This is true. The *constant* lies about #GamerGate were a massive red pill for me. My attitude of default mild skepticism toward most media transformed into one of default distrust. I take *most* media reports with as much faith as emails telling me I’ve inherited millions …
This is KEY.
Woke / Critical Social Justice isn’t well-meaning and it isn’t honestly mistaken.
It is EVIL and needs to be understood as such. Some people might be duped by its moralistic rhetoric at first, but no one stays in it unless they *enjoy* hurting people.
This is the main commodity Woke / Critical Social Justice sells, after all: a license to hurt people without consequence and with a deep feeling of moral self-righteousness.
Pleasure in hurting the weak and defenseless is an irresistible drug to some human types.
The Woke hate you and enjoy hurting you. Nothing gets them off like inflicting pain in moral self-righteousness.
They are the grandchildren of the witch-hunter and the inquisitor, the children of the Obergruppenführer and the Commissar, builders of Gulag and Konzentrationslager.

As you can tell from the anecdote, two lines forbid people with covid from going in, but the vaccinated line is indifferent to whether you have covid or not. All that matters there is your vaccination status.
If you are vaccinated, it is fine to carry in a live case of covid.
So, to get in to the event, you can either (a) not have covid or (b) have covid but be vaccinated.
Does this double standard make sense? How is it just? Or sane?
Omni-Man vs Puri Puri Prisoner (S-class 17)
Winner: Omni-Man
Puri Puri Prisoner is very strong, fast, and durable, but he just isn’t in Omni-Man’s weight class. He’s likely more comparable to Monster Girl.
Omni-Man vs Tanktop Master (S-class 16)
Winner: Omni-Man, probably
Tanktop Master is also extremely strong, fast, and durable, but not in Omni-Man’s weight class. However, TTM is a highly skilled combatant. It is possible he could defeat Omni-Man using e.g. holds, but unlikely.
Trans ideology is a legacy of Descartes — and Kant — in that it holds there is some kind of sexed “spirit” or ghost that lives inside the sexed body, and can be sexed oppositely to the body.
One claims to be a woman if one’s “ghost” is “female” — even though one’s body is male.
No one, as far as I am aware, has ever come ever close to giving a coherent account of what it MEANS to say “My living body is male, but I am not male. I am in reality a female, despite my factical embodiment.”
What could this possibly mean? One has a sexed “spirit”?
It isn’t clear, if one’s body is male, what it could even mean to say that one is “really” female. What is female? Not one’s body, by definition. What, then?
One’s soul/spirit/ghost in the machine? Is that what an “identity” refers to? Really?
Woke repudiates principles. It must, because the same act has a different moral value depending on the identities of the agent and patient. This is always, necessarily, arbitrary. But arbitrary rules always foster tyranny, which depends on such arbitrary rules.
Woke — and Woke compatible doctrines, like CRT — reject Kant’s universalizability test of moral maxims. Because Woke maxims can’t pass it, no more than other racist or bigoted maxims — their ESSENCE is their exclusion of the demonized outgroup.
Universalizability is one key test of a moral maxim: can we make a particular maxim a universal principle?
The claim is that an “objective morality” is “any moral system with a non-mind-dependent standard.” And it is trivially easy to select such a standard.
The problem is that the SELECTION is subjective.
So I can claim that morality is based on "how much the nearest feather weighs.”
That would yield objective, indeed, measurable standards.
But it wouldn’t really, because the objective standard is erected arbitrarily and subjectively.
LAPD release shocking footage of shooting that killed teen bystander
Watch it before YT bans it.
I saw some dimwit going on about how shooting was overreaction to a guy with a bike lock, but it was not. This guy was severely beating random, innocent people. Shooting was definitely warranted. A bike lock used so is a deadly weapon.
