@RoninGrey @Tfmonkey Nice

@ButtWorldsMan the commentor doesn't understand: those ARE the Mexican flags now.

@Mike_Microwave Kings and Generals is great for pre-modern-era historical information. Forget about history post-progressive movement though--much like Wikipedia.

@ButtWorldsMan According to Statista, the average weight of adult females in China (18+) is 130.07 lbs.

@ButtWorldsMan An interesting attempt, but it's an ineffective one for all societies.

@Tfmonkey @37712 @ButtWorldsMan No one talks about that... I can't imagine why. /s

@ButtWorldsMan I wonder if she knows what ranchers do to get all those artificial insemination samples from bulls to breed heifers and cows... They also slaughter said bulls when they're done with them.

@ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey I agree with your second point completely.

@ButtWorldsMan Look up what species throughout the animal kingdom have females being larger than males, and you will see why these feminists want to propagate this drivel. It's all about power and the delusion that through education they can overcome biology and genetics.

@ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey The OP is taking a very narrow view of the philosophy by tightly coupling it to the one example of a Stoic, namely Marcus Aurelius. Stoicism as such has nothing to do with a cheating whore.

@Shlomo I think they could mean "directly" rather than a "straight line", or they're trying to say that space is curved in that exact, linear function, or they could simply be wrong.

@shortstories Then your categorizations are insufficiently granular. Religion =/= philosophy =/= culture.

@UncleIroh Excellent image

@UncleIroh @Zeb I agree there too. My original point was that if you want to start an intentional community in the current environment it must begin without females.

@UncleIroh Religion is not stupid or slavish, I agree, and a sacred practice is absolutely necessary, but one need not be a member of the existing religions.

Is this a perfect solution? No. You could join one of the existing patriarchal communities, but you must live by their slavish morality.

If you won't join a herd and you can't make existing families patriarchal, then you have to act on the only effective solution available, which is to make a community without females.

To answer the question of who should start it: it must be males--single males who don't have females or children to anchor them to the current society. They make a community, and when they are thriving, females will appear.

I was thinking about the conversation on the MC about how do you start a community, and you need something other than ideology that binds people. You need a common culture, a religion or particular practice, and a philosophy that can bind people.

@Stahesh @Zeb @37712 You could learn Russian and emigrate to Russia. You'd have to start from nothing, but it might be doable. The Volga has very fertile farmland, and farming is a quiet life if that is what you desire. You could also work in Russian oil fields and make good money if you don't mind the cold or the dry.
