Webbon should exercise a bit of self control, evidence that he has no special access to miracle universal solutions. He also wants to suppress what allows his heretic cult to subsist, an indication that he also lacks wisdom.

So if men are only beasts, so are women, deserving no humanity? Ironically, fundamentalists are accusing science of presenting humans as beasts, when it also acknowledges that not all animals behave, or need to behave alike. We have brains, but many people don't make good use of it, even the immature who might eventually develop wisdom. Brains are also not anti-sex, they're organs that have evolved via reproduction and selection. Fundamentalists can still be anti-sex and pro-sex at the same time: it's evil to masturbate or to have "naughty thoughts", but raping a girl is "only a minor sin, dictated by nature". Sex is indeed natural, it doesn't mean that we can't learn about it and about the harm that predatory behavior causes. Or the suffering that victims experience from victim blaming and rape (and often, their offspring). Fundamentalists agree that society needs laws, so does the rest of society. But patriarchy would like to orient them against scapegoats and victims and claim that hate and abuse are the human nature. Thus their abusive culture includes victim blaming. They're still victims, even if you unjustly blame them for having features that attract you and for not being able to suppress those. Suppressing them would actually be unnatural. What is sex abuse? Part of it is the inability to understand and play within the rules of acceptable sex rituals. This also means that what is "acceptable" is being played with for propaganda, to normalize the unacceptable...

Note: the reason I included #conspiracy is that portrayal of a woman without full covering is misconstrued as intent to compromise national security. Of course, that's also a public threat issued by an oppressive regime, that may indeed be rendered obsolete, by the Iranians themselves. The same who's protests against abuse were met with brutality...

I hope that you're doing better and it may already be obvious, but I wanted to express that although the quackery joke was also inspired by your comment, it was not to mock you, but to mock the quacks, who would only have false "solutions" to offer...

Then, since it's somewhat related, an update about the aurora borealis: although I was incidentally in the suburbs for a few days, where in some areas it was very visible, I could see very little, because the area I was in was too lit. For the spotlights to be out of sight, I had to be between buildings with little sky visible. Some "rays" were faintly visible right above, but I couldn't distinguish their color. And my friends were sleeping, as it was late at night, and I didn't dare to go walk alone to reach the river at 2am without a proper flashlight.

It's around 19 years ago that not too far from the the same area, I really could witness it, inadvertently. A friend couple had just purchased a house in a developing area, and it was still very dark at night there.

I was back in the city yesterday night and it's been too clouded to try to see anything for the second northern lights night. The light would likely have been a problem again anyway...

Acknowledging that mercury can be harmful is demonization? It's a verifiable fact. The poor health of your victims would be another trail of evidence and the repetition of history.

Also, mercury does have some technological applications. It doesn't mean that it's the magical fuel of unexisting Vimana UFOs... And it's not because some applications exist that it's suddenly non-toxic or necessarily becomes an acceptable "medicine".

It is recognized for its ability to interact with a magnetic field, causing a motor’s rotating mechanism to spin rapidly upon contact with mercury

What would this be about? You don't need mercury to make an electromagnetic motor spin.

So you typed it on a typewriter than used OCR to post it on the web? Or you typed it twice, for great typewriter justice? But that's fine, I use a retro terminal emulator with various retro terminal fonts often, for coding, reading and writing.

have been marveling at the paradox we have arrived at: the new “normal” of the untethered radical Left is the result of their being different. What is now truly different is the old way of doing things; rebellion has become a rather drab and uniform affair of everyone being “different” in essentially the same rainbow way—all the while professing their diversity.

Isn't this projection? Things have changed over time, sure. Human rights being a radical thing? Then isn't the alt-right attempting to look "courageous", "rebel", whatever, because they are trying to retrograde society to the middle ages when many people in their right minds understand that to be ridiculous?

Forgetting that fried chicken nuggets were once live animals

Trying to bridge the wingnuts and the moonbats? Not uncommon. That's also Russia's strategy hoping to to weaken the West.

Not thinking of “having kids” and “having sex” as two sides of the same coin

Hardly anything new. The immature having sex don't necessarily expect a pregnancy, which is why they are acknowledged as unwanted (by rape or innocence). Sex education helps to understand and acknowledge the link. Still, you don't like it, because it helps girls, rather than submitting them to your control, your fantasy.

Then why don't you drop the panic propaganda? It's indeed a minority. But you're also confusing the normal human female variation, the intersex and transgender people together.

THE BATTLE IS FIRSTLY FOUGHT WITHIN THE MIND

Yes, you depend on brainwashing your victims against knowledge, reality, decency, health, etc. Everything that can increase fear, misery, conflict, is good for your fascism agenda. Anything that can deny medicine is good for your quackery business.

The governing “scientific consensus” shall not become as religious dogma

It never was, but that's what you would like. So you put up a straw man of science.

All "health" authorities, doctors, scientists, politicians, lawyers, and clergymen who willfully chose the cowardly chameleon’s path of least resistance, will be held accountable for turning a blind eye to the scientific method which has proven that their C19 injections (bioweapons) are not safe or effective!

Bullshit, distrust propaganda. You don't have anything better to provide than quackery and deception, so you must demonize what exists and what is effective.

The Western cult of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is the Trojan Horse for the Destruction of Traditional Judeo-Christian Western Culture!

Not related to science. But it helps to expose your agenda. Bigotry, inequality, abuse. And more straw men.

Best described as pseudoscientific woo. Just a parody:

Serpent: "Concentrate! Concentrate! Concentrate and you will be like God!"
Adam: "I need more details, on the technique."
Serpent: "Oh it's too complicated, just imagine that it's vibrations!"
Adam: "Oh."
Serpent: "Well ok, the hypothalamus, thalamus, pituitary, pineal, and thyroid complex of glands are the ‘time translators’ for our human bodies. The ‘translation’ of the ‘pulse of time’ that creates, then destroys, our Matterium 22 trillion times a second, results in changes in our hormones which are collected, stored, and distributed by way of these glands."
Adam: "Why should I care? I'm already perfect and can expect an eternal life if I eat a salad. Except there's that forbidden tree, and it doesn't allow me to taste its flavor. And how will that help with my prosperity?"
YHVW: "That's not what I created the pineal gland for, lying beast of the fields. I shall ..."
Jesus: "Well, you told me to, dad, but, I did it!"
Eve: "Please, can we just get a moment alone together? We're working on our prosperity, here!"

Yet another impersonator of an impersonator: "Just like we impose a fictious view of everything for disinformation purposes, so do we falsely claim victory was attained."

It is also unfortunately common for fanatics linked to false prophets to fail to recognize when they have been duped by their cult leader, who can keep up with the deception, manipulation and exploitation. Sometimes even resulting in mass murders.

Other than failing at history, you were right on one point: Hitler lost. There are society destruction extremist Neo-Nazi groups, some Odinist, who also promote joining Islamist terrorist groups. Many white supremacists are Islamophobes, feeding on a panic of being replaced and promoting an extremist type of militant Christianity, race and holy wars, etc. Even if some of them claim that society should retrograde human rights and practice the savagery imposed in some parts of the world under Islamic regimes...

Mathematics is a human language, with human conventions, that can be used to express any idea one wants to. Imaginary models, hypotheses and models intending to reflect observations of the world. To evaluate if an argument expressed with mathematics is true, or a fair representation of reality, there is the scientific method. The method involves more than arguments and language like mathematics, it involves observations of the world and testing hypotheses against reality. This is what also distinguishes science from pseudoscientific arguments, like the religious arguments for creationism claiming to support their doctrines using mathematics and science. That is also why they could not corrupt actual science, they need to come up with more than only arguments, they have to partake in the actual method and publish findings in relevant scientific peer reviewed journals. This also involves being ready to accept criticism. In this case instead, the claims are reiterated without review and assertions must also accuse actual science of not being so, because the facts that are being rejected by the doctrines are very strongly supported by actual evidence. It also attempts to suggest that for some strange reason, some symbolic metaphores of the world compiled in a particular ancient human tradition, derived from simple views of the world, seriously lacking in actual knowledge, should somehow supplant all the better knowledge that has been developed since. Fortunately, not all religious people subscribe to such reality denial, many understand that mythology is not supposed to be used to dictate.

rom time to time I like to expose fake, fraudulent and failed logic in my columns. Have you ever heard anyone say: "I gotta be me." Usually they are referencing some rebellion against God, their elders, parents, and/or some other authority figure.

This was enough to detect that this is not logic exposition but justifications to avoid actual critical thinking and jump to hasty speculation about supposed motivations. This is not correcting misconceptions, it is pushing bigotry. However, if what you seek is total submission to your rules, it's common to pretend that they are "God's rules" and to find all kinds of flawed justifications to accuse and complain and apply pressure to try to make people conform to it. Witnessing this is actually evidence that the mold and ideology are not natural or divine. The imposition, like the ideology, is just the work of some humans.

Conservapedia #conspiracy #wingnut #dunning-kruger

To evaluate what "liberal media" means in this context, one must remember that Conservapedia is this ultrafundamentalist project rejecting knowledge and reality to a point where it also involves the rejection of mainstream Christianity. Even the Bible is "too liberal" and needs to be doctored. And reliable knowledge sources must be discarded, including using straw men like "liberal media". This particular description is not intended to be satyirical, it's really that extreme. Oftentimes, when reading text on Conservapedia, it is difficult to distinguish it from satire and that fact has also been exploited by vandals who felt the irresistible urge to mock it. It's unclear what remains of the trolling material after being cleaned up by the few regulars, who have a hard time to distinguish it themselves. It likely results in a vicious circle to an increasingly deeper rabbit hole.

Edit: genuine funny typo fixed :)

Steve Kirsch #conspiracy #wingnut

Kirsch lied, people died. They died before the pandemic, they died after the pandemic, they died before the vaccine, they died after the vaccine. There is no evidence that the vaccine is responsible for many deaths, but there is evidence that the coronavirus was. There is also evidence that the vaccine was long awaited for and instrumental in helping to mitigate the pandemic. There is also evidence of harmful misinformation and disinformation being promoted by abusive regimes and crackpots like Kirsch. This post is more evidence of that. Reliable authority distrust disinformation propaganda.

Not all transgender people were anatomically intersex and they don't need to have been. That said, intersex certainly exists. Considering how you tend to demonize transpeople in general for any reason, it seems that once again, this is another excuse to deny them, even those where anatomy could serve as evidence of erroneous initial sex assignment.

Fschmidt #elitist #psycho #god-complex

Nazism was reactionary? It did push world control conspiracy theories to dehumanize many people and justify its crimes against humanity, while claiming that mass murder was "the solution". It also pushed eugenic policies. Even if the actual basis behind was false and that it was not actually reaction. Aside from the fact that pseudoscientific eugenism was also doomed to failure. For neo-nazis, conservatives are not "conservative" enough, so are also despised.

Since you're a fatalist misogynist incel who is not interested in a relationship, why not just let those who do live their lives and shut up, instead of trying to deny them that right and advocate to destroy society out of jealousy?

So according to this total crackpot, a crackpot made a prediction? It claimed that Russia would be the "hope of the world"? Assuming that it was true, how is all the bullshitting it's doing now perceived to be "hopeful" by "the world"? A few totalitarian regimes and their grifters are not "the world". And how is Russia, an oil regime, how will the highly polluting conflicts it promotes for the future, solve urgent actual problems, like preserving the environment and mitigating climate change? How are its divisive campaigns and promotion of anti-government and science-rejection cults, funding of extremists, supposed to be helpful and hopeful for the world? You know that because of its poor decisions, not only is Russia accelerating its pollution and armament pace, but so must various other countries in response. War also involves attacks on vital infrastructure and the resulting disasters, including major oil spills and accelerated air and water pollution. The ground will also remain a threat for future life on it, not only because of heavy metals toxicity, but also mines that will get triggered by playing kids. That's not hopeful for the world, bullshitter. In a UFO crackpot's mind, perhaps that we can escape to another planet. In reality, that's nonsense, Putin-puppet.

Parents With Inconvenient Truths about Trans #transphobia

What is it really like to have a trans-identifying child? It’s the worst feeling you can ever imagine. Your child, who you raised and loved, now tells you everything you knew about them is wrong, even when you know you are right

"What is it really like to have a transphobic parent? For a transgender person, it's the worst feeling you can imagine. Your parent denies you even when provided with the best information available about it and attempts to reassure them that you know you are right. In some cases, they may even be involved with online hate speech and cultish anti-science campaigns."

Your friends shun you. Your family blames you. You’re lucky if your spouse is on the same page. You have no one. You imagine killing yourself to escape. Meanwhile, your child changes their name at school, and receives the accolades of the school staff.

Interesting how this exposes abusive control. Someone else cannot be allowed to live and be successful, they must be yours, or your life supposedly becomes impossible. Outside of that pervert toxic loop, you could actually be proud and hope the best for them. That's borderline advocacy for honor crimes. Also, you're the one responsible for excluding yourself from their life.

Because it doesn't represent the people's power...

It has long been a Christian lobby rallying cry that the mere mention of homosexuality will bring about their imagined “homosexual dictatorship”, a prophecy that includes crumbling family structures, crashing birth rates, an AIDS pandemic, and gay soldiers surrendering en masse to a North Korean invasion[…]
“If such a law is enacted, it is certain that the activities of churches that teach the Bible will be restricted,” the United Christian Churches of Korea wrote in a translated email, “as it does not even allow criticism of homosexuality”[…]

Jesus' message was of love and forgiveness, why shouldn't yours also be? Hate speech and condemnation is not criticism. And ironically, you'd be getting closer to NK with the erosion of human rights. Even when accepted, gay people will always be a minority, contrary to your slippery slope panic narratives. When not rejected by families, they also do their part in it, even if not always with reproduction. I actually know a few cases where the only family member who still visits their elderly parents turns out to be. And there's no reason for those who cherish human rights to want to surrender to a totalitarian regime. Just like there's no reason for a gay person to be any less manly, if they're a man.
