A woman is somebody who feels like a "woman,"

Monty Python made a great bit about this decades ago.

"It's symbolic of our struggle against oppression.

It's symbolic of HIS struggle against reality!"

@Vermillion-Rx I've been loudly condemning terrorism and use of human shields among other shitty and inhumane tactics for years, here and elsewhere.

People mostly ignored it, till the Israelis started getting their same tactics done back to them at large scale. Then most people took the Israelis side when they cried victim.

I don't condemn "terrorists" one bit for dishing back the treatment that has been unjustly heaped on them for years and years while the world had HD video of it available, but not only ignored this but lavished money, weapons, and cover on the abusers.

What I condemn are those who express outrage from places of comfort, wealth, and safety, while ignoring life made so terrible for so long that risking death to push back against the oppressors becomes one of the best options.

Reread the definition of DARVO, please.

@Vermillion-Rx people criticize Iranians for chanting death to America in the streets, but leave out the little detail of America and Britain overthrowing their legitimately elected leader and installing their puppet the brutal and repressive shah. They criticize Iran for funding terrorists but leave out the decade America funded their adversary, a guy you probably heard about only after he turned on America, Saddam Hussein.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

@Vermillion-Rx It's very analogous to the way mainstream culture defaults to gynocentric assumptions and conclusions in SMP matters, and how easy it is to follow that well trodden pathway oneself. To do otherwise is so shocking and antithetical to mainstream norms, that doing so requires a transformative mental journey we call taking the red pill.

The same is true for automatic and unquestioning support for Israel. I see you not "hardlining or shilling " for Israel, but stuck in a mainstream perspective rut from inside of which you can't see the bias your perspective gets influenced by.

Concrete outcomes of this bias, accepting the position that actions taken by Arabs that strike at Israel make terrorism, while the exact same acts committed by Israel against Arabs and Persians are righteous self defense. Justice and accurate understanding of events requires digging into motivations and root causes. This requires personal effort and more significantly, personal moral judgment. Most people aren't willing or able to do this work, yet that doesn't stop them from accepting the mainstream perspective with all the righteous fury that could get justified by full understanding of the issues they posture about.

Artificial intelligence is now going out of its way to reinforce REAL STUPIDITY.

Unskippable Google AI ad. Woman dressed in too-nice clothes looking down at toilet tank hardware laid out on a tile floor. "Hey, Google, how do all these parts work together?" This is obviously the wrong question; the right one being, "How to install these parts" or even better, unfolding the damn paper that comes in the box with pictures and step by step instructions how to install them. Only by virtue of being inside the same toilet tank do the fill valve and flapper "work together" and this dumb bitch won't understand any of the hows and whys even after muddling through the job. Still, the ad ends with her dancing out of her $50,000 dollar bathroom like a TikTok short.

Next ad in this campaign, a guy brushing up on his rambling stream of consciousness woman emulation game. "Hey, Google- what's the best time this weekend to host a barbecue, and what's a dish I won't have to stand next to the grill the whole time?" Fuck it, I just closed the browser rather than endure another 2s of this retardation-amplification.

@First-light Israel runs tightly refined DARVO game at the Nation-State level. Sad that virtually all of the older/stronger/"better" nation states of the world default to playing right into it.

I mean, Mossad and AIPAC successfully embedded their tentacles into the highest levels of US Government, strongly compelling or incentivizing pro-Israel choices at every important step. But, average citizens are free to think and do as they please, yet so many of them default to going all-in on the Hasbara account of events without ever spending a moment's thought on the merits of alternative explanations and pathways.

@Vermillion-Rx

All they had to do was release the hostages

For a community whose FOUNDATIONAL principles include seeing through manipulative cultural narratives, groupthink, avoidance of "getting cucked", etc,

It always amazes me to see how quickly the whole lot of it gets chucked right out the window when it comes to Israel, and also MAGA.

@MentORPHEUS That was the second gulf war, not the first. We did actually find WMDs there the second time. No one cared because at that point it made no difference and, well, their presence seemed more due to laziness and mismanagement than an actual weapons program.
