  • Oh yeah, classic case of “the dream of the oppressed is to become the oppressor”. I went through that subreddit a while back and was shocked to see how toxic and fucked up a mirror they’d made of incels.

    Lots of advice on abusive relationship tactics and how to be effectively controlling and manipulative. It read like a bunch of sociopaths trying to outdo the redpillers. I sympathized somewhat because I got the sense that many of them were victims of abuse and considered it a way to ensure they wouldn’t be victimized again.

    Serious “fight fire with fire” vibes.

    Edit: Looks like that subreddit is dead now, and they’ve moved on to another platform. Maybe they were risking a ban due to all the rabid transphobia.

    Subscribers: 255,604

    Sub Description: Effective dating strategy for women that know what they want and prefer to be able to take control of their dating lives. Also includes strategies to maintain a relationship that benefits you. Plus tips on how to deal with some of the negative strategies from men that you encounter.

    Totally normal approach to dating. A relationship is a zero-sum game for domination and control. So why not play to win?

    Really disappointed I didn’t see more complaining about the current meta. It’s totally pay-to-win.










  • Are we debating the moral merit

    No, you’re bringing morality into this when it doesn’t belong. You’re confusing your feelings of moral justification for strategic justification.

    Whether or not there’s a substantial moral difference between invading a neighboring country and invading one on the other side of the planet is irrelevant in this scenario. If a geopolitical rival provides that invaded country with the means to launch missile strikes into your territory, the response will be the same.

    Your tendency to base major decisions on feelings of moral outrage or self righteousness are not how war planning is or should be done. It reeks of the condescending assumption that it is the job of America to be world police, and punish the wrongdoers.

    He just made a classic blunder, and got his hand caught in the cookie jar.

    I’m sorry to have to break it to you, but it doesn’t matter one iota whether or not Officer America thinks Putin has been caught being naughty. Your desire to punish him will always have to be weighed against the possibility of nuclear Armageddon.

    I felt like that had to be said, because I think you psychos are still likely to think it’s worth it.

    Marketing lessons, lmao. You certainly have the intellectual depth of a puddle, my guy.

    No one gives a shit about how much appeal our posting has for you. We’re not trying to sell you anything. We’re not even trying to cajole you into being a little less anti-intellectual and wilfully ignorant.

    We’d rather just slap you down with a concise well cited historical source, just to make it abundantly clear to everyone else that you’re an ignorant intellectually lazy non-entity who has no business getting involved. Stick to your monosyllabic social media communications, replying to the latest Facebook memes, and saying all the classic lines from Reddit.

    We’re not trying to get you to change, honestly I think you’re much more entertaining this way. Only semi-literate and clearly too big for your boots. Please continue.


  • No you come to social media to jump into threads about complex topics like history, philosophy, and politics…and then engage only thru simple thought-terminating cliches.

    When someone quotes a relevant passage from a history book, you arrogantly dismiss it for being completely inappropriate for a “social media” site. What is appropriate here, of course, is you weighing in on these complex topics with the correct form of communication – an incoherent series of monosyllabic words strung together.

    Now that is productive communication.

    I wish you luck on your continuing mission to convince yourself that you’re the articulate master of communication here, actually.
