​You shouldn't talk about men's issues if you're not a man, because only men can truly understand the lived experience of men. 

Same goes for non-fascists discussing fascism. 

Sound ridiculous? 

It's just as ridiculous when you say the same thing about women or black people.

Why do people call almost anything a "genocide" these days? 

It's because if it's a genocide, then you're allowed to do extreme acts. 

To defend yourself, you see. 

You see this among the left tribe and the right tribe. 

You see people calling immigration "genocide" against the native population. 

Saying teenagers shouldn't get puberty blockers is called a  "genocide" against trans people.

If you look at both claims at their face value they are clearly ridiculous.

But if you see them as a bid to try to widen the Overton window about legitimate strategies to stop the "problem" they make a lot more sense

As with all things to do with humans, you'll find it's a lot more complicated than just that of course. 

There's the usual word inflation happening. And word inflation is exacerbated by the internet which rewards the people who use the most  inflammatory language. 

There's also woke ideology that encourages people to choose the maximally victimhood mindset. 

That combines especially poorly with idea that you cannot question anybody who claims to be a victim.

There is probably copying on both sides where both sides see the other side saying that everything is genocide and so they think hey, I could use that technique as well.

​And of course, there are actually legitimate genocides that happen. 

I'm just trying to figure out why people are calling almost anything a genocide nowadays. 

Like, having smaller percentage of your population be a particular race due to immigration and different fertility rates is hardly the same as going around with machetes and systematically trying to exterminate a certain race.

Reading a book about an ex-islamist recruiter saying that they purposely called any objections to them "racist"  because they knew it was a conversation winner. 

We also know this is the explicit policy of the CCP. 

People need to know this. 

If you have a win conversation button, people will press it.

You can't just have somebody call something racist and then there's nothing you can do. It will be abused and it is being abused.

Mr Beast has a classic woke mob attacking him.

Here’s a quick summary:

• Guilt by association. A 20 year-old woman on his team (not even Mr Beast) made sex jokes on a Discord channel that included a 13 year old boy. This is being portrayed as Mr Beast supporting pedophilia. 🙄
• Feeling bad=abuse. A young person decided to do a Mr Beast challenge, found it challenging, felt strong negative emotions, left, still got paid $110,000 for 11 days work, and is now saying he was pressured to do it 😱 Cause he couldn’t say no because he wanted more money.
• Some women were uncomfortable🚨 Another guilt by association thing. Apparently some girls on the show felt uncomfortable (gasp!) because one of the cameramen flirted with one of them (clutch your pearls ladies! A man flirted with a woman!!!!)

I could go on. There are endless ridiculous details. But that’s the gist of it. Just your usual woke mob nonsense.

I don’t watch Mr. Beast, but if that’s the worst people can find for somebody who’s worked with so many people and is so famous, I honestly update favorably on him.

I feel for him and hope he has loved ones close by to help him weather this woke storm.

And who knows, maybe he’ll realize what so many victims of woke mobs realize - that this woke stuff is horrible and should be stopped. 

Using his platform to fight that could help the world a lot.

The teenage boy, now an adult, has come out consistently saying that all the accusations are lies and nonsense.

For example, one of the accusations is that the woman in her twenties took him, a defenseless innocent 16 year old boy, out alone in a camper into the desert (cue ominous music).

According to the actual “victim”, that was a trip with the entire Mr Beast team and his family.

Anyways, this could be some crazy cover up conspiracy.

Or it could be a woke mob.

If the apparent victim keeps saying they aren’t a victim, I say - believe them.

For the young person doing the Mr Beast challenge, it was a challenge of $10k for every day he could survive isolation in a room stocked with a hot tub, ice cream machine, gaming consoles and VR headsets, and tons of other cool things.

Apparently they needed to keep the lights on for recording reasons, and that messed with the guy’s sleep. He also found being alone for days really hard (cause yeah, duh).

He quit after 11 days.

Now he’s doing a “tell all” where he complains that doing the challenge was challenging and he should have gotten paid more money for reasons (also the hot tub smelled bad sometimes! 😭).

Did the guy suffer? Yeah.

Did he know what he was getting into and do it anyways? Yep.

Is he taking any responsibility for making his own decisions as an informed and consenting adult? Not at all.

Why? Because he felt “pressured”.

The pressure? His greed. He wanted money.

And knew if he stayed longer, he’d get more money. And if he didn’t get the money he’d starve. (Classic woke catastrophizing. Dude just made $110k and is saying that if he didn’t make another $10k he’d starve. 🙄)

And when he didn’t get all of the money he wanted, he’s trying to portray the whole thing as psychological torture (solitary confinement! Sleep deprivation!)

He could have left at any time.

He did leave and get paid boatloads of money.

And now instead of saying “thank for the $100k!”, he’s trying to throw Mr Beast under the bus because he didn’t get even more money.

The classic woke cry-bully formula of using weaponized compassion whenever they feel strong negative emotions.

Mr. Beast if you're reading this, stand tall. 

Don't succumb to the mob. 

Don't apologize, because as an outsider who doesn't know you from Adam, it's clear to me you didn't do anything wrong and you're just the next victim of the woke ideology that is so very terrible. 

People will tell you to apologize, but that will just encourage the mob. It will be seen as an admission of guilt. 

Fight back. 

Fight back for yourself and fight back for the world. If more people see people fight back, it will encourage others to fight back too. 

This is just this generation's version of calling somebody a communist or running a satanic pedophilia cult.

You are just the latest target of this insanity, and you can use your fame to make a real difference here.

Woke = maximum entitlement + minimizing responsibility + feelings are reality.

Maximum entitlement = they deserve however much money or status or pleasure they want immediately and if they don’t get it it’s abuse.

Examples:
- A fat woman says its fat phobic to not be attracted to her (the female version of incel entitlement to women)
- A young person wants to get paid more straight out of college and doesn’t get their preferred salary. They say that they’re being exploited.
- A woman wants a promotion and doesn’t get it. Says the workplace is toxic and has to leave for her mental health

Minimizing responsibility = if a person makes a decision then regrets it later, it wasn’t their choice. They were forced/pressured/couldn’t say no.

Examples:
- A woman decides to sleep with a man. She later regrets it. She says that the person pressured her into sex and she couldn’t say no.
- A young person decides to take a job. He doesn’t like aspects of the job. He says that the job was toxic/abusive and he couldn’t say no. Otherwise he’d starve or be homeless etc.
- A college-educated woman decides to go into sex work instead of any other job. She says she was forced into sex work.

Feelings are reality = if they ever have strong negative emotions such as sadness or fear, it’s because they’re being abused / actually in danger.

Examples:
- A woman felt scared that if she said no to a man’s sexual advances he’d hurt her career. She takes the fear as evidence that he would hurt her career if she said no, even if she did say no and nothing bad happened.
- A black person feels afraid of police officers, which means he’s actually in danger from police officers
- A young person felt bad at work, therefore the work was abusive

Looting is bad

It's bad when the right does it.

It's bad when the left does it. 

Don't loot. 

If you find yourself on a team that is participating in looting, consider that you are quite likely the bad guys. 

Even if the overall cause is just, you must strongly and loudly disavow the looters and do your best to stop them because if you don't, it will hurt the rest of your cause. 

You will have lost all of your moral high ground. 

Don't steal. 

This is like, the most basic of ethical principles.

I had a friend who was a child soldier in Sierra Leone, and he once participated in looting because he was starving. 

And that was still bad! 

That food was going to be given out to the starving, and instead him and his gang took it and ate some of it themselves, and sold the rest for drugs and weapons. 

Don't. Loot. 

Duh.

Referring to the looting happening in England right now, which is shameful and dumb and reminding me that while I'm more often exposed to the far left, and they drive me nuts, I also am rather not a fan of the far right either. 

Probably because there is no such thing as a left-to-right spectrum, but rather, just left tribe and right tribe. So saying "far right" is just saying "extremely loyal to the right tribe". 

And extremely tribal people are much more prone to extreme behavior.

​Me the first time I saw a woke mob saying you couldn't question alleged "victims": Oh shit. Sociopaths are so going to take advantage of this. 

Memoir of professed sociopathic woman: When I was a teen I realized I could get anything I wanted by simply saying the person had sexually abused me. I started wielding this with power with abandon and it was awesome. 

Me: I was right. . . but somehow, I don't feel happy.

Highly recommend the book "Confessions of a Sociopath"

Especially recommend it if you're high on the altruism and authenticity spectrums.

It's really important to remember ~1% of the population are diagnosably sociopathic, and a lot of rules are in place to try to prevent this group from causing even more chaos. 

One of the most common mistakes I see people make is doing typical mind fallacy, where they think that everybody is nice and good, and if they aren't, it's just because of understandable circumstances.

That is true for most people. 

But far from all. 

And we have to set up rules taking into account everybody, not just most people.
