"Respect" is a word that I retired from my vocabulary. Rambling about being disrespected reminds me of working class Italians, Irish, and minorities. And not in a good way.
The other words I have retired are "logic" and "reason." Rhetorical nonsense words.

Its always the same people demanding 'respick', sub-average thugs who give no-one respect or do anything to earn it but have an expectation that they should receive it.

i mean, when coded as 'respeck', maybe. but the english practically turned deference into a professional sport.

Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst faced intense questioning from her constituents during a Friday town hall, eliciting shouts and boos from community members over her support for President Trump's contentious One Big Beautiful Bill Act. One dismissive comment drew particularly intense ire: In response to constituents' concerns over Medicaid cuts, Ernst said, "We all are going to die."

The next day, the senator doubled down on her comments in a sarcastic apology video posted to social media. In the video, she appears to be speaking from the grounds of a cemetery.

Absolutely based. Give those working class Iowans what they truly desire: death in service of low taxes.

A lot of right-wingers truly rather die than live in a society that isn't totally in line with their warped version of conservativism.

And that is very cucked. Even if society isn't reflective of your narrow cultural taste you can still live a happy life.

The "live forever" tech people are experiencing fear linked to their own philosophy and worldview. The whole New Atheism and dunking on fundamentalist stuff was a lot of fun back in the day but as you age and the adults of your youth start dropping like flies, suddenly death is scary and must be avoided.

I think the whole "have 14 kids" thing is rooted in the same fear. 'Leave a legacy through your kids' stuff is what you do when you reach the age where your life fantasies of becoming Alexander the Great or whatever just isn't going to happen.

I think Musk likes the idea of tying these girls down and ruining their lives/bodies with kids. "The very masculine urge to hurt a woman to impress men."

...

The worst thing about racism is the hypocrisy. It is annoying that a white guy could be rewarded for behavior that would get me punished. For example, a white guy could dress like a slob and people will call him eccentric and focused on 'what really matters'.

Meanwhile I get stared at by old ladies in diners if I am not in a dress shirt and tie.

Same thing with Elon Musk and his kids. He can have 15 of them and not be in their lives at all. Conservatives will look past that or even celebrate it in certain circumstances. Meanwhile a black guy could put one kid into a girl and people will act like he committed a crime against humanity.

Fuck all that. Fuck Elon's kids and baby mothers too.

Did you ever notice how it is strangely the bookish university types flirting with fascism and these alternative political systems? It is like they learned the wrong lessons from how fascism and communism came to power, you know war veterans and disaffected workers acting as crash test dummies for people dick deep into boring party politics.

But no one wants to do boring party meetings and putting together projects / event planning etc.

Some people don't think Yarvin is important. They are wrong. But his value is not in his genius, which does not exist. He's the guy who says what fascist billionaires want to hear. Their embrace of the *ideas* he spouts — despite his unhinged persona — is the scary part.

Those ideas:
- Replace democracy with corporate dictatorship
- Total surveillance society
- Erasure of human rights
-Eugenics
Are a pressing threat 2025.

Despite being a guy with a "grand theory" of politics, Yarvin — like many of his billionaire acolytes — has zero knowledge of basic politics.

Yarvin is not the brain. He is the soul. Yarvin is who these men are on their deepest level: aggrieved nerds with a limitless desire for revenge and power. The only difference between Andreessen, Thiel and Yarvin is that Yarvin is not a billionaire.

seriously … who does this remind you of??

even down to the same constant ranting about ‘the cathedral’ of establishment snobs and bureaucrats. he’s like dominic cummings v2, with his 13,000 word diatribes about whitehall mandarins and the deep english state.

amazing how many times we have to see these people’s feet are made of clay before the angry nerds actually get it.
