civilian population isn't being removed by force, that may happen but that's your prediction. If all of palestineans do support hamas which I suspect is the case that may happen.

I didn't get though the whole article but I think this goes to far in the other direction. There is a lot of babbling in here about what is feminine and masculine but the points he makes can easily be rebuffed.

He claims women can't be soliders? I completely disagree. I would agree not all can but that would hold true for males as well.

He also talks about sports not being masculine. Again I completely disagree. The claims he makes clearly show he has never played a serious level of sport. There is absolutely a developed higher archy on a team. We call them team captains and co captains and quarter backs and the such. If you fail to preform you are placed in the bench or even removed from team.

The arguments he makes do not hold up to scrutiny.

Instant Pot was, generally speaking, a solution in search of a problem.

It didn’t really introduce any new, innovative tech. It had no moat in a market it had to expend all of its resources to create. Commoditization was kind of inevitable.

I’ve long been puzzled by the idealization of youth in the modern world. I mean that cultural tenet which views younger people as intellectually and morally superior to older people. It’s a very unusual view — virtually no society before modern society has held it. by Chipit in OpinionPieces

This comes from the feminisation of western culture.

Women think the sun shines out of their kid's arse and are often competitive and ambitious through their children rather them putting themselves upfront.

Add that to a bunch of men who want to get into the pants of young men and women via flattery and simping then you have a generation of people basically being told they can do no wrong.

An Accident Waiting to Happen. Since the end of the Cold War, the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation has distinctly strayed from its original purpose. It has become the vessel and handmaiden of US power, while its burgeoning expansion eastwards has done wonders to upend the applecart of stability. by Chipit in OpinionPieces

Premodern societies were based on older ways of doing things. Technological advances are driven and accelerated by younger people who are eager to have the latest and greatest gadgets. They often are the test market for new developments and advances while older folks are more likely to wait until the bugs are worked out before getting their feet wet- if they're interested at all.

Promoting the notion of youth as being morally superior essentially invalidates older generations' wisdom which limits them to little beyond being societal burdens; excess humanity that draws more in value from resources like health care than they contribute which ultimately makes them disposable.

The Transmaid’s Tale by jet199 in OpinionPieces

New toy concept- Mr. Potatogenitals...

I recently had a brush with people trying to use morality to justify their closed minds. It looks like calling things “problematic” and implying that you’re part of the problem for not abstaining from it like they are. The problematizing of all is a softer version of far more sinister patterns. by Chipit in OpinionPieces

[–]jet199 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Problematic is what they call a weasel word. I've tried to stop using it.

Either something is a problem or it isn't, so say that.

People are using it to insinuate something is bad without having to justify their smear.

And the 750 billion dollar settlement that Carlson was responsible for was just a coincidence ?

Wait - this one's confusing - so the Murdochs want the lobotomised population. And for years they had Carlson delivering their vision for a "quasi retarded population"?

Until he cost them 750billion and suddenly Rupert remembers that Carlson is no longer working to lobotomise Americans? And the tipping point was maliciously lying about a voting machine company?

This doesn't really make sense
