Looks like this will be my new home. Warning: I (probably) have Asperger's, so my be prepared for my autism to show through.
I don't think I am a right wing extremist, but I am sure anyone with low testosterone might think otherwise.

I speculate that the lack of subtlety and having progressive messaging in movies is due to new generations of people coming into the industry having a complete lack of understanding in tactics. Rather than go in with stealth, they think they can just charge on in and have blatant gay propaganda without real consequences.
I am thankful that they are incapable of being subtle. It makes it easier to avoid leftist propaganda. Plus it keeps me from having to watch poorly made movies.
If indeed Elsa is supposed to be a stand in for a gay character, she flies under the radar. Which means the woke crowd can scoff at any moral panic from the right because "they are just reading into things that are not there."
But these days, they just outright make a character the gay and proud of being gay. As a tactic, this fails to plant any seeds for ideas. For example, the new Buzz Lightyear movie. Gay character is just inserted. Parents say no to having their children watch the movie.
Remember when messaging was more subtle in Disney movies? That is, it was so subtle, there was plausible deniability that they were even having any woke propaganda at all.
For example: Frozen. There was a whole lot of parents concerned that Elsa's character was a stand in for a lesbian. I don't know for a fact if this was the intention, but if it was, this is the best tactic. There's room for doubt, but if it was intended, it starts planting seeds.
Note: I am not endorsing. I am diagnosing.

I do not want to see WWIII, but I will not suffer great shock or despair if/when the US military forces finds themselves losing to the militaries of Russia and China. It turns out that you cannot contend well with a grandmaster when you are so used to beating your 5 year old nephew at chess. The US is in this exact state, where we do not realize just how out of practice we are at fighting someone who can properly fight back.
Speaking of the libtards, they show just how quickly they abandon supposed principles in line with the narrative. They were those that previously were the biggest opponents of the US military industrial complex, but now whether they are aware of it or not, are the most ardent supporters of that institution. All it took was for the propaganda factories to talk about how "important" the Ukrainian "democracy" was and now they are all about the US being militarily supreme.
For all pain that can come from seeing the ugly truth of reality, there is one positive benefit that comes from it. You will have already priced in a lot of bad events that may come, and will be less likely to be shocked as a result.
For those like me who are living in the US, we may find our standard of living go down with our and other governments going full retard on the world stage. But we will not be caught off guard nearly as much as the libtards who think the US is still on top.

people have trouble adjusting their mindset to new conditions, and this whole "yeah but the crew survived so it's no big deal" thing is an example of it
it's great if your *highly trained and experienced* crew survives and you can get them in another vehicle, because those years of experience are harder to replace than a tank or IFV. that's how things are in the US military, we have a surplus of equipment and units are always short on manpower
but if your crew is a bunch of tards who learned to operate the vehicle last week and they lose it on their first mission, and you're short on vehicles, you're a lot better off losing the crew than the vehicle if you can choose
of course there are morale implications and concerns over the value of human life and blah blah blah but from a logical "winning the war" perspective, that's just how it is
and yeah, losing a company worth of armor in one spot in a matter of hours is a pretty big fuck up, guy

People continually misrepresent forest fires. They think there's a "fire issue" because there's some forest fires right now.
Canada has massive forests. There is no "fire issue" because forest fires are normal in massive forests. It's not a change, it's how things are.
I'm presently at the site of a major forest fire quite a few years back. It was really bad, nothing left. Today, it's a boreal forest with a developing deciduous forest starting to take over. How? Well, forest fires are normal -- so normal that tree seeds have evolved over countless millennia to require forest fires. The seeds are activated by the fire, which left a nutrient rich ash behind, and the trees start to grow. Many of them shoot up incredibly quickly.
Some people think these fires were cased by arson. Could arson be the cause of this particular fire? Maybe. I don't know, I wasnt there. But it actually doesn't matter. If it didn't catch on fire today it would be tomorrow. Only people in cities who have never lived in nature think forest fires are unusual.
Forest fires are normal and part of the natural lifecycle of the forest, and acting like forest fires are some sort of unusual event or issue or indicator that anthropomorphic climate change is going to wipe out humanity tomorrow and we need to triple the climate tax again is just showing ignorance of nature.

Another thing I just thought of, the whole "who blew up the dam" question. Yes, it was probably Ukraine. But why?
To hurt the Russians? No, I have a different theory. It gives them an excuse to not go forward with the "Spring Offensive."
"We were totally going to go hard on those Russians this spring! But those assholes blew up the damn! Going under those conditions would be a disaster!"
Thus, they can cancel the plans that they knew would fail while not admitting they would just lose.
Doing my daily recon of libshitprop (NPR), and I heard the mention of the Spring offensive "might have already started." Silliest thing ever. There should not be any doubt if an offensive has started. If it is not obvious and the Ukrainian army is starting the operation in secret, then they have not started their offensive.
Just another example of "just trying to make it to Friday" propaganda. They do not want to admit that Ukraine's "offensive" will not amount to jack.

the reason I'm so cynical when it comes to "new technology" is none of our problems are going to be solved with new technology
we don't need new technology, we need to properly use the technology we already have. have had, in fact, for longer than I've been alive. but we refuse to do so

@houseoftolstoy I think of it like a multilayered cult pyramid, where the top floors have no real faith in the tenets they write, but use their priestly caste to pull the strings of the true believers on the lower third of the structure.
In the past, when their liberal ideology was less prominent in their follower’s lives, the doublethink was easy to handwave. But now, the contradictions, the missteps, the constant “just this once” rulings are piling up and causing a lot of stress for an increasingly harried, psychotic, and medicated follower caste. Women like this are the dutiful true believers, and I foresee a lot of “ataxic governance” in our future, where the masters try to exert their will using people like her only to find they’re increasingly going off-book and ignoring orders when they cut against the holy faith.

Great little clip circulating that shows you the future of governance: Informal hen’s networks of women playing follow-the-leader. Things have already worked like this for a long time, but women are going to be far and beyond the worst at bringing it into the workplace.
THIS is why you get mass banwaves for certain targets, where multiple platforms carry out coordinated strikes while their execs play dumb. It’s just fat broads texting each other behind the scenes. This is the kind of thing I wish we could cultivate, but we’ve ceded every battlefield of worth to her kind, and those of us who ARE in those trenches insist on playing by the rules (out of fear that the other side somehow honors their restraint)
I have recently been breaking my overhead press stall. Feels great, but I am puzzled. Not sure I am really doing anything differently, but I can see the results.
Maybe the progress was happening the whole time, but it was just too gradual to see.
