Not exactly serious about this, though I do find it strange that Wikipedia has allowed these Early Life sections to remain up when they otherwise go full blown censorship and gaslighting with other topics. Why leave these sections up? There seems to be something up about this.

Conspiracy theory: all the Early Life sections that bring up individuals being Jews are all filled out by the ADL themselves. Why? Because those looking for Jewish ancestry (namely the alt right) will get their suspicions confirmed, which helps maintain their hatred against Jews.

Thus, the ADL gets more ammunition to rationalize their own existence. So they have motivation to do the sort of actions to help perpetuate their role as fighting against "anti-Semitism."

So rather than contradict what "the science" would say, they go along to get along. And I know for a fact this can happen because we saw exactly what happened with the Wuhan virus bullshit. Do you think most of the people carrying out all the bullshit policy decisions were doing so because they were getting great kickbacks? No, it was because they were either too scared to be defiant or too shortsighted realize it was all bullshit.

Would that same thing not make sense with climate scientists?

If you have been studying a field of science your whole life, you have devoted a lot of time and effort into your work. And if you notice anything that does not seem quite right with the premise that humans activity affects the climate drastically? Well, are you going to risk ruining any career prospects going forward by sticking your neck out? Most likely not.

They may be making a living with this field, but it is hardly about the money when you are not really making a significant amount.

A wildly different example of keeping a lie going but not for the money is with climate science. How much bullshit are we being told decade after decade that this time, we are all going to be past the point of no return and that we have to act now or else we are all doomed? Quite a bit. But is that really all for the money? I am not so sure about that.

I speculate that the problem is that those in that field are in too deep be making any waves against the current prevailing narrative.

Whether or not she profited from this lie is not important to me. What I see as more important is that she was upheld by the leftist media as someone who was courageous and amazing.

Just think what would happen if she actually succeeded in stopping Kavanaugh from being on the Supreme Court. She would be lauded even more than she already is. And she would know that it was her that caused Kavanaugh not to get on the Supreme Court. Money cannot buy that sort of thing.

There is one misguided notion that if someone is not receiving large sums of money, that they would not have motivation to maintain a lie that is spread to the masses. Money can cause this, but there are other factors.

Remember Christine Blasey-Ford? Many people pointed out her book deal as a motivation for her bullshit rape accusation against Kavanaugh, but there is something else that is a stronger motivation: national attention as a "hero" who was "brave" in telling her story.

@WashedOutGundamPilot I always have wondered why jockeys are always men, as they are one of the few groups of men who suffer from bulimia so that they can be competitive by keeping down their weight. Surely, there are petite women who would have an easier time with this due to them naturally being smaller than men (or I would think).

But no, they are all men as far as I know. And they are controlling those horses in a far more competitive environment than this attention whore could.

@UncleIroh @mutageno I have no disagreement here. Just look at how they placed the Captain Marvel movie in between Infinity War and Endgame, as well as having the teaser and advertising so heavy for that movie. That made it seem like it was super important to see just before Endgame.

And... it was barely relevant at all. Captain Marvel barely did anything in Endgame. In fact, if she was written out of it, nothing of value would be lost.

I am aware there were rewrites of Endgame.

"Hurr, hurr, you are not a horse! Don't take ivermectin!"

"Oh, we did not MANDATE people not take it, we just recommended not to! Please don't sue us! Also, the vaxx is still totally safe and effective! Make sure to get your booster!"

Fuck you FDA. Fuck you.

@mutageno I think it was inevitable that they would have people start losing interest after the Infinity War movies were done. It also really does not help that the quality of the content they are creating has declined as well, making things worse.

Not to mention Chadwick Boseman's death.

Yes, the state's monopoly on legalized violence is a major issue, and it is a real concern with the Cathedral looking to enslave us. So I will offer another example of punishment without the state. If a good portion of the population is armed, they can deal with the punishment more personally. A thief will understand that being shot is a real risk for his actions, even if he realizes it far too late. He will not later on reason that his stealing was wrong, so harsh punishment it is.

When it comes to punishments for crime, the same approach is necessary. Do you think the vast majority of thieves, robbers, murderers, or other criminals of these types have high intellectual capacity? I would say no. Therefore, punishment must cater to this level of intellect, because a prison sentence or in the most extreme cases, the death penalty, is the only thing these criminals will be able to grasp.

When it comes to Stefan Molyneux's philosophy that you should never spank your kids, he does have a blindspot: some people are simply incapable of having any morality past "if I do X I will get punished." Stefan may have been able to discipline his own daughter without spanking, but not all people are going to ever reach the intellect of being reasoned with. Punishment is the only thing they understand.

@Nou @bronze @WashedOutGundamPilot The shock value gets old very quickly, as I discovered in my college days with my friends. Besides, the creators turned out to be complete faggots by retracting cards (e.g. the trannie ones) in spite of the fact that they sold the game on being edgy and offensive.

Oh wait, they created the game during the Bush years, when being on the left was counter culture. But now they are the culture, so they have no edge. All that remains is faggotry.

Watching @Tfmonkey debate Destiny, and it reminded me of these Smuggies.

"No, you need to have a STUDY that concludes the exact information you claim is true! Using data you compiled and making logical inferences is not allowed!"

@WashedOutGundamPilot Yes, some people shouldn't have children at all. Fine. But there are many who indeed would want children but have been propagandized into thinking that they do not want them. These are the people who need to have self reflection (especially women, as they are more susceptible to propaganda). There are plenty of people in this grey zone who could be saved from a childless life. And many people (again, especially women) find out too late that they did want children after all.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Or we can work on the means to make people have a less selfish attitude. Many childless people can claim that they do not want children because of whatever excuses they can think of, but few will state that it is because they themselves do not want to inconvenience their lives in any way. That comes from a selfish attitude. Convince people to give up this attitude, and they may warm up to the idea of having children.
