@Rach4Patriarchy Woman: 'He's a rapist'
Reason: He said something trad she didn't like
Me: 'Cool, next you'll accuse your DoorDasher of SA for forgetting the sauce'
False flags hit different when the motive is about him saying he doesn't like pineapple on pizza
Sue her into next week, king
@clareanneath I’ve been auditing this erasure and why the modern world misreads the work women actually did to hold society together:

@clareanneath Spot on. But we have to recognize that marriage culture didn't just "evaporate", the social infrastructure that supported it was stripped for parts. We erased the civic labor that once governed the small world, and now we’re surprised the foundation is too weak to hold a family.
@BrianAtlas Looking at this panel, I can't help but think of what the late, great Wilfed Brimley said,
"I didn't go to high school. I think that after you learn to read and write and do your numbers and flush the toilet behind yourself, you don't need no more schoolin'."

@ma1ybe Or...and hear me out...it might have more to do with social isolation, online dating dynamics, and delayed adulthood than with turning half the population into movie villains.
Cases like this highlight a real imbalance: an accusation can destroy a man’s life instantly, while a recantation years later rarely brings accountability or repair. The system is built to act fast on claims but slow to correct them, and that gap leaves lasting damage. Unfortunately it's worse in the family courts.
A united and democratic Korea would be an extraordinary outcome, but the Cato piece makes the hard part clear: public support in the South is falling, the North has abandoned reunification as a goal, and nuclearization has locked both sides into a dangerous status quo. The dream is still worth having, it’s just not something the peninsula is structurally close to right now.
@RobSchneider The same activist infrastructure can rapidly redeploy itself across different geopolitical issues. These infrastructures are well funded and organized.
The battlefield is changing fast. Small, low‑cost drones are making traditional infantry movement far more dangerous, and every military is trying to adapt. The challenge now is figuring out how ground forces operate safely in an environment where threats can come from above with almost no warning.
@CSIS@CSISMidEast@myacoubian The people who actually know how regional actors will respond aren’t posting threads on X. They’re in situation rooms with intelligence briefings. The rest of us are working with partial information at best.
