@QTRBlackGarrett He's overrated.

@nerd_cookies So when I watch a movie in which the main protagonist is Female, I should be critiquing how much screen time the men get?

[creativeoctopus @creativekeith1]

@TheAliceSmith Except if there is enough of them, they will democratically change the laws to suit them.

Your solution doesn't go far enough.

@LBC @_JessicaDavies The way to solve cat-calling, is for men to develop the ability to read minds. If we can learn to read the mind of a woman, to know if she respects and finds you attractive, then the comment will be acceptable.

If she doesn't like you, you don't make the comment.

[creativeoctopus @creativekeith1]

@Notwithsitting @TristinHopper Exactly, but there aren't enough masculine men in the managerial class to make strong consequences the norm.

This is because the anti-capitalist left is not actually against people being crazy rich. They're against certain types of people being crazy rich.

Artists and athletes make sense to them because they've played music and sports and because their success can be explained by "luck" and "talent". Messi's wealth is not offensive to them because they understand Messi is much better at football than they are.

But when it comes to business, the anti-capitalist leftist has no framework for understanding why Jeff Bezos might be super rich since 99% of them have never ever created a product, business or service that was of value to other people. They've never taken entrepreneurial risk. They've never employed people and felt the burden of responsibility that comes with that. They've never pick up a business and given it a play in the way they've picked up a ball or a guitar.

They *literally* don't understand wealth creation. They think there is a fixed amount of money and the only thing a business does is split it unfairly.

It's why they rage at Elon and other successful business leaders. Because they genuinely don't understand why they're wealthy.

Also, and this is just as important, athletes and artists are disproportionately young, attractive, "diverse", left wing etc. Business leaders are "evil" middle aged white men whose success offends the average anti-capitalist leftist because they don't understand a) what it is they do and b) that Elon Musk has the same talent advantage on them as Messi does, it's just harder to measure.

@ConceptualJames Except all of them believe Muslims come first, so they will stay quiet about the ones you mention over non-muslims.

[creativeoctopus @creativekeith1]

@PhilMitchell83 The vast majority of men think the punishment for r*pe should be something rather permanent.

But reality doesn't matter to feminists looking to use shame to manipulate people.

@KateTigs_ @Knightwchmn Tragedy doesn't give you Carte Blanche to act like an asshole.

[creativeoctopus @creativekeith1]

@KateTigs_ @EndymionYT How much did that version of Supergirl sell, over the regular series over time?

[creativeoctopus @creativekeith1]

@MailaMariaRosa @adam_jsm10 @JoeyMannarino It is political. Assuming it's religious gives it the advantage it needs to take over countries. It's done this for 1400 years.

It's only native to Arabia. How do you think it spread so far?

I just left the ARC conference, where so many speakers lamented the decline of the West and attributed it to spiritual causes. I agree the West has a spiritual malady. It's called ingratitude. It's feeling entitled to the miracle all around us and thus miserable and empty.

"Is this all there is?" he texts from a lie-flat seat in the front on a 787 taking him across the world in a few hours. The message gets there fast because the plane is in near-constant contact with satellites that provide high-speed Internet literally anywhere and that you can't even outrun at 0.90 Mach.

We complain about spiritual decline while absolutely nothing prevents us from pursuing whatever spiritual path we want, or inviting people to come participate in one with us. There are zero impediments except our own willingness to see that we're in a living miracle and our own ingratitude.

Not one of the overwhelming majority of us will ever face actual food insecurity. We've never wondered if we'll need to boil our shoes to feed our children. We blame a world that gives us everything instead of realizing we're so entitled we won't even look for depth. We don't even have to get off the couch to find it, though maybe we should. It's in our phones if we'd just look.

I agree that there are elements of decline in the West, and that perhaps there are spiritual causes, but I think those start with each of us being unwilling to accept and be grateful for our inheritance and our incredible bounty.

I disagree that with the diagnosis, though, ultimately. We're doing amazing things people refuse to recognize, and we've been attacked by Western Marxist darkness until we've learned only to be critical about everything we have. We're not declining. We're being poisoned, and in our cushy ingratitude, we can refuse the tainted cup.

@gnolan12 The single scene in Rocky Balboa, where he talks to Paulie about how hard things are without Adrian isbetter than anything Seth Rogen has ever done.

[creativeoctopus @creativekeith1]

@Tig_Bo Stallone is a national treasure, and has been relevant for so many decades that he should be evaluated on the same level as actors like Clint Eastwood.

He's an American Legend.

Seth Rogen is a useless moron.

[creativeoctopus @creativekeith1]

@mtaibbi It's only fundamental to the point that the citizens also agree with this rule.

When you have an insurgency that aims to change every value of American society, unilaterally, standing on principle is only going to allow them to win.

[creativeoctopus @creativekeith1]

@CodyLibolt They don't need evidence.

[creativeoctopus @creativekeith1]

@MsMelChen Do they have the energy infrastructure to operate AC?!

[creativeoctopus @creativekeith1]

@aaron_p_edwards Sadly.

[creativeoctopus @creativekeith1]

@QTRBlackGarrett I think Gunn is so contrary, he's one of those people who thinks any reaction, is a good reaction.
