 fly?" I can be assured of hearing that question several times at any event I attend. It's an interesting question, given the aircraft's proclivity for speed, but there really isn't one number to give, as the jet would always give you a little more speed if you wanted it to. It was common to see 35 miles a minute. Because we flew a programmed Mach number on most missions, and never wanted to harm the plane in any way, we never let it run out to any limits of temperature or speed. Thus, each SR-71 pilot had his own individual “high” speed that he saw at some point on some mission. I saw mine over Libya when Khadafy fired two missiles my way, and max power was in order. Let’s just say that the plane truly loved speed and effortlessly took us to Mach numbers we hadn’t previously seen. So it was with great surprise, when at the end of one of my presentations, someone asked, “what was the slowest you ever flew the Blackbird?” This was a first. After giving it some thought, I was reminded of a story that I had never shared before, and relayed the following. I was flying the SR-71 out of RAF Mildenhall, England , with my back-seater, Walt Watson; we were returning from a mission over Europe and the Iron Curtain when we received a radio transmission from home base. As we scooted across Denmark in three minutes, we learned that a small RAF base in the English countryside had requested an SR-71 fly-past. The air cadet commander there was a former Blackbird pilot, and thought it would be a motivating moment for the young lads to see the mighty SR-71 perform a low approach. No problem, we were happy to do it. After a quick aerial refueling over the North Sea , we proceeded to find the small airfield. Walter had a myriad of sophisticated navigation equipment in the back seat, and began to vector me toward the field. Descending to subsonic speeds, we found ourselves over a densely wooded area in a slight haze. Like most former WWII British airfields, the one we were looking for had a small tower and little surrounding infrastructure. Walter told me we were close and that I should be able to see the field, but I saw nothing. Nothing but trees as far as I could see in the haze. We got a little lower, and I pulled the throttles back from 325 knots we were at. With the gear up, anything under 275 was just uncomfortable. Walt said we were practically over the field—yet; there was nothing in my windscreen. I banked the jet and started a gentle circling maneuver in hopes of picking up anything that looked like a field. Meanwhile, below, the cadet commander had taken the cadets up on the catwalk of the tower in order to get a prime view of the fly-past. It was a quiet, still day with no wind and partial gray overcast. Walter continued to give me indications that the field should be below us but in the overcast and haze, I couldn't see it.. The longer we continued to peer out the window and circle, the slower we got. With our power back, the awaiting cadets heard nothing. I must have had good instructors in my flying career, as something told me I better cross-check the gauges. As I noticed the airspeed indicator slide below 160 knots, my heart stopped and my adrenalin-filled left hand pushed two throttles full forward. At this point we weren't really flying, but were falling in a slight bank. Just at the moment that both afterburners lit with a thunderous roar of flame (and what a joyous feeling that was) the aircraft fell into full view of the shocked observers on the tower. Shattering the still quiet of that morning, they now had 107 feet of fire-breathing titanium in their face as the plane leveled and accelerated, in full burner, on the tower side of the infield, closer than expected, maintaining what could only be described as some sort of ultimate knife-edge pass. Quickly reaching the field boundary, we proceeded back to Mildenhall without incident. We didn't say a word for those next 14 minutes. After landing, our commander greeted us, and we were both certain he was reaching for our wings. Instead, he heartily shook our hands and said the commander had told him it was the greatest SR-71 fly-past he had ever seen, especially how we had surprised them with such a precise maneuver that could only be described as breathtaking. He said that some of the cadet’s hats were blown off and the sight of the plan form of the plane in full afterburner dropping right in front of them was unbelievable. Walt and I both understood the concept of “breathtaking” very well that morning, and sheepishly replied that they were just excited to see our low approach. As we retired to the equipment room to change from space suits to flight suits, we just sat there-we hadn't spoken a word since “the pass.” Finally, Walter looked at me and said, “One hundred fifty-six knots. What did you see?” Trying to find my voice, I stammered, “One hundred fifty-two.” We sat in silence for a moment. Then Walt said, “Don’t ever do that to me again!” And I never did. A year later, Walter and I were having lunch in the Mildenhall Officer’s club, and overheard an officer talking to some cadets about an SR-71 fly-past that he had seen one day. Of course, by now the story included kids falling off the tower and screaming as the heat of the jet singed their eyebrows. Noticing our HABU patches, as we stood there with lunch trays in our hands, he asked us to verify to the cadets that such a thing had occurred. Walt just shook his head and said, “It was probably just a routine low approach; they're pretty impressive in that plane.” Impressive indeed. Little did I realize after relaying this experience to my audience that day that it would become one of the most popular and most requested stories. It’s ironic that people are interested in how slow the world’s fastest jet can fly. Regardless of your speed, however, it’s always a good idea to keep that cross-check up…and keep your Mach up, too.
636
637There were a lot of things we couldn’t do in an SR-71, but we were the fastest guys on the block and loved reminding our fellow aviators of this fact. People often asked us if, because of this fact, it was fun to fly the jet. Fun would not be the first word I would use to describe flying this plane. Intense, maybe. Even cerebral. But there was one day in our Sled experience when we would have to say that it was pure fun to be the fastest guys out there, at least for a moment. It occurred when Walt and I were flying our final training sortie. We needed 100 hours in the jet to complete our training and attain Mission Ready status. Somewhere over Colorado we had passed the century mark. We had made the turn in Arizona and the jet was performing flawlessly. My gauges were wired in the front seat and we were starting to feel pretty good about ourselves, not only because we would soon be flying real missions but because we had gained a great deal of confidence in the plane in the past ten months. Ripping across the barren deserts 80,000 feet below us, I could already see the coast of California from the Arizona border. I was, finally, after many humbling months of simulators and study, ahead of the jet. I was beginning to feel a bit sorry for Walter in the back seat. There he was, with no really good view of the incredible sights before us, tasked with monitoring four different radios. This was good practice for him for when we began flying real missions, when a priority transmission from headquarters could be vital. It had been difficult, too, for me to relinquish control of the radios, as during my entire flying career I had controlled my own transmissions. But it was part of the division of duties in this plane and I had adjusted to it. I still insisted on talking on the radio while we were on the ground, however. Walt was so good at many things, but he couldn’t match my expertise at sounding smooth on the radios, a skill that had been honed sharply with years in fighter squadrons where the slightest radio miscue was grounds for beheading. He understood that and allowed me that luxury. Just to get a sense of what Walt had to contend with, I pulled the radio toggle switches and monitored the frequencies along with him. The predominant radio chatter was from Los Angeles Center, far below us, controlling daily traffic in their sector. While they had us on their scope (albeit briefly), we were in uncontrolled airspace and normally would not talk to them unless we needed to descend into their airspace. We listened as the shaky voice of a lone Cessna pilot asked Center for a readout of his ground speed. Center replied: November Charlie 175, I’m showing you at ninety knots on the ground. Now the thing to understand about Center controllers, was that whether they were talking to a rookie pilot in a Cessna, or to Air Force One, they always spoke in the exact same, calm, deep, professional, tone that made one feel important. I referred to it as the “ HoustonCentervoice.” I have always felt that after years of seeing documentaries on this country’s space program and listening to the calm and distinct voice of the Houstoncontrollers, that all other controllers since then wanted to sound like that… and that they basically did. And it didn’t matter what sector of the country we would be flying in, it always seemed like the same guy was talking. Over the years that tone of voice had become somewhat of a comforting sound to pilots everywhere. Conversely, over the years, pilots always wanted to ensure that, when transmitting, they sounded like Chuck Yeager, or at least like John Wayne. Better to die than sound bad on the radios. Just moments after the Cessna’s inquiry, a Twin Beech piped up on frequency, in a rather superior tone, asking for his groundspeed. Twin Beach, I have you at one hundred and twenty-five knots of ground speed. Boy, I thought, the Beechcraft really must think he is dazzling his Cessna brethren. Then out of the blue, a navy F-18 pilot out of NAS Lemoore came up on frequency. You knew right away it was a Navy jock because he sounded very cool on the radios. Center, Dusty 52 ground speed check Before Center could reply, I’m thinking to myself, hey, Dusty 52 has a ground speed indicator in that million-dollar cockpit, so why is he asking Center for a readout? Then I got it, ol’ Dusty here is making sure that every bug smasher from Mount Whitney to the Mojave knows what true speed is. He’s the fastest dude in the valley today, and he just wants everyone to know how much fun he is having in his new Hornet. And the reply, always with that same, calm, voice, with more distinct alliteration than emotion: Dusty 52, Center, we have you at 620 on the ground. And I thought to myself, is this a ripe situation, or what? As my hand instinctively reached for the mic button, I had to remind myself that Walt was in control of the radios. Still, I thought, it must be done – in mere seconds we’ll be out of the sector and the opportunity will be lost. That Hornet must die, and die now. I thought about all of our Sim training and how important it was that we developed well as a crew and knew that to jump in on the radios now would destroy the integrity of all that we had worked toward becoming. I was torn. Somewhere, 13 miles above Arizona, there was a pilot screaming inside his space helmet. Then, I heard it. The click of the mic button from the back seat. That was the very moment that I knew Walter and I had become a crew. Very professionally, and with no emotion, Walter spoke: Los Angeles Center, Aspen 20, can you give us a ground speed check? There was no hesitation, and the replay came as if was an everyday request. Aspen 20, I show you at one thousand eight hundred and forty-two knots, across the ground. I think it was the forty-two knots that I liked the best, so accurate and proud was Center to deliver that information without hesitation, and you just knew he was smiling. But the precise point at which I knew that Walt and I were going to be really good friends for a long time was when he keyed the mic once again to say, in his most fighter-pilot-like voice: Ah, Center, much thanks, We’re showing closer to nineteen hundred on the money. For a moment Walter was a god. And we finally heard a little crack in the armor of the HoustonCentervoice, when L.A.came back with: Roger that Aspen, Your equipment is probably more accurate than ours. You boys have a good one. It all had lasted for just moments, but in that short, memorable sprint across the southwest, the Navy had been flamed, all mortal airplanes on freq were forced to bow before the King of Speed, and more importantly, Walter and I had crossed the threshold of being a crew. A fine day’s work. We never heard another transmission on that frequency all the way to the coast. For just one day, it truly was fun being the fastest guys out there.

641New York City, my birthplace, is ringed by Italian neighborhoods. Go to Staten Island, to the Bronx, to Long Island or to New Jersey -- it doesn’t really matter where you go, as long as you are within 50 miles of the Empire State Building. Within that fortunate circle, you will find that you are always reasonably close to a neighborhood, or at least a street, full of little stores and restaurants of unprepossessing appearance and fantastic culinary achievement.
642
643Tragically, such neighborhoods are a blessing of erratic and patently unfair geographic distribution.
644
645In the rest of the country the quality of the prosciutto seems to be directly proportional to the number of hand-crafted teak display cases, and also to the elevation of your heart rate when you view the prices posted inside those cases. In Italian neighborhoods, by contrast, the older and more scuffed the linoleum, the barer the badly plastered walls, the more tattered the appearance of the single 1956 Mass card taped into the cash register by way of decoration, the more likely you are to discover the single best piece of charcuterie you have ever eaten.
646
647Unlike some enclaves that develop great restaurants and markets as they gentrify, Italians do not need to seek out good food as a way of expressing that they have arrived, financially and socially. Italians are already there. And being a cheerful and kind people, they are willing to invite the rest of us in.
648
649I appreciated this anew while on vacation in Italy. Having spent years in a food desert of Washington, DC, I was practically weeping over the ease with which one could secure decent pizza. I am not the only American to have noticed that everything tastes better in Italy, and no, that’s not just because you’re on vacation and surrounded by charming ancient buildings. (You may notice that few accounts of vacations in Reykjavik or Dublin begin with “The food was amazing.”) The quality of produce in Italy is, in fact, much better, because Italians demand that it be better. And having gotten their hands on better ingredients, they prepare them with the care their treasures deserve.
650
651It’s not quite clear why Italians have such an amazing array of exquisite regional dishes, nor why they have held out so fanatically against the blandifying forces of modern commercial food processing. We can guess that the Roman Empire probably had something to do with it. Empires facilitate trade in exotic foodstuffs, and rich imperial barons employ chefs who dedicate considerable ingenuity to finding the best possible uses of those ingredients. Arguably the oldest cookbook in the world dates to the Roman Empire, and it is reasonable to suppose that even after that empire collapsed, its culinary influence lingered among the citizenry. (Though it's worth noting that Italian cuisine as we know it today evolved with the arrival of New World foods like tomatoes.)
652
653A long growing season also helps. Without vegetables or abundant herbs, there are only so many possible variations on “hunk of meat,” “piece of fish,” “egg” or “things you can make from milk.” (It’s not an accident that the northern reaches of Europe are little famed for culinary excellence, or that the most interesting and appealing local specialties tend to be either cheeses or some kind of alcohol.)
654
655Ironically, the tenacity and abundance of Italian food culture may also be attributable in part to the intense regional strife that followed the Roman Empire, and the poverty of Italy’s long decline from its Renaissance peak. As my colleague Tyler Cowen has noted in his marvelous book, "An Economist Gets Lunch," in places that industrialized early, mass commercial canning, and television, preceded the technological and logistical innovations that made it easy for us to get decent produce year-round. In those places, hungry and relatively poor people developed a taste, or at least a tolerance, for bland processed food made palatable by lashings of sugar and fat. Then came television, which favored meals that can be eaten one-handed in front of a screen. And women moving into the workforce, which favored anything that can be prepared quickly.
656
657Thanks to its relative poverty, Italy came to these things late, and at a time when global food supply chains were improving. So Italians held onto a food culture that prized care and taste over efficiency and ability to withstand a harsh shipping process.
658
659All these things are probably part of the explanation, but they cannot be all of it, because why, almost a century after the great wave of Italian immigration ended, are Italian Americans still noticeably better-fed than, say, their Irish-American counterparts?
660
661As the anthropologists are fond of telling us, culture is a mystery, difficult to describe, hard to destroy, impossible to create. It’s the emergent sum of millions of individual decisions. So we cannot replicate Italian food culture; we can only try to figure out how to let as many people as possible free ride on their cultural labor.
662
663New York has more than its fair share of Italian cuisine. Perhaps some denizens of a town or neighborhood of a certifiably Italian-American character will take pity on more barren culinary climes. Of course, without a critical mass, the food culture will dissipate into a sea of Oreos and tater-tot casseroles, so we need at least a few thousand to move en masse. (Which reminds me: If only we could spread French cuisine the same way! But since America has pitifully few recent French immigrants, this may require some sort of special visa program.)
664
665Towns could even entice Italian food-related businesses with tax abatements and special grants enabling them to relocate their linoleum, their Mass cards, and their battered steel display cases to new homes within the Great American Food Desert.
666
667This may seem a little extreme to you. Must thousands of our fellow citizens uproot themselves, simply to improve the food culture elsewhere?
668
669To even ask such a question demonstrates how dire the problem is. If you cared about food properly -- which is to say, as much as Italians do -- you’d already be recruiting in and around New York.

674How exactly does one get pussy while living at the white house as a teenage boy? The secret service always cock blocking you. when you're trying to run game on some foreign prime ministers daughter the news media catches you smiling at her and immediately blows shit out if proportion speculating that you are somehow breaking international law with your awkward teenage flirting, so you have to testify before congress that you didn't give away any top secret documents to her and are made to admit live on C-SPAN that you've never even kissed a girl . Then you get blue balls from some hot conservative girl winking at you and flashing her panties under her skirt and making sexy faces and blow job motions to you while you were going through some airport or public event, and when you passed by and shook her hand she leans in whispering she is going to diddle her clit thinking about you tonight and how much she wants to suck your dick off, just to fuck with you. Then you try to look up some porn when you get home just to relieve the tension but you just know the CIA is monitoring and 3 other govornment agencies are watching you beat off. Then you finally break down and Jack off in the shower which sets off some fucking biohazard drain alarm and the entire place is on lock down until they can find the source of the specimen and you end up getting debriefed by the joint chiefs of staff about your masturbatory habits and how you almost created a national security issue with your dick. Then wikileaks leaks your search history showing you looked up penis enlargement techniques when it was actually just some click bait you'd accidentally clicked and TYT spends all next week talking about your supposed micro penis. So you end up squirming a little since you are so wound up and being judged constantly and now people are saying you look like a fucking mental patient and you start to think you'll never get any pussy.

678My boyfriend (John…not his real name) and I like a bit of light kink mixed in with role play. Nothing too unusual, some boss/secretary stuff, some teacher/student stuff, that kind of thing. It’s fun, maybe something we do once a week or so? Last night my boyfriend started a professor thing…that was cool with me, although he seemed a little more nervous than usual. Once we got into it, he asked me to call him Professor Peterson. A couple of days before we’d been watching some of Jordan Peterson’s videos. I hadn’t really thought much about him, but my boyfriend was excited to show me…he says Dr. Peterson has been helping him figure some stuff out in his life.
679
680I watched the videos and thought some of the stuff he had to say was okay (yeah, take responsibility for your life, for sure), but some of it was just a bit weird over the top alpha male for me (something about not respecting men who won’t fight or something?). It just kind of rubbed me the wrong way.
681
682So anyway, when my boyfriend brought up the Dr. Peterson thing I knew where it was coming from. I really like to be accommodating in bed…I totally get off on it actually. So I went through with it but in the end I wasn’t super comfortable. John has brought it up every day since then…he’s got some real dom fantasies that he wants to act out as Jordan Peterson. I don’t know, like, should I look more into these videos and see if I change my mind about him? Should I play along? I can tell John is totally into it…he’s normally a sex two or three times a week kind of guy but he wants it ALL the time now. I’m happy he’s feeling more horny and I don’t want to shut him down (I’m normally the high libido one). What should I do?

686I dunno I just write the way I like to write, what makes me feel good in my heart, and in... *the eye sockets of my soul.* Yeah that's right. What I... ... …*perceive*… in my gut. You know. R E S O N A N C É. Think of me less a rapper and more a free-wheelin' jazz dealin' buzz stealin' star pon thars, as the good doctor used to say, yeah, he used to say, my God, what instability. What eccentricity. What electronic shock we live in, several stages of it. Speaking my own language, true, yet you know what kind of shade I throw, you can connect the dots -- and threes the magic number after all. So somebody breaks the circle jerk of form. You think the revolution is purely political? It's not sensual to you? Am I *really* not making sense or *did you just not lean in.*

690Downvote me to hell, don't really care. I actually really liked it over here, I found it a great source of accurate information and support. I have seen people make comments about how rude others can be, but I had never experienced that personally. Recently, my 74 year old computer illiterate Dad came here to attempt to make a post ( I sent him here because of the support I've received.) He isn't very good with the dynamics of Reddit, I'm surprised he even found it, created an account and made a post tbh. My sister and I were impressed. He made a thread asking a few newbie basic questions about socialism and what someone his age could expect under a dictatorship of the proletariat. I found his post to be decent, it's nice to hear from someone his age.
691
692You know what people here did? Instead of being the support system of 31k subscribers that it once was? People called him an cop, accused him of not reading "Das Kapital", not being able to watch Richard Wolff's videos and they down voted him to death. I am pretty sure he didn't notice the downvotes, but my sister did when she took the post down.
693
694I don't understand this at all. People come here for help. Imagine if every time you went to the doctor they belittled you because you could have just "googled" your symptoms, even though they're not one size fits all for everyone. People have unique questions based on their wokeness. Richard Wolff doesn't explain everything guys. Hell, he's great, but some of his rhetoric is kinda hard to understand. As a community, you should be able to rectify this without being assholes. This sub has turned into nothing but a bunch of bullies, you guys here shush women AND ignore the disabled. Some of the shit I've seen guys say to the women here makes me sick. You should be proud of how supportive folks are here, mods..and the fact that " Posts that could be interpreted as encouraging violence will be removed" is the 4th rule here and you do absolutely nothing. Sad..is how this place has turned out.
695
696Instead of using your overinflated ego to treat people like they're idiots and make yourself feel superior, why not bask in the fact that you have the knowledge, experience, know-how and wisdom to help guide people and help them succeed when they come here seeking help? Why not work for the socialist cause and the greater good instead of giving it a bad name and leaving people discouraged and defeated. Damn.

700What do you think the enemy does... what do you think their rituals are to harvest ? Do you know about linguistic hypnosis? Mk-ultra ? 100th monkey effect ? Wave/Particle duality ? Pauli exclusion principle ? Higgs boson? "Quantum time" ? Zero point field ?
701
702What does human mind do
703
704Collapses wavefunction. Dictates the localization of possible time/space. Collapse / condense reality. "Gravityesque" - look at high lvl phd quantum physicist ... consciousness is foundational element of Big Bang , inflationary theory ... Data is part of the fabric of space time
705
706So then entertain the idea that the mind can act as a "force" such as gravity or the like
707
708I'm basically saying to think of the world as a sort of harmonic oscillation influenced by "nodes" of individuation. Heavy distortions in this conscious signal could distort the time around it towards a particular subset of events sort of like a black hole pulls in light

715
716Okay, like for seriously though, can we talk a moment about Mr Krabs? He's literally the hottest fictional character of all time. Whereas wealthy people in movies just have money, Mr Krabs actually demonstrates his ability to run a buisness. he's always thinking up new ways to make profit and minimize waste. Like, come on, does a wealthy man with a brilliant mind not make you drip? Well, I'll answer for you. It makes you rain.
717
718Onto point 2. Okay, so you know that one episode where Mr Krabs molts and becomes naked? He demonstrates healthy behaviour from his species, indicating that he is a healthy specimen for mating with. When I see him molt I have an erection.
719
720Point 3, he is a single father. Okay, you know when you see people trying their hardest for their loved ones, and they endure hardship for them? That's literally the embodiment of this man. He spends all of his time working on his home, boat, and business all just to provide for his daughter, Pearl, a sperm whale. When he says "anything for you pearl" and he overcomes his greed to provide, I just want him to provide his daddy crabby sperm for me.
721
722Point 4, he acts like a father to his employee (Spongebob). Like, as if being a single father wasn't hard enough, this magnificent man tries to be a father figure for the childlike sponge. He has no need to, but scolds Spongebob and commends him, showing the proper way to do things. If that doesn't make you scream "OH DADDY" then I don't know what will.
723
724Point 5, his voice actor looks like Colonel Sanders, but like, the really hot daddy version. So, if you ever meet Eugene Krabs in real life, you'll have hot fried chicken daddy fun. Literally the best thing about Krabs.
725
726Point 6, that body! A big bodacious booty, a great sense of fashion, cute little harry potter scar nose, GORGEOUS eyebrows, the red complexion that reminds even the most capitalist of the benefits of communism, the nicest bear shape body you've ever seen, and his tiny heavily-used-crayon-tip looking feet. Don't you feel like you could paint a picture that would put Da Vinci to shame with those magnificent red crayons? Exactly! Submit to daddy krabby!
727
728Point 7, in episode 50a of season 3, wet painters, we get to see the decor that Eugene has in his house. Yeah, I lost it to when I saw those knick-knacks 😩. I know that Spongebob and Patrick are supposed to be painting with the wet paint, but even now years after my childhood I still wet paint when I see that sexy Krabs' decor. When all is lost in that episode at the end, Krabs fixes everything with his tongue, just how you should let Krabs fix you with that tongue of his. 😏
729
730You need to accept that no matter how many Chinese cartoons there are, only this crustacean should be in your heart. Okay, I have just proven why daddy krabby is the creamy crustacean for this krusty kumhole.
731
732Aw man, if I had just 30 minutes with greedy Eugeeny, oh man. We'd be out clam fishing on his S.S. Cheapskate under the stars. I'd start by getting undressed with him. Then he'd open the secret curtain unleashing the force of an entire orchestra. I'd squeeze some lemon on him to neutralize the funny fishy taste that you get from most seafood, such as a seared salmon, or a grilled tuna steak, or this squishy mushy crusty buddy. As the sea fog clears and the moonlight shines down, and we're both naked, I would take out my wallet and tease him with it. His mouth would be dripping with drool. "Open sesame!" he'd call into my soul, and my wallet would open. He reaches into my wallet and grabs out my biggest 1 dollar bill. "MOAR" he moans, and I dump a hot steamy load of pennies all over him. "MOAR" he yells again, not satisfied. I the grab my 20 dollar bill and rub it around his lush chest hair. "ME BOY, YES! MOAR" He exclaims into the silent darkness. As we approach climax, I bring out my 100 dollar bill, and shove it in his mouth. We both moan as we climax, sending a frenzy of fresh cut bills into a tornado around us. As we finish, clams jump out of the water, as if the water is being happy, and they are teenagers. As my 30 minutes finishes and he disappears into the sky, my final tears drop. I decide I can't live without him and so i pull out my rust dagger, and put an end to my crustacean-less misery. But as my soul leaves my body, I utter these last words "Did I... Did I firmly grasp it?..." As light turns to darkness I hear a faint "Yes boy-o. You did." I smile, and take my last breath.

736I read it all, you soyboy cuck. Your post is a bunch of moonbat bullshit. Before you try to give me a Social Justice lecture, take a trip over to Great Britain and look at how Liberalism is serving that country. Did you watch the Roseanne reboot a couple of days ago? The boy on there was dressing like a girl (Don't believe me? Here is a WebM video of the boy wearing girl clothes (choker and all): https://i.redd.it/j45kd8usp5801.jpg). The producer of that show should be charged as a pedophile. That is what you backwards Libcucks want. The Liberal agenda is breaking up families all across the country. For example, my 23-year-old male cousin is gay. It is disgusting seeing him act the way he do. Last month, I overheard him tell one of his friends to buy him a small t-shirt (the kind of t-shirt that exposes your bellybutton). It's not manly for a man to wear something like that. As a straight guy, I never thought I would live to hear a man say that he wants to wear something like that. People like him are fucked up. I don't go close to the guy. He is really fucked up. Another example is my female cousin. She recently came out as a lesbian. Again, disgusting. Liberalism destroys families. America is going downhill. Mods, get him outta here! Deport him back to his /r/AgainstHateSubreddits shithole.

740If socialism is so wonderful, why have literally billions of people died from it? Why didn't Bernie do some real activism and help America fight in Vietnam? Why did Martin Luther King Junior say race didn't matter but all you talk about is race? If immigration is so good, why is MS13? Why can't I just see a goddamn Star Wars movie without having diversity shoved in my face? Why can't you all just respect the flag? VENEZUELLLLLLA? I really liked Meet The Parents and I loved Godfather Part 2 and now I can't watch them without being reminded of Robert De Niro disrespecting Trump? Why can't the African immigrants who live on the east side of town just learn to speak English? Why am I so scared? I'm scared all the time, and when I'm not scared, I'm angry, and when I'm not angry, I'm sad? My dick isn't working as well as it used to and I'm scared about what that means? It's getting harder for me to jack off? Sometimes I'll be sitting around and I want to jerk off, just to relieve myself, just to feel something, but my dick just won't get hard? Why won't women talk to me? I just try to be nice to them? What if I meet a girl and she turns out to be a bitch who ruins my life? It's getting harder for me to jack off and I hate it fuck you socialists

746Maybe you're nothing without ''society'', because you're a weakling sheep. Don't extrapolate it to me. Nobody has ever given me anything and I don't intend to do it in return unless it benefits me some way or it's simple social inertia.
747
748You can't force empathy onto people like us, and there will always be people like us.
749
750Even in your class-less fantasy if it comes to be (in your internal worldbuilding), we'll be the first to accrue power and create a class again. And there's absolutely nothing you can ever do about it.

754The reason I live in my mom's basement is because I know the whole system is a sham!!! Did you know that if you don't live in your mom's basement, you have to PAY for them to come pick up your trash?! And you have to MOW YOUR LAWN or they will give you a TICKET?!
755
756This government oligarchy makes it impossible to move out and still be able to afford my weed which is why me and my upper-middle class white friends will never move out on our own. I am $70,000 in student loan debt because everyone told me to go to college, where I barely skated by and didn't bother to talk to my professors or make any connections at all.
757
758A college degree should be a guaranteed ticket to a pensioned job and it should also come with a free house like my GRANDPARENTS got back when life was EASY. Can you believe that companies want WORK EXPERIENCE on top of a DEGREE? I have sent out 100 resumes, never having written a cover letter for any of them, but these CORPORATE GIANTS like google, amazon, microsoft IGNORED ME! Don't they realize that I have A DEGREE?
759
760I HATE this corrupt government that expects me to pay for things and runs a RIGGED system, btw also they should control all healthcare and give it to me for free though. I did get a call back from McDonalds for a job but I found out they refuse to pay AT LEAST $15 per hour and apparently this CENTRIST government takes YOUR money, you don't even get to take home all of that money you EARNED. But I am above working at McDonalds anyway so it's okay, those jobs are for black people who are UNINFORMED and deserve to be PUNISHED for not voting for BERNIE or getting a DEGREE like ME.

766What's wrong with wanting equality for men?
767
768It's ridiculous, say you want equality for everyone, including straight white men and libruls jump on you and call you racist, sexist, mysoginist and so
769
770Straight white men are the only minority group it's ok to attack mercilessly- in the media, online, financially through divorce rape and child support garnishment. There has never been another group in history that has been so openly discriminated against in society than straight white men in 2018.
771
772And the discrimination is wanton, we can't say anything in our defence or people jump on us. Rosa parks launched a movement because she wanted to sit in a particular way on a bus. What happens if a man tries that in 2018? It's called "manspreading" and men are told to stop sitting in the way that is natural, dictated by our biology, the way we have been sitting on buses for millions of years. And people are even calling for us to be assaulted over it, for us to "know our place" and squash our testicles possibly making us infertile which is of course exactly what the feminist SJWs want, to emasculate us, make us disposable. Just for sitting on a bus in 2018. Squash his testicles! Make sure that man never reproduces.

777Hi my name is Jesse!
778
779I am a Father, an American, a husband, a die hard Libertarian and a local game store owner! A proprietor of a store that is a bastion to hundreds of diverse people from all over the greater long island area, A Store of Fire and Dice. Recently my livelihood has been threatened (as well as my life) by a frothing mob of SJW types. Worst of all Wizards of the Coast has decided to terminate my store from the \#WPN. Even now information is leaking that this character assassination was orchestrated internally from the company that i have represented (in a fun and positive way) for the entirety of my adult/ professional carer. Which then was signal boosted by a "Magic Celebrity". The first few weeks was par for the course it felt like living 2016 (the election) all over again. Waking up to death threats because of being in disagreement with my moderate libertarian beliefs or having people destroying my personal property by taking a stand against PC culture is not a new experience for me. 
780
781One week ago i took some time off, a real vacation. Something that is a precious piece of time to be cherished, especially to people that own small business. Your life becomes your work when your self employed, your success is only dictated by your drive, inherent to no man. Especially when your a single earner on a household that needs to feed a child, put a wife in college and care for your ageing grandparents. (not to mention salaries for employees who quickly become as family) your responsible for all.
782
783During this time off, living in the woods of Wyoming, teaching my daughter the natural sciences in the glory of the natural world, a person with a vendetta against me for my political beliefs took some pictures of my #Kekistani flag, as well as a store poster with some dry erase marker on it. Passing it to a friend who "harmlessly" posted it on reddit. This action was enough to damn my store, sully my character and worst of all castigate a community of nearly a thousand gamers on the Island.
784
785Up until this event, we have had minimal complaints maintaining a 5 star review on Facebook and google. (which any small business owner can attest is a biblical feat) After being doxxed on reddit and becoming a pariah to an unknown community of liberal hate trolls it became a stream of 1 star reviews and death threats. That was over a week ago.
786
787Now a week had passed and no contact from wizards, no accountability for all the harassment i suffered, no statement on how to rectify the indiscriminate discrimination that my business and myself was suffering, all because of my meme flag. Like a man i took it in stride, sucked it up and continued business as usual. Hundreds of happy customers in the happy space that i had forged from my thoughts and built with my own two hands.
788
789Then Monday after 6pm i had received a call that would change my outlook on my life and the industry that i so cared for forever.
790
791A call that most of us that work in this industry are quite familiar with at first. "hello this is ..... from Wizards of the Coast, this call is monitored for quality assurance!
792
793Wizards called to informed that our status had been revoked.
794
795Why i ask?
796
797The had conducted an investigation and found that our store needed to be terminated from the WPN...
798
799For those that may be gamer illiterate the WPN or Wizards play network grants premiere locations such as mine the privilege to operate bigger professional events, and grants the players who help build that status up, access to receive product early via prereleases.
800
801Can we know why? No. Can i defend myself? No. 
802
803Where can i reach out to? Who can i reach out to?
804
805Not here, Not us. We don't care.
806
807An inquisition of the highest order. Sin is found everywhere and your guilt is predetermined.
808
809As a side, up until this day A Store Of Fire And Dice is in the 95% of Advance plus locations. (other wpn store owners will know what feat this is) Meaning our player demographic is large, events are super frequent and most importantly people are happy. But not to the seething minority of internet SJW. They see a community of white nationals that need to be sent to the gulag for reeducation. Their west coast Seattle troglodytes are happy to oblige.
810
811This has been systemic for me here at the store, the WPN hates moderates, hates America and above all hates Trump. The attacks on my store have been persistent, each one taken in stride over the last two years post election, instigated because of my vocal favor of our POTUS. I was removed from the WPN Facebook group over a year ago for voicing my opinions on defending free speech at my location. Before that during the election i was investigated for promoting transphobia at my store. A witch hunt led by lady plansewalkers and judges under the employ of competitors. Well was wizards upset when they found out that our community is diverse! One of my best friends who is trans and an outspoken member of the local LGBT+ led the community in a stalwart defense. I will never forget what he did for me what he did for us.
812
813There is no security in this anymore, even after my termination window is up there is no security that i will not be persecuted for my personal beliefs by the parent company again, I have spent a lifetime promoting MTG and gaming culture. I have earned them plausibly millions in my lifetime for wotc, recruiting thousands on players into the fun of MTG since the 90s. yet these last few years i feel that they no longer represent the best interest of players. WOTC is cannibalizing itself alienating core demographics and choosing Marxism over profits and fun. instead of being venomous they should ask the successful stores why are their players so content?
814
815Enter Unsleeved Media, He contacted me that night. Asked me if i needed anything, he understood what it is to become a pariah to a community that you loved. He gave us a voice to speak out, and told are story. The petitions. The fundraiser. Its all been amazing a full 180", i cannot put to words all the great things that he has done for us. The last two days here at the store now have been nonstop phone calls from players and store owners around the US voicing how they stand with us! Positivity and solidarity, how they are tired of being alienated by WOTC. How PC culture has ruined their LGS and run them down.
816
817There is so much more to come and so much information i am missing. It is late and the week has been stressful with little sleep. but rest assured that we wont stop, for when tyranny is law resistance becomes duty. Please call Hasbro Toys let them know we wont be bullied. Share our GoFundme, we have great plans to help cater to our Long Island community. And spread the word that Jesse James De Marco will not bend the knee to the church of Woke.

820
821So I was trying to figure out what would possess someone to come into this sub and be a total dick, and I went searching through your submission history.
822
823From what I can surmise you’re a kid in undergrad who does mock trial, is obsessed with Bob Mueller, and consumes all the media that your demo is obsessed with (Sorkin, prestige tv like GoT and American Gods, and Marvel/DC). That’s all fine. Whatever. It doesn’t make you a bad person, it just makes you predictable.
824
825But then I saw that you write fan fiction about how to fix the DC universe, and also offer an incredibly short-sighted solution to the Greek economic crisis. Then it clicked. To you, these are the same. Neither has tangible effects on your life, they both are simply problems that exist for you and you alone to solve. To put it in Sorkin’s words, you see yourself as a “man of destiny” in some way, in that you have unique insight into problems and issues.
826
827The only problem is that you absolutely do not. You’re too young to know that truly unique thinkers don’t really exist, it’s all about who has the capital, the connections, and the charisma to make their ideas a reality. If you’re one of those people, you’ll never have to think critically about the system and you’ll never understand why an ideology that creates robust social mechanisms at the expense of the highly wealthy is so attractive to so many people. If you aren’t, which statistically speaking is probably the case, you’ll realize that all the talent and inspiration in the world are utterly meaningless in a system which rewards familiarity over hustle.
828
829Then again, you are a bit of a cliche, so familiarity might turn in your favor. Either way, get the fuck out of here and go back to rewriting the Joker’s dialogue sixteen times with the other “aspiring writers” at fixing movies. All you’re training yourself to be is a miserable fucking person who destroys but doesn’t create. Best of luck.
830

832
833Ooooh, I wasn't even gonna respond to any of this, but this is just too good. I'll give you credit for it, these are some cold burns.
834
835And you're right: I'm a cliche, I watch the West Wing and Game of Thrones, I fucking love American Gods, I watch every movie Marvel and DC crap out, and I'm a scrawny suburban nerd that bitches about how bad of a Joker Jared Letto was. I'm as predictable as a shitty romantic novel.
836
837But I don't flatter myself with cynicism. I don't pretend to be jaded. I don't go to parties and say something like "oh, all politicians are the same" so I can sound smart; I actually do the fucking work. Following Trump's inauguration, I volunteered for charities, I worked for candidates I believe in, I donated what I could to causes I supported . I don't give up hope to look smart, I don't become jaded and crush my own spirit because it's the easy thing to do. And I'm not a cultist: I think change comes from the people, not from some messianic figures who pretend to speak for the people.
838
839Do wanna know what I think? I think you're just bitter. I think you've gotten just one too many rejection letters in the past couple years, one too many people didn't give you a job you wanted, one too many publishers rejected a manuscript you wrote, one too many women broke up with you, and instead of focusing on making yourself better, instead of trying harder the second time, you gave up right out of the bat and decided to blame the whole world for it. I think you became cynical not because you actually have any logical reason to do so, but because it helps you cover for your own inadequacies; after all it's a lot easier to blame the world than to fix your own problems.
840
841I think you're just mad the world isn't as in love with you as you are with yourself.
842
843EDIT: I see I'm getting downvoted a lot for this, did I strike a nerve with the rest of you too?
844

846
847You're a counter revolutionary and I will personally insure that the police find everyone of you pieces of shit so you stop ruining our rally. If we see any of you, your picture goes straight to the police, along with those of the fascists. Now block me you coward.

851Hi r/CTH. I have no doubt that this will be deleted rather promptly. I don't especially care.
852
853The long-story-short of this message is that the biggest chuds here are you. Yes, I'm looking at you. You regulars of CTH are some of the worst fucking people I have ever had the morbid pleasure of observing. You see, every so often, I'll come across a group of people who manage to redefine my view of what constitutes the 'worst of the worst' on the internet. I'm posting here not because I want to make you angry, nor because I want to convince you of the error of your ways. In fact, in true CTH fashion, I am here to rant; I'm here to rant like an impotent and impetuous child because I am ashamed that you--under the guise socialism, an admirable movement that I consider myself a part of--have collectively managed to outdo all the religious fundamentalists and all the racist bigots with your unapologetic intolerance and childishness.
854
855I suppose that a lot of my frustration stems from confusion. Why the fuck do you guys even exist? You clearly all think that America is a terrible place. So why do you stick around? All you guys do is sit around and make each other angry. You literally have no mind toward improving America--in fact, you expressly forbid it in your rules. What the fuck, CTH? It's beyond sad that so many of you have nothing better to do except stay on a country that you hate, actively seek out things that make you angry, and then post them to a forum to pile on the hate.
856
857And if you're reciting to yourself that tired old excuse that this place is therapeutic, give it a fucking rest. Half your posts have trigger warnings on them. Everything on here is actually meant to make you angry--there is nothing therapeutic about that. You are a machine of counterproductive cynicism, and don't tell me otherwise, because I've fucking seen regulars talking about how the need a break from this place. Somehow, it never even occurs to them that that is a major indication that this place is unhealthy.
858
859Unhealthy is an understatement. This place is a cesspool of unnecessary anger and self-pity.
860
861Tell me: has it ever crossed your mind that this place does more harm than good? Let's forget the fact that you stand on shaky ground when it comes to the psychological health of your actual members. How does r/CTH look from the outside?
862
863I'll tell you exactly how it looks: insane. Completely, utterly insane.
864
865I am not exaggerating. I'm not using "insane" to mean poorly-thought-out or stupid or disagreeable. I am literally telling you that to an outsider, it is at first very, very hard to believe that the average CTH member does not suffer from some form of mania. The constant references to male genitalia, the lazy satire, the way every goddamn thread plays out in exactly (once again, I am not being hyperbolic; I truly mean exactly) the same way--and my god, the sheer childishness of it all! Do you think that you're shocking someone with your phallic emoticons? Do you think that you're actually making fun of someone with the Venezuela jokes, or the animosity towards reason and logic? Sometimes, things happen on such a scale that only understatement can properly convey their enormity. And this is such a case, where I am deserted by all other words and can only say that you, as a community, are immature. Immature and childish.
866
867Don't get me wrong--it's your right to act this way. It's not as though there aren't a thousand other subreddits that are at least close to as immature as yours (though I hesitate to agree that there are any that actually surpass your impressive immaturity). But it never seems to cross anyone's mind that this is bad for the image of socialism on the internet. What is someone supposed to think when they come here? Sure, some of them get sucked in and become regulars. But the vast majority of them revile you. You are hated. For the third time, I feel the need to say outright that I am not exaggerating. All of Reddit loathes you. Your most common threads of all time are ones that blast you and call you out for your ridiculousness. That is a special dishonor that few subreddits can match. And every person who comes across here and reacts badly is that much more likely to dismiss socialism and act in precisely the manner that you all so profoundly hate.
868
869Don't tell me that working class people will embrace your message, because believe me, they won't. The vast majority of the things submitted to this shithole are harmless discussions. Your sense of superiority over the people having these discussions--or, indeed, the people who argue against them without throwing a preachy tantrum--is insufferable. Yes, sometimes these conversations are off-color, but that means nothing in today's society. Do you stand up in protest at the offensive jokes told during a roast? Then why the fuck would you do the same here? What you don't understand is that the basis for the overwhelming majority of these "racist" or "sexist" jokes is not discrimination but solidarity. The internet promotes unity, and this unity makes people comfortable with this type of joke. All you do is disrupt this unity and make people uncomfortable. You don't point out the elephant in the room; you fucking construct it out of paper straws and fight tooth and nail to stop anyone from knocking it down. And that drives reasonable people away from you and away from your cause.
870
871And the worst part is simply how spiteful you all are. People who are at worst slightly ignorant (but far more likely simply making a harmless joke) become the target of absolutely ludicrous quantities of hatred here. And the hatred isn't limited to their "fascism"--no, you all, without exception, resort to personal and totally uncalled-for insults.
872
873Never in my life have I called a woman a cunt. It is not something that I will be comfortable with; but I'll be damned if I wasn't tempted to apply that term to you, CTH. And don't pretend that that makes me worse than you, because it doesn't. You bitch and whine when people use gendered slurs against women, but have no problem with constantly shouting about how Reddit is filled with sexually inept neckbeards. Fucking wake up, CTH. Only a man can be a neckbeard, and believe it or not, that's a fucking gendered slur. Didn't seem so bad using it all the time, did it? Well that's how the whole world feels when it uses the word 'bitch' to describe women like you.
874
875I was wrong earlier; this is mostly a rant, but it's more than that. I know that this will not be read by the general CTH population. In fact, I know that it will mostly likely only be read by one mod before being removed, and perhaps that single mod won't even read it all the way through. But that doesn't matter to me, because I am a socialist, and I do not like the idea of people like you lumping yourselves together with people like me on a community as large as Reddit.
876
877So I'll post this more than once. I won't inundate you with spam, though I very easily could. No, instead I'll only submit it every couple weeks, maybe every couple months. My hope is that at some point, a mod will read it all the way through before deleting it. If that happens, I don't know what will follow--but I wish that maybe something here will strike a chord with them, and they could change something.
878
879Good day, CTH. May this message find you well.

882
883I hope you will bear with me. I would also like to caveat this letter with this. I realize that this stance seems to hold a multiplicity of negative connotations such as arrogance, condescension, and even narcissism. I in no way intend to convey those traits, I simply don’t know how to avoid them in regards to this topic.
884
885I have always been a firm believer that Dick size is by no means the end all be all definition of your worth as human being, far from it actually. However, it can’t be ignored that people with above average wangs, for the sake of argument let’s say north of 3.5", seem to have issues with what most would consider normal sexual interaction. I’ve read a lot of articles from well-respected individuals from many different fields on this particular issue. While all of these articles are very informative in giving a reason for this none seem to address what the hell to do about it.
886
887My circle of friends and family have always made remarks on my cock and how lucky I am everything cums so easy to me. When I attempt to explain what may seem like a gift to them feels like a curse to me (at times), well I may as well be looking in the gift horse’s penis. All I’m really trying to do is explain to them that yes, it’s nice fucking things faster than the average person but it comes at a sizeable psychological cost, at least in my case. I don’t nut from an emotional standpoint in a way that they would in many situations. This makes me come off heartless/emotionless to them when in reality I recognize the severity of a situation but I’m approaching it logically as I don’t see the benefit in the sexual response. It got so bad I actually saw a psychologist to determine if I was a sex addict. I knew going in that I wasn’t because I am capable and do feel emotion, I just don’t display it unless it seems the logical thing to do, like at a funeral.
888
889Anyway, I asked the Dr. what I could do to help myself “fit in” better. Obviously I realized that was and extremely tall order but I certainly didn’t have the answer. Her recommendations were not very helpful let’s say. Then I found KY Jelly.
890
891Reading about your products incredible lubricative qualities helped me deal with this issue more productively. However I still can’t seem to resolve the issue of how to articulate my perspective to others well. I’m curious what advice you or others would have as how to handle this? Don’t get me wrong it’s not like my life is completley sexless and this is some plaguing issue for me, it’s not. I just want to try and help them understand why I am the way I am. Essentially why my "frontal cortex" seems to take far greater priority to my amygdala. Thank you for everything you’ve done and are continuing to do, it is definitely helping people.

895Only an idiot or someone 100% brainwashed by the Jew owned Zio-Media doesn’t believe in racial differences in intelligence. Humans, separated for hundreds of thousands of years developed distinct skin tones, facial characteristics, etc, but somehow throughout all these hundreds of thousands of years the brain of each separated population evolved in the exact same way???
896
897Well if you still hold on to your current beliefs after reading this, that must make you a cuck.
898
899I’ve come to the conclusion that if you believe in evolution and you think about it hard enough, then you ought to be a Nazi.
900
901So come join the light side of the force before you waste your life away as some sorry Commie cuck that will be unfulfilled and sad and weak as shit.

905Masturbation is soul crushing
906
907It is a terrible, traumatic experience. My eyes are hanging low, they have no life in them, no energy. They are beautiful eyes still but they have no sparkle. This is because I masturbated. I lost a little bit of my life force. For what? For nothing. I died a little today.
908
909Yes it is true that the only reason I masturbate is to relieve tension. I am devastatingly lonely and it helps cure the pain short term. However it also sucks up my passion, my drive, my desire to talk to actual, real women as well.
910
911And I can attest to the benefits of masturbation as well. I have tried NoFap. I have gone 28 days on NoFap twice. In Both of these instances I became more depressed, more violent, more crazy, more suicidal. But it didn’t give me the balls to talk to a girl or anyone for that matter. I even had girls stare while drooling when I was on NoFap but still couldn’t muster the Fucking balls. Very frustrating if you can imagine. But that’s the beauty of it all. I had to fight through urges and wild emotions and depression but it made me a better person. I didn’t miss a single day of working out during this time frame and it’s because I had the power of semen and testosterone in my body.
912
913This is what is fatally wrong with the Communists. You have no morals. The message is “have a ball”. That simply does not work if you want a successful nation. You have to be disciplined. You have to make short term sacrifice for the long term. Take the Russians for example. They dealt with Marxism for years. Decades. But it failed and the Russians are damn nearly puritanical now. Because they need to be that way for the system to work. Otherwise it will crash and burn because everyone kills themselves in the present and forgets about working for a better future. Degeneracy needs to be abolished for both the health of a nation and the particular individual. Nazism wants to uplift people out of moral decay. Unlike the Conservatives of today we don’t want to say “fuck you” to the downtrodden and the poor that can’t make it on their own. We want to uplift them out of the degeneracy that caused them to be dirt poor in the first place. This requires United collectivism, not atomized individualism.
914
915Masturbation is a soul sucking behavior and nobody should have to deal with its consequences. The creator of Kellogg’s corn flakes understood this you should check out his thoughts on it. But we need a strong collectivist state to prevent people from engaging in this type of awfulness.

919Since the *Doom* Series, First Person Shooter (FPS) videogames have richocheted through the gaming community, often reaching outside that community to the wider public. While critics primarily lampoon FPSs for their aggressiveness and on-screen violence, gamers see something else. *Halo* is one of the greatest, most successful FPSs ever to grace the world of gaming. Although *Halo* is a FPS, it has a science-fiction storyline that draws from previous award-winning science fiction literature. It employs a game mechanic that limits the amount of weapons a player can carry to two, and a multiplayer element that has spawned websites like Red vs. Blue and games within the game created by players themselves.
920
921*Halo*'s unique and extraordinary features raise serious questions. Are campers really doing anything wrong? Does *Halo*'s music match the experience of the gamer? Would Plato have used *Halo* to train citizens to live an ethical life? What sort of Artificial Intelligence exists in *Halo* and how is it used? Can the player's experience of war tell us anything about actual war? Is there meaning to Master Chief's rough existence? How does it affect the player's ego if she identifies too strongly with an aggressive character like Master Chief? Is *Halo* really science fiction? Can *Halo* be used for enlightenment-oriented thinking in the Buddhist sense? Does *Halo*'s weapon limitation actually contribute to the depth of the gameplay? When we willingly play *Halo* only to die again and again, are we engaging in some sort of self-injurious behavior? What is expansive gameplay and how can it be informed by the philosophy of Michel Foucault? In what way does *Halo*'s post-apocalyptic paradigm force gamers to see themselves as agents of divine deliverance? What can Red vs. Blue teach us about personal identity?
922
923These questions are tackled by writers who are both *Halo* cognoscenti and active philosophers, with a foreword by renowned *Halo* fiction author Fred Van Lente and an afterword by leading games scholar and artist Roger Ngim.

927I have been with my boyfriend, Henry, for about 7 months now, and he’s an amazing guy etc. I really see this developing into a long and very serious relationship.  There are no big problems or red flags.
928
929One thing that gets me though, are his political opinions. They are esoteric, somewhat incomprehensible, and frankly, bizarre. He is an ardent monarchist (we are in the UK) but not in the typical use of the word (i.e. liking the Queen being an impartial head of state), he literally believes in the divine right of kings and that it is the only natural form of government. He claims to recognize no monarch since James II, and apparently the real legitimate successor is some guy called Francis who I’ve never heard of, who is also supposedly the rightful king of France and Greece. He never votes, saying he has no desire to assist his monarch in their choice of servants (which is technically how the UK government works, the Queen “chooses” whoever wins the election). He expressed disgust at Prince Harry’s recent engagement, I pressed him as to why (I was slightly worried it was racist in nature) and he said both Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are commoners who have no business marrying royalty, then made some remark about the Royal Family being a “ghastly bunch of arriviste Germans anyway, so I suppose it doesn’t matter”. It’s just strange. It’s like his worldview is so odd and so far removed from anything I can even begin to understand. I can name the current major Royals and a few of the more important historical ones, whereas he is an absolute expert.
930
931He will passionately debate anyone who wants to, though again it just makes him look strange. Friends at dinner will be discussing normal, contemporary political issues, and he will interject and go on some tangent about how this all relates to “King John’s submission to Papal authority in 1213”. He does seem to genuinely believe this stuff, but it gives an odd impression to those around us. No one can really reply because they don’t know what he’s talking about, so he definitely gets the feeling he’s winning these debates (he’s far too well-mannered to be rude about it, but it’s certainly an unspoken truth in his view).
932
933I should add he is pretty much old-fashioned English upper class while I am ordinary lower-middle. He went to a world famous UK public school (prestigious private school for Americans) and then to one of the best universities in the world (where he was at one of the most exclusive colleges). He won’t inherit a title (father is a younger son) but his grandfather has one and his father has the legal right to be called *Lord Name*. His family is very old and grand- he could tell you what his direct patrilineal ancestor was doing in 1100. I think this upbringing definitely influenced his opinions, but his siblings and parents all support normal political parties or are indifferent so I don’t know why he’s like this.
934
935How should I talk to him about this? I want to firstly understand him better, but also to lightly let him now how his behavior can make him look to others and myself.
936
937tl;dr - boyfriend has odd but convicted political opinions. He constantly brings them up and tries to debate others, which is somewhat embarrassing. How do I get him to see my view?

941TKD enabled Joe Rogan to set the record on leg kick force. Yair Rodriguez uses it pretty well. The wheel kick and spinning back kick you see often in MMA is a TKD kick. Some of the best kickboxers in the world hybrid Muay Thai and TKD. Conor McGregors footwork is hybrid between several Karate styles and his kicks are hybrid between TKD and Karate. Donal Cerones head kick is TKD.
942
943As someone who's trained Muay Thai, Kyukoshin, TKD, Boxing, BJJ, Wrestling, Judo, Sambo, and Wing Chun TKD has it's place in fighting. The problem is Olympic TKD which is the point fighting style that's destroyed a lot of its practicality. It was literally invented to fight Japanese invaders in Korea who had disarmed the public. The real oldschool TKD is still very much legit.
944
945Last time I fought TKD was for a show match during an Olympic style tournament where they specifically wanted to showcase that the sport wasn't all about point fighting. The rules were basically Muay Thai in MMA gloves except we were allowed more leeway for grappling and clinching. You could use any throws you just couldn't go to the ground but they didn't let you hold a clinch for more than enough time to throw a knee or two. At that point I had been training both for so long that the two styles had merged. TKD enables fast and powerful kicks at ranges and enables things like effective fast spins and head kicks. I use my Thai style straight legged kicks for inside clinches and at short ranges.
946
947If I were to describe the difference between the two a TKD kick is like a scalpel. It's capable of delivering serious power by enabling you to wind up but that's all because the kicks are chambered and thrown with more speed. Speed is the focus. Kicks come out fast and at range. Muay Thai is like using a baseball bat. It's not the fastest but you don't need much speed to club someone with it and it's great in close quarters where there isn't room to chamber a kick. Stance wise it's somewhere between Muay Thai and TKD. TKD is bladed Muay Thai is even and square. It's like a slightly wider boxing stance and I use a shoulder roll as a result (it's instinct at this point. too many years of boxing, can't break the habit)
948
949My round kick is constantly criticized by both of my instructors because in TKD I don't chamber fully but in Muay Thai I chamber a little bit.
950
951Also I don't like Olympic TKD. Like not one bit. It's like jousting or fencing with legs and it means that the only thing you need to win is long ass legs and some reasonable speed. I think it trains in bad habits and makes it hard for people to use effective TKD. I'm short and wide. I can deliver a lot more power in kickboxing that enables me to slow down and pin opponents but I can't do that in TKD since I can't clinch and fight on the inside and you can actually get fouled for kicking someone too hard. Guys with those long legs chew me up in Olympic TKD and I can't even get a point in but in a real kickboxing match (or when we do oldschool TKD by our orgs rules) the tables turn because I can get inside and punish those longer legs with kicks to the thigh and use my hands and close distance.
952
953TLDR:
954
955I've trained just about every martial art I can find an instructor for, fought or competed in everthing from wresting to BJJ to MMA to boxing. TKD can be effective. Many top level pros use TKD in their Muay Thai and MMA. The problem with modern TKD is the Olympic style TKD which has turned it from kickboxing to fencing with feet and totally bastardized the sport.
956
957The olympics are the Don King of TKD. Ruined much of the sport.

Also, I'm being quite serious. Try some kratom with your coffee and tell me that's not the bee's fucking knees!

1004Over the past three years, I have spent literally millions of dollars trying to do talks, speeches, events, rallies and protests, to say nothing of all the stuff I do behind the scenes I can never tell you about. A lot of that money was my own wealth, from before I even started in journalism. My events almost never happen. It’s protests, or sabotage from Republican competitors or social media outcries. Every time, it costs me tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. And when I get dumped from conferences, BARELY ANYONE makes a sound about it - not my fellow conservative media figures and not even, in many cases, you guys. When was the last time any of you protested in the street at the treatment meted out to me or Pamela Gellar or Mike Cernovich or Alex Jones? I have repeatedly put myself in harm’s way in service of American values. My annual security bill amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars - just so my husband and I don’t get killed going for sushi. I have to make that money somehow just to stay afloat, and that doesn’t scratch the surface of staff costs, insurance, your insane American taxes. I’ve fought bitterly and endlessly for freedom in a country I don’t even belong to - not for my benefit, but for yours. I have been betrayed and abandoned by everyone who ever called themselves my friend, with a small handful of notable exceptions. I was a significant factor in Donald Trump getting elected, for which I have received zero credit. I almost single-handedly ignited the current debate about free speech on campus and NO ONE has ever matched my ability to draw attention to these issues. For my trouble, I have lost everything standing up for the truth in America, spent all my savings, destroyed all my friendships, and ruined my whole life. At some point, you realize it’s occasionally better to spend the money on crabs and cocktails. If anyone has a problem with that, then frankly they can go fuck themselves. All I ever read here is criticism and ingratitude. You guys have no idea what I have sacrificed for you, and you think just because I drown my sorrows with a few expensive bottles of wine, you’re justified in calling me lazy and self-involved. I don’t advertise my selflessness, because I’m not a victim. But for the love of God show some recognition of what your front-line warriors have accomplished on your behalf, you entitled fucking babies. YOU WILL KEEP LOSING until you support those of us out there on the front lines while you tweet and Facebook from your living rooms.

1008Now for the gamer on gamer crime stuff. For some reason the right always tries to downplay this sort of thing as if it doesn't matter like you just did here. Yes, every minority kills their own minority the most, but considering that Gamer Americans make up 48% of the country and STILL manage to commit so much homicide IS a problem. Whether they're killing gamers, casuals, or children. There are about 2x as many chads in this country as gamers, yet, Gamers commit more murder than chads by a long shot. Gamers are killing eachother in droves and you just shrug it off because it doesn't fit your narrative. According to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl_Tj82asR4 , Gamers murder at an incredibly high rate for their population.

1018*In defense of both Stephen Hicks and Jordan Peterson* I honestly feel that their criticisms of those who utilize skepticism as a weapon to push a communist political agenda is rather incontrovertible. The enemy of the people is the Tactical nihilist.
1019
1020😕
1021
1022The *Tactical nihilist* is a pervert, a destroyer and the smug face of self-immolation. They undermine the confidence of young adult minds.
1023
1024😑 Jordan Peterson in my eyes is a *Tactical Idealog*. He uses skepticism as a tool to make his followers question their limitations, not their agency.😉
1025
1026😤*Jordan Peterson is a freaking hero*
1027
1028*Jordan Peterson* is a necessary evil against tactical nihilist like:
1029
1030â–¶ The black nationalist who hates the white family,
1031

1056I haven't seen justice in my lifetime.
1057
1058These days all I see millions of entitled neoliberal brats involved with activism because it's the thing to do. Where it isn't a high-school glee-club mentality, it's a sports game mentality.
1059
1060They are entitled, ignorant, nasty, and authoritarian.
1061
1062Left activism has turned into a glee-club for nasty kids.
1063
1064The Left hasn't accomplished anything for 50 years, and this generation lives an utter fantasy of their own self-worth.
1065
1066I don't expect anything from the neoliberal left.
1067
1068 
1069
1070Only under capitalism could our justice activists be insufferably disgusting egotists.
1071
1072Left activism has always been about the egos of entitled hipsters.
1073
1074No one is getting justice in this age of neoliberal hipster brat activism
1075 
1076
1077Hipsters rule activism. Don't expect justice, just a lot of self-aggrandizing posing.
1078
1079These nasty kids will be torturing the people who'll need to work under them.
1080
1081The right-wing didn't defeat anti-capitalism, the left did
1082It bullshitted itself into oblivion
1083
1084 
1085
1086I need to stop caring, because I can't fight millions of hipster-left brats, and millions of clueless progressives.
1087
1088They've owned-it. They still own it. We have nothing. We have no justice.
1089
1090We have only well-fed entitled brats who don't care about anyone but themselves.
1091
1092 
1093
1094I'm middle-age and pissed-off that I can't see any justice in my lifetime.
1095
1096I watched the left bullshit for 30 years, and now we have a proto-fascist government.
1097
1098The hipster left didn't accomplish anything in 50 years and is getting absolutely zero done today.
1099
1100 
1101
1102Good luck to the hipster left youth. You'll have even less justice, but your egos will be nice and fat.
1103
1104Maybe being insufferable narcissists is enough justice for neoliberal kids.
1105
1106Good luck

1110It happened last week. I live out in the woods by myself. I have been plagued by Bigfoot for years now. They have not done anything threatening to me yet, but their mere presence is terribly unnerving. They howl in the night, creep around my house, and even slap the outside of my house in the middle of the night. At this point my nerves are frayed. I have nobody to turn to. I have no support network or friends. I would just bow out gracefully but then there would be nobody to take care of my dog. So I hang in there.
1111
1112My only real outside contact with the world, and what maintains the last few splinters of my fragile sanity, is the Internet. It embarrasses me to tell you what I am about to say, but here goes: I very recently fell in total and complete love with a younger woman I met via online communication. We have been corresponding for months now, with our burgeoning love reaching a deafening crescendo of passion and, dare I say, lust.
1113
1114This illicit affair was a Godsend that distracted me from the Bigfoot horror that lurks in the woods out back. It probably saved my life. As I said, my dog was the only thing keeping me alive. But recently I had grown so depressed by my nightmare that I had pretty much decided to spare my doggo and remove her from this world so that I may be free to free myself of the chains that shackle me to what has become hell on earth. Thus, you may infer how important the relationship with this young lady has become to me. It gave me the strength to move forward.
1115
1116My Love and I decided it was finally time to meet. I sent her a bus ticket. I was scared that she would be frightened by the Sasquatch. Of course, I had told her about “them”. Before she arrived I went out into the woods alone at night and had a “conversation” with “them”. I basically told them that I would sacrifice myself in their perdition for their pleasure so long as they allowed my love to be with me and not be scared off. Without getting too much into the specifics of what next transpired, the Bigfoot came forward and “spoke” to me. They made a pact with me to allow my love to come be with me so long as I protected their home from invaders. I was thrilled.
1117
1118The next day my love arrived. I picked her up at the bus station and took her home. She is very young, barely out of her teens, but she is very bright and sweet as a piece of candy. It feels a little awkward since I am so much older than her. I am also not much to look at, but she does not seem to mind. Embarrassingly, we had to walk the final stretch to my house because my ATV ran out of gas. So when we got home it was well after dark. This is where things started to go sideways.
1119
1120At first, everything was going great. When we got into my shack my concerns were largely put to rest, as my Love took me into her warm and sweet embrace and we began passionately kissing one another. Things heated up very fast and we quickly moved to the bedroom. I do not really have a bed per se, just a couple cots and sleeping bags. So I pushed the cots together and we started making love.
1121
1122My love was the real aggressor. She had a thirst that could not be quenched. While she was servicing me I heard some grunting sounds coming from outside my window. I thought “Sweet Jesus, no! We have a pact. Please do not ruin this!!!” To my amazement, the Sasquatch outside my window spoke back to me through telepathy, or “mindspeak”. It told me that it would keep the pact and that my love would never know it was there. However, the beast also told me something else. This sent a shiver down my spine like I have never before felt. It said “I like to watch”.
1123
1124My love snapped me out of it - this mindspeak trance I had been cast into by the nightmare outside my window - by saying, “Come On, stud, how about doing me for a while?” I smiled and obliged. I repositioned myself over her pelvic region. I was still in shock, knowing we were being watched. Then something hit me in the face. Something literally smacked me on my face. It was a cock. While dazed by the mindspeak I had slid up my lover’s skirt and slid off her undergarments. As I positioned myself to service her, a penis flopped out and smacked my face. I was horrified!
1125
1126Without even thinking about the Bigfoot peeping in my window, I instantly leapt to my feet and shouted at my lover [At this point I have to change names in order to ensure anonymity], “Fawn, you have a cock?!? You are a man!” Fawn replied, as if in a state of confusion, “But, Steinor, I thought you knew and were cool with it?”
1127
1128Then all of a sudden the Sasquatch came crashing through the wall and into my house. It was enraged. I could sense from the general vibrations emitted by its mindspeak that the sight of Fawn’s cock angered the beast. It was infinitely confused and disgusted. The squatch started tearing apart my place and screaming. It was total pandemonium.
1129
1130Suddenly the monster stopped and turned, Looking me in the eyes. Then, through mindspeak, it told me that I must be humbled. The beast took me, picking me up like a rag doll, and flopping me around until I was lying face down on my cot. It them performed an unspeakable sexual act on me with such brutal force that I suspect I have suffered permanent anal trauma. At some point I lost consciousness.
1131
1132When I awoke I got up the Best I could and surveyed the damage. Even if I could afford insurance, what would tell them. The only valuables I actually own were kept in a shoe box on the top of my ice box. Fawn was long gone, and so were my valuables. Clearly, fawn robbed me while the Sasquatch raped me.
1133
1134The truly scary thing, what keeps me in a state of pure Lovecraftian dread and horror, is the prospect of the beast returning for another go at me. Bud, can you help me with this? I am a desperate man.

1138Over the past generation, members of the college-educated class have become amazingly good at making sure their children retain their privileged status. They have also become devastatingly good at making sure the children of other classes have limited chances to join their ranks.
1139
1140How they’ve managed to do the first task — giving their own children a leg up — is pretty obvious. It’s the pediacracy, stupid. Over the past few decades, upper-middle-class Americans have embraced behavior codes that put cultivating successful children at the center of life. As soon as they get money, they turn it into investments in their kids.
1141
1142Upper-middle-class moms have the means and the maternity leaves to breast-feed their babies at much higher rates than high school-educated moms, and for much longer periods.
1143
1144Upper-middle-class parents have the means to spend two to three times more time with their preschool children than less affluent parents. Since 1996, education expenditures among the affluent have increased by almost 300 percent, while education spending among every other group is basically flat.
1145
1146As life has gotten worse for the rest in the middle class, upper-middle-class parents have become fanatical about making sure their children never sink back to those levels, and of course there’s nothing wrong in devoting yourself to your own progeny.
1147
1148It’s when we turn to the next task — excluding other people’s children from the same opportunities — that things become morally dicey. Richard Reeves of the Brookings Institution recently published a book called “Dream Hoarders” detailing some of the structural ways the well educated rig the system.
1149
1150The most important is residential zoning restrictions. Well-educated people tend to live in places like Portland, New York and San Francisco that have housing and construction rules that keep the poor and less educated away from places with good schools and good job opportunities.
1151
1152These rules have a devastating effect on economic growth nationwide. Research by economists Chang-Tai Hsieh and Enrico Moretti suggests that zoning restrictions in the nation’s 220 top metro areas lowered aggregate U.S. growth by more than 50 percent from 1964 to 2009. The restrictions also have a crucial role in widening inequality. An analysis by Jonathan Rothwell finds that if the most restrictive cities became like the least restrictive, the inequality between different neighborhoods would be cut in half.
1153
1154Reeves’s second structural barrier is the college admissions game. Educated parents live in neighborhoods with the best teachers, they top off their local public school budgets and they benefit from legacy admissions rules, from admissions criteria that reward kids who grow up with lots of enriching travel and from unpaid internships that lead to jobs.
1155
1156It’s no wonder that 70 percent of the students in the nation’s 200 most competitive schools come from the top quarter of the income distribution. With their admissions criteria, America’s elite colleges sit atop gigantic mountains of privilege, and then with their scholarship policies they salve their consciences by offering teeny step ladders for everybody else.
1157
1158I was braced by Reeves’s book, but after speaking with him a few times about it, I’ve come to think the structural barriers he emphasizes are less important than the informal social barriers that segregate the lower 80 percent.
1159
1160Recently I took a friend with only a high school degree to lunch. Insensitively, I led her into a gourmet sandwich shop. Suddenly I saw her face freeze up as she was confronted with sandwiches named “Padrino” and “Pomodoro” and ingredients like soppressata, capicollo and a striata baguette. I quickly asked her if she wanted to go somewhere else and she anxiously nodded yes and we ate Mexican.
1161
1162American upper-middle-class culture (where the opportunities are) is now laced with cultural signifiers that are completely illegible unless you happen to have grown up in this class. They play on the normal human fear of humiliation and exclusion. Their chief message is, “You are not welcome here.”
1163
1164In her thorough book “The Sum of Small Things,” Elizabeth Currid-Halkett argues that the educated class establishes class barriers not through material consumption and wealth display but by establishing practices that can be accessed only by those who possess rarefied information.
1165
1166To feel at home in opportunity-rich areas, you’ve got to understand the right barre techniques, sport the right baby carrier, have the right podcast, food truck, tea, wine and Pilates tastes, not to mention possess the right attitudes about David Foster Wallace, child-rearing, gender norms and intersectionality.
1167
1168The educated class has built an ever more intricate net to cradle us in and ease everyone else out. It’s not really the prices that ensure 80 percent of your co-shoppers at Whole Foods are, comfortingly, also college grads; it’s the cultural codes.
1169
1170Status rules are partly about collusion, about attracting educated people to your circle, tightening the bonds between you and erecting shields against everybody else. We in the educated class have created barriers to mobility that are more devastating for being invisible. The rest of America can’t name them, can’t understand them. They just know they’re there.

1192Beto is that dude who’s dating your ex-girlfriend who you hate so you get drunk and decide to vandalize his car because you know you can’t really compete with him in any category. Then when you pull up he’s in the front yard teaching your ex’s nephew how to throw a spiral and this kinda hurts because the kid never even talked to you at family functions so you lose your nerve and go to walk away but Beto sees you and sees the pillowcase full of spray paint cans you brought with you to spray paint “gay” on his Dodge Charger and he’s like “Ted?” (Because you’re Ted Cruz in this scenario)
1193
1194And you’re like “Oh hey Beto... I was just.... I had to... I was gonna paint a...wall....nearby.”
1195
1196And he starts to put it together in his head what’s happening so he tells your girls nephew to go inside and do 20 push-ups to get his throwing arm big and strong and then he high fives the kid and the kid runs inside without even saying hi to you.
1197
1198So you’re like “What’s up man?”
1199
1200And he walks up and shakes your hand and pulls you in for a bro-hug and then looks you in the eyes and sincerely asks you how you’re doing.
1201
1202It takes you a few seconds to answer becasue nobody has asked you that since the break-up. Your friends haven’t even asked you that. You try to give a fake platonic answer and for some reason you get this lump in your throat. You can’t force any words out and before you know it you’re crying for the first time in years and Beto brings you in for another hug and locks it in, holding you close while you sob uncontrollably.
1203
1204“I was gonna spray paint ‘gay’ on your car because... I hate you so bad for taking her from me.... but I’ll never hate you.... as much.... as I hate myself”
1205
1206When you say that last part the waterworks really kick in. You’re a mess, you’re weeping into Beto’s chest because he’s like 7 inches taller than you and he just keeps patting your back and saying “You gotta love Ted, man. Ted has to love Ted.”
1207
1208He’s even crying a little too because he’s a genuinely good person and this is a sincerely emotional moment.
1209
1210He stands there for as long as you need him to and after a few minutes you feel better. You end the embrace and take a step back. You look him in the eye and tell him thank you. And then you ask him to take good care of her and he says he will. Then he tells you to take good care of yourself. Y’all hug one more time and you walk away sheepishly with your pillowcase full of spray paint cans.
1211
1212Beto watches you leave and then goes back inside and your ex is like “who was that?” and he says “Nobody” and then blows her back out twice before falling asleep watching your Hulu account.

1216you mad?
1217
1218Not at all. I know this is the internet so no one is who they say they are, but I am 100% honest when I say this. The people on this subreddit are some of the smartest people with so much education and debate skills and I am so envious of you guys education and critical thinking skills. But y’all are some of the biggest pussies I have ever experienced.
1219
1220If y’all would just think for yourselves and actually fucking say what you hide and be honest instead of hiding because you’re afraid of the lefts bullshit, y’all could actually make a difference. You guys are so smart you could shape the world. But y’all are so fucking scared to wander outside the leftist, identity politics bullshit that you are doing a disservice to yourselves and the world.
1221
1222The world NEEDS critical thinkers. The world NEEDS the future Sam Harris. The world NEEDS YOU. Please, stop being a bunch of fags and just think for yourselves.

You bow down to my white privilege bitch. You admit in all your ideologies that I rule over you. Now play the part pussy. ORRRRRRR is it possible that maybe something in what you believe is flawed? Wow logic and reason. Oh wait that stuff is bad. Please bring Virgin Texas so I can destroy him. He's a pussy and won't do it. I know it.

1231Honestly? Defund the government and decrease everyones taxes down to 10%. People working at Mcdonalds would start making about 2400 a month instead of 1200. End Federal taxes eventually altogether and let everyone make more. Mathematically people producing their own wealth should keep it, its the only way. Redistribution won't work because of too many people and not enough wealth. The people you think you are helping would starve to death as they have in all of human history when it's been tried.
1232

1239Guess what. You don't know shit I about me. You are so caught up in divisive politics that you are literally using elementary schoolyard tactics to try and say something that you think is some sort of burn.
1240
1241But as I said.. you don't know shit about me. Nothing. Everything you say is a total assumption and some pre-pubescent lash out because you don't even know how to articulate your own thoughts into anything but a "me vs him" pathology.
1242
1243You have totally just made yourself look like an ignorant dumbass here.
1244
1245Everyone who reads your comment will know the same. Hah. Congrats.

1247FYI if this is how you act in real life too then I hate to tell you this but all of those people are either the exact same mental age as you or roll their eyes the minute you walk away.
