We need this language to describe actual instances of abuse, actual emergencies. In a context where minor disagreements are labeled sexual assault, we lose that language.

Disagreeing with a woman is now “sexual assault.” Good times in Hell world.

Every time I see one of those posts from a 23 year old woman about how straight guys will only have a mattress on the floor and a card table I remember I used to live that way because I was paycheck to paycheck and still coming up short, and had no friends and severe depression

Eh, feminism has just become elite upper 20% competition between women now, largely about policing and upholding their assortative mating preferences and strictures. Why would you expect anything else?

Seeing more and people refer to the medical system in this country as a “crime cartel” and “organized criminal enterprise.” I am not responsible for this, as it’s an obvious conclusion given the evidence, but glad it is spreading.

The Green New Deal Is Not the Radical Position, It Is the Compromise Position.

The GND is about 20% of what we actually need to do. People have no idea how much climate change is going to destroy and re-shape. We can either be in control of this inevitable process or it can be in control of us.

We will it seems choose the latter.

There is so much vitriol against Arnade by the pseudo-left that something odd must be going on there. I think that thread gets at most of it.
