@Professor_Groyper@sickburnbro Check out r/womenintech on reddit if you're looking for examples. Countless women there consider life ruining a man because he made her feel bad in the workplace a career achievement.
@sickburnbro As you get older you begin to understand how many people are born helots. Slavery actually makes sense in some regards. Which is why it existed throughout so much of our history and across so many cultures. How else were you going to manage so many people and still have civilization for the smaller group that it mattered to?
Look at how people responded to covid and tell me the majority are not just sheep. And can you blame the ones on top of the system for regarding us as anything else?
Our modern system of money, debt and finance is just a refined version of the old system.
Teacher subreddits are full of mostly women teachers bitching about how in a class of 30 they have to deal with autisitics, adhd'ers, runners, retards, etc. Maybe half the class. Easy. Because integrating all levels and abilities in students was the "right thing to do" years before. And you know they bought that idea and its politics and pushed for it all themselves. Here, it's blacks. But it was taken to the extreme and now they have to deal with the consequences. Oh noes. I have to suffer the yadda yadda yadda. Suffer.
@BroDrillard@sickburnbro It literally makes no sense. I know she thinks it's something an intelligent person would say but it's not. She doesn't really understand statistics.
@judgedread Think about the amount of resources poured into the holocaust hoax. Countless billions spent on film, television, media, courses in schools, journalists and writers effectively paid off, newspapers and magazines. All starting from the late 1960's (I use the fact Hogan's Heroes had none of that as a marker).
And still more and more people are taking a step back and saying, That makes no fucking sense at all.
Still. It served its purpose. Same as the century of work put in before leading up to 1948.
@BattleDwarfGimli@s2208@judgedread I wonder if paper copies of those sets are being bought up and disposed of as evidence. They've done it to other books.
@NoDoxGregBrady@judgedread Check out r/womenintech if you want to see fragile female egos. Holy shit. It perfectly captures what happens when egos are unchecked and there are no consequences for bad behaviour.
@ins0mniak@judgedread@echo I remember seeing the trailer for Terminator 2, having no idea it was coming out. Holy shit. It felt like Christmas. Back when movies were exciting.
@sickburnbro@shortstories@jb In earlier times bad decisions were often fatal, along with bad luck, of which there is an abundance, too.
Modern society protects us against much of that now so when it does happen to someone or a group of people it stands out a lot more. Back then it was, Sucks to be him, and then you'd get on with your own life because you didn't have the luxury to spend time or resources worrying about them lest you join them.
@Turdicus@sickburnbro@Frendozer@IAMAL_PHARIUS Talking to ourguys here and elsewhere I've learned a lot and it's great as a humbling experience. It's just a part of personal maturity.
@sickburnbro@TrevorGoodchild@Remittancegirl@mischievoustomato I have far fucking more in common, with common interests and threats, with actual Americans than I do with the 50% of "new canadians" that have been flooded into my country the last three decades.
The borders are just lines on a map. My People are here.
@ins0mniak@judgedread That's what strikes me. It's just the BLM/antifa types getting funded a little somehow still to go out and stir up shit. If the funding was cut this would all go away. There's nothing spontaneous about it at all.
On a side note, looks like my favourite enemy signalling site, boingboing, is feeling the squeeze. They recently stuck their comments section behind a paywall and now are jamming this begging in your face first on most pages. Good to see.
@sickburnbro@DeezMistaReez@DrFell@Eiswald Read about this elsewhere. They were part of a gang and in some other gang's territory on holiday and their leader asked the local guys if it was ok to do robberies in the area. They were given the ok but somehow signals got crossed and it actually wasn't ok.
So they were killed for doing thefts on someone else's turf. The leader was found killed separately.
Basically gang shit. But calling them students makes better headlines.
@sickburnbro@BowsacNoodle@Victor_Emmanuel I'd qualify as old now. Yes, we were lied to by master liars. Yes, we fell for it at the time. No, there is no excuse today to still believe those lies. Those who do are either too stupid or wilfully go along with them because there's a pay off (muh pensions).
