The whole "indigenous land acknowledgement" that I have recently found out about has to be the worst case of virtue signaling. "We are on stolen land." Okay, are you going to give it back then? No? You still want to own it, but you want people to think you are a good person.

Not that the stolen land meme has any merit. Ownership and borders change over the years. Crying about one instance when it changed shows that you live a very sheltered existence.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @Ariovistus So it was projection all along when they try to make men think that "big is beautiful." It just shows that they really, really do not understand men at all. Not surprised by this, but it is a perfect example of how thinking someone is exactly like you when they are not leads to all the wrong conclusions.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Damn straight he should be disappointed in himself. This is an outcome that sentences your bloodline to ruin, if not outright ending it. To elaborate, even if she ends up having children, do you think they are going to grow up in a stable household?

It is the father's job to make sure his daughter does not engage in degenerate behavior. Yes, that job is much harder today with societal pressures, but you have no choice if you want to be a father. You have to stand strong.

@sj_zero Having looked at this further, they most certainly have a survivor bias style of thinking when it comes to how "free" countries are. They considered the US 2020 election "free and fair," as if the mail in ballots and the cases where kicking out observers because of the bullshit "we're in a pandemic" rules makes for a free and fair election.

As people are sent to live in the pods, they will still say they have "freedom."

@mutageno There are many people who have never been able to go to Disney World, and their lives go on just fine without that experience. I am pretty sure that kids are capable of having fun and happy experiences for things far cheaper than Disney World.

And if they do not like it, perhaps they need to build some character instead of thinking that they need to get their way.

@PapaPole @Alex1488 @DW2 @WashedOutGundamPilot I am quite sick of the whole meme of the "college experience" being something that is considered a necessity (I don't mean the drinking and partying but that is also not worth it). How else can you study a variety of subjects in depth unless you pay 5 to 6 figures in costs! Plus, the campus has it's own ROCK WALL! There is no way to find that outside of college!

@PapaPole @Alex1488 @DW2 @WashedOutGundamPilot Another part of the whole college meme are the stats they cite that claim "college graduates earn more money than non-college graduates." This is technically true, but completely misleading and irrelevant for the younger generations, as it conflates the numbers from previous decades to the more recent years. The subset of data from recent years shows that college is not worth the cost for most college grads today.

@sj_zero Perhaps I will need to take a look at this so called "Freedom House" and see if they really care about freedom. And freedom is not the same thing as happiness or getting provided for, as many people will unironically argue that universal healthcare increases freedom (hint: it does the opposite).

@Humpleupagus @koropokkur I will look for this later, but I do recall it has been an issue that Pope Francis has been consistent with. It is not really new that he is against the idea that we should be teaching gender ideology to people.

Not saying he isn't a communist and leftist for other issues, but this is not one of them.

@coolboymew Easy enough for me. My wife is easily less than a 3rd of my PR Squat.

@basedbagel @37712 Let us also not forget how women have inflated expectations based on their dating/sleeping around in their 20s. They often think that the kind of men who would be willing to sleep with them or short term date them are the kind of man she should be able to get past 30. But often that is not the case.

For women who do "settle" for a guy who she would previously overlook in her 20s, they often resent the guy who they end up with, even though he did nothing wrong.

@basedbagel @37712 >Red pillers say that women >30 are undesirable.

There needs to be some clarification here. It is not so much that a woman becomes completely unable to find relationships/husband's after 30, but her options get more and more limited after she is 30 and the become more limited as she gets older. She will most likely not get the ideal man she wants after 30 (unlike in her early 20s).

Also, this assumes that a woman is taking the best care of herself after 30, and many do not.

@SeaTree Now isn't that something. Skip the appointment to the therapist, and get your ass to the gym. Or go run. Just get some physical activity.

I don't think the US will get a full on invasion of our country. In the event that Russia and/or China were to do so, I cannot say I would feel roused to want to stop them.

Just what would I be fighting for? A corrupt system of government that lies to me and seeks to eradicate more of my freedom?

The idea of America is great. But we are far from living in that actual idea. All we have are empty promises towards that idea from those who are deliberately working against that idea.
