If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Fuck me sideways. I just finished a several day long back and forth on FB that I thought was actually going somewhere. I was doing my best to explain why people might see antifa as more or less on par with neo-nazis, both being violent political groups flying the flags of regimes that murdered milli...

Today seems a little better, this article has started doing the rounds: https://thelongestway.com/2017/04/08/i-dont-like-the-antifa/ Much better approach and perhaps a way out for my friends getting caught up in the pro-antifa reactionary buzz. I've been getting warm reception to the idea. It's hea...

It's pretty much known rationalwiki is a lost cause. I believe Slatestarcodex is the biggest rationalist hub at the moment, and when they're mentioned there it's in terms like this: Do not trust websites which are obviously biased (eg Free Republic, Daily Kos, Dr. Oz) when they tell you they’re goin...

The this clown won't be crying into his prison pillow soon enough. My name is Eric. I’m currently facing years of prison time as the result of accusations made in the most shockingly hateful parts of the internet. On April 19th I began being targeted by a dedicated swarm of internet trolls known fo...

Alright, who is screwing with the submit button?

On the contrary. Niki still makes me laugh.

I've only recently stumbled on this. I called Ferguson rioters thugs on Facebook and a girl absolutely lost her shit over it, as if I'd just dropped an n-bomb. I think maybe in ultra-liberal circlejerks people agreed amongst themselves that it was a dog whistle equivalent to "nigger"? Then forgot t...

Fuck that shit -- 'thug' means 'thug' in the US, too. It's only SJWs -- inimitably being racist as they rail against racism -- who equate 'thug' with 'negro'. I've only recently stumbled on this. I called Ferguson rioters thugs on Facebook and a girl absolutely lost her shit over it, as if I'd just...

And right now the only harm Nazis can cause outside of being offensive is to join one of the actually murderous gangs and start curb stomping innocents. What kind of mindset do you need to think limiting someone's social and employment prospects to that path is a good idea?

Based on his/her posts at Jerry's I can't really say Aneris is reflecting the attitudes of the American left: https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2017/08/16/should-we-shame-bigoted-protestors-and-get-them-fired/#comment-1517511 Hell, I find myself in complete agreement with the proposal for go...

Oh, for fuck's sake. Here's what we're going to be hearing about for the next 48 hours. Additionally, I think I like Trump's point. What are you going to do? Take down statues of George Washington, who owned humans? He's getting pretty pissed. It's already started. From an article posted on my feed...

Oh, and Scented Nectar if you're lurking, I picked up No Man's Sky now that the price dropped to $20 and they've patched in a lot of the missing features. In its current form it's a solid indie title, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Right now I'm occupied with base building and taking side ques...

I am enjoying how Marcus demolishes the bigotry vs. racism question as a false dichotomy and struts about as if he's won something, when he's really just restated Pandavar's point.

Why not just prosecute everyone involved? The idiots are on video. Nothing will be done. This fully cooked. The media went for the most emotionally fed click-bait they could find. The story line right now is that the KKK is everywhere and must be destroyed with violence. Police will stand down ever...

The regressive leftist are out in force at WEIT's four Charlottesville posts, calling for suppression of free speech and general nazi-punching. Coyne wept. The Nazi punching thing has almost total support in my social circles, and this is despite said circles having a healthy mix of political views...

You know who put up statues to Stalin and Saddam? Stalin and Saddam. To glorify themselves in the eyes of the people. you know who put up statues of Confederates? The people themselves, often long after said Confederates were dead. And spare me the "traitors" bit. As if Peez and his retarded gaggle...

Anyone else anyone else concerned about Daily Stormer being run off the internet? Not that I have any love for them, but given Google just sacked a guy for suggesting gender differences might exist at the population level it seems that letting them be the arbiters of who does and does not get a publ...

I'm sure that the term has some value. But when you think that "women and men have different interests" is a "dog whistle" for "stay in the kitchen and also heil Hitler" maybe, just maybe, you've lost the plot. It destroys any chance of political compromise. It allows people to disguise naked bad f...

Yes, it's a very vicious tactic to silence dissent and smear any criticism of the SocJus. Lots of people believe this. They think Damore's memo is full of secret Nazi messages and "dog whistling". Dog whistling is the most vile idea I think I've ever encountered, and relentless trolling is the only...

PZ has taken to naming names from his family and taking photos of his neighbours as he established his star chamber for nazis. Fucking hilarious. I would love to let his pickup-driving confederate flag owning town-mate know they had a lump of a lib-tard senior lecturer on their case. http://archive...

Whilst watching the news and the almost unhinged blaming of Trump for Charlottesville, "he hasn't condemned Nazis" (yes you BBC) There appears to be one question no one seems willing to ask ...

His penis was destroyed in a botched circumcision as a ...

About 600,000 migrants have been rescued from traffickers' boats and taken to Italy since the beginning of 2014.

Is that number correct? That's absolutely insane.

Godfrey was leagues better than PC Principal. Though there was a moment of brilliance when Cartman is getting the shit kicked out of him for assuming the gender of Subway's spokesperson, and Cartman begs that he wasn't doing anything that bad. He'd only been trying to frame the principal for raping ...

I've had a number of liberal friends complain they go after our side more than they do conservatives, and from the creators' own words and watching the show I'm forced to agree. Still, so what? If there was one and only one explicitly conservative comedy show in American television (and it's not eve...

I meant to add, but decided not to abuse my edit privileges, that as has been mentioned here before a few times, some people have tremendous difficulty with satire, such is their incredible narcissism. Humorless cunts, the lot of them. Narciscissm is the correct diagnosis. "Comedy" is not something...

Whether or not the disparity is a problem is more a question of philosophy than science. What's rich is the Google memo explicitly takes the position that it IS a problem amd only argues for better understanding of the science on the grounds that you need to understand how something works to make ch...

Counter to appearances, this is from NPR and not The Onion.

The average IQ of an American of African decent is 85. That is one full standard deviation less than the national average. I find it helpful to remember that Ashkenazi Jews are a standard deviation above Europeans. It puts things in perspective when you start getting too gloomy about what a 15 poin...

I don't know what to make of this . It sounds rather plausible, but I wonder about the limits of this approach and possible biases involved. Is there someone here who has enough training in evolutionary psychology or other pertinent subjects who can tell me whether there is more merit to these idea...

I'd never heard of Baron til this morning. Badger does look good. I really love the idea of some mentally unbalanced super hero beating people up to protect endangered weasels.

If I'm recalling correctly the shitstain said the reason he hadn't had sex with raped a child is because of society isn't understanding of such things. It's not like I held Salon in high esteem before then, but that was the the Texas sized meteor that broke the camel's back. I think you're confusin...

Salon is a fucking shite rag. Do not engage. Salon allowed a pedophile to write an article where he said he was the real victim and people who didn't like the fact he wrote a previous article about how hard it was for him to live with the "burden" of his condition were the real monsters. They're in...

Both hypothesis are interesting, even though of course much more evidence is needed. Anyway whether homosexual attraction has a genetic or developmental origin doesn't change the fact that "reparation therapy" just doesn't work, and that it's extremely illiberal to force people to change their sexu...

I think that a lot of political/social activism from the SocJus and their "gender spectrum/gender fluid" paradigm muddles the waters, and doesn't allow us to truly understand the issues of disphoria and of other conditions. I'm not sure that declaring someone "trans" as soon as they say that they h...

Yeah but Steers, get to your damn point already over there (assuming you have one.) It's not about getting anywhere. After reading Steersman's back and forth with Kirbmarc for years now I'm convinced of that. I was cheering it on because I take a sadistic pleasure in watching someone else have to t...

I see you've found a new sparring partner, Steersman. First, you want to impose a radically narrow private definition of male and female based solely on operative gametes. This definition is so narrow that you would actually hold that post-menopausal women are not female. Go away before you make an...

With the push for the VA to cover SRS and HRT a blanket ban on transgenders seems reasonable. It's a mental disorder with a disruptive and expensive treatment plan. The military disqualifies people for less.

I'm only marginally familiar with the case, but it seemed possible Shakur was only a bystander to the cop execution. Not that I have much sympathy for her as that's the company she was keeping.

I haven't followed the story in detail - but I thought that in recent years there has been more and more evidence for people of African decent coming to Britain with the Romans. Though they were probably not a large portion of the population. A quick google gives: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-...
