There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one

Fucking A. I tell everyone to wear gloves. Oh, I'll be fine. You ever get a rope burn? No. Well I have, but never while wearing gloves. And you will too eventually, and when you do, you'll drop the rope cuz it hurts like hell and I'll be the one who has to go chase down a horse running around dragging a rope.

That wasn't much of a non sequitur.

Bari Weiss, now that's a Nazi name if I've ever heard one. Also do you know that she called a daughter of immigrants an immigrant while saying that immigrants are awesome? Just like Hitler.

If you want to see why this gender traitor is hated by the progressive sphere, here she is dissing the # Metoo movement with fellow nazi and JohnD's favorite comedian Bill Maher.

This is at least the second time I wasn't sure if something you were saying was a sexual euphemism or a literal description of what it's like to work with horses.

There are times when Ed Brayton, the father of the monster that became FTB says something really stupid. This time, it is that it wasn't mental illness that causes school shootings, it is toxic masculinity.

Pretty much every time Fathead Ed says something, it's really stupid. He tries to make the point that not all mass killers are insane, yet quotes something on how not all insane people are killers. :twatson:

And this is full retard:

A sizable percentage of the population suffers from such conditions, but only an extremely tiny percentage of the population engages in murder, particularly on a mass scale. Clearly, it does us little good to casually tie mental illness, in the general sense, to mass violence.

But somehow it doesn't follow that:

A sizable percentage of the population suffers from such conditions is male, but only an extremely tiny percentage of the population engages in murder, particularly on a mass scale. Clearly, it does us little good to casually tie mental illness maleness, in the general sense, to mass violence.

But I'm banned there, so Barbie can have a go at it.


P.S. How comes it's the lowest testosterone men who are always warning about the dangers of toxic masculinity? Is it to somehow turn the fact that they have testicles the size of pine nuts into a virtue?

Why also is the poster boy for toxic masculinity the puny momma's boy Elliot Rodger? It wasn't like he went around giving the SJW types wedgies or anything like that. I'd say it might be better to see how many mass/serial murderers were raised by single mothers or have been mentally abused by women.

Hey... I actually watched Maher two nights ago and he made me laugh... I actually laughed out loud.... so... he is better than most I would say. I used to find Colbert funny... holy fuck... did that change 180 degrees.... that man hasn't made me laugh in a year. So... okay... Maher is not my most hated comedian.

A lot of American school shooters/spree killers seem to be very histrionic, too, from Rodger to the Columbine kids to the Aurora shooting loon. One pet theory of mine is that one of the reasons that leads them to their acts is that they crave media attention. Basically they're mediocre or unsuccessful people with delusion of grandeur, who lash out at the world in a very spectacular fashion, to see themselves validated from the crowd.

If I'm right that's a more extreme and murderous version of the kind of mindset of shit stirrers and outrage mongerers, like guys who fantasize about shanking priests and about their enemies bashing in their brains with a ball-peen hammer.

My theory is that male SJWs are a haplodiploid species like ants or bees. They develop from unfertilised eggs so don't have fathers. They only have one set of chromosomes which is why, if there's a fucked up allele to be had, they have the lot. Obviously I haven't tested this theory empirically but it is quite obviously correct.

RT's adjusted scores are explained thusly:

"Each critic from our discrete list gets one vote, weighted equally. A movie must have 40 or more rated reviews to be considered. The 'Adjusted Score' comes from a weighted formula (Bayesian) that we use that accounts for variation in the number of reviews per movie."

Meanwhile, over at Metacritic:

Since movie criticism is mostly clickbait (and paid for) these days I understand that recent movies will be unduly represented. I'm baffled by The Third Man at #4. It may be #4 on the list of movies with Orson Welles, not #4 overall. That whole list is a mess. I never took RT seriously and I'm glad to see I haven't missed anything.

Metacritic has a fair score. Black Panther and Get Out are good movies (far better than the godawful Ghostbusters remake) but they're definitely not the best movies of all times. Not even close.

Metacritic has a fair score. Black Panther and Get Out are good movies (far better than the godawful Ghostbusters remake) but they're definitely not the best movies of all times. Not even close.

Sucker Punch was the best SJ movie of all time. Possibly best movie ever.

OK, this was genuinely funny. :lol:

[Steersman]

My hypothesis is that Kirb’s a classic liberal civic nationalist, despising collective identity outside an adherence to generic “muh values”. This in opposition to the Goldy approach: that the value of a geographically defined state lies in it’s unique historical ethnic/cultural heritage. The Goldy approach resists the multicultural agenda of either applying a beige wash or, more realistically, silos until a new dominant culture emerges.

I don't "despise" collective identity, I simply don't see it as the one and only meter of judgement, as Goldy and you sometimes seem to do. In reality ALL geographically defined states have had cultural/religious minorities within them. Even Japan has the Korean minority and the Ainu. Switzerland is actually a multi-cultural country, with four official languages (oh noes!) and the Protestant/Catholic divide.

Indeed. Kind of a case of which values undergird that "collective identity" - ain't all created equal.

<snip>

Rapid, uncontrolled, mass immigration might threaten that. I'm not in the naive camp that sees complete integration as the inevitable result of living together (it never happened in the Basque countries after all) and sees every group as equally capable of integration at any number (to carry this view to its logically extreme results some people, like Justin "Zoolander" Trudeau for example, seem to think that former ISIS fighters will roll back and become law-abiding, tolerant citizens of a liberal democracy, which is clearly insane).

LoL - "Zoolander Trudeau" kind of hits the nail on the head. I voted for the fucker, and I'm kind of ashamed to have done so; lesser of two evils doesn't always work out all that well as that is frequently more apparent than not ...

Now you could say that you've never argued for Steerman-esque "population transfers" or Gestapo levels of Nazi purity. Fine. I can accept that. But again, the question becomes about what do you want, concretely?

Looks a bit disingenuous as I've hardly argued that "population transfers" are always necessary or a panacea - generally only in cases where the values of the immigrant population are fundamentally antithetical to those of the host country.

Somewhat apropos of which: Can Islam, Sharia and a Secular Democracy coincide?

Changing gears a bit, and to kill the proverbial two birds with one stone, and since you seem to have your ear to the ground on the postmodernist front, and ICYMI, an interesting new post from Stephen Pinker: The Intellectual War on Science. A particularly relevant passage:

The humanities have yet to recover from the disaster of postmodernism, with its defiant obscurantism, self-refuting relativism, and suffocating political correctness.

Since movie criticism is mostly clickbait (and paid for) these days I understand that recent movies will be unduly represented. I'm baffled by The Third Man at #4. It may be #4 on the list of movies with Orson Welles, not #4 overall. That whole list is a mess. I never took RT seriously and I'm glad to see I haven't missed anything.

I've watched The Third Man quite a few times. If I see it somewhere on the dial I will watch it again. Same with The 39 Steps. The Third Man is 69 years old. Not bad. And 100 year from now it will still be watched. So, 'critics' who think kiddie CGI cartoon films are better than the classics of a bygone literary era - when dialog mattered - are clowns.

[MacGruberKnows]

I mean, it's like a critic saying a fucking comic book is 'greater' than a work by Twain or Bronte or Dickens et-al.

[MacGruberKnows]

And in 69 years Citizen Kane and The 39 Steps may still be on that list and the rest won't be in the top 200.

Fuck me, the Black Panther cartoon is a literary masterpiece. I learned something tonight. "Greater" than The 39 Steps.

LOL! Fuck me again.

P.S. How comes it's the lowest testosterone men who are always warning about the dangers of toxic masculinity? Is it to somehow turn the fact that they have testicles the size of pine nuts into a virtue?

Why also is the poster boy for toxic masculinity the puny momma's boy Elliot Rodger? It wasn't like he went around giving the SJW types wedgies or anything like that. I'd say it might be better to see how many mass/serial murderers were raised by single mothers or have been mentally abused by women.

Being raised by a single mother who is abusive is part of the serial killer starter kit.

[Shatterface]

There are times when Ed Brayton, the father of the monster that became FTB says something really stupid. This time, it is that it wasn't mental illness that causes school shootings, it is toxic masculinity.

From the article:

Mental illness is not something that changes much from country to country, it’s part of the human condition. Americans are no more likely to suffer from mental illness than, say, Canadians.

Bullshit:

What Breyton is saying is that mental illness is 100% genetic. If it was in any way socially determined it would vary by society. Which is precisely the opposite of what SJWs claim in other circumstances.

I’m not.

The Third Man is a good movie. I just don't get what algorithm puts it as the 4th best movie ever. The critics who've written about it have been rational and before the time that everything was either greater than sliced bread or worse than cholera. I could ramble on about Kurosawa, John Ford, the French New Wave, the Hong Kong New Wave, and plenty of others I'd put before The Third Man. Hell, calling it the 4th best movie with Orson Welles wasn't intended as a slight.

Basically they're mediocre or unsuccessful people with delusion of grandeur, who lash out at the world in a very spectacular fashion, to see themselves validated from the crowd.

But isn't that more a picture of which countries diagnose more mental disease? That is, countries where few psychiatrists are available or where people culturally refuse to see a shrink will be under-represented.

We Europeans sometimes make the joke that each American has their own shrink, and there may be something to that. Americans are probably more inclined to go to a psychiatrist than Danes or Hollanders, and I'm pretty certain those American shrinks are happy to give a positive diagnosis.

Or has anyone ever heard about a psych who said "You're completely normal, go home"?

[feathers]

How much of this disparity is caused by cultural differences? In the US, they will give you Prozac if you had a bad day. In Japan, they don't consider it mental illness if you marry an anime pillow.

Ok, that was a very concise version of my question :-)

I've never quite understood the rebuttal to higher proportion of male targeted violence that it's perpetrated by men. "Male on male" crime somehow justifies crime against men? Total non sequitur and goalpost moving.
