The conservative rhetoric around protecting women makes more sense once you understand that victims exist purely as a hypothetical for them. Once a victim actually claims the label, they become a threat. This is also why they prefer dead women to living victims.

I'm shocked that Michael Shermer thinks that women should just stay home and keep their mouths shut.
![Allegations of sexual assault and harassment
Shermer was accused of sexual harassment by two women.[81] Shermer has denied these allegations.[81][82] In 2019, Illinois Wesleyan University canceled Shermer's visit for the President's Convocation at that institution after it learned of the sexual assault allegations.[83]
Writing for The Guardian in 2020 in a review of his book, Fara Dabhoiwala stated that several of Shermer's public speaking engagements had been canceled as a result of these allegations[84] Undark Magazine reported that the allegations against Shermer began to emerge in 2013 and 2014.[81] Shermer had sent cease and desist letters to the student-run newspaper of Santa Barbara City College and accused the editor of defamation in an email to the college.[81][85]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tbqqvyv6pjjww44glrmycaxl/bafkreib5aq7admtingb7wqwmkawwuhzsw7oiess6gnueunpihm5wifkbb4@jpeg)

Labour councillor thinks that the murder of a woman - with plans that political parties in the UK are specifically looking to emulate - shouldn't be political.

The bit politicians aren't saying out loud is: "But you don't understand how much hassle it is to treat very rich people equally under the law. Seriously it's HAAAARD. It causes us all sorts of problems for us. If you knew how HARD it was you'd be content with our decision to just leave it."

Farage: "I believe in vaccinations when they're vaccinations. I don't think what happened with Covid were vaccinations. You have to keep having them every 6 months."
Conspiratorial nonsense.
Some vaccinations like Covid shots require multiple/seasonal doses because immunity fades & viruses change.

Ofcom, which enforces the UK's Online Safety Act, says it is aware of "serious concerns" about Grok undressing people including children on X

Also see: anti-austerity protestors of the early 2010s, who were very obviously correct at the time and were *screamed* down by our horrific political/media class, who repeatedly set the police on them. There’s nobody talking about how great austerity was now, is there? All forgotten.
This was always the problem with antiwar protestors, by the way: it’s not that they were wrong. If anything, it was too painfully obvious they were correct. The problem was: they are a lesser class of pig-people who were insulting and embarrassing our golden special boys, people who actually matter.

So, to clarify, spray-painting a plane is terrorism, holding a sign to support the organisation those that spray-painted the plane were members of is terrorism, but taking a foreign head of state hostage needs to wait for a press conference from the hostage taker for nuance?
Keir Starmer says he wants to establish facts by *watching Donald Trumps press conference.*
People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off.
Special relationship - alive and kicking.
