Some Baptist somewhere is already writing a 12 part thread explaining how the bear is worshipping a graven image and is going to hell.

"In the book 1984, which many women will be unfamiliar with because it doesn't contain any werewolf rape"
One of the amusing things about women is that one will walk past a conversation that isn't about her, has nothing to do with her, and immediately interrupt it to say "Hey everybody! This does not sexually arouse me! In fact quite the opposite!"
And then she'll wonder why everyone seems to find that response incoherent.
It's only funny, however, until you truly understand why it's happening. Then it's kinda... existential.
Pick up a popular book, written by women, for women. At random. We all know that the odds are it's going to be porn.
In fact, it's gonna be porn about the medium-height, slightly clumsy, brown-haired protagonist girl being kidnapped and ravished by a werewolf pirate billionaire warlord. And if you're wondering what "ravished" means, it's like rape, but sexier.
So what's going on here? Why are modern women so porn-brained, and simultaneously so contemptuous of every actual male within their line of sight?
This actually all fits together quite neatly. Women are not lying. They are telling us the truth. They are telling us exactly how they feel about all the things they see. They're just not very good at introspection. So they don't know why they feel that way.
If we read their werewolf rape porn, we can immediately see what turns women on... men who have power over them.
And the reason that women are reading werewolf rape porn is that actual men who have power over them are in short supply, and there's not enough to go around. Desperate for male dominance, they are mainlining a hypernormal stimulus in fictional form.
This is also the reason women don't care about any harm they are doing to men with their newfound political and social power. To them, any man who doesn't have power over them, and especially a man who they have the power to hurt, is viscerally disgusting. He is an unperson, useless to them, and they don't care what he is experiencing.
This is why they try to hurt men in the first place. Because they resent the fact that they can. They want us to be powerful, invincible, untouchable, and they lash out in frustration when we aren't, seeking to punish us for being vulnerable instead.
Funny thing is, it's not even their fault. This is genetic programming, after all, not a choice. Ovaries want what they want.
The bit they don't quite understand, however, the bit they haven't thought through, is that this doesn't work with the whole "equality" thing. A man can be more powerful than you, or he can be an equal. Can't be both.
And, of course, men really do have power over women. Not only are they unable to defend themselves against us, they need us to feed, clothe, shelter and protect them. If we were collectively willing to take their civil rights away again, we could do so immediately.
Women's rights exist only when and where men say they do.
In the book 1984, which many women will be unfamiliar with because it doesn't contain any werewolf rape, George Orwell describes a process called "doublethink", which is defined as "sustaining two contradictory ideas by not ever thinking about both of them at the same time."
In this case, the two ideas are "make me equal to you in power throughout society at large", and "have so much more power in our personal relationship that I am unable to hurt you no matter what I say or do".
Eventually, men are simply going to have to come to a consensus over what to do about this, and decide which of these requests to fulfill.
We can either be liberals, and accept perpetual female contempt as the price of that, or we can be vilified as reactionaries, but have women love us again.
What is never going to happen is that you are never going to get a majority of women to see the contradiction here, and agree that this makes no sense.
Which means we are going to have to make this decision on our own.

The only opinion needed on Stephen Miller is that anyone doing the "based Stephen Miller" memes or putting any hope in him or this Administration whatsoever has learned nothing and should be written off as too stupid to meaningfully contribute to the right-wing project.
I’ve tried my best to stay out of a lot of right wing disagreements. I was more of a doubter on Trump Admin over the last year, but didn’t see any benefit in publicly attacking the loudest Plan Trusters. But now I want to offer my opinion on Stephen Miller, especially as it relates to the Iran War.

This is their takeaway. The deportations that didn't go anywhere near far enough were the issue, not Israel's war on Iran. The Republicans are losers by design. They exist as a pressure release valve from the left and to dissipate your political energy into the ether.

You remember when you were younger and you were really good at something, then you discovered child prodigies who were half your age and mind-bogglingly better than you? Female teachers have that happen every year with every 7 year old boy with a passing interest in their field.

You’re missing the most important part.
Morality comes from God, not from some innate goodness of man. We are fallen creatures, enslaved to sin, and utterly incapable of saving ourselves. The Law reveals our sin. Only Jesus Christ can redeem us from it.
And Western civilization did not spring spontaneously from humanity’s natural goodness. It was shaped over centuries by Christian Europeans who built institutions, established laws, and carried their faith and civilization across the world.
You cannot separate the West from Christianity or erase the historical role of the European peoples who built it.
To the extent non-Christian lands pantomime a moral civilization, it is only because White Christian men forced it on them at gunpoint.

Its really simple- they are beings of pure envy and they hate that they cannot create or maintain what white people create and maintain, and thus they want to destroy us so that they dont have to state at a constant reminder of those facts

After events like this there’s always that one post
This is it
Every GOP strategist, consultant, and candidate should be forced to participate in a role-playing exercise this morning.
Your name is Bob. You’re a 49-year-old blue-collar worker in Ohio. You’ve always struggled to make ends meet. The good jobs were all shipped to China and the few remaining pay a pittance wage, undercut by endless illegal labor.
You’re a 3x Trump voter because you believed he would finally make America great again.
You put your son through Ohio State. He graduated cum laude in computer science. You couldn’t have been prouder. After months searching, he landed an entry-level job at Microsoft. Beneath his qualifications, but a good start for a smart kid.
Then he got laid off. That same month, Microsoft applied for 150,000 more H-1B visas because it can’t find qualified Americans.
Your son has spent six months back in his childhood bedroom, sending hundreds of applications without landing an interview.
On TV, Trump boasts about the greatest economy in history and how many women and minorities are finding jobs.
You decide a father-son steak night might cheer him up.
Gas is $4.50 a gallon. Filling your truck costs over $100. At Kroger, ribeyes are $30/lb. You settle for hamburger, even though 70/30 ground beef still costs $10+.
At checkout, a fat black woman is screaming at the cashier because her EBT will only cover most of the filet mignon and lobster in her cart.
You think to yourself how the Iran war has made everything expensive, but at least we’re stopping their nuclear bomb. You weren’t even sure where Iran was before you googled it after we first bombed them in March.
After dinner, you take your son to the county fair. Half the people aren’t speaking English. Virtually none of the crowd looks like you. You’re forced to leave early after a “teen takeover” turns violent. A foreign born judge pledges none of them will go to jail.
Back home, you turn on the TV. Vivek Ramaswamy is lecturing the crowd about American mediocrity and why Ohio needs more foreign talent.
Your son grows upset. You change the channel.
Now a Republican surrogate, the daughter of a governor or wife of an elderly billionaire, explains that young White men are the REAL welfare queens. They’d rather play videogames in their parents’ basements than work.
Your son says nothing. He just goes back to his childhood bedroom. You turn off the TV.
Then your neighbor starts blasting reggaeton and cracking open Modelos. He brought his cousin’s family from Mexico to help with all the minority-business contracts his construction firm keeps winning. Tonight they’re celebrating his nephew’s birth, the family’s first birthright American citizen.
You sit alone in your living room.
You worked hard, paid taxes, obeyed the law, and raised your son to do everything right. You voted Republican again and again because you believed somebody in Washington would finally fight for you.
Instead, your wages are stagnant. Groceries are unaffordable. Your community is unrecognizable. Your country is fighting another foreign war.
And upstairs, the son you sacrificed everything for is lying awake in the bedroom he slept in at twelve, wondering what the heck he’s even supposed to do with his life now.
Every time you turn on the TV, the Republicans you elected are either congratulating themselves or explaining why you and your son are the problem.
For ten years, they told you America’s future depended on your vote. Now you aren’t even sure America has a future worth defending.
The Republican Party needs to answer one simple question this morning:
You’ve spent a decade demanding Bob’s loyalty. You’ve given him stagnant wages, unaffordable groceries, another foreign war, and a son who did everything right but can’t find work.
And when they complain, you call them lazy, entitled, and racist.
What possible reason have you given Bob and his son to vote Republican? Do you honestly think you deserve their vote?
