It seems more effective than it is

2018-12-03 13:59:24 UTC

The reason menslib works is because the issues they talk about are things blindly drilled into people's skulls already, unfortunately the general populace doesn't hold the same opinion regarding men's issues

2018-12-03 13:59:35 UTC

But what I'm saying is that menslib doesn't really work

2018-12-03 13:59:45 UTC

I'm trying to think though, because a thing like MensLib only really works based on the size of feminism (and just barely at that) I feel like anything else would quickly fade into obscurity

2018-12-03 14:00:12 UTC

I share Abbysol's opinion on this

2018-12-03 14:00:45 UTC

The cross-section of people who could find that useful are way too small

2018-12-03 14:01:00 UTC

So I can't see that sort of community working out

2018-12-03 14:01:13 UTC

an ask an MRA thing could be interesting if it doesnt exist already but I feel like that would just be repetitive stupidity and trolling and baiting.

2018-12-03 14:01:39 UTC

I'm almost positive there's an ask an MRA sub

2018-12-03 14:01:48 UTC

And there is also FemRA

2018-12-03 14:01:53 UTC

I think menslib kind of acts like a gateway to wider MRM

2018-12-03 14:02:22 UTC

Menslib is where people who could be concerned about men's issues go to be brainwashed

2018-12-03 14:02:25 UTC

/Looks at mens lib... da fuck is this shit? /looks for something better

2018-12-03 14:03:47 UTC

Most People who come there will find where it's fault lines lie and will jump ship

2018-12-03 14:04:24 UTC

I think you really have to have come across the real MRM somehow in order to jump ship from that. For instance, I found it after watching Cassie's documentary.

2018-12-03 14:04:28 UTC

@Abbysol @Indigo I don't have enough faith in people to believe that

2018-12-03 14:04:32 UTC

but since real men's issues basically aren't talked about there

2018-12-03 14:04:53 UTC

And I mean it actively tries to direct attention away from them. You can search the sub for Homelessness, Divorce, Domestic Violence, or stuff and find 2-3 results from years back. Actually 3 results was for Homelessness, the most discussed topic of the three.

2018-12-03 14:05:00 UTC

So you aren't going to find the MRM through that

2018-12-03 14:06:46 UTC

It's deficiencies are utterly evident

2018-12-03 14:07:31 UTC

Ive seen a few people post on the MRM sub that came directly from Menslib because they where so disappointed

2018-12-03 14:07:48 UTC

To find menslib you really need to be looking for a men's issues sub anyway, so if you find that one instead of a real one, it's only gonna be subverting some people away. If it didnt exist they would find men's rights anyway

2018-12-03 14:08:13 UTC

Some people will be convinced enough to stay on menslib and buy into their crap

2018-12-03 14:08:39 UTC

And that's the thing. I'm pretty sure people don't get dissatisfied with the MensLib way of doing things without first coming across the MRM

2018-12-03 14:09:28 UTC

wouldn't know though, I am banned from r/feminism

2018-12-03 14:10:03 UTC

I got banned from legaladviceuk for posting in men's rights

2018-12-03 14:10:03 UTC

Compare the active users of /r/MensLib to something really, really fringe like /r/Antinatalism

2018-12-03 14:10:10 UTC

Not posted in feminism

2018-12-03 14:12:08 UTC

we need to put efforts mainly to chip away people from Lib

2018-12-03 14:13:23 UTC

@Indigo the only way to do that is not to post in the sub itself but to speak up when anyone mentions menslib outside of the sub. Not that I think its particularly worthwhile doing.

2018-12-03 14:14:11 UTC

I feel like the goal is not to aim at feminists but to aim more at normal people, I feel like most people are rational but only hear one side and dont really want to have to go out of their way for anything, is why I lend out my books and The Red Pill movie so much, since anyone I have lent it too has come back with "yeah, I see your point", the problem is also trying to come across and not trying to shove it down their throats either... it's all very complicated >.<

2018-12-03 14:14:56 UTC

I'm actually worried it is something that would catch on as an idea

2018-12-03 14:14:56 UTC

trying to convince a feminist of anything is trying to tell water not to be wet, there is no reasoning with crazy

2018-12-03 14:15:09 UTC

Oh, there is a way

2018-12-03 14:15:20 UTC

You fight crazy with itself

2018-12-03 14:16:06 UTC

I feel like fighting crazy with crazy will just end up with 2 lunatics screaming at each other from such a distance that they can't actually hear each other

2018-12-03 14:16:17 UTC

Possibly

2018-12-03 14:17:04 UTC

It's something we could refine quite quickly.

2018-12-03 14:19:33 UTC

Make it so that only conspiracy members can post topics

2018-12-03 14:19:37 UTC

but anyone can comment

2018-12-03 14:19:42 UTC

The thing is to get them to read our stuff - and they are so isolated as to not really know what our stuff is

2018-12-03 14:19:50 UTC

I went on that against sub once... I felt like they where looking at a completely different movement then the one I was a part of :T

2018-12-03 14:19:51 UTC

Yes

2018-12-03 14:20:10 UTC

@Abbysol yep. They mostly fish in the comments

2018-12-03 14:20:25 UTC

In fact, I think they post them themselves

2018-12-03 14:21:19 UTC

Hmmmm

2018-12-03 14:21:46 UTC

I would die without reddit, where else would I get my fix of cute animals doing dumb shit? D:

2018-12-03 14:22:48 UTC

but that is going to be a hella small community

2018-12-03 14:24:05 UTC

I see, so even 1/week for a few months would do

2018-12-03 14:24:10 UTC

fuck I love Aww

2018-12-03 14:24:27 UTC

Try /r/eyebleach too!

2018-12-03 14:24:34 UTC

already on

2018-12-03 14:24:38 UTC

and Rarepuppers

2018-12-03 14:24:44 UTC

and animalsbeingderps

2018-12-03 14:24:48 UTC

And /r/watchpeopledie

2018-12-03 14:25:04 UTC

you mean PeOpLeFuCKingDyinG?

2018-12-03 14:25:13 UTC

Nope xD

2018-12-03 14:26:08 UTC

While some top comments from WPD are short, I think it would be hard to farm karma there

2018-12-03 14:27:26 UTC

now /r/idiotsincars on the other hand...

2018-12-03 14:34:17 UTC

Is there menslibbers on this server

2018-12-03 14:34:25 UTC

Oooh

2018-12-03 14:34:37 UTC

Probably not

2018-12-03 14:34:38 UTC

Nah, this was only advertized on /r/mensrights, and only for a relatively short time

2018-12-03 14:34:56 UTC

Specs guy is here I think

2018-12-03 14:35:02 UTC

yeah, he is

2018-12-03 14:35:06 UTC

Eeps

2018-12-03 14:35:19 UTC

keep general open, maybe have a separate channel for proven members

2018-12-03 14:35:56 UTC

@Abbysol yeesh, 'proven members' makes us seem like the SS or something >.<

2018-12-03 14:36:26 UTC

sorry, I mean like, รฟou have been here 1 day and havent said anything, so we have no idea where you actually stand"

2018-12-03 14:36:40 UTC

like essay writing tools or some shit

2018-12-03 14:37:09 UTC

But SPECS would mostly just call this silly. He understands that /r/mensrights is pretty antifeminist and would say that the nice feminists he cares about wouldn't really be affected by this sort of thing, since they aren't anti-equality.

2018-12-03 14:37:14 UTC

I've had a lot of rum tonight, feel free to ignore anything I say xD

2018-12-03 14:37:54 UTC

Oof... Don't remind me of alcohol! I really want some vodka but my diet doesn't allow it rn :<

2018-12-03 14:39:25 UTC

2018-12-03 14:42:29 UTC

A friend of mine said all you need is 2 drinks to fix the world xD

2018-12-03 14:43:09 UTC

because you are drunk enough that you get into it but not so drunk that you are completely incoherent, lol

2018-12-03 14:43:49 UTC

Lol

2018-12-03 14:44:41 UTC

Stopping at just two is the hard part methinks >.<

2018-12-03 14:45:29 UTC

idk, I've been told I have an alcohol problem, but it's only a problem if you think it is ^^ (I am a horrible person xD)

2018-12-03 14:45:55 UTC

In other words, it's not a problem for you, just everyone else lol xD

2018-12-03 14:49:27 UTC

exactly, except my dad... because I can never pour myself one without him asking me to get him one too xD

2018-12-03 15:14:44 UTC

Just wanted to post this since it was an add that ran on TV here, proof that things are changing

2018-12-03 15:20:50 UTC

Slowly but surely, we'll get there

2018-12-03 15:24:20 UTC

Whatโ€™s the fastest way to grow this discord? From regular conversations many people have MRA views, but actually unifying them or getting them to join discord is like 40% successful

2018-12-03 15:26:45 UTC

I think we should ask goodmod to put it in the subreddit sidebar

2018-12-03 15:27:27 UTC

Iโ€™ll message someone one now hopefully the understand

2018-12-03 15:28:04 UTC

Message someone you want to get to come here you mean?

2018-12-03 15:28:23 UTC

No to have them add it to the side bar

2018-12-03 15:28:32 UTC

Goodmod comes here

2018-12-03 15:29:28 UTC

When you said goodmod I thought you meant good mod XD nvm then

2018-12-03 15:30:19 UTC

Iโ€™ll continue to keep sharing this discord hopefully it gains some traction

2018-12-03 15:33:39 UTC

๐Ÿ‘

2018-12-03 16:48:19 UTC

I actually have a html button that could be used in the sidebar for the discord @goodmod

2018-12-03 16:48:30 UTC

If you are up for the idea!

2018-12-03 22:23:51 UTC

2018-12-03 22:35:34 UTC

Hey yall

2018-12-03 22:35:56 UTC
