ASSEMBLYWOMEN 🏺

Assemblywomen by the Athenian playwright Aristophanes is a fascinating comedy that recounts what happens when Women take over the reins of power. It’s also an unexpected commentary on the perils of Socialism

This Thread was first posted by Mencius Moldbugman 🧵

The play was written by Aristophanes to criticise what he saw as the evolution of the state towards empowering effeminate men while displacing traditionally strong and masculine leadership.

Giving women power was a commentary on the effeminacy of the men in charge of Athens.

The play begins with a focus on the main character Praxagora (which means something like “female speaker in parliament”).

Praxagora is the wife of ageing Athenian citizen Blepyrus whom we shall meet later. Why is she in the streets of Athens at night dressed in men’s clothes?

The African Human Rights Activist Who Pozzed Poland 🇵🇱

“The sordid and twisted tale of Simon Mol: The African Human Rights and anti-racist Activist who literally pozzed Poland’s leftists”

This Thread was first posted by the User Mencius Moldbugman 🧵

Born in Cameroon, Simon sought asylum in Poland in 1999 when he claimed he was being persecuted for his journalism on human rights. Before that he moved round several African countries seeking asylum. He claimed to have been arrested in 1996 for exposing government corruption.

In actual fact, It was later revealed that this “persecution” was entirely fabricated. He was never jailed, and his mother admitted that he had actually worked in a refinery. The only thing he had ever written about was some short articles about football.

RACIST ART HOES

“Racism - so hot right now.” As the Right continues to grow in influence its vitalistic energy and avant-garde edge have begun to attract Women to the movement; hipster art hoes from New York to London. They may not totally ‘get it’ but it has ‘really cool vibes’

JUDEABOOS

As ‘knowledge of Jewish group behaviour and achievements’ has grown on the Right, some have taken to insisting that Nationalists should emulate the Jews, who they now idolise, as far as possible - to gain the ‘upper-hand’ for themselves by ‘copying Jewish behaviours’
