I remember some southern wine mom once told me all this global warming stuff was a scam to keep us as feudal serfs and I said huh idk I think it's about the climate changing and now I'm like actually maybe she was right
Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict — a moment to reflect on the devastating impact of conflict around the world, with women and girls often most at risk of harm.
The Duchess of Edinburgh has long been a passionate advocate for the vital role that women play in peacebuilding and drawing attention to the issue of conflict-related sexual violence that continues to be perpetrated around the world.
Her Royal Highness has met survivors, peacebuilders, medical professionals and changemakers across the globe — from the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Kosovo, South Sudan, Lebanon, Chad and beyond.
Through listening, learning and lending her voice, The Duchess continues to shine a light on the courage of survivors and the urgent need for global action.
As someone high on Big 5 openness, this is an ugly monstrosity of a building that only exists because Barak Obama's brain is a solidified mass of seething resentment and stupid shibboleths left over from 1968 when this was "challenging" and "thought-provoking"
"Hope and change" as a slogan from a guy who had a building erected in his name that's just Boston City Hall (designed in 1962) or the J Edgar Hoover Building (finalized design in 1964)
The “conservative” group planning this protest (Humans First) forgot to censor their website’s privacy policy, which shows they’re using The Action Network, which is basically ActBlue for nonprofits.
Don’t fall for the psyop, folks.
Bottom line when it comes to art and design the American left are circle-jerking consensus worshippers who eat their own shit. They celebrate ugliness on purpose to reinforce their own in-group preferences.
It’s a side effect of high OCEAN trait agreeableness.
Bottom line is that when it comes to art and design the American right are hicks. They have either bad or retrograde taste in almost everything.
Anything new or challenging or innovative or relevant to the zeitgeist terrifies them.
It's the curse of low Big 5 openness.
Following a very difficult meeting with my accountant, I just found out how much it is going to cost me in terms of an "exit tax" to leave Quebec and Canada. No human being in a free society should have their hard-earned money stolen in this manner. I'm genuinely numb. I'm speechless.

this didn't "happen", we caused it
first, children disappeared from daily life
most women turn 30 without ever holding a baby (they don't have siblings or cousins, and young babies have been removed from shared spaces), never changed a diaper or watched one up close.
you cant want what you've never seen
second, we killed the single income.
the average family needs both parents working just to get to the end of the month, so raising a family well went from hard to something practically impossible (2-3 months of maternity leave should be considered a crime against humanity).
then schools and media, the whole cathedral, all pushed towards the same direction in a systematic brainwashing effort: pushing every girl at the career, motherhood turned into that despicable thing you settle for when the better options run out, "a smaller life". nothing worth desiring, and if you do you must be ostracised
social media just finished the job.
presented childfree as freedom and ideal life, filmed the worst four seconds of a mothers day and called it a warning or "here's motherhood"
and underneath all of it, we removed people from history
no ancestors you owe anything, no descendants you're building for, just one atomic self detached from any sense of continuity. one life with no purpose other than its own selfish goals
especially for western people who have been taught that their ancestors are the most evil humans who ever existed
someone with no past and no future has no reason to see themselves as part of history, and everything they do revolves around their own pleasure
why would you carry something you were raised to be ashamed of?
so a quarter of women raised in captivity selecting for civilizational suicide becomes inevitable
the idea that this was a conscious choice is delusional.
we are the first species in history to get everything it ever wanted: safety, medicine, abundance, ninety good years, and the result is suicide.
everything else alive still manages to reproduce through famine and plagues. we got paradise and stopped
anyone shutting off their own survival drive with no threat in sight is definitionally suicidal and that's where we are now
growing up is realizing a lot of immigration liberality is some elite trying to kill off the underclass with a new underclass and the native underclass reacting to that. a lot of people prefer to have a mexican maid who will work to the bone because her counterfactual is starvation or returning to whatever hell she escaped, over having servants of similar cultural and closer economic backgrounds who might refuse to work in conditions and at times that dont make as apparent their socioeconomic distinction - they would have to look the other in the eyes as an equal. an added benefit is that they get to marinate in the idea that they are helping the mexican maid escape a horrible fate by employing her, which allows them to celebrate their own virtue with every work assignment. i believe this deeply on my most cynical days, apparently today.
Can you believe Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of lentils? Seems a bit far fetched to me…
Boomers: look at all the wonderful food diversity brings!
