Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
You can hold TRP views on attraction, behavior, and personal standards without losing sight of a core western value: freedom.
Disagreeing with how some Western women live does not mean endorsing tyranny, theocracy, or state violence. The issue in Iran isn’t women wanting Western vices, it’s a regime that beats, cages, and kills its own people for refusing submission to Islamism. That’s not morality, it's tyranny.
Under TRP, a man is free to choose. He’s free to reject women with traits he finds degenerate. But that freedom only exists when the state does not decide for him, or for her, under threat of imprisonment or death.
Men overthrow tyrannies, yes. They always have. But they do it so that their people can live by merit, character, and consequence. Not by compulsory obedience enforced by batons, bullets and death. A society where women are forced into “virtue” at gunpoint produces neither strong men nor moral women, only fear and resentment.
In the West, we can criticize excess, decadence, and decline because we are free to do so. That freedom is exactly what Iranians are fighting for.
May the 20th century with its racist discrimination by skin colour and religion, its horrors beyond counting, and the immense sacrifices our forebears made to prevent such suffering stand as testament that freedom for all mankind is worth fighting for.
They bled and died so that no man would be ruled by birth, creed, or obedience to a tyrant. We dishonour that sacrifice if we shrug when new regimes revive the same old evils under different banners.
Freedom is not negotiable. We will not stand still until that aim is achieved. Freedom for all mankind.
Read More@Bozza So, judging by the poster, Iranian women want to be free to adopt the vices of western women. Aside from a few attention seeking protests, their men will have to do the heavy lifting of overthrowing a regime. I do hope the men then have the sense to maintain no interest in women with vices.

Seeing what's going on in Iran is insane.
Things have escalated massively over the past 24 - 48 hours and looks like the regime may genuinely be overthrown.
Iranian regime have cut off all internet, phone lines, electricity and even street lighting to try and quell unrest. This has had no effect.
MSM largely silent. Almost everything coming out of Iran is through Elon Musk - Free Starlink to Iranians is bypassing the internet blockade, and X is providing real time updates to the outside world.
Most recent news (although unconfirmed) is of a US military build up in the middle east, and a recent post from trump that the [truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115872214156165257](US stands "ready to help").
We might be about to see the revolution and overthrow of the Iranian regime.

Why is there always more heavy, interesting discussion on here when I only have time for a quick skim?!
Here's hoping to get into some of this with you guys later...
I could have simply said…
“ A glass of milk is boring compared to a gram of cocaine"
Thanks again. All good advice. But the moves you mention depend on timing, which again is impossible. It’s gambling.
The barbell strategy Taleb talks about appears to be ironclad.
And yes, many players have a formula - and I too am seeking one. I am going to keep seeking it until I die or get tired of trying.
Feels are good, but for me it has been impossible to detect the tipping points. If I were going on feelz, I would short sell the shit out of the S&P500 - but I have been thinking this for years. And so far, no pop.
This is not the place for such discussions, and neither is r/wallstreetbets. But I’ll find it.
