Political Meme Thread 21.9.5 Endwalker

This does avoid a nuance. In WOW guilds and raiding there seems to always be a desire to allow people with female voices (aka real girls) to be given gifts and spots on raids even when there are other more deserving male players. It actually caused an interesting phenomenon of gamer girls who became sought after raid organizers and guides because they had gotten skills from going places more often. If you were a female and wanted to get in on high end raiding, and you could also have a decent productivity in the raids, you could move up faster in new content because guilds would fight over you.

You could lose a productive experienced male player and get others without a problem, but there were a few guilds I knew who would really chase down a strong female player when she totally left them in the lurch every time new content open for more active guilds. if you were a guy and did that you pissed people off, and old guilds might not take you back.

OMG we totally need to make that OF and paladin's avatar.

Best we can do is for notoldfella1962 and NotPaladin, but ideally they'd use the respective AVs.

Perhaps we should tattoo that to Pence's forehead.

Pence is a piece of work, but he did stand up for the rule of law and get personally targetted by the Insurrectionists. I'm content with his essential person-non-grata at this point and don't wish him any particular ill at this venture.

he did stand next to lord Qupid for 4 years without doing a thing until he almost got killed for it. That was something reasonbable people were telling him was going to happen and he should protect himself by doing something sooner. It should be a chilling warning to anyone who would stand with Qupid. Pence is the ultimate example of why you don't do that if you are not part of it.

Exactly.
I consider it punishment enough for the moment.

I consider the punishment sort of good. However, I really wish the media would do more on this is what you get when you stand with such immoral loonies. It is just a nuance on the presentation that we are having.

I want it to be pointed out to the silent and complicit that when you do not do something about the hateful people who try to do others in then eventually they will come for you. To a certain extent I also see that needing to be said to the left especially in the trans rights people. From an honest point you have to stay reasonable. One of the reasons the gay movement was so powerful was that it was not so us vs them. There was that inclusive space where allies were valued and not torn apart. There was a forgiveness to educating people for evolution on the matter.

We have to make a place for people to come along in these matters, but part of that is showing this is what happens when you go with the hate groups, and we have to have an alternative where we allow people to exist and be a positive part of the community despite past transgressions. That becomes a real hard part because you are going to get bit doing it but examples will show caring. .For that I am not serious about actually tattoing pence, but we should haul him out and say we let this bigoted guy exist and did not string him up and take all of his family possesions. His america still exists for him. He still has his stuff and he can do lots of things except bashing others.

As an example with @oldfella1962 I do not want to harm him, his family, or even the financial security they enjoy. I would fight against taking any of his house and home. That is not to say I would not be for reparations of some sort. I am considering he has just one house and does not have a bunch of property. There may be a cause to take some property away from people who have a bunch to help establish people below the poverty line with an acceptable start. But really, your home stays yours, your kid's homes stay theirs. Big farms which are used should stay the property of the farmers.

I do not want to knock most people down. Some of the rich I am just fine for knocking down. I am not even for knocking them down into areas that are not OMG awesome. I really want OF to be secure along with everyone else. I want no one to be able to touch that home of his that he worked hard for. I also want other people who work with the community to have a home they cannot be kicked out of. I want you to have food and electricity in that home. Maybe do some stockpiling for emergencies, but most people do that just fine. Let us not be wasteful. Do not grab 15 bananas at once for just yourself because you are not going to eat all of them and some will rot. OTOH grab some fucking bananas.

I think that OF and his family should have medicine just like everyone else, and that we should have free and good education so we can find doctors and nurses who are skilled and want to help. That also means we educate teachers and have enough of them to go around.

If we had a set base of decent life for everyone who works that included food, shelter, clothing, vacations, internet, electricity, TV media, education, and some hobbies then you start giving out bonuses for working harder. Then people would not have to work all that much harder to enjoy life and get more value out of it because we would have so many people working. People would still do scientific discovery because that is just the way intelligent humans work.

We could do all of this shit, and it would reduce crime by reducing reasons to commit crime. The only crimes would become the sadistic need to harm others. The people who are truly evil because they wanted to cause others pain would find themselves the only criminals if we had a society like that. I am not sure we would like to see just how many humans get off on evil.

We might also be able to isolate and treat certain mental problems like people who steal even though they have enough. We could focus on abusers because they would be a huge problem. We would not have to spend so much time worrying about what people do on their off hours, and we might even find people become better because they feel more a part of the community over all.

Original 1930's Superman was actually like that.
Then the depression era equivalent of CHUDs started screaming, and well....

1 in 5 women have been raped - and that’s just those that have been reported.. as a woman in the confidence of other women, I guarantee, that number is higher, probably 1 in three or even 1 in 2.

Yet, every man I know claims to never have had to force it.

Weird. How does that math work out for you?

I don't even know what Q is. I hear it referenced but I assume it's one of those fringe groups. Somebody here told me once but I don't remember the details.

So every man claims to have never raped? Has every man been asked? No man I know was ever asked. Is there some type of survey going around I don't know about? Or maybe one male rapist rapes multiple women over his lifetime, thus 1 in 5 women being raped would not equate to 1 in 5 men being rapists. Has that thought ever entered your mind?

The point is, men rape women. Sure, not all men. But some men.

Don’t tell me you’ve never told your wife or daughter “stay out of ‘this’ area, it’s not safe”. Cuz every military man I know has.

Yea, when a woman tells me “that guy” raped her, and he, undoubtedly, denies it, you bet your ass I believe her over him.

and she went to the cops first with this information?

Haha. So assholes like you can call her a liar? Or bitch about how she’s dressed or how she behaved? No, most likely she didn’t and has only her friends for comfort.
