    It would be against the laws of physics NOT to talk down to them.

    Situations like the one in Greenland are a microcosm of a larger human trend towards self-destruction. Almost every problem that humanity faces is trivially solvable. We could literally solve them tomorrow. But we won’t. Because people are stupid. Our species is just doomed, and now I have to sit here and be nice to these humans while they kill us all.

    The fact that 57,000 people, living on an undefended frozen land mass that every world power would love to possess, think it’s a good idea to “seek independence” from one of the very few free nations still remaining on this woebegotten planet tells me everything I need to know about the inbreeding that goes on up there.



  • Honestly, you kinda said it yourself. The whole “woke” phenomenon doesn’t exist in real life. It’s a purely online reactionary movement. The young men I work with have zero issues; they live their lives in peace. Then they get online and are told by the manosphere and red pill communities that everyone hates men and that being masculine is bad and all kinds of other UNTRUE crap that has nothing to do with reality.

    I’m not saying young men aren’t struggling. They are, don’t get me started. I’m saying that the whole game of gender wars is happening exclusively online; it’s mostly imaginary; and it’s toxic as fuck.


  • Sure, atheism was a big online movement in the 2010 era, but it was co-opted in 2015 by the “intellectual dark web,” from Sam Harris to Joe Rogan and the Weinstein fuckheads. That’s when things really started to get bad.

    The atheist movement was already fizzling out after the death of Hitchens a few years earlier, and was then metastasizing into something ugly (as you said, video games, anti woke bullshit), until it was eventually subsumed by reactionaries like Jordan Peterson, who burst onto the scene with his crypto-Christian nonsense. Joe Rogan started to get more and more conspiretarded, and the rest is history.

    Anyway, the YouTube alt-right pipeline is a well researched and documented phenomenon and when I have to spend all day arguing with 15 year olds about why Andrew Tate sucks, please take my word for it, they need to be kept off of social media. They’re too stupid and vulnerable.
