Can we all not agree that DOGE has been the single worst thing to happen to America in the last century?

So why TF would we want that here?

They want to go back to this time where women had no rights in society at all and were completely owned by their father and then their husband.

Eh? Where is this one coming from?

Right? Especially when some of the Red Pill’s most fundamental teachings say almost the exact opposite: that marriage was a transactional arrangement that women managed to Welch out of over the last two centuries, while continuing to nail men to the wall over if they failed to hold their end of the bargain.

Because when you really look at that transactional arrangement as it was used for centuries, almost all of women’s obligations to the contract have been rescinded, yet almost all of men’s obligations to the contract continue to be enforced. And violently so, by “daddy state”.

Now, how is this in any way fair? It isn’t. If this were any normal contract, a judge would throw it out in a heartbeat for being grossly biased in women’s favour.

And yet, women continue to scream “misogyny” every time men try to re-establish balance/equality in that arrangement, either by restoring women’s obligations, or by reducing their own obligations.

And that isn’t “equality” in any shape or form.

include being anti-feminist

Any man dedicated to true equality should now consider that term to be a pejorative, as it has become a thin veneer of legitimacy over an ocean of anti-male gender bigotry.

I am the true threat to feminism: I am an egalitarianist. because if there is one thing that throws feminists into frothing rages, it’s true equality.

When facing a fascist and authoritarian regime, it comes down to a very simple question:

Do you want to die on your knees, or do you want to die on your feet?

There really isn’t any kind of a third option, unless you want to turn traitor and become a collaborator. Which I don’t think you’re going to be given that option.

it would for sure lead to a Constitutional Crisis.

News flash: America is already in-play with multiple constitutional crises. PoTUS ignoring direct court orders, abducting and sending US citizens and legal residents to foreign gulags, and so forth.

Now granted, this would be just another one on top of a rapidly-growing pile. But so far the Orange Cheeto has already “won” on a number of points. Right now, the constitution is such in name only. It’s pretty much window dressing at this point. What makes you think that another crisis will actually discourage him from just doing whatever he wants?

America is no longer a democratic country. It is plunging full force into “failed state” status in an epic swan dive of authoritarian destruction.

Our current western culture is one of violent misandry.

Women are being released from almost all historical expectations and constraints, which is wonderful and good. This is actual progress in action, however lopsided and gender-supremacy-like it might be.

Meanwhile, men are still constrained by all the historical expectations set out for them, yet have been completely stripped of all benefits that have traditionally accrued with those expectations being met. And yet, we are still being violently nailed to the wall - invariably by women ignoring and/or outright demeaning us - when we fail to meet those expectations.

This massive asymmetry that men experience is what is creating subgroups of disaffected men. Because 1ncels don’t just leap out of the ground, fully formed -- they are a direct response to the unintended consequences of women trying to eat their cake and to have it as well. Think about that next time women refuse to date down, or demand a “666 man”, or expect the man to pay on the first date, or any other archaic and gender-bigoted expectation.

Doesn’t help me with the neutering of Manifest v2… I’m slowly migrating away from anything Chrome-based in order to maintain my digital safety.

I’m even dumping Vivaldi, which I see as the only decent non-Firefox browser, because they are unwilling to keep Manifest v2 or upgrade their own internal ad-blocking to uBlock Origin levels of effectiveness and user-customization.

Most of my family, including my Octogenarian parents, are die-hard NDP voters. We have always recognized the sky-high value of good socialist policies that directly benefit the working class that produce 99% of all economic output, but get only a fraction of that back as wages.

The problem here is that in this election, the choice comes down to picking a globalist, or becoming the 51st state.

And I don’t want to become the 51st state. So I am doing my best to ensure that PeePee doesn’t win. Trump’s lapdog is nothing more than a rage-farmer, gleefully pointing out what is wrong and who is to blame, but providing absolutely no effective solutions that actually help the working class. And when push comes to shove, he will roll over and open the gates to a Trump occupation of Canada.

We would love to still vote NDP, but the stakes are just far too high, so we’re voting for the “less evil” option in the Liberals.

This ignores that the inventor has less motivation to actually invent. Author have less motivation to create.

Tell me you haven’t read the entire book without actually saying you haven’t done much more than browse a few pages.

I have power of attorney over my parents, and have strict instructions to pull the plug if there isn’t a significant chance of a full or near-full recovery. They’re in their 80s now, both with DNR instructions, so any chance of a significant recovery (if they have an incident) is becoming ever more remote. Plus, they’re in the channel for MAID - Medical Assistance In Death.

So yeah. I’m their personal Grim Reaper. And they’re counting on me to be exactly that.

But they brought me into this world, and I will do my duty of care to walk them out of it with as much grace and dignity as possible.

Last time I had to put a pet down was a car I kept for 15 years

Cars are considered pets, now? (J/K)

Businesses were innovative long before patents and copyright became a thing. In fact, evidence shows that society was more innovative without patents and copyright than with.
