@MeghanEMurphy The basic truth is that sex is for procreation, nothing more. It is not for fun, or sensation in itself. It is not even yours. It was given to you. The "sexual revolution" will die.
@IMPERATORAUS@CLT_Exam The Prussian Education Model was then feminized, ironically, and has transformed into a chimeric nightmare of absolutist fragility/safetyism, emotional reasoning over evidence, and us-versus-them/oppressor-oppressed framing (as per J. Haidt).
@shiningsweu "Yet his thought retained an enduring attraction to the world of German philosophy" which very much turned away from common sense realism as a reaction to empiricist scepticism (esp. Hume), in contrast to the direct realism of Acquinas and Reid.
@Sassafrass_84@Kwood3020 Posting or re-posting edited video to convey a false message will not help your cause. Very damaging to do that, unless that is your true objective? @grok is this post truthful?

@MarkMilke@JustinTrudeau@MarkJCarney I'm sure Greece, Rome and Jerusalem have played little to no part in the creation of our political values, law, institutions, and self conception. Just like Mao, Old Ideas, Old Customs, Old Culture, and Old Habits are to be disregarded as we approach Net (Year) Zero.
@Tablesalt13 Are conservative women something like proxies for legitimacy or credibility in an excessively progressive political environment, where strong male voices would be summarily dismissed?
"The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didnโt exist." (The Usual Suspects). So it is with "progressives," who act as though their views aren't political artifacts at allโbut neutral, self-evident truths. This is an incredibly arrogant and contemptible position, because it smugly purports to place their ideology beyond contestation, debate, or challenge.

@JCCFCanada "Hate" narratives deserve rigorous scrutiny of incentives. The Southern Poverty Law Center case in the U.S. is a particularly acute example of why.
Canada's stronger liberal consensus, multiculturalism policies, and thinner conservative intellectual resistance (vs. US critiques of race/identity politics) made universities, media & bureaucracy softer targets for critical theory & cultural left ideas. Less pushback enabled accelerated infiltration.
Ontario conservatives really outdid themselves againโignoring the culture war in the schools for years. Melanie Bennett drops the FOI bombshell and theyโre wondering why kids now see everything through a Marxist oppressor/oppressed lens and think Ontario/Canada is irredeemably colonial evil. Masterful long game, guys. Truly elite foresight.
Liberals demonize conservatives because unapologetic conservatism breaks progressive cognitive frames (e.g., DEI), which occlude opposites like division, merit erosion & exclusion. This exposes the Jungian shadowโenvy, rage, intoleranceโvia Gestalt-like flip, shattering moral superiority. Projection follows: conservatives become "evil" to restore the frame & hide flaws.
