it's kinda late here, and I still wanted to watch yet another auschwitz documentary. because that's totally what you should do when depressed 😛

Was super nice talking with you all

@RyeNorth If @Timcast Ever needs yet another tranny opinion on some weird issues, I'm available. Also if some German is required to be translated. Can't hunt for interesting articles myself atm though

wanting a job at infowars? that's interesting for sure

anyway, if it's legit, hope that goes well. suicidal episodes are... not fun

that quote is far older, and I haven't traced it back to its origin

maybe it's too old for written history

but something not taught in school or by parents, and that makes it hard to figure out on your own. because it's something so obvious that it's not obvious. because if you deny that truth, you can tell yourself to not have had responsibility in the outcome

had to learn that shit the hard way when i had positions of responsibility, and that's just not a fun place for that. because you have to decide between pest and cholera or shit and lesser shit, but the lesser shit is worse in the long run every fucking time something lands on your desk

what i despise really are people in such positions of responsibility, of their own volition, and then refuse to make decisions, because they don't want to be responsible for the outcomes. but all that happens is the worst possible one, and you accepted by not even guiding it

I haven't seen a bulbasaur bud hidden under the beanie yet

"Perhaps the Human development index is a better metric since it's based off life expectancy, education, and per capita income indicators"
That's generally an interesting and good idea. The communists don't like the GDP anyway, because their ideology rejects such things, and actually leads towards zero there, and they would lose out on Human Development too, because their life expectency plummets for an inability to sustain health care and even food production

Would you rather live in the "Western World" or the middle east? South America? Africa? South East Asia?

judge them as individuals, not as a group. Or we will have to talk about Nazi Germany's highways and bicycle lanes

apologetics in either direction do not justify condemnation of the group

or honors

who judges the bad be so bad that the innocents of the group must suffer?

@GingaBomber from the way you talk, you care much more about groups, and not individuals

you talk about groups all the time

"Too many humans of the planet, especially in 1st world, who consume the most per head; we need to reduce reproduction!"

was the narrative before

and now this?

there're good and bad elements to immigration. governments as of late chose the latter and painted it as the former. people pick up on that lie and get antsy

lies by ommission

are still lies

it is a lie by ommission, further information is ommitted, just a single, narrow grain of truth is revealed and elevated as "all the truth"

if they think france is that bad, they get little compassion from me

the country is pretty ruined compared to the 90ies already

thanks to them

it's not empathy

it is willful blindness to not accept the dark evils of the world to be true in the people you see. evil people are elsewhere, and you would never fall for them, right?

it is not compassion, it is pity, the dark cousin. the vice, not the virtue

it is not empathy, for then they would take into account the dark truths surrounding these people and their victims, but they don't. emphathy is a product of logos, not emotion

people use the word empathy wrong. we need some widespread education on that, and the differences towards solipsism and compassion

it's like people mixing up schizophrenia with split personality disorder

dude, the genius knows how to exploit chaos

so crisis it is

crisis follow rules

just as everything else

you just need to be far enough away from it to observe, notice and use to your advantage

grab seven friends and play twilight imperium every weekend for the next half year. you'll figure it out

@wacka you just don't know how to set things up properly before flipping over the dominos

@Grenade123 the simplest one? just the game

@Grenade123 You assume too much good natured hearts. After a certain amount of money, making more or gaining more influence, is just a game to some people. nothing more

yes

for some people that is enough. unless you figure out an ulterior motive, even that of a bond villain, it is, in all cases "the game", it is being played anyway, deeper reasons or not, if you want it or not

you were mentioning the sensible rich people

bill gates has supported social justice nonsense. i believe he is good natured. i also belief he is a crook and a twat and an idiot

"you only make money for a crisis if you have stable place to offer to "help" rebuild after the crisis." this was your "good" reasoning. it is not necessary to simply play the game for the game's sake

and if you're a psychopath, why would you care for the fates of people? they're just statistics. or you're a sadist, and may enjoy the suffering

staying on the topic of soros, as he was brought up; does anything know whether he is psychologically deviant?

because you could infer some things from that

so did hitler

they thought of it as necessary evils

that's just you thinking that

no, we're talking on a meta level here

you're invited to climb the ladder, come out of the box

and you're thinking in groups again, you assume we're talking about groups, while we're actually talking about systems

"you just admitted he reasons are "just because" at no point did I mention anything about jews kiddo. get your antifa bat back into the closet

More like a thanos complex @Atkins 😮

@Grenade123 oh we're playing that game again? "you missed the point entirely" No you did

okay, let me explain "just because" to you: it's fun. because it is fun. it's fun to gain, it's fun to win, it's fun making predictions and seeing you were right in your calculations and machinations coming true. mmmh, that tasty serotonin

it's probably too obvious for me, sorry

I've seen too many people solely acting for emotional self-reward and the like. Fewest of them "competent", but they all do it.

no, there are exceptions. few in number but... there's little reason for you personally standing up for others you don't even know much in the face of danger

pathological altruists certainly are mentally ill in a way 😛

but then so is everyone who doesn't want to acknowledge the dark side, the evil disguised behind a smile, in humanity in the people around them

yeah... but you have to competent enough and able to survive and sustain yourself in your selflessness

because most people who do that just die

or at least get so close to it that they grow bitter and shut themselves in

depends on the resolution

at the lowest i'd say sustenance and spread of genes

stop the nihilism you twat

Also I just noticed this is the newsroom

it is a nihilistic question, figure it out yourself

because that's the only way you will accept the answer that does not kill you

you're on a good track there

also the right track to figure out why tribalism works the way it does

yes

( ( ( p a t h o l o g i c a l ) ) )

look it up

it's a thing

suggestion: "newsroom-commentary" as a room

Performance Art

Is done the aisle the the right

what about black liberals?

@RyeNorth If you redraw the lines along that right now you'll get a lot of Muslim territory in Europe plop up

On the other hand, if they had to self-sustain themselves then... they'd probably starve to death or go on raiding parties, which would lead to army retaliation

I'd like to not shuffled borders around on the map so much, I'd like a status quo to stay up for a few millenia if possible... this whole border pushing and enclave upgrading to colony shit has been the bane of our human existence since time immemorial

!agree

Haven't been here in a while...

Gods I hate these bloody transtrenders and other social constructionists going on about "biological sex is anti-science, but non-binary fanfiction is the realz!"

The TERFs are right about one thing: Biology. And that they have in common with the "Medicalist" / "Truescum" transwomen.

The issue of women's shelters being radicalisation hubs for feminism and political lesbianism is known, at least in our spheres. There was a great interview with Erin Prizzy some time ago about that very issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnUwxxijr3g&t=27s

Feminists go for the traumatized by rape-women. What I call "Phallophobia" is a common reaction in PTSD and c-PTSD patients who were raped. Like the war veteran who gets triggered by fireworks, despite consciously knowing it's just fireworks, but it's similar enough to the drums of war, has a fear/trauma response, due to the amygdala operating on lower resolution and has its signal strength increased. Thus "similar enough" stimuli trigger the response.
The same goes for some (not all) women with PTSD from rape. Their threat-detection extents from "that one penis" (tool of the crime) to "all penes" to "all men, because they have a respective penis". Not all of those women fall into utter misandry, for some are simply mothers who find themselves unable to bathe their little boys, but don't hate their boys for it.
However, it is an attack vector for the feminist, misandrist ideology.
(Also why transwomen, of whatever state of transition, cannot go to a female trauma-unit 😛 - they usually have almost entirely female only staff there for this very reason. It's not the traumatizeds' fault. But that logic error can only be addressed after the trauma-therapy)

(on a sidenote, if the man's reading this: I'll attempt to set up the substar again next year, and then annoy everyone in the upper echelons again. Fell out of there since the patreon debacle)

behaviour is yet another layer already

but plain physiological differences between the sexes are being denied by the social constructionist "transtrender" supporting feminists/Left. That is the one thing the TERFs oppose they are correct about.

I'll look up that old livestream then, tomorrow 😄
