If you are a single woman you need to understand: you do not have male friends, you have suitors

Sometimes it's because they "just want sex", but more often it's because:

>men will develop romantic feelings for almost any woman they genuinely like being around

>suppressing… https://t.co/yF2qDqclFotwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
this is why the friendzone is such an ugly trap

A man being willing to accept that position is prima facie evidence of a lack of self-respect or a lack of honesty - usually both - & women can smell it on you, which makes you even less desirable than before
Ladies, the guys loudly getting mad about this tweet are lying to you (and want to fuck you)

Notice, they are *threatened* by this

I am causing a problem for them, I am in the way of something they want
This is the key to a viral tweet btw

the people who disagree with you can't just think you're stupid, you have to actually wobble some load-bearing psychological structure

they have to need to destroy you in the QTs

Why is it a load-bearing structure?

The men of course are Sneaky Fuckers, feigning feminine socialization to get close to women they otherwise couldn't

Women play along because admitting the truth would mean they'd have to reject a lot of "free" validation & attention & favors

If you've had this arrangement with another person - maybe for years - what kind of person would that make you?

Compare the specific accusations unleashed when you push this button: along with, hilariously, "projection"
I'm not going to call them out by name (because I have only love in my heart) but there are young men QTing this thread & tagging a specific young woman in their lives, to let her know how vehemently he disagrees with me

There is a better way, young brother

Ammon is a Good Shepherd, dealing with hirelings who do not own the sheep, who flee when the wolves come

His story says flatly what Jesus leaves implicit: the shepherd's job is to fight wolves Image
Jesus lays his life down for the sheep - meaning, presumably, getting eaten instead

He conquers the threat by being so abundant as to exhaust it

Death swallowed up in victory, leading captivity captive

(This saying baffled the Jews, who said he was mad & had a devil) Image
But Ammon is not inexhaustible - if he dies to give the wolves a meal, they will simply come back the next day, to a flock with no defender

So Ammon starts beating their skulls in with rocks Image

The Church has been running both of these playbooks in parallel since the 1950s, to different audiences

Now that everybody hears everything that is said in public (& the Church's public profile has risen as one of the last holdouts), that kind of targeting is no longer possible
The Church's tone is confusing to outsiders but we've been hearing both narratives, "the growing gulf between righteous & wicked" & "our deep love & respect for our friends of other faiths" since most of us were born
There's no contradiction there - both narratives are sincere - but their emotional valence to the general public is very different

It's not obvious what is the Christlike level of willingness to pick a fight

Formalized eugenics has always struck me the same as rationalists trying to build minmaxed synthetic religions

You don't know how the organic thing works

You don't even know which variables matter, let alone how to adjust them or how they interact or what the tradeoffs are
There's obviously a dumb version of this argument which is that bad matches are impossible or unimportant or don't happen at scale (they do)

But a psychically healthy person's sense of smell holds a more effective breeding algorithm than your data model
Obviously we are not psychically healthy

But if your beehive is dying, you'd be an idiot to try to solve the problem by trying to manually reverse engineer bees - the solution is to restore the health of the organic system

conservatives argue for a total ban on sex or violence because they're afraid to say what they really think (that some sex & violence is good, & some is bad) - & progressives are calling their bluff

There is no neutral, objective way to acculturate children Image
& they're obviously framing this to divide us against Christians but no Latter-day Saint parent wants the Bible banned

the progressive atheist who submitted this complaint got them to ban the Book of Mormon as well
recognize that what Governor Newsom is mocking is a conservative religious community's desperate attempt to maintain the pluralist compromises of American liberalism when their counterparty is child molesters

It would be one thing if these were bad or malicious decisions made by a tyrant, because you could kill him or try to persuade him - but there's no tyrant & not really even any decisions

Nobody's in charge, you are in a bus in the air over a gorge
For instance wokeness is not a conspiracy, nobody seriously intended for it to happen, it's just entropy - mindless machines following the contours of a single incentive gradient

BAP is right about blue-city crime - rich people don't like being surrounded by filth & violence, they certainly don't profit from it

but the self-reinforcing loop of social, legal, & financial disincentives to act has become insurmountable

Nothing can be done until the crash

I do not care about the Republican primary, it does not matter

but it's pretty wild to hear guys like this say things that only frogs could say a couple years ago
broke: our common Judeo-Christian heritage

woke: our common steppe blood memory
