You are responsible for the orders you don't disobey.

If women were competent enough to be trusted with any amount of authority, they wouldn't have had to nag their way into voting privileges.

@cyrilXBT It sure will be impressive when these models he's talking about are available to the public, becasue I, with access to no experts, catch AI making up pure bullshit 1/3 of the time I ask it anything about anything.

@el_rachel_el @Pirat_Nation Really says a lot about the quality of women out there, and how much 'real connection' is actually on offer.

[Patrick @DeepFriedPat]

@Pirat_Nation Good luck with that.

No male turns to something like this when there are remotely halfway decent women available. Treating symptoms.

[Patrick @DeepFriedPat]

@AntiWokeMemes If he's talking about women, then yes. Otherwise it's an insane thing to say.

[Patrick @DeepFriedPat]

@Pirat_Nation Hell yeah! Recompiled games are the future, and I can't wait for it.

@ZeldaZealot Almost as if they have to employ false advertising to get people to pay money for propaganda. 🤔

Download the offline installer of any of your games on GOG, save it to a disc and it's yours forever.

You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought.

@NewRightPoast No.

The parasite does not want parasites dealt with. They don't want the mess cleaned up because, one way or another, they are some part of it. That's all.

Pretending as if they mean well is evil.

@ShadowofEzra These cameras are a very real and serious crime against the public at large. Tearing them down is a moral duty, and the people responsible for their installation can't be allowed to get away unpunished.

@Kristof_Poland The French Enlightenment was mostly men who had been sexually groomed as minors by French noblewomen. The minority that weren't had mistresses who were French noblewomen 'estranged' from their husbands.

The Anglo-Scottish Enlightenment – the real antidote to Rousseau and Voltaire

The French Enlightenment and the Anglo-Scottish Enlightenment happened simultaneously, in the same century, reading the same books, arguing about the same questions. They reached completely opposite conclusions. One produced the Declaration of Independence and the American Constitution. The other produced the guillotine. This is the most important civilizational fork in modern history.

1. The French Enlightenment begins with the assumption that human beings can be improved by reason – that if you strip away the corrupting institutions of Church, tradition, and inherited authority, the natural goodness underneath will organize itself into a just society. This sounds like progress. It is a fantasy with a body count. Every attempt to implement it has required, at some point, a Committee of Public Safety to handle the people who turned out not to be naturally good enough.

2. The Anglo-Scottish Enlightenment begins with the opposite assumption: human beings are what they are, not what they could be if properly enlightened. Hume grounds morality in human nature as it actually operates – sympathy, habit, sentiment, the slow accumulation of social trust. Smith shows that self-interest, properly channeled, produces collective benefit without a planner. Neither man is building a utopia. Both are building with the actual material available.

3. Burke is the direct refutation, written in real time. He published Reflections on the Revolution in France in 1790 – before the Terror, predicting it precisely – because he understood that institutions are not obstacles to human flourishing, they are its precondition. They contain accumulated wisdom — the knowledge of the dead — that cannot be recovered once destroyed. Pull society apart to improve it and you don’t get the General Will. You get Robespierre.

4. The American founders read Burke, Hume, Smith, and Montesquieu – the Frenchman who looked at England and understood what France was missing. They built a system that takes human nature as given — self-interested, power-hungry, tribal — and constructs institutions to contain those tendencies rather than assume they disappear once the right people are in charge. Checks and balances are not a design flaw. They are what you build when you don’t believe in philosopher-kings.

5. 1776 versus 1789. Same Enlightenment, same century, same vocabulary of liberty and reason. One produces a constitutional republic that has survived two and a half centuries of stress, civil war, and upheaval. The other produces, in sequence: the Terror, Napoleon, 1848, the Commune, and eventually — via Marx, who was a Frenchman in spirit if not in birth — the entire catastrophe of the twentieth century. The difference was not intelligence or intention. It was the starting assumption about human nature. Get that wrong and everything that follows is wrong with it.

6. The guillotine is not the Revolution’s failure. It is its logical conclusion. If man is naturally good and the system is corrupt, then whoever seizes the system in the name of natural goodness is licensed to do anything. The General Will cannot be wrong. Those who resist it are not opponents – they are enemies of nature itself.

7. The real antidote to Rousseau and Voltaire was never a better French philosopher. It was a different civilizational tradition – one that builds with human beings as they are; that treats inherited institutions as repositories of wisdom rather than obstacles to progress; that distributes power rather than concentrating it in whoever currently claims to know the General Will. That tradition was built in Edinburgh, London, and Philadelphia. It is currently under sustained assault — from exactly the same ideas, in exactly the same form, with exactly the same confidence — that Burke watched demolish France in 1789. He was right then. He is right now.

@RoyalSerf These women are real, they are everywhere, and this was made by and for such women.
