I think it was an interview with Robert Malone, where he mentioned the vaxx issues could be even worse than we know, given how one demographic that was most likely to take the vaxx could be dying suddenly without raising any alarm bells. That is, the elderly. When a 70 year old gets a heart attack, nobody is surprised. Which means that any of them who are getting heart issues due to the vaxx (or rather accelerating any issues) will go well under the radar.

I don't think the vast majority of people who took the vaxx are doomed. A significant percentage already has immediate problems, and many more will probably have additional complications. But I do not think it will mean the death of all.

But even if it is just 1 percent that will have significant problems, it is bad enough. But my guess would be that around 10 percent will have problems, which is certainly a significant number.

And on the topic of marriage, I have said before, the primary purpose of sex is to make babies. Yes, sex feels great. That is because your body wants to create a baby. When you short circuit that primary purpose in favor of hedonistic pleasure, you will discover that like all other hedonistic pursuits, you will be left empty if you try to skirt around the primary purpose of sex.

Why do you think sluts are so unhappy? No, being happy in the moment does not count as actually being happy.

What is the primary purpose of marriage? To start a family. If your idea of marriage is that it is solely for those butterfly feelings or so that you can have the wedding celebration, you are more likely to have the marriage fail.

Yes, you need love to make a marriage work too. But that love is not in the form of shallow attraction that many mistake for love. The kind of love you need is the "this person will stick it out with me even when we can barely get any sleep due to a crying baby".

@Tfmonkey Also, given WinteryKnight himself is not married, it would be absurd for him to tell other men to just go line up to get slaughtered. Not that it never happens, but he is not one of those types.

Sorry for the many posts, but I had more to say that can fit in 500 characters.

@Tfmonkey Continued quote:

"No amount of shaming and blaming by pro-marriage conservatives is going to remove the risks of divorce, loss of custody, loss of parental rights, alimony, child support and forced transing of kids. Good men can do good in other ways. They don’t have to get married, especially not in a time where society is producing radical feminists as wife candidates, and stacking the schools, courts and hospitals with more misandrists."

@Tfmonkey Quote: "

Neither Jesus nor Paul was married in the New Testament. 1 Corinthians 7 urges single Christians not to get married so they can focus on Kingdom work. The case for marriage has to be overwhelmingly attractive for a man to pursue marriage. These news stories are discouraging men from marrying."

@Tfmonkey Not saying you will fully agree with WinteryKnight, but I should defend him when you do not have the full context of his viewpoints:

https://winteryknight.com/2023/01/06/texas-supreme-court-allows-ex-wife-to-take-gender-confused-son-to-california/

He is NOT saying that men should just get married no matter what. In fact, he advocates against men from doing the standard tradcuck line of "You have to get married no matter what."

Unfortunately, he does shame Jeff Younger for marrying the wrong woman, but at least he does not advocate for marriage no matter what.

Tangenting here, but I recall someone posting a woman trying to tell someone (a doctor I think) that she is autistic, and her claim was immediately dismissed. I would most likely agree with the doctor there.

And no, women, you don't have OCD, ADHD, or ADD. Too many of you are saying that. If you are joking, then no problem. Just don't think that the being able to be distracted or having regular habits of tidiness makes you have some sort of disorder.

So if you think that you are autistic because of these factors, you might want to first determine whether you just have social atrophy. And look into other symptoms of autism, as there is a whole lot more, such as hypersensitivity, being obsessive with topics to the point of annoying others, being way too attached to routines. Chances are, your self diagnosis will be incorrect.

And please, talk to people in person more often. Flex those social muscles and see you are no sperg.

As someone who has Asperger's, I know the ins and outs of the struggle with communication. But conversing online does not affect me the same as non-autists, because I was already often missing many of the social cues in regular conversations. So when I am also missing them in text, it makes far less of a difference for me.

Now that I think about it, it is not just "online" communication. Many people rarely use their phones for calls, but rather texting. This has the same effect.

When you are missing most parts of the communication and are doing less in person communication, what you get are a bunch of people who can no longer communicate properly. They sort become like autists, who also struggle with communication. But these people are not autistic, but rather have social atrophy. It is like someone who never goes to the gym and is a beanpole as a result thinking they have muscular dystrophy when in reality, they are just not using their muscles when they could be.

I have a theory about the supposed increase in autists. The internet is to blame. Not simply because people can look up terms and mis-diagnose themselves (though this is part of it), but rather that the internet has the unfortunate side effect of allowing people to be "terminally online."

When you are doing the vast majority of your communication through text alone, you are missing most of the actual communication you would get in a natural social situation (vocal inflections, emotions)

You are worse than useless Rod Dreher. How about advocating for home schooling? As in, a solution that you can actually implement to change the circumstances you disapprove of rather than just ask for someone else to do something (especially when you know full well they won't).

"Just pressure the politicians, man! It will totally be effective and not just amount to nothing getting done! Because we can VOTE them out if they do not listen."

Perhaps he did not say that here, but I am willing to bet that is the logical conclusion to his ending statement. As if elections matter when they are openly stolen. I am willing to bet he also claims that the elections are completely fair and above board too.

Statements like this are why I have no respect for Rod Dreher:

"At some point, the public is going to have to start throwing stuff. Meaning voters are going to have to use the only tool they have -- pressuring elected politicians to change the way they spend the public's own money -- to fight back against the cultural elites who despise them, and who are corrupting our kids with this filth. The backlash is long overdue."

I am aware that the feminist and equality policies only come in after the prosperity is there, but too many people do not realize this. They think that the relationship is the inverse, and that leads to ruin for millions of people.
