This is the first long-form piece I've written in a year:
Why this topic? Because, for starters, 250,000 girls were raped. Unimaginable and appalling though that is��the reality is much worse:
@ConceptualJames Terrific detailed explanation, thanks! Very helpful to have something this comprehensive to send to people who don't know much about this subject.
@DisaffectedPod This is tragic. The rot is visible everywhere, but must be especially distressing to people like you who live areas that were, once upon a time, delightful. It's like death by a thousand cuts.
@ConceptualJames The icing on the disaster cake that is Canada is the suite of censorship laws the Liberals under Carney are steamrollering through with their illegitimate majority, so we'll be at risk of being visited by the police if we post "hateful" commentary.
The average Westerner gets stuck on fairness and “What if the roles were reversed?” But that misses the framing trick, and the whole purpose is to use pathos to mobilize rescuers to "do the work" of left activism.
A left-oriented cultural frame has already pre-assigned who counts as victim and who counts as guilty before the facts are examined. The frame is pervasive because activists have installed it in media, education, HR, mandatory DEI training, etc.
In Karpman Drama Triangle terms, the frame locks in the roles first: victim, persecutor, rescuer. The goal is to activate rescuers, here the police, to “do the work” of left praxis. Once those roles are set, evidence and fairness arguments arrive too late. The rescuer has already been morally mobilized to defend the victim as framed by activists.
Pity sells this frame by disarming logos with pathos. The story is presented as suffering to be relieved, which moves the audience into pathos before logos. Pity, guilt, and moral urgency soften resistance and make the frame feel self-evidently humane.
Once the frame is accepted emotionally, the rescuer experiences himself as protecting the vulnerable. The political frame bypasses logos and installs itself as conscience. Reality is inverted with this left frame. Attack becomes compassion, punishment becomes protection, and ideological enforcement becomes moral duty. The purpose of coercion is also inverted: it is no longer experienced as an attack on the accused, but as rescue of the victim.
@SteveHemstreet@Sargon_of_Akkad You know-nothing: do you have any actual Iranians - those who are not religious fanatics- in your feed? They are cheering the US and Israel on, and you should be too. Follow @MarkChangizi for starters, an actual Iranian.
@DisaffectedPod This happened to me a few days ago in a phone call with a cellphone company CSR. Every time I answered a question during the verification process, he replied, "Perfect!"
@DisaffectedPod My heart goes out to you. Shredder's trajectory is the same as was that of our dearly loved cat Jade. It's so difficult to see them declining, and to know that kidney disease can't be cured. 😩 He'll leave a cat-shaped hole in your heart. 🩵
New research indicates that fathers build bonds best with their children (and craft secure attachment in them) by "destablizing the child" in a "safe environment. Fathers in the study had a unique ability to make their children laugh and therefore create more perceived safety for the child which led to stronger attachment. Mothers made children feel safe too, usually with repetition and soothing, but the laughing and playing did not make the children as attached as it did when fathers performed it.
Several things jump out from this at me:
First, a father who is relaxed enough to laugh and play indicates a safe environment. Fathers are biologically the providers of safety, so if dad is relaxed, the world must truly be safe. Children may be picking up on this.
Second, being worthy of a father's time and attention is a huge marker for kids. A father's attention may actually mean more in many cases, as we've seen in other studies. The bond with mom is equally as important, but sometimes the bond with mom is taken for granted, where the bond with dad is taken as remarkable due to perceived other demands on his time.
What this means: Dads, you've got to be playing with your kids. As silly and disruptive as possible. They need this from you. It's one of the strongest ways they can bond to you.

@GadSaad It is crazy-making for those of us Canadians who see Canada for what it has sadly become, a socialist nightmare with a globalist leader who we didn't vote for, anti-Trump hysteria, exorbitant taxes and floods of non-integrating Muslim immigrants. Disastrous. 😩
@mrsanonymousme @TABYTCHI Delusional take. See the studies that show that children in care have elevated cortisol levels all day, which harms their developing brains, + they learn that the world isn't a safe place because the person who they are biologically hardwired to need has institutionalized them.
OVER THE FUCKING DEATH CULT...
As a gay female, I am fucking DONE watching transgender ideology devour the next generation of same-sex attracted kids like a slow-acting neurotoxin.
This isn’t “affirmation.”
This is precision-engineered erasure, targeting the most vulnerable brains at their most fragile developmental window.
Puberty isn’t a disease.
It’s the neurological crucible that wires adult sexuality, consolidates identity, and resolves the vast majority of childhood gender distress naturally...80-90% desistance rates in every long-term study when kids are simply allowed to mature without interference.
But this ideology interrupts that process with puberty blockers...GnRH agonists that freeze the brain’s pruning and myelination, starving developing neural pathways of the hormonal flood they evolved to need.
The result?
Permanent cognitive flattening, bone density collapse, sexual dysfunction, infertility, and a lifetime tethered to synthetic hormones just to mimic basic function.
And who gets funneled fastest into this medical pipeline?
Gay kids.
Especially young lesbians...tomboys who would grow up to love women, now told their discomfort with means they’re actually boys.
Rapid-onset gender dysphoria explodes in adolescent girls clustered in social contagion networks, dopamine-driven TikTok echo chambers where identity is performative and distress is currency.
The adolescent brain, still under construction until the mid-20s, is exquisitely vulnerable to social reward loops.
This ideology weaponizes that vulnerability, hijacking the same reward circuitry that drives anorexia or cutting contagions, but with scalpel and syringe instead of starvation.
This is homophobic conversion therapy in progressive drag: convince gay kids their same-sex attraction is a symptom of “wrong body,” carve them up to make them straight-passing, then call it liberation.
It’s not compassion...
It’s a sadistic bait-and-switch that preys on autistic kids, traumatized kids, gay kids, and leaves them sterilized, anorgasmic, and drowning in regret when the ideological high wears off and the neurological damage sets in permanently.
We fought for the right to exist as homosexuals...unapologetic, unaltered, same-sex attracted adults.
Not to watch our legacy be used as camouflage for a cult that medically lobotomizes the next wave of gay youth before they ever get the chance to know who they really are.
This ideology isn’t life-affirming.
It’s a death cult in rainbow packaging...sterilizing the very children it claims to save.
As a lesbian, I will burn this fucking lie to the ground with every breath I have.
Protect gay kids.
Let them grow up homosexual, not harvested.
