@Zeb It is a possibility. I'll will continue to observe and ask leading questions.

I can see though that the political ground is not barren. There is potential to influence these younger people. The old folks are off in their own worlds going along with whatever there is.

Progress can be made gently, subtly, and with care to ensure that they believe they developed the correct means to build a healthy community that lives in accord with nature all on their own.

Also, I speak differently here than there, but the message is still the same though veiled as needed.

The females in this group of younger people (as I have seen in other groups) are all quite dominant as many eastern European or Mediterranean females can be.
The males act as your garden-variety liberal males, letting them drive the conversation.

Because what the females are saying is not original, I am pondering expressing my opinions as well. In social terms, this expresses dominance and drive while they pretend to do so by parroting male speech. Potential pitfalls exist of course...

I was in a group of Orthodox Christians today having a discussion, and the topic of Trump and Putin meeting was discussed.
Color me surprised but I heard one female state that she is "sick of the American Empire pushing feminism and globohomo around the world."

Those were her words. I'm glad she's listening to a male who says such things. I had an epiphany from the wider conversation as well...

The question of whether or not Communisim could work in theory was settled before even the rise of the Soviet Union. Ludwig Von Mises correctly identified the problem with all socialism, communist or otherwise: there is no method for economic calculation without the market.

We do not need to have this discussion again. If socialism is to be advocated then a logically consistent answer/solution must be provided to address this.

@ButtWorldsMan A virtue of masculinity is its sense of aesthetics. Females care about their appearance because males care about it.

@UncleIroh @RoninGrey @ButtWorldsMan
Explanation to a female:
"Don't worry about his hobbies. Worry makes wrinkles, and we can't have that, now can we?"

@deprecated_ii Because in 8 years we're going to figure out a way to throw it off course, build that solution with money we pulled from thin air, and all under the presumption that "we" is all of humanity united in this common goal...Sure, this seems like a perfectly reasonable cause to not cut government funding. /s

@RoninGrey @ButtWorldsMan Generally, females are not objective-oriented. They are oriented toward a circumstance that is relatable. The difference is objectives are abstract elements of a strategy. Circumstances involve people in action, namely themselves and if not themselves, they empathize with the person in that circumstance, that is, they attempt to project their emotions into the character.

Hence, "X isn't a hobby" because a X doesn't seem relevant to her.

@Tfmonkey
A couple shows ago someone mentioned that a downside of being a trans woman is that the masons won't accept you. That is partially correct. Each state in the US has its own Grand Lodge, which are totally independent of one another. Some simply say you must have been "born a male". I would recommend anyone looking into Masonry check their state's Grand Lodge's ruling on the matter.

@Stahesh @FinalDresdonation @RegalBeagle A good way to beat a processed sugar addiction is to phase it out with honey and dried fruit. Honey for use in recipes at a ratio of 2/3 honey : 1 sugar and dried fruit standing in for deserts and sugary snacks. If you're a soda drinker, try seltzer water with sugar-free flavoring liquid to start until you can get used to just water.

(This is a joke.)

St.Valentine's Day is great: all the fireworks are on sale from two day's prior.

@RoninGrey I completely agree. Having seen what some of you are doing to make your lives extraordinary or merely better, I say that you are worth more than anything she can offer you especially with the risks' costs.

Walk the path you choose: a path of virtue, of inspiration, of the realization that you're going your own way.

@UncleIroh @RoninGrey I just got to this part of the show as I listen after the fact, and I agree. Halsey has moved the goal posts multiple times. The times I've heard him admit he's wrong, it's always couched in a means that makes the error irrelevant such as a minor datum. He can't countenance the thought that that part of the Regime will suffer strategic defeat. I understand why (his children's future), but it's unfortunate that he's willfully blinding himself.

@Shlomo Poor mules: They don't look to happy.

@Shadowman311
JULIus Caesar = July
Augustus = August

That's where the additional two months originated.

@Mike_Microwave @shortstories @Based_Accelerationist @Mongoliaboo We will see what happens as I exert my influence within the community. I hope that my influence will lead people to conclude that indeed if the community is to grow, we have to do the opposite of female empowerment.

@shortstories @Mike_Microwave Meeting with someone doesn't mean you agree with them

I had an excellent discussion with an Orthodox priest today. He agrees that the West is sick, that equality is a lie, and that divorce laws are terrible.

He agrees with all the specifics of TWRA, but his advice is hope that the right one can be found; so, there is hope for the younger part of the community provided they are willing to enforce patriarchy. Even if he doesn't openly advocate for patriarchy, I will take not standing in its way. Social enforcement of consequences is the key.
