Richard Dawkins convinced me that Christianity was a lie. Now I'm seeing him talk about how being transgender is a lie and that we're insane. He's a biologist so he knows what he's talking about. Now I'm struggling mentally again after years of trying to work through accepting who I am.

Yeah, he was especially good at reaching out to gay teens and giving them actual advice and not just telling that they’re fierce. He was always realistic, I recall numerous times him telling a teen who had written in or called that whilst they were under-18/living with their parents/at college funded by parents, if their parents were anti-gay, just tone that shit down until you can get out on your own. Also, telling them to give their parents a chance and time to get used to things.

His “it gets better” campaign to cut teen gay suicide was rather clever and I believe even the Obamas did a video for it.

I had time for him. But the selling out really made me feel that he could no longer be trusted to be unfiltered (he was always giving harsh truths, especially about some of the deranged kinks and practices some people were doing) but if he was going to pass everything through a woke filter then he was no different than every other progressive outlet.

I kinda agree, it does seem like a half-ass solution, at least as far as explained here. But I'm not sure I agree people who download pictures are "true criminals". I think the true criminals are the people who made them (assuming they weren't self-made). If the goal is to focus more on CP producers and less on people who just have the pictures, that would certainly be a good thing in my opinion. But on the other hand, I'm aware of the practical justification for possession being illegal, which is primarily to destroy the market for commercial production. I suppose there's some doubt about whether a misdemeanor still adequately accomplishes that goal.

This is what “tolerance” has wrought.

They’re going to legalize kid fucking. It’s only a matter of time.

You know why this is true? Because members of a “pro pedo activist group”, who surely have names and addresses, feel safe operating in the open. Which means they are a protected class. And all western governments exist do the bidding of protected classes.

“Only with parental approval”

Let’s see how long that lasts.

This is insane. They’re going into schools to troon out kids. This is literally the type of shit we were all told would never happen and that we were being paranoid for even suggesting that the whole endgame was going after kids.

Then again, what’s to stop them? In saner times, people who talked about doing shit to kids were dragged off in cuffs or taken for a car ride somewhere and were never seen again.

Now they operate in the open and cry about being afraid if you merely criticize them.

Why even bother modding something like that?

not sure.

It’s the 95 percent that make the other 5 percent look bad.

OuroborosTheory

reminds me of the "gentle suggestion" I saw on here that friends go to a cafe or somewhere before meeting a TQ friend and practice using their new pronouns; and that's on top of the "you shouldn't act like you want a PRIZE for just doing the bare minimum!" ingratitude and the "I don't want overt compliance, I want you to want to think of me this way" ego-tripping

fuckin' unsatisfiable black holes, even if you dedicate your life to someone with no personality other than TQ you're still never more than a replaceable non-player character

I generally agree. His entire brand was about not giving a shit and trolling people who were irrational about gay shit. But also his entire brand only exists if he can avoid being cancelled. His type of personality is why i found gay men to be more entertaining in the past. There was a very strong "fuck your feelings I'm not hurting you by existing" vibe back then.

Cancelthis

He's not wrong though.

At least at some level, the access to firearms and ammunition - and a vehicle, and a vehicle license, are things that he got from his parents.

But really, for the same reasons that legislature and executive offices and the judges and attorneys should be in prison.

The quality never dropped, he was/is phenomenally entertaining, but he was definitely on the sex positive/don’t kink shame side but I felt when he got called out for his use of the word tranny (he used it a lot in his podcast iirc…and he only ever used to refer to transvestites never transgenders) that he had caved and couldn’t continue listening to him. I’d lost respect for him as he had never given a fuck about anyone complaining before. I can’t tolerate sell outs.

He was never what I would consider woke, he was tolerable progressive, who seemed to just genuinely want people to be happier in their sex lives (and some hard truths too).

Q-Continuum-kin

That part isn't clear according to the article. It seems like everyone gets swept up into the same law in Germany. It's like the "zero tolerance" policies everyone complains about in the US where administration and law enforcement ignore context because they don't want to deal with fallout from making any actual decisions.

That and clearly if you took photos of yourself as a kid and forgot about them, like clearly the person isn't trying to distribute but had photos.

It will only seem less worth it as the strangle hold of our captors tightens. When your previous privacy is the difference between a firing squad, a cell, and freedom, today, you will judge its past value differently. The problem is that this end will never be reasonably foreseeable at the time when it is applicable. In better times, such problems seemed much farther off.

Look for a guy on Youtube that goes on about freedom through foreign citizenship holdings. He's started to mention there are few places left to escape.

SoCo

Literally everyone has been saying he should do this, even CNN knuckle-draggers.

Q-Continuum-kin

I never really listened to him at all. Did the quality of his podcast go down or was it more you were annoyed at his caving in that made him seem less appealing? I only listened to him talk a few times but since he invented Santorum i kept note of him.

Seems like you could easily write the law to age limit a felony level crime to non-minors.

How about if you actually take a look at like 99% of my records for once? Also, what's wrong with me teaching people how the deep state actually works? Being unaware of who is the strongest group and how they are related to each other is anti-Intellectualism incarnated.
