    A youth football club has been ordered to pay £3,000 compensation to the family of a 10-year-old player after his father said subbing him was 'emotional abuse' and 'racism'.

    The father took Berkshire-based Winnersh Rangers to a county court after his son's coach took the boy off the pitch during a pre-season football tournament in summer 2018.

    Part of me does genuinely wonder whether this is the beginning of the end of humanity as we know it. The way technology, and people, are going.... what with 3D printing body parts etc.

    I think in the future you'll be able to be whatever you want... cat, dog, helicopter, sandwich. You'll probably be able to change as easily as you do an avatar on a video game, eventually. In a way I guess it'll could be rather nice, because you can be judged on your character, on the presentation you choose rather than the fat ugly ginger body you were born with.

    Is it just me or are all of these SWJ-horrors confined to US and Canada? Maybe a little UK, but at least the british are fighting against the virus
    In the Nordics, continental Europe, none of this transgender rights movement, teenagers changing sex etc, exist at all

    Fuck em
    https://www.spiked-online.com/20…
    The Tavistock, the NHS clinic that specialises in treating
    children 'who experience difficulties in the development
    of their gender identity', has just released its annual
    batch of statistics. The figures reveal that the children
    being referred to the clinic are younger than ever, and
    that far more girls than boys are seeking treatment.

    As The Times reports, over half of all the children seen by the
    Tavistock are now under the age of 14. The number of
    13-year-olds referred in the past year rose by 30 per cent
    to 331, while the number of 11-year-olds is up by 28 per
    cent. The youngest patients were just three years old.

    Three quarters of children who want help to change their
    gender are now girls - the highest proportion ever
    recorded. We urgently need to ask why girls in particular
    are so unhappy with the prospect of growing up to be women
    that they would prefer to change gender altogether.

    one example:

    https://www.tue.nl/en/news/news-…

    the fact that stuff like this is smoothly going into effect without anybody, any *body* (university bodies, political bodies, civic society bodies, press) offering meaningful resistance or debate anymore means to me that the SJW horror is already here. maybe not as loud, but it's the same topics, same ideology, the same codes, the same campaigns, the same disgusting thinking like in north america.

    what I find the most concerning is that much of the infrastructure in academia and civil orgs is directly funded by official EU bodies.

    perhaps the tide is less obvious because the hashtags are specific to france, germany, spain, etc.

  • drgs0

    The new wave of moral panic explained like this:
    Social networks fuel the desire for mutual virtue signaling (the heart of SJW movement)
    All of instagram, twitter, facebook is a struggle for attention and validation from others. If you are a shiteater as a person and you live in shit, the most low-cost way to seem better than you are is to become the most radical version of what is considered “morally correct” in your social circle
    Something happening in American social psychology which complements this

  • shoes1

    I think fundamentally it's not about the virtue signalling but about classism.

    Like in that you set an oppressor class against a victim class. The virtue signalling is then based on the specific framing.

    Basically marxist classism, but the old framing of capitalist vs. proletarian is extended to other binaries like black vs. white, male vs. female, hetero vs. homo, og lezzies vs. trans, ad infinitum.

    It's basically neo-marxism, the very same primitive approach but with new frontlines. It's amazing that academia in the humanities has failed society so badly for the last 150 years, there's no significant progress at all. They are completely lost beating a dead horse or jerking each other off with meta ethics.

    The amount of funding for the humanities, the amount of work that's being done, what comes out of it is at best banning dodgeball or sending trannies into kindergartens and at worst pure fascism against whoever the oppressor class du jour is.

    I think there's a desperate need of the sociological pendant of what the Theory of General Relativity did for physics, a unifiying concept that produces cohesion not division. Something like what religion used to provide to society, but more universal.
