I’m glad the commenters here are as skeptical about the post overall as I am.

I read the whole thing, and I find SA’s writing style very impressive, but the essay left a bad taste in my mouth. I just can’t really be on board with people who one-dimensionalize human suffering the way this guy — any basically any progressive — does.

Pointing out feminist hypocrisy is fine and dandy (pretty easy, too), but I fail to see why anyone should ever go out of their way to accommodate the very precious sensibilities of people who would probably have intense, crippling neurosis problems no matter how society functioned. If all of the nerds are going to establish themselves by ganging up together and saying, “We’re just as emotional as women are!” then I honestly think the feminists aren’t totally wrong to spit upon them.

@ R.
“..and this is why we can’t have nice things!” – because I advocate ritual murder of feminists? or because no one has actually done it?

“- Barbichette

A game that you play with small children. The ideal would be not to laught, but it is changed into <>.

Je te tiens
Tu me tiens
Par la barbichette
Le premier qui rira
Aura un’ tapette.

Winning conditions are about the respect of some (usually inaccessible) ideal. The point is not to respect the ideal, but to put the blame on the other. This is why the fax, which basically imitates the moves of Opponent is winning : whatever mistake he does, the other has done it before.”

And addendum. Sometimes groups do solve problems, in which case they go around applying solutions where they aren’t needed.

Basically, either every illness has doctors that try to keep the illness going, or else who cure the illness and then start performing surgeries on the well.

Second. That’s a thought-provoker.

Still bonobo. Polyamory and ‘cuddle rooms’ and shit.

(Another thing that’s far more common in the Tribe That Must Not Be Named than elsewhere? Marcuse, Reich, etc.)

I’m not a Religious Zionist; I was raised in a very secular family and never considered religion very seriously. Anyways, I don’t know how much the Christians feared Jews back in the day, although the blood libel does seem to point towards a sort of horror. Maybe a fear of some sort of unknown, Satanic forces at play, not so much a fear of Jewish strength.

Y.Ilan:

Obviously, the myths Europeans invented about the Jews, the way they looked at us back in the Middle Ages, is completely inapplicable towards Israel. We had enough of being the “pitiful, degenerate” victims and took things into our own hands, that’s the whole point of Zionism.

Pagans despise Jews as weaklings; Christians fear Jews for their strength.

May I ask if you’re a religious Zionist?

I would like to affirm the high quality of the meta-level sentence admin quoted (aside from the whole “what to do about feminism” question). It’s that kind of fact that ultimately lies behind all the mess.
