    "This is the cost of talking to white people at all. The cost of your own life, as they suck you dry. There are no good apples out there. White people make my blood boil. (Time stamp: 6:45)

    I had fantasies of unloading a revolver into the head of any white person that got in my way, burying their body, and wiping my bloody hands as I walked away relatively guiltless with a bounce in my step. Like I did the world a fucking favor. (Time stamp: 7:17)

    White people are out of their minds and they have been for a long time. (Time stamp: 17:06)

    We are now in a psychological predicament, because white people feel that we are bullying them when we bring up race. They feel that we should be thanking them for all that they have done for us. They are confused, and so are we. We keep forgetting that directly talking about race is a waste of our breath. We are asking a demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero, to accept responsibility. It ain’t gonna happen. They have five holes in their brain. It’s like banging your head against a brick wall. It’s just like sort of not a good idea. (Time stamp 17:13)

    We need to remember that directly talking about race to white people is useless, because they are at the wrong level of conversation. Addressing racism assumes that white people can see and process what we are talking about. They can’t. That’s why they sound demented. They don’t even know they have a mask on. White people think it’s their actual face. We need to get to know the mask. (Time stamp 17:54)"

    I took my 10-year-old son and our dog to a dog park today. My son is obsessed with dogs. He loves every breed and wants to pet every dog at the park. Today, he asked why he likes dogs so much and why all of these dogs like him. I said, "It's simple, dogs are man's best friend".
    Then I hear from behind me "People"
    Excuse me? I said.
    Then she repeated "People, Dogs are "peoples" best friends".

    Robby Soave's explanation to the generational shift:

    It all started with pedohysteria in early 80s. Children were not allowed to be alone outside and had to have a babysitter at all times, surrounded with a ring of care and supervision, like in prison. As a result, a new generation has grown up that does imagine itself without forced protection from authorities and adults.
    Today they are 30-40 yo, all have rotting neovaginas, but still consider themselves children, they eat antipsychotics by the handful, panic at the thought of sexual touch and demand to have a babysitter.

    The French were right, underage sex should have been legalized:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr…

    The lesson is always the same: If you want freedom of speech, make no exceptions. Either we have freedom of speech and it includes Nazism, propaganda of pedophilia and child porn, or we don't have any freedom at all. You can live with some exceptions for a while, but this state is unstable and inevitably turns into tyranny:

    https://taibbi.substack.com/p/me…
    "100 years ago yesterday — on July 29, 1921 — Adolph Hitler was elected leader of the Nationalist Socialist German Workers’ Party, later known as the Nazi Party. A young Jewish Internet commentator named Manny Marotta wanted to call attention to the date, for educational purposes. He is very much the opposite of a Nazi or a fascist, and posts about history in the hope that people will learn from it. “I have a step-grandmother who’s a Holocaust survivor,” he says. “That’s part of the reason I started the account.”

    Nonetheless, Instagram pulled Marotta’s post on Hitler’s election, saying it violated “community guidelines.” When he appealed the decision, the rejected him again, saying his content went against their guidelines on “violence or dangerous organizations”"

    "Algorithms aren't our problem. The tech giants aren't really our main problem either.
    Our big problem is that a large portion of the population no longer believes in free speech, and that portion skews young. And journalists--journalists!!!--are among the worst.
    That's what enables the gradual strangulation of free speech.
    I'm getting old, but I don't even know how to argue with these people. How can they not see how stupid this is, how it will certainly lead to disaster?
    It's like trying to persuade people that oxygen is necessary.

    I listened to Matt on Jane Coaston (great podcast) trying to explain to the host and another journalist why they should be bothered by censorship. He finally said is exasperation "yes, and why does that not bother you!" That's always rhetorical, since it's impossible to explain why you are not bothered by something.

    If you were born before a certain date, the 1st amendment has a special status that simply doesn't exist today and no amount of telling people they should care will change that. We increasingly incarcerate people for doing things that in a previous generation would have fallen under protected speech. I'm reminded of that Star Trek Episode where a group of people who had a US Constitution now worshiped it as a religious document only the priests could read and even they didn't really understand it. You can create so many carve out and exception to a right that it ends up protecting almost nothing. US history is a 225 year process of doing just that.

    I don't know if this helps, but a few thousand years ago Polybius discussed the problem you raise in "The Histories." The further people get from the reason people build a democracy, the more people undervalue, ignore and take for granted it's primary features. This leads to oligarchy, they dictatorship, and if you survive long enough back to democracy, but each fails because the next generation always forgets the reason it was established in the first place."

    Btw, about age of consent:

    A study form 1995 where a group of (normal) men were shown pictures of women of varying ages (the age was not revealed), and they had to rate their attractiveness:


    https://www.sciencedirect.com/sc…

    Sexual attractiveness peaks surprisingly early at 14. Maybe like in all of animal kingdom a female is attractive as soon as she is fertile, but this study is also a case against pedophilia -- attractiveness falls abruptly before the age of 14. There are no normal men who are sexually attracted to 10 year olds. Nature draws a clear line here between pedophilia and pedohysteria.

    Just to be clear I am turning 40 soon and my age preference for women is 31-35.
