Why do you think women waited for the Industrial Revolution before fighting for the right to vote and work?
You think they didn't SEE those jobs? Coal mines were there. War was there. Digging ditches, building railroads, dying at 30 from hard labor…that was there for THOUSANDS of years.
They were QUIET. No protests. No "we want equal rights to work in the mines."
Then suddenly... factories. Offices. Chairs. AC. Typewriters. Safe, clean, indoor work that men invented with machines.
NOW it's "We deserve to work! We deserve to vote!" we are oppressed.
Feminism wasn't a random awakening.
It was a planned movement timed perfectly for when being a man stopped meaning hard labor and started meaning privilege.
They didn't want equality with men. You wanted equality with the REWARDS men created AFTER they did all the suffering
Why are so many women sooo angry? They won. They got everything they wanted. Men have never been doing this badly, and women have never been doing this well. They make more, they have the majority of jobs, they are the majority of college graduates, (UCLA undergrad is 60% female), they make more money, have much lower rates of suicide, addiction, and alcoholism, and live longer. They won: they took over all men-only spaces, they took over the Boy Scouts, they ended men’s bathrooms, they can fly fighter planes and be in combat. Marriage is optional, divorce is no-fault, they win 99% of the custody battles, they can control fertility at will, and they can’t get drafted. We are all living in the female future they promised.
When Thor, Tony and Steve teamed up, it was three old friends with a lot of history, going into battle for the last time. It meant something. This is a bunch of random female characters who have mostly never interacted with or even met each other until this moment. It's cringe because it's unearned, inauthentic and forced into the movie simply to provide a cheap girlpower moment.
Chesterton on how the Crusades were a response to Muslim aggression:
“When people talk as if the Crusades were nothing more than an aggressive raid against Islam, they seem to forget in the strangest way that Islam itself was only an aggressive raid against the old and ordered civilization in these parts. I do not say it in mere hostility to the religion of Mahomet; I am fully conscious of many values and virtues in it; but certainly it was Islam that was the invasion and Christendom that was the thing invaded.”

The Most Destructive Intellectual Project of the Twentieth Century.
The Frankfurt School. You should know what it was, what it built, and why you are still living inside it.
1. The Institute for Social Research was founded in Frankfurt in 1923 and relocated to Columbia University in 1934 when Hitler came to power. The civilization they had decided to dismantle gave them refuge when another tried to kill them. They spent the next five decades producing the theoretical infrastructure for that dismantling. Western civilization itself was the problem: reason, the Enlightenment, the family, tradition, authority. Not reformed. Dismantled.
2. They called it Critical Theory – and the name is the program. Everything is to be criticized; nothing is to be built. In The Dialectic of Enlightenment (1944), Adorno and Horkheimer argued that Western reason — the reason that produced Newton and the rule of law — contained the seeds of Auschwitz. Not that reason had been misused, but that reason itself, taken to its conclusion, produces the death camp. This was not a critique of institutions. It was an indictment of the civilization itself.
3. Adorno gave them the psychological weapon. The Authoritarian Personality (1950) classified conservatism, religious faith, patriotism, and the traditional family not as political positions but as symptoms of a proto-fascist personality. If you believe in the nation or the father’s authority, you are pre-fascist. The opponent was no longer wrong – he was sick. You don’t argue with a pathology. You treat it.
This made dialogue impossible. You don’t persuade someone who is wrong; you diagnose someone who is sick. Politics becomes therapy, and disagreement becomes pathology.
4. Marcuse gave them the political weapon. Repressive Tolerance (1965) argued that tolerating wrong ideas is itself oppression. True tolerance therefore requires suppressing intolerant ideas. The left decides which ideas are intolerant. Everyone else is silenced – not despite tolerance, but "in its name." Censorship dressed in the vocabulary of liberation.
5. The generation that read Marcuse at Columbia, Berkeley, and Yale went on to run universities, media, foundations, NGOs, content moderation departments, and the EU regulatory apparatus. They implemented the argument sincerely because they had been taught it as philosophy. This was the Frankfurt School’s greatest achievement: it produced true believers.
6. French Theory picked up the tools and made them aesthetic. Foucault made the critique of power literary. Derrida made the critique of meaning philosophical. Deleuze made the critique of identity elegant. A political program became a cultural sensibility. You can argue with a program. A sensibility is in the air you breathe. By the time these ideas reached the American campus through the French conduit, they were no longer ideology. They were the water. The fish did not know they were wet.
7. A civilization stands on three pillars: truth exists and is accessible to reason; good is distinguishable from evil; and there is an inheritance worth transmitting. The Frankfurt School attacked all three – systematically and with considerable intellectual sophistication. It produced a generation that knows how to deconstruct and has forgotten how to build. That sees power everywhere and beauty nowhere.
The ultimate achievement was to make destruction feel like progress. Every inherited institution became suspect; every constraint became oppression; every act of preservation became reactionary. Deconstruction became the default, while construction became something that needed to justify itself.
The answer is not another theory.
It is the thing the Frankfurt School most feared: the builder who simply builds, the scientist who follows the evidence, the father who transmits what was transmitted to him.
The deconstruction machine runs on the assumption that nothing is worth building.
Prove it wrong.
Tell the truth, have courage, and build.

One of the biggest psy-op movies ever made to make Christians bad:
> No context about the historical background
> Doesn't show the Islamic imperialism and slaughter of unarmed Christians
> Balian was a noble man married to Greek Byzantine Maria Komnene
> Guy de Lusignan and Reynald de Chatillon are portrayed as archetypal fanatical villains
> The film largely ignores Eastern Orthodox Christians in the kingdom and reduces complex politics to good vs. bad factions
> The Battle of Hattin (1187) is shown, but details like army sizes are off (Saladin's force wasn't 200,000)
> The siege of Jerusalem gets some tactical elements right, but Balian's motivational speeches about shared holy sites and "the people matter more" are anachronistic, medieval leaders didn't speak like 21st-century secular humanists (LMAO)
> The Crusader states weren't just "Western colonizers" this is pseudo-history and erases thousand of Greco-Roman history
> Literally pseudo-history, not based on primary sources, movie shows Christians (especially Catholic clergy, Templars) as greedy, hypocritical, violent fanatics in a drab and Muslims, led by the noble and merciful Saladin, come across as more civilized, tolerant, and justified in reclaiming Jerusalem (LMAO). Literally PSEUDO-history.
> Balian delivers speeches promoting religious tolerance. For example "What is Jerusalem worth?", and the idea that extremists on both sides are the problem, but the weight OF COURSE falls more on Christian "extremism". Do I really need to explain why Holywood depicts "Bad Christianity" and "Good Islamism" duality?
Disgusting pseudo-history.
One of the biggest psy-op movies ever made to manipulate the common thought of the uneducated masses who never opened a book in their lives.
And it seems it worked perfectly for their political games.
Have you noticed that you never see movies about the Byzantine period, only about early Rome, and then they skip about 1,000 years? You never see Hollywood depict what was happening in the Eastern Roman Empire, where the sciences, art, education, and theology literally flourished. For some reason, they won’t show you how the Greeks played an important part in shaping the history of that period; they won’t show you the real reasons the Crusades started, that was the response to non-stop aggression from Muslims who were enslaving Christian Europeans, or what happened with the Fourth Crusade. Also, they won’t show you how Anatolia was Islamized, what happened to Greece during the Ottoman period, or how North Africa was Arabized and Islamized.
Interesting, isn’t it? Food for thought. You should start digging.
@Inevitablewest@BillboardChris They are only allowed to hate straight, White men, so they do like dumb robots.
This is their programming, like NPCs in a video game.
Asmongold Drops the Marriage Stat Democrats Don't Want You to See
"The Democratic Party is represented by a bunch of BPD single women. The strongest voting block for the Democratic Party is single young women."
"If only people that were married voted, we would never have a Democrat get elected ever."
"Never married women 24% Republican, 72% leftist. This is the largest gap besides being gay. The reason why is they don't have a man to take care of them, so instead they need the state to do the same thing."
