As the wheels keep coming off the MAGA project there will be a political vacuum, don't let libs fill it out of convenience through the prebuilt rhythms of elections and politics, Dems have been a crucial part of MAGA and will make the changes permanent.

A "debate" where the two sides are a conservative operative and an Epstein files guy. Remember what I said about how "stacked panel" propaganda works.

You know a thing that is very bad about this? This is the anti-trans playbook being played against women. Start with 'has the x movement failed the people it's supposed to help', then infantilize them, then make the case they can't be responsible for their own choices, then take their rights away
"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

Attacks on feminism are similar to attacks on vaccines. We begin to take for granted a world where women have rights and most children live to see adulthood, and then, over time, we begin to forget, neglect, and (now) reject the movements and innovations that brought us here.
Until the mid-1970’s, a man could not be convicted of rape in New York State based solely on the testimony of the woman he raped. A second witness was required because the female rape victim was deemed unreliable.
Feminism has not failed women.

Not enough jobs? Its because women took them all. Economy crumbling? Women aren't having enough babies. Loneliness and despair? Women dropped the ball on taking care of you [men]. Dysfunctional institutions? "Feminization."

Once you see it it becomes impossible not to notice the media consent-manufacutring machine that responds to literally every social crisis with the diagnosis that "women too free."
My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

Making a video game is such an incredible act of hubris. You have to create the entire world for scratch. Every object, every rule. Unless you've worked in the field it's hard to wrap your head around how many other games are competing. What worked last time will not work this time. It's impossible.

And, no, these craven horror show haters will not stop with — and have no interest in stopping with — children. The "under 19" decision from the beginning of the Trump administration made that clear, but it has appeared in other ways and will continue to do so.

it's not that the moral arc of the universe naturally bends towards justice, it's that the conditions that create and enable such evil do eventually cannibalize themselves, and in there, new opportunities arise. nothing is permanent, including these horrible pieces of shit.

I think it’s interesting how if you describe gendered expectations backed by significant data you will be demeaned as a man-hater but if you regularly do stuff like casually using sexist language toward women you’re just considered normal
