I understand not sympathizing with someone who has been diligently groomed, because we only see the resulting behavior, we don’t see the slow process of seduction. In her case, she was likely groomed by The Algorithm, which the current administration likely paid for.
It’s like he doesn’t understand what’s happening, right? If this were about anything else, he’d be on the cusp of functionality…
wow
When I read these comments I’m always struck by how Leftists think that Rightists are like… uniquely misogynistic. No… its just that a goat can’t smell itself and a fish doesn’t have a word for water. Rightists think we’re misogynistic too, because a lot of us want to decriminalize sex work or whatever, a goat can’t smell itself, the fish can’t see the water they swim in…
Their improvement or non improvement will depend on:
If “the other side” can offer them some sort of tangible benefit, because everyone’s a misogynist at the end of the day, there isn’t a “side” that isn’t misogynistic
If the men/males in their community improve, because as women, especially as women in these communities, they have limited political autonomy
I can’t really imagine not having sympathy for these women because yeah, Rightists are misogynists but so are Leftists, and they’re both self-righteously convinced that this is not so. So, she’s got two piles of shit to choose from, the pile of shit on the left or the pile of shit on the right. I’m guessing she went with whichever pile of shit paid her the most… that’s what I’d do, that’s what any man would do, I’d assume that’s what most women would do. In the choice between two devils, you choose the one who offers you something in exchange for your soul, not the one who wants you to give it away for free. Just sayin
When was this?
