You’ll notice that for all the noise about the red/green alliance his argument isn’t based in Islam or Marxism His argument is fundamentally liberal
.@AbdulElSayed says it’s ok for MEN to be in girl’s locker rooms. Why? “Well because they are going to find out about it on the internet anyway” Completely unacceptable.

Palantir has very little to do with Hegel but tech CEOs like Karp love to invoke philosophy to aestheticize and sophisticate the much simpler and more vulgar projects that they are undertaking. In Hegel’s ideal state, you wouldn’t need perpetual surveillance because members of the state would themselves identify with the state and would no sooner act against the state’s interests than their own, the two being convergent and continuous with one another. In a confused, deracinated “civil society” in which neighbors do not speak the same language or share anything tangible in common, an external ‘state’ that stands apart from its individual members, replete with Flock cameras on every street corner, is required to keep people in tow, to instill obedience through a form of suspended terror and violence.
Alex Karp says Palantir is a philosophical project inspired by Hegel.

“Man has been reduced not even to a digestive tube, but to a bag of money that gradually is losing its value... This is both economic history and the history of a spiritual decadence.” Ezra Pound, 30th October 1885 – 1st November 1972

May be the first time in history a Zionist bombed and no children were killed.
Sacha Baron Cohen has said the reason that Ali G 2 has bombed at the Box Office is due to 'anti-semitism' and is part of a wider: "trend of Jews being portrayed in certain ways and trying to be silenced."

It is not bizarre. It is business. Her sponsorship deals account for 90% of her career income. Her brand portfolio, based on her “inclusive” message earned her btwn $5-$7M beyond her career salary. Another feminist icon. The more women rely on this ridiculous idea of some amorphous patriarchy with its boot on women’s necks, and some benevolent sisterhood that will reclaim all that is owed them, the more they miss what is staring them in the face: The market in sex deconstruction, and feminists that will sell out their “sisters” to support feminine men who they perceive as allies in their fight to deconstruct social sex roles. xitter.gq/deityrecords/status/21…
If the women’s sport category didn’t exist, Megan Rapinoe literally would not have a career, yet she has made the bizarre choice to dedicate her post-sporting career to destroying the women’s sport category.

I wonder if these women “ditching alpha males” are the same ones purchasing large octopus tentacle dildos?

So it's evil, the height of patriarchy 🤬for “trans women” to bang on about “exploring one's gender identity” online, but good and empowering for political lesbians to encourage women to choose lesbianism as an act of resistance to “compulsory heterosexuality”? Political lesbianism and transgender activism share an emancipatory premise that established sexual and gender norms must be challenged. However, whether encouraging others to challenge them is deemed empowering or “grooming” apparently depends on who's doing the encouraging.

Me in @bjportraits blog and substack 🙏 whose thankless job it was to curb my sarcasm. "Efforts to “smash The Patriarchy” coexist quite comfortably with elite plans to restructure the economy. Globalization and deindustrialization devastated much of men’s industrial employment in working-class communities across the West, while women entered the burgeoning service economy and professions in growing numbers. Feminism’s emphasis on sexual liberation, representation, and combating “male violence against women and girls” saw men’s reactions to this upheaval as patriarchal resistance to women’s emancipation..."

Accuser culture & trial by media incentivizes damsels in distress, survivor naratives, white nights, allies & a media that "centers the victim". Innocent until proven guilty has a flip side that has been totally obliterated: accuser until proven victim. morbidsymptom.substack.com/p…

If campus rape bureaucrats really believe that the sordid campus bacchanal is a rape epidemic, why don’t they share with females the simple steps for 100% avoiding being “victimized?” Either because those bureaucrats know that drunken hook-up sex is not rape or because they are more interested in maintaining the ideology of female victimhood than in protecting what they claim are actual victims. I called out the campus rape hoax in @CityJournal years ago: city-journal.org/article/the… Full interview on @realDailyWire's Wired In Live is here: dailywire.com/episode/wired-…

“the possible consequences of sexual bonding are not merely ignored but sometimes treated as obstacles to liberation.” The sisterhood can’t compete with the power of heterosexual pair bonding, nor should it.

I was shocked (still am) by how suggestive to outright explicit some of the "snaps" and texts 14-16 year old girls sent my son during secondary school. Prior to that I thought I had to be more worried about my two daughters - that I would need to have many more conversations with them when they reached their teens about how to avoid getting into bad, dangerous situations with the opposite sex when out and about - than him.

I’m genuinely shocked when I see girls tweet stuff like, “maybe teach your sons not to stare at my huge perky tits and nipples when I’m wearing a tight semi-transparent top with no bra instead of telling me how to dress???”
