I agreed with everything then you lost me at logos.

I believe he means the spirit of logic sans emotion in the original greek sense. Synonymous with reason or "spirit of reason". (I don't assume you don't know this but those following along might not). I don't think he's wrong that the groupfeels (as opposed to groupthink) of the internet has shifted to be more feminine and pursue hysterical tendencies than it was prior to the Iphone introduced in 2007.

Feels have become more socially valued than facts lately.

Feels have become more socially valued than facts lately.

I believe that's largely why they so doggedly pursue their tenet of anti-masculinity. Men tend to be rational and logical thinkers and women tend to be emotional and "pathetic" (as in pathos) ones. If you destroy masculinity to such an extent that it becomes dangerous to even talk like a man (and therefore think like a man), then you've greatly eroded the ground where the largest enemy to your religion must necessarily muster prior to an attack.

Watch clips of news shows from the 70s, or even the way that older comedians lampooned political shows of their time (like sketches from Monty Python). It's boring men sitting around a table and having a calm and dull conversation about the facts and issues. It's the least feminine way to have a political discussion. Compare that to today: it's Liked stories of a bartender-cum-congresswoman from NYC supposedly breaking down and crying in front children in cages. The rational objection that she's acting, that she was at a gate 1,000 meters from the facility, that the cages were myths, that the children were well treated, etc., all mean nothing. In fact, making rational objections lowers your de facto social credit score and makes it probable you'll be targeted by a female mob with their male enforcers. The logos has been destroyed and demonized. Evident in every commercial where a bumbling man fails to support his household while the competent woman with pockets on her pants (fashion is primarily a signal to women, not men) takes care of business. Evident in the fact that men who pointed out that George Floyd (identified as a cub for mother bears to protect) had a 3x lethal dose of fentanyl in his system and admitted to sticking the drugs in his asshole to get high, and he previously pointed a gun at a pregnant woman and shouldn't be missed, are attacked by the hysterical throng so much so that people have been fired for a single factually accurate tweet about it.

"They" needs to be expounded. The algorithms push the chattering classes, yes. "They" is not a monolithic group.

Men tend to be retarded, just like women. Only individuals can be intelligent, and only in their specific fields of intellect.

Masculinity won't be destroyed because by its very nature it doesn't give a fuck. It can be crowded out of the web but I promise you masculinity exists wherever construction takes place.

Yes, AOC knows her audience and plays their tune. Same as every other politician with an audience. She gives them what they want to hear. She is a reflection. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

The George Floyd comment is an ad hominem defense of the police brutality state. We live in the empire with the highest per capita prison population in the history of the world. Do not defend it. Making it about the individual is a small-brained divide and conquer tactic.

Logos can't be destroyed, only covered, hidden.

The IQ distribution of women clusters around the mean whereas the IQ distribution of men is vastly more spread out. Thus you have more male retards but also more male geniuses. For anyone 2-sigma or more away from the mean (<70 IQ, >130 IQ) they're more likely to be a man, and almost exclusively so at the extremes. https://i.imgur.com/boGyUKt.png

The George Floyd comment is an ad hominem...

It's not an ad hominem to point out that Floyd had just ingested a 3x lethal dose of fentanyl, you retard.

...defense of the police brutality state. We live in the empire with the highest per capita prison population in the history of the world. Do not defend it.

We live in an "empire" where a black minority commits a majority of the violent crime and are justly incarcerated for it. Remove them from crime statistics and we have crime on part with white European nations. https://i.imgur.com/ciewsSj.gif

The same is true for gun crime, despite our massive gun ownership rate: https://i.imgur.com/ftEjnHF.jpg

Fake agreement. You're ignoring that I'm saying there's a gendered difference in the audience and that it accounts for deleterious differences in social health. AOC doesn't just have an audience on equal footing with the past audiences I'm comparing. Properly summarize my argument in your rebuttals or shut the fuck up.

Logos can't be destroyed, only covered, hidden.

There is an incalculable amount of harm that can and is occurring due to the current and accelerating imbalance.
