Just a guy on the Internet with some opinions.

No gods, no heroes, no saints - only us flawed human beings.
The Trump administration is likely the most anti-scientific administration in American history. This decison doesn't even make sense from a far-right perspective - don't they want white kids to be healthy now there are so few of them (allegedly)?

It's kind of depressing to realize that one of the few checks on Trump's power is Trump's massive ego.

Lord, don't they help themselves, Lord?
But when the taxman come to the door
Lord, the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah

I think that calling anti-vaxxer conspiracies "criticism" is even worse than the "pro-vaccine" label.

The hacks who wrote this bleak black comedy named an entire department after an internet meme. Seltzer and Freiberg movies are more subtle.

Good to know! I've stopped watching the live action remakes because I found them bland, dull and uninteresting.

The animated Lilo and Stitch has some of the best character development that Disney has ever done - if the live action manages to be at least half as good it'd be a massive improvement!

They're wary of right wing cancel culture. That's not very brave of them, of course, of course, but right wing cancel culture is indeed very powerful.

We need more ethics in journalism.

The "redpill" works like a cult - it preys on the mentally and socially vulnerable, gives them support, a clear enemy, goals and meaning. Of course like all cults it breeds fanaticism, devotion, lower critica thinking and even violence in extreme cases

C) at their darkest point, they discover the "redpill" d) the "redpill" seems to work better than the negativity (because dressing better, working out and/or being more confident IS more superficially attractive) e) consumption of loads of "redpill" slop f) fanatic devotion to Andrew Tate

I've seen this happen to some young boys and usually the progress goes like this: a) extremely low self esteem, usually because of social rejection/parental abuse/bullying b) a spiral of negativity about sex and/or the lack thereof, with constant online reinforcement 1/

I try to be charitable to the religious conservatives because I despise their ideas and their religion, so I know I'm biased.

But a great number of them are actually Nazis

In general I think that the idea that a man is a "true man" only if he is sexually active is actually patriarchal, and the male counterpart of slut shaming for women.

Sex is a wonderful thing, but it doesn't have to be the end of all things! If you have lots of sex but you're a horrible person you are still a horrible person (see, again, Andrew Tate). And not having sex isn't a shameful thing - maybe you just need time! The students I talked to are really young!
May 4, 2025 at 10:20 PM
Yup and I think that the elevation of sex as a badge of honor is a broad social problem in general, not just a problem of "the left". As a teacher I have witnessed some 16 year old boys who told me that Tate was their "hero". I asked them why and they told me "because he has lots of sex".
May 4, 2025 at 10:16 PM
This doesn't mean condoning incel ideas of course! But you have to criticize the bad ideas, not the lack of sex or the scarcity of sex. Sex isn't a badge of honor and being unlucky in love isn't a mark of shame.
May 4, 2025 at 10:08 PM
I think that a good way to reduce the appeal of people like Tate is to stop "virgin shaming" or "unlucky in love shaming". Having lots of sex doesn't mean that one is a good person (Charles Manson had a harem, and Andrew Tate too). I think that being unlucky in love doesn't make you a bad person

Like all the Republicans who bent the knee to Trump Rubio believes in nothing but staying in power thanks to Trump.

He was a Never Trumper until it was no longer an avenue for political power.
