@insanefrog @MorEdge_Insight No, that‘s incorporated in the meme. The liquidation of patience is effected through force enabled by military equipment purchased from the US.

@AlexesNakamoto @PeterSchiff Characterising Peter’s position as ‘personal’ does not address its truth, nor does it invalidate it.

Good. I was once a supporter. The promise was tolerance; the reality was normalisation. What began as an effort to protect gay people from discrimination evolved into a broader project of redefining social norms around identity, sexuality, and eventually sex itself. Gender ideology was the logical next step, and its rise has turned me against the movement.

@FullSendNoSend @EdwardJDavey You have missed the point. The issue is principle, not circumstance. The question is rhetorical and highlights Davey’s hypocrisy in condemning Vance for conduct in which he himself previously engaged when it suited him politically.

@pete_rizzo_ 99.8% down, legend? Are you familiar with the concept of opportunity cost?

@Nell_Viking @cathynewman @Keir_Starmer @elonmusk If that is genuinely how you feel, why do you continue to support it with an active account? Why wait for the UK government to ban it for you when you can do it yourself?

This is a very poor attempt to reframe the actual issue: the unprecedented failure within Canadian society to protect children from a social contagion that exploits the normal uncertainty and emotional vulnerability associated with adolescence and identity formation. Rather than running interference for this insanity, why not prioritise truth over an identity rooted in vacuous empathy, and listen to the experiences of those who went through the very interventions you support and later escaped them with regret.

If you want to know whether you have been captured by an ideology, assess your willingness to listen seriously to detransitioners and to trans-identifying individuals who recognise that gender dysphoria is fundamentally a psychological condition, not a metaphysical transformation of sex.

There seems to be a peculiar belief among individuals like her that inconvenient truths can be invalidated by the emotions they provoke. The entire currency of their argument is not reason, logic, or coherence, but emotional reaction - as though expressed emotion were itself rebuttal enough.

You are now retreating from your original claim. Cleese’s point was about the absence of visible public opposition. You answered that the notion Muslims do not oppose radical Islam “is just not true,” implying such opposition is publicly evident.

But when asked to demonstrate that public opposition, you shifted instead to private internal belief: “not publicly protesting terrorism doesn’t mean they support it.” Those are different claims.

You substituted “public opposition” with private “disapproval” because the former is clearly absent while the latter is largely unfalsifiable.

Absence of public opposition does not prove support for terrorism, but sustained and widespread silence can reasonably be interpreted as social tolerance, acquiescence, or unwillingness to meaningfully confront the problem publicly. That was precisely Cleese’s point.

@JessaSonom7005 @jk_rowling I believe Rowling was quoting Owen. Both arguments are his, and, as you rightly point out, they are contradictory - which is precisely Rowling’s point.

[mjoh090 @mjoh090]

@ForeignPacifist @JohnCleese I have yet to see meaningful public opposition from non-radical Muslims toward radical Muslims at any significant scale. If such opposition exists, please point to it, because doing so would directly falsify the premise that broad silence prevails.

Strategy will be fine. Their primary source of capital raising has shifted to products like STRC. They can now raise large amounts of capital without a traditional fixed principal repayment obligation - or even a guaranteed obligation to maintain the yield itself - pushing much of the long-duration reflexive risk onto investors betting the capital-markets premium remains intact. If that premium collapses or capital inflows dry up, the downside is essentially absorbed by holders of the securities rather than by Strategy itself.

Narrative and too-good-to-be-true yields are blinding investors to the fact that they are entering into a Faustian pact - trading the certainty of redemption for the seduction of a perpetual yield that Strategy is under no obligation to maintain.

Strategy will likely be fine. Investors, not so much.

A male taking estrogen to induce breast growth is still a male developing breast tissue under estrogenic stimulation. Mechanistically, it remains gynecomastia-like development in a male body. In any case, sex is defined by reproductive organisation around gamete production, not breast morphology.

[mjoh090 @mjoh090]

Sex-based labels are sufficient. Trans women are undeniably male - that is precisely what the “trans” qualifier denotes: a male identifying as a woman, not a female becoming one. There is no conceptual confusion here. Females can therefore rightly maintain sex-segregated spaces on the basis of biological reality.

[mjoh090 @mjoh090]

To be clear, intersex conditions are variations in sex characteristics that do not conform to typical binary presentations of male or female bodies. However, this does not imply the capacity to produce both viable male and female gametes. In humans, biological constraints prevent this from occurring.

Intersex is therefore not a third sex. For a third sex to exist biologically, there would need to be a third type of gamete, and no such gamete exists. Even in a hypothetical case of true simultaneous hermaphroditism in humans, the most that could be said is that the individual embodied both sexes simultaneously - not that they constituted a third sex.

In any event, true simultaneous hermaphroditism in humans is functionally biologically impossible due to the genetic, hormonal, and developmental mechanisms that enforce sexual pathway specificity and impose physiological constraints. Consequently, there are no documented cases of a human producing both viable sperm and viable ova.

It’s not harmless. It’s dystopian. The willingness of some to embrace fantasy as reality is deeply troubling, because it reflects a growing indifference to whether something is true, so long as it produces the desired emotional response. It is yet one more frontal assault on the value of objective truth. Truth matters because only a shared commitment to it allows bad ideas to die in the arena of debate instead of people dying from the consequences of those bad ideas.

@zarahussain999 This is a pitiful attempt to sow division. This march is by the British, for the British, and that includes British Muslims who love British culture and view themselves as British.
