dunno if anyone saw but noahpinion finally outed himself as the bloodthirsty ghoul he is on twt recently

"Liberal regimes fighting with the odds so heavily in their favour in material terms and the sense of 'history being on their side' have an impatient expectation of victory - call this the pressure of the philosophy of history. If you are truly convinced your victory is inevitable, resistance is, as the saying goes, futile. Opponents that engage in futile resistance, exacting a price from you, long after their defeat is inevitable, are treated as 'mad dogs' that demand their own destruction. Not just their defeat but their erasure and total destruction. Rather than encouraging liberal agents of history to raise themselves to great personal efforts and sacrifice, this philosophy of history, this sense of historic inevitability counsels the opposite. If your barbaric, cruel enemy does not understand that they must lose, if they want to go down in a meaningless suicidal blaze, there is no reason anyone on your side should needlessly expose themselves to risk. After all, that would deprive those citizen soldiers of the victorious future that is rightfully theirs. Instead, minimise your own losses and let massive firepower do the work. Collateral damage, especially if it occurs on the enemy side, is barely worth a mention."

the kamala revisionism in general is just so disheartening to witness, this is the exact same kopmala from 2020 and everybody that's like not on this site is somehow unironically excited for her. not a burger so at the end of the day i can't do shit about it either.

'the ick' seems to just mean 'neurodivergent person did something neurodivergent' when i see it used colloquially tbh

im as cishet as they come, but does anyone else feel like we're too sexualised? how are the gays ever going to accept us if we're so hypersexualised? you know i just really feel like it's pushing our movement backwards being so open about it

i feel like tensions about dating and romance have really begun boiling up the past few years in general. there was a short period a few years ago where i thought incel-ism was dying out as an identity, but these days it seems bigger than its ever been

i honestly dont know how men are getting so mad about the bear thing tbh. like how is your first thought when confronted with women expressing how unsafe rape culture makes them feel 'but what about men's feelings though'?/??

BTW one thing for COTW, New Zealand this week - one of the big controversies with the old Labour coalition was the pushing of co-governance. Basically Labour expanded the power sharing agreements between the 'Crown' (The State) and the iwi (Maori Tribes), giving them more autonomy and decision making in areas like conservation, waterways etc. If you want to know more about it, you can read up here: Exploring Co-Governance

This ended up being quite unpopular, and there was a lot of concern trolling about 'democracy', and 'being decisive', from the right opposition. There were several other reasons why the Labour coalition was on its way out electorally, and pinning it solely on co-governance would be wrong, but of the populace that had an opinion on it, 26% were in favour, 31% against.^1^and it was a bit of a mask off moment. Anyway, part of the pushback the new National coalition is doing on Treaty issues/Iwi relations can in part be attributed to this pushback to co-governance expansion.

^1^ bonus TERFism in the polls XD

@Kereru@hexbear.net is afaik the only other active hexbear from here so they can correct me if I'm getting anything egregiously wrong. I'm less informed on local issues than I admittedly should be.

germany has consistently been on the wrong side of history since bismarck

my god south africa's case is so much stronger it's not even funny. surely some of my colleagues can stop pretending international law is a thing if the hague rules in favour of israel here jfc

the gamer rage about 'titty streamers' has to be documented like wtf is going on with that (misogyny)
