When will people simply kill their twatter accounts and walk away? These companies only have as much power as we give them. Stop feeding the beast!

If you don't let Naomi Wolf speak then how can we continually correct her?

Naomi Wolf? Wow, if she can't escape the cancel train no one can

Lol, Naomi Wolf has made a career out of being wrong about basically everything.

"Wolf was a guest on a BBC radio program, publicizing her new book, “Outrages,” a study of the criminalization of same-sex relationships in the Victorian era. She spoke passionately about discovering “several dozen executions” of men, including teenagers, accused of having sex with other men.

“Several dozen executions? I don’t think you’re right about this,” the host, Matthew Sweet, said, very politely filleting one of Wolf’s central claims.

What Wolf regarded as evidence of executions — the notation of “death recorded” on court records — indicated, in fact, the opposite, that the judge had recommended a pardon from the death sentence. Sweet said he could find no evidence that anyone had ever been executed for sodomy in Victorian Britain, and furthermore, that Wolf mistakenly regarded sodomy in the court records as referring exclusively to homosexuality when, in fact, it was also used for child abuse. “I can’t find any evidence that any of the relationships you describe were consensual,” he pointed out."

There's way more stories about her like this from this article here

Actually, no, she hasn't been wrong about everything. And no one is wrong to question the COVID or vaccines.

I'm not into her feminist beauty stuff or left virtue signalling that stinks of SJW-ness, as many on the left trying to be good sheeple do, but she's been dead right about this...

Even a broken clock is right twice a day - but she will forever be a feminist, which makes her a moron in my book.

I have no need for pejoratives.

She's much smarter than a broken clock, yet hindered enough to cancel that out.

She's neutral to me.

What irritates is how she is occasionally wheeled out as some kind of token. She has a cunt, and self-identifies as a feminist, so when she occasionally makes some sense it's like "Looky! Even Naomi Wolf says..."

Yeah, but the other 95% of the time she's a fembot idiot, so can we not?

A lot of feminists were just brainwashed as a kid and can never let go. I've met otherwise very intelligent people who can't drop their feminism and almost every problem that affects them somehow boils down to sexism. Talk about any other subject though and they've very clear minded and objective.

Yes, it's absolutely a form of mind-disease, that once infected is very hard to shake. It's a variation of communism, where our natural instincts to form communities become hijacked by a destructive meme.

The Frankfurt School (neo-Marxists) put a lot of effort into crafting a more effective strain than the old communism, and modern feminism is very much a result of those efforts. The infection, virus if you like, takes steps to protect itself and to propagate, just like a computer virus. Again, that's hijacking a natural neural pathway, which is why the infected have no real idea what happened to them. They think they just have a higher level of awareness ('woke') yet will instantly slide away from any facts or situations that contradict their narrative.

At best, Wolf can be considered a recovering feminist, who spots the odd glimmer of reality and mistakes it for her having a Great Insight that she must share, which causes normal people to do that annoying "Even Naomi Wolf says..." shit.

Super insightful.

I've often said religion (and dogmas) are social viruses.

[–]Bigs 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Our ability to absorb dogma and then pass it on is surely a survival trait for things such as "Don't eat yellow snow" or "You'll catch more fish with a net", but it seems the same mechanism can be hijacked, just like a virus hijacks a cell to replicate.

Go jungle trekking in deepest Borneo and at 7pm, as the sun sets, you'll hear in the distance someone warbling in Arabic the Islamic call to prayer. With an Arabian accent.

We absorb our memes, we protect them, we want to pass them on, but some of them are destructive intruders; a disease. At the Frankfurt School they created on purpose the 'Critical (subject)' family of destruction, to destroy Western Civilization.

It seems to be working, but the communism they think will take over will be speaking Chinese, and with no time for the wide-eyed idiots when they're no longer useful.

(So you know, bitcoin and a sailing yacht, because reasons)

It's a religious dogma. /s/Victimhood.

she's one of many that say a lot of controversial stuff but don't question 9/11
