It reminds me of these people who always type without capitals. How it infuriates me. And not to mention these people in 99% cases are really snowflakes.

Those people are proper cunts because it takes effort to do that because almost every text editor will capitalise automatically.

I teach 8 and 9 year olds, but the very first grammar that is taught at 4/5 years old is capitals for names and beginning sentences.

Amy Hamm's friend @eva_kurilova was just banned from Twitter for writing this article.

Their tactics just get worse and worse.

Actually it sounds like it may have been her banner - something about dog hairdressers - that they used as an excuse. Regardless, their account recovery system is trolling her.

Yeah, people were saying they'd never seen it before, but I'm pretty sure they did the same thing to Anna Slatz's account. It was because of her banner that time too, though she still doesn't know what they objected to there, since it was just a duck

well isn't that special.

I suspect this anti capitalization concept comes from the "I am not a corporate person" movement.

Legal documents or govt documents sent in the mail will often have names spelled in ALL CAPS.
Starting with a name documented on birth certificates and such.

There's a notion of birth certificates, or social security numbers, or similar, being "the Nexus" of the global social control/govt/governing control system.

The concepts have an an aire of "truthiness" to to them, because there's actually something to it. It's partly true, to the extent that most can recognize.

  • The root of the word "bond" found in the term Treasury bond, is bondage.
  • Bondage, as in slavery.
  • Treasury bonds, are issued, and bought/sold by the central banksters.
  • The basis for the value of these bonds, are the future collateralized incomes of the citizens of the country issing the Treasury bonds.
  • The interest paid to the owners of the Treasury bonds (profit for the bond holders), is generated by the income taxes of the bonded citizens.
  • The birth certificates (a personal legal document with ALL CAPS NAMES) are used as "warehouse receipts" which are the collateralized documents representing the citizen's future incomes (in debt bondage for future income taxes) that the Treasury bonds are issued against.
  • 0.0% of all money paid into federal income taxes pays for any govt services.

"100% of what is collected is absorbed solely by interest on the Federal Debt ... all individual income tax revenues are gone before one nickel is spent on the services taxpayers expect from government." -Grace Commission report submitted to President Ronald Reagan - January 15, 1984.

Edit:

The citizens of every country have been turned into voluntary debt slaves.
The US income tax system is "voluntary".

I don't know how the system works in counties other than the US.

But I can point anyone in the US interested in volunteering out of the income tax system in the legal, and a risk-free method of volunteering out of the voluntary servitude tax system.

It's only as expensive as the postage to the state dept, and the price of a US passport (if you want a document for legal recourse).

I'm going to be honest, this sounds like a load of schizo bullshit

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

I would have agreed with you 6 months ago. But what I've said is true.

  • The term for a free American is a "US national"
  • Not a "citizen"
  • Not a "non-citizen national"

Each of the three bulleted examples above is a distinctly separate political status.

However, technically each "US citizen" has a dual political status.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Certificates-Non-Citizen-Nationality.html.

As defined by the INA, all U.S. citizens are U.S. nationals but only a relatively small number of persons acquire U.S. nationality without becoming U.S. citizens.

See the second paragraph on the US State Dept website for that quote..

A "citizen" who is also a "national" can volunteer out of the "citizen" status, and retains the "national" status.

A "US national" is the equivalent to the constitutional "state citizen" with Constitutionally Protected rights.

They relabeled this coveted, and protected status.

Today's "citizens" are 14th amendment federal citizens.
The Jim Crowe laws applied to these "citizens"; hence the income taxes, and gun laws, etc.

I think that that’s something different. The Freeman on the land/sovereign citizen shit is hilarious but I don’t think it’s involved with this shit.

Edit: oh shit, you’re one of those people.

I'm very different.

I've already volunteered out of the system, and I pay no income tax. The IRS recognizes my status.

I'm a free American. 100%. With a newly issued US passport to prove it.

A "US national" is the US State Department's term for my status.

Mate, you’re going to be an American getting free room and board soon.

Not even close.

“When the feminist movement was at its zenith in the late 60’s and early 70’s, there was a lot of moving away from the idea of the person. It was: let’s talk about the ideas behind the work, and the people matter less,” - bell hooks

Seems to be the epitome of pretentiousness, and I can see this becoming Pronouns 2.0.

I wish to be addressed as cLASSROOMpAST6178 from now on…anyone who doesn’t do it is hatecriming me.

Does she expect people to say her name in a whisper, just to make it clear there are no capitals?

Actually, my name is barbara findlay. You clearly just said Barbara Findlay

[–]ClassroomPast6178 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Amazing! That didn’t even cross my mind, but why not? Controlling how people refer to you when you’re not present, controlling how people write about you, so why not control the manner in which people say your name.

It really is all about power.

Ew ew ew. Her personal website refers to her drawing up contracts for surrogacy as well as 'poly' relationships where there are kids involved. She makes specific mention of having had the 'honour' or working with Kimberly Nixon, the man who sued Vancouver Rape Relief for not allowing him to volunteer there and ignited a harrassment/ defunding campaign. Real civil rights pioneer.

What's the deal with women who just seem to enjoy hurting other women?

Also the lower-case thing reminds me of tactics by the 'Freeman on the land/ sovereign citizen' types who think they can avoid civil responsibilities or elevate themselves by redefining their identities.

[–]Datachost[S] 5 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 0 fun6 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yeah, she's a real piece of work. I think she described Kimberly Nixon as the Rosa Parks of transwomen. Which is insulting on multiple levels

[–]ClassroomPast6178 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

This is very confusing as Kimberly Nixon is also the name of the actress from Fresh Meat.

What's the deal with women who just seem to enjoy hurting other women?

Women can be incredibly toxic. Some feminists love to push the concept of sisterhood, how all women should feel solidarity on the base of being the same group, etc. but reality is much more varied. I think some women and girls are really terrible when it comes to holding grudges, shaming others for example for not fitting the trends/what each clique considers cool and so on. Many women can present a false persona just for acceptance (this can be complex too, as a result of low self esteem but also on purpose), for gaining success and sacrificing various stuff. They can find some safe space among a chosen group and then become very loyal to them and attack anyone perceived as a threat or the opposite of said group - surely mostly in different ways than men may commonly attack, but still.

Part of me thinks, no wonder some girls nowadays turn to non-binary or transmasc identities. They are not strong enough yet to find their happy niche to thrive and make something meaningful out of their life, so the pain they endure due to social ostracism (sometimes combined with family issues) causes them to think “womanhood is a burden, girls are less powerful/less valuable/perpetual victims etc.”. Therefore they feel like choosing another identity is a way to regain control over life and dignity. What’s tragic, while the fake positivity of modern feminism and other movements is masking the real problems, there’s also a new factor - the acceptance of the harm that comes with transness, validating these delusions as “their choice”, “their real self”. With anorexia problem, no one (except the proana community) was accepting the harm they do to themselves. With transness, it’s expected to validate that.

So, in short, yeah many women sadly love to hurt other women of various reasons.
