Throw It On The Pile

And in the case of South Asians we literally get called Nazis…

damn bro the neo-nazis suck at their jobs if the ones who are the most “qualitatively white supremacist” aren’t white

Originally, incel was an attempt at destigmatising adult virgins. For while, it even worked. It was a better idea than trying to re-claim "adult male virgin", anyway.

But people who talk about "incel ideology" will probably tell you that a real incel can actually be a happily married man, a father of four. Andrew Tate was in incel in that sense, or an MRA.

If you look at the thinks Andrew Tate or his followers have allegedly been saying - if you wonder why I am phrasing this so awkwardly, I am relying on secondary sources because I definitely won't intstall TikTok for this - then you won't find a lot of overlap with MRA topics.

But what you will find is a lot of overlap between the original incel idea, left-wing MRA rhetoric, and social scientists talking about Andrew Tate. It's not what Andrew Tate allegedly said or didn't say, according to those academics, but what they think motivates the boys and young men who listen to him. He's a "MRA" because he has solutions to the same perceived problems.

So anyway, I wish I could end this with a deep insight, but some political issues are A) "for/against", some are B) about competing solutions to the same problem, and some problems are C) only mentioned by one side and the other side says the problem doesn't exist. I wish we could move the whole "men's issues" topic cluster back into category B.

Remember, the entire “manosphere” is falsely called MRAs, even when they’re in groups that mutually hate MRAs.

It is not for nothing to remember that before Andrew Tate, the prior 'King of the Incels' was a married man with kids who's cardinal sin was telling young men to clean up their rooms, get a job, and focus on hobbies and activities that get them doing things constructively to better themselves.

The people who throw around MRA and Incel as derogatory terms at the drop of a hat never stopped using 'adult virgin', they just tried to find a way to sound morally superior when they used it as an insult.

yeah, the entire europe is perfect and america is bad

trust me, im Ukrainian. We have labs. We have chemicals. This is commie bullshit

There is no satire so clear and well-targeted that it can't be misinterpreted by an idiot.

There is no satire so clear and well-targeted that it can't be said with utter sincerity by an idiot.

I won’t stop being an asshole to translators, do your job properly, you accreditationless duolingo piece of shit.

t. translator

I want to kill myself.

Please PLEASE start being an asshole to translators so they never, ever do something this utterly unhinged

Shit like this always come from wannabe-writers who can’t get published cause their writing is trash so they pull this kind of crap to feel “in charge”.

bro, people who translate hentai have more respect for the porn plot than these translators do for their source material

That boy is going places.

Probably into a tree.

But places.

There are few things that annoy me more than misinformation that’s technically on my side. Misinformation in support of a cause that I wholly believe in, but which is still bullshit and false.

Misinterpretations of religion, mythology and history that are ostensibly in support of women and women’s rights, but manage to demonstrate that OP doesn’t actually care enough about the topic to seek out reliable sources. Simplified distortions of third-hard rumours, covered in a vomit of pathos and sparkles and dished up as LGBT history. Valid criticism of the medical and pharmaceutical industries, immediately followed by absolute bullshit dangerous pseudoscience. Valid criticism of the diet industry, immediately followed by some more bullshit pseudoscience, but at least it’s body positive bullshit pseudoscience. Anti-capitalist screeds that betray a frightening ignorance of history, and other anti-capitalist screeds that betray a frightening ignorance of economics, topped off with anarchist screeds that betray that nobody in the thread has any idea how to run a farm. Sex-positivity posts by people who couldn’t find their ass with both hands. The embarrassment is going to kill me.

Environmental activism is particularly bad for this. Massive increase in respiratory illness due to massive amounts of air pollution? Nevermind that, what matters is that everything will be on fire or underwater within the next ten years unless you give me all your money!!! Also shut down all nuclear power plants immediately because they scare me (and replace them with more coal fires). Fish starving because every shiny thing they see is actually a fragment of plastic? Boring, what you should be looking at is the gigantic island made of solid garbage the size of texas!

There was a thread recently discussing how “clean” energy like solar farms can be hugely environmentally destructive. And rather than say “okay how do we do clean energy without destroying ecosystems”, people just went “well those ecosystems will get destroyed by climate change anyways is that what you want?”

People are REALLY bad about this when it comes to environmental issues, and it really frustrates me. Especially when people refuse to listen to ecologists and other environmental scientists and insist on spreading misinformation.

I’m standing here on the opposite side of this issue “yes, I want to despoil nature and kill the planet, etc” and I really wish the self-appointed “good guys” had principles instead of enemies

What if when we were born we were each assigned a Wikipedia page like a social security number would that be fucked up or what

do you mean a wikipedia page about us? or do you mean some baby is arbitrarily given the rights and responsibilities to update the paramecium article?

ok I did mean a Wikipedia page about us. But keep talking I like where you’re headed

What's your government-assigned Wikipedia page? (No rerolls. I am in charge of "1929 in Wales" now. Not a great year, some bad floods in November.)

"Vaginal Evisceration"

So yeah, i'm going to go clear my eyes with bleach thanks to the shock effect of suprise seeing that page.

I got an indian archer

I got Planet Jarrett. Apparently it was a professional wrestling stable in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), led by the eponymous Jeff Jarrett and containing many of the main event heels in the promotion from Feb 2005 to Oct 2006.

Priorities

People who don't want bad people to suffer and die perplex me

It's prolly because they believe in the redeemable human spirit and cannot simply fathom that there just are some evil people are there who need to die

Except that “evil people who need to die” usually applies to dictators and evil CEOs not “Joe from accounting who made a bad joke on Twitter” or “Little Suzie who writes TMNT fanfiction.”

However the people who believe “evil people need to die” tend to focus too much on the latter than the former.

but there are just as many people who argue that it's bad when bad people suffer the negative consequences of their actions. It leads to the very interesting moral dichotomy, really.

And it'd be a topic worth discussing here if OP hadn't edited the initial post and wasn't going about removing reblogs from the notes. But oh well.
